Special Containment Procedures: Armed Mobile Task Force Titan-3 ("Bloody Third") are to maintain a perimeter of one kilometer from the entrance to SCP-6706-Alpha. Under no circumstances are SCP-6706-2 instances permitted to exit this area and if the perimeter is breached, use of Mobile Task Force Titan-1 ("Off the Books") is permitted. If SCP-6706-2 instances breach into a foundation site, Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") and Mobile Task Force Epsilon-9 ("Fire Eaters") are to enter the site and terminate all SCP-6706-2 entities. If AMTF Titan-3 is terminated or forced to retreat, Armed Mobile Task Force Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") is to engage the SCP-6706 instances until AMTF Titan-3 is fit for combat.

If a foundation site is breached by SCP-6706-2 instances, 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL "Boiler Room" is to be enacted by the site director, assistant director, and project head. Detonation of the on-site nuclear warheads is to be used as a last resort unless other containment procedures conflict with PROTOCOL "Meatgrinder" or the assigned Mobile Task Forces fail to re-contain the facility.

Description: SCP-6706 is the collective group of root-like soldiers, a vertical shaft 50 meters deep beneath the ground in Orinda, California, and the garden that lies at the bottom, producing the SCP-6706-2 instances.

SCP-6706-2 instances appear as thick roots grown into the shape of a male human or female human and possess swords, shields, and spears all made of root growths grown out of the SCP-6706-2 subject. If SCP-6706-2 instances capture an area, large root-like growths will appear from the ground, covering most floor space within the room. It is currently theorized that the more SCP-6706 spreads, the stronger it becomes. 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL "Boiler Room"

The garden located within SCP-6706-Alpha is 65 meters in diameter and is capable of producing dozens of subjects within minutes. It appears that SCP-6706 is beginning to weaken, as drone footage reveals the garden beginning to wither. It is theorized that this is due to the constant production of SCP-6706-2 instances although not confirmed.

Addendum-6706-1: 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL "Boiler Room"

---

Preface: 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL "Boiler Room" was developed on ██/██/20██ by Director Charles Hollender, Assistant Director Lorem, Project Head Zofia Kalt, and Dr. Sam Strass. PROTOCOL "Boiler Room" was developed in response to the attack by SCP-6706-2 instances and the spread of the SCP-6706 growths throughout Armed Reliquary Area-CH-1, located under Black Hills, California. After the rescue mission into Reliquary Area-CH-1 failed, and all operatives were terminated, immediate action was taken to prevent further loss of foundation facilities.

Abstract: This temporary protocol has been created to prevent further loss of life and foundation property.

Protocol Information: 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL was developed by Project Head Zofia Kalt to prune and weaken SCP-6706 from expanding and becoming stronger.

• Eight operatives of Mobile Task Force Epsilon-9 ("Fire Eaters")

• 16 operatives of Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox")

• Eight F-10 Flamethrowers

• 20 Incendiary Grenades

The spread of SCP-6706 marks a disaster for the Foundation and surrounding areas. This cannot be allowed to continue. We cannot allow this pest to attack us. The damage sustained in sites is not enough to detonate the warheads, however, we can rid the sites of the SCP-6706 growths. The briefing of 64-KALT PROZ PROTOCOL is listed below:

• Two teams of 12¹ are to enter the facility and move to the rear of the building.

• Task force agents will slowly move back through the facility, igniting each room unit by unit.

• Operatives exit the facility and lock the entrance for approximately 12 hours.

Discovery: SCP-6706 was first discovered on ██/██/20██ as several hundred instances of SCP-6706-2 attacked Reliquary Site-90-1 and terminated 96% of personnel. A total of ███ staff were terminated and 12 persons escaped to Site-90, 18 kilometers away. Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") and Mobile Task Force Titan-1 ("Off the Books") were deployed to Reliquary Site-90-1 and terminated 70% of instances before they retreated. Mobile Task Force Zeta-6 ("Midnight Trackers") were deployed to track the instances and Anvil-1² was deployed to investigate the structure the instances retreated to. An audio log is listed below.

What this is

A bunch of miscellaneous CSS 'improvements' that I, Croquembouche, use on a bunch of pages because I think it makes them easier to deal with.

The changes this component makes are bunch of really trivial modifications to ease the writing experience and to make documenting components/themes a bit easier (which I do a lot). It doesn't change anything about the page visually for the reader — the changes are for the writer.

I wouldn't expect translations of articles that use this component to also use this component, unless the translator likes it and would want to use it anyway.

This component probably won't conflict with other components or themes, and even if it does, it probably won't matter too much.

Usage

On any wiki:

[[include :scp-wiki:component:croqstyle]]

This component is designed to be used on other components. When using on another component, be sure to add this inside the component's [[iftags]] block, so that users of your component are not forced into also using Croqstyle.

CSS changes

Reasonably-sized footnotes

Stops footnotes from being a million miles wide, so that you can actually read them.

.hovertip { max-width: 400px; }

Monospace edit/code

Makes the edit textbox monospace, and also changes all monospace text to Fira Code, the obviously superior monospace font.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fira+Code:wght@400;700&display=swap');
 
:root { --mono-font: "Fira Code", Cousine, monospace; }
#edit-page-textarea, .code pre, .code p, .code, tt, .page-source { font-family: var(--mono-font); }
.code pre * { white-space: pre; }
.code *, .pre * { font-feature-settings: unset; }

Teletype backgrounds

Adds a light grey background to <tt> elements ({{text}}), so code snippets stand out more.

tt {
  background-color: var(--swatch-something-bhl-idk-will-fix-later, #f4f4f4);
  font-size: 85%;
  padding: 0.2em 0.4em;
  margin: 0;
  border-radius: 6px;
}

No more bigfaces

Stops big pictures from appearing when you hover over someone's avatar image, because they're stupid and really annoying and you can just click on them if you want to see the big version.

.avatar-hover { display: none !important; }

Breaky breaky

Any text inside a div with class nobreak has line-wrapping happen between every letter.

.nobreak { word-break: break-all; }

Code colours

Add my terminal's code colours as variables. Maybe I'll change this to a more common terminal theme like Monokai or something at some point, but for now it's just my personal theme, which is derived from Tomorrow Night Eighties.

Also, adding the .terminal class to a fake code block as [[div class="code terminal"]] gives it a sort of pseudo-terminal look with a dark background. Doesn't work with [[code]], because Wikidot inserts a bunch of syntax highlighting that you can't change yourself without a bunch of CSS. Use it for non-[[code]] code snippets only.

Quick tool to colourise a 'standard' Wikidot component usage example with the above vars: link

:root {
  --c-bg: #393939;
  --c-syntax: #e0e0e0;
  --c-comment: #999999;
  --c-error: #f2777a;
  --c-value: #f99157;
  --c-symbol: #ffcc66;
  --c-string: #99cc99;
  --c-operator: #66cccc;
  --c-builtin: #70a7df;
  --c-keyword: #cc99cc;
}
 
.terminal, .terminal > .code {
  color: var(--c-syntax);
  background: var(--c-bg);
  border: 0.4rem solid var(--c-comment);
  border-radius: 1rem;
}

Debug mode

Draw lines around anything inside .debug-mode. The colour of the lines is red but defers to CSS variable --debug-colour.

You can also add div.debug-info.over and div.debug-info.under inside an element to annotate the debug boxes — though you'll need to make sure to leave enough vertical space that the annotation doesn't overlap the thing above or below it.

…like this!

.debug-mode, .debug-mode *, .debug-mode *::before, .debug-mode *::after {
  outline: 1px solid var(--debug-colour, red);
  position: relative;
}
.debug-info {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
  font-family: 'Fira Code', monospace;
  font-size: 1rem;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
.debug-info.over { top: -2.5rem; }
.debug-info.under { bottom: -2.5rem; }
.debug-info p { margin: 0; }

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard 10 meter by 10 meter concrete containment chamber with a glass viewing window measuring 6 feet across and 5 feet down. Viewing window must be outfitted with a cognitohazardous filter. All personnel that enter SCP-XXXX's containment chamber must be wearing goggles that filter out cognitohazardous effects. It is possible for SCP-XXXX to breach containment, but highly unlikely to, as it is immobile.

Description:
SCP-XXXX appears to be an ordinary 30cm × 30cm × 30cm × 30cm 3 dimensional square canvas that stays in place of wherever it is moved. SCP-XXXX has been found to consist of firmly woven cotton and linen fibers. On the surface of SCP-XXXX, there is a picture, which, through further testing on D-Class personnel is found to exhibit mild visual cognitohazardous effects. Most humanoids affected by SCP-XXXX become mildly confused and walk away from the general vicinity of SCP-XXXX. The surface of SCP-XXXX, the picture, is further designated as SCP-XXXX-1. Through further testing carried out by Doctor Ray Garous, SCP-XXXX-1 is found to be the source of SCP-XXXXs hazardous effects. SCP-XXXX was discovered at the Louvre Museum in November of 2005. SCP-XXXX was often remarked as "the most unique exhibit at the Louvre" as each time a bystander looked at it, they became confused as a result of and responded with any variation of "Oh, it was lovely" when asked about the exhibit. Further observation of an individual affected by SCP-XXXX have shown that prior to one week of the time of infliction, the effects wear off. Attempts to alter the effects of the hazard by thinking about something before looking back at the surface have proven unsuccessful.

Discovery: The Foundation was alerted of SCP-XXXX's existence when a civilian looked at SCP-XXXX-1 and was unaffected by the hazard. News reports about how the Louvre was lacking in their art, the Foundation tasked Mobile Task Force unit Eta-10 "See No Evil," with observing SCP-XXXX. MTF Eta-10 was outfitted with sunglasses that contained cognitohazard filtering lenses. The task force observed countless civilians approach SCP-XXXX and immediately turn away and walk out of the area upon viewing its surface. The task force was then debriefed and tasked with the containment of SCP-XXXX and its transportation to Foundation Site-73. Further investigation of SCP-XXXX's origin leads back to the spring of 1992, the timeframe that SCP-XXXX was brought to the Louvre. Mobile Task Force Eta-10 "See No Evil," detained the Louvre's current curator and brought her to a secure facility for interrogation. Extended interrogation with the museum's curator indicates that SCP-XXXX was donated to the Louvre on May 18th, 1992 , by a man named Alexander ██████. She explained that at that time, SCP-XXXX was in a burlap sack, and that she forgets everything that happened for a week after she opened the sack. Through further research into local records, Alexander ██████ passed away in his manor, located in Nice, France, on May 28th. 10 days after his donation of SCP-XXXX to the Louvre. His cause of death was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning. Mr. ██████'s manor has been visited by MTF Eta-10, and found to not physically exist, or to have somehow been moved in its entirety to a different location. There are no other manors in Nice, France that fit the description given on the autopsy record. The museum's curator was transported back to the Louvre and administered a Class-C amnestic agent. For more updated information, see Foundation Internal Memo XXXX-1.

TEST LOG XXXX-1

---

Test XXXX-1 - Date June 3, 2007

Subject: D-2295

Procedure: One (1) D-Class subject is introduced to SCP-XXXX's containment chamber and instructed to look at the surface, then look away, and to report anything odd or not right.

Results:
1200h Subject D-2295 looks at the surface of SCP-XXXX, appears to be confused, and tries to walk away. When he fails to exit the area, he continues to walk into a solid brick wall.

[DATA OMITTED]

2300h Subject D-2295 states that the picture is the most amazing thing that he's ever seen. When asked to describe the picture, he responds that he has no recollection of ever seeing any picture.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-1 has been observed to exhibit visually cognitohazardous effects, that leave the viewer confused and force them to attempt to leave the area.

INTERVIEW LOG - XXXX-A

Interviewee: D-2295 (Michael Arlinson)

Interviewer: Doctor Ray Garous

[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]
Dr. Garous: I understand that you've been affected by a visual cognitohazard exhibited during your testing with SCP-XXXX. Can you describe what that was like?

D-2295: …No…I don't think I remember any sort of…picture. Are you…feeling okay, doc?

Dr. Garous: Interesting. So you are saying that you have no recollection of ever seeing a picture on a canvas during your time here at the Foundation?

D-2295: Uhm, no. Not that I'm aware of.

Dr. Garous: Alright. What is the last thing you remember?

D-2295: Last I remember is being escorted to a concrete room with a big metal door and a viewing window with blurry glass in it. Then someone opened the door with their keycard and now I'm here with you.

Dr. Garous: Thank you for your time, Michael. You will be escorted back to your living quarters. I will come and see you again soon.

[END TRANSCRIPT]

Closing Statement: D-2295 seems to have no recollection at all of his hours of testing with SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX appears to exhibit mild cognitohazardous effects to all those that view its surface.

Test XXXX-2
Date: [DATA REDACTED]

---

Subject: D-2356

Procedure: 1 D-Class subject is introduced to SCP-XXX's containment chamber after being outfitted with one (1) medium intensity oxygen acetylene cutting torch, one (1) sharpened steel knife of medium size and one (1) pair of goggles outfitted with cognitohazardous filtering lenses. D-2356 is instructed to attempt to separate the picture (SCP-XXXX-1) from the canvas, using any means necessary for it to be separated as a whole, and to not, under any circumstances, remove the goggles.

Results:
5 hours after the initiation of Test XXXX-B, D-2356 successfully manages to separate SCP-XXXX-1 from SCP-XXXX. D-2356 removes his goggles to wipe perspiration from his face, and looks down at the canvas. He immediately starts screaming for help, appearing to be in great pain.

[DATA OMITTED FOR FORMALITY]

Analysis: SCP-XXXX-1 appears to have been filtering the effects of SCP-XXXX. Further orders to be relayed from the Overseer Council.

Incident: D-2356 (Jonathan Larstrom) was killed during the testing of SCP-XXXX. An autopsy carried out by members of the Foundation Medical Department revealed that each one of his bodily functions shut down slowly, one after the other. It is believed that this is the result of either separating SCP-XXXX-1 from SCP-XXXX, or that SCP-XXXX-1 is a filter of some sort used to lessen the hazardous effects of SCP-8619.

Greetings,

Effective immediately, SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 are to be contained separately so as to obtain the full anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX. By order of O5-██, SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 are to be remanded to Site-19 for further containment and research. Dr. Ray Garous will be remanded to Site-19 to oversee testing and research of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1. By order of O5-██, SCP-XXXX is to be reclassified as an Esoteric anomaly, with a secondary containment class of Continua. SCP-XXXX-1 will be classified as ████████, and will be used to ██████████ ███ ███████ of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 will now require Level 5 clearance, with the exception of Level 4 members that have sufficient evidence of permission to access SCP-XXXX-1.

Stay paranoid,
Dr. ██████████,
O5-██
Overseer Council,
SCP Foundation
"Secure. Contain. Protect."

The Child

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: This SCP’s containment measures are currently unreliable. However, during the continuous and ongoing research into SCP-XXXX, an affinity for UV illuminated environments has been noted and implemented into its procedure for containment. UV lighting fixtures are utilized in SCP-XXXX’s current holding cell, and site personnel are required to utilize handheld UV emitters (created by Dr. Shaun) when provoked by SCP-XXXX. As an additional counter measure to SCP-XXXX’s anomalous properties and violent behaviors. Subjects and personnel involved with testing will require several LEDs in the event that the fixtures within its cell short circuit. These LEDs must emit at least 2000 lumens.

SCP-XXXX is a relatively new object and was recovered 01/01/21, additional testing is required to learn of properties that have yet to be observed. Requests from SCP-XXXX immediately require approval or denial from a site overseer. Use caution if site power shuts down as this provides a favorable environment for SCP-XXXX’s anomalous effects.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a biologically standard Caucasian male of eight years old; other than the sclera of SCP-XXXX being absent, no additional biological abnormalities have been observed. While SCP-XXXX is awake it is violent towards male personnel and subjects.

The anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX are only present in the absence, and by proxy, absorption of UV light. Anomalous effects initially present as three orbs of light circling around SCP-XXXX; these orbs emit lethal doses of radiation within a 1.524m radius unless light is present- time of presentation is infrequent regarding the manifestation of these orbs. Negative emotional stimulus has been observed to increase the chances of manifestation by 30%, bringing the percentage up to 70%. In the event light is present near these orbs, 2000 Lumens of light will immediately be absorbed into one of the three orbs. When the light has been absorbed, without obstruction, the orbs will disappear and SCP-XXXX will enter a comatose state. During this state, site personnel are required to note any abnormalities within the facility and report them to the site overseer.

Addendum: Recovery Log

Date: 2021/01/01

Note: The condition of SCP-XXXX was critical upon recovery, it had three lacerations on its back and was recovered from an apartment complex. The apartment SCP-XXXX was located in had the body of SCP-XXXX’s deceased father. The foundation was called after local law enforcement reported two missing officers. No further contact from the apartment complex was received.

Transcription:

Agent Thomas: Lights are out for the whole complex, several police vehicles outside, please advise.

Foundation Contact Center: Proceed with caution to apartment 228, ensure your team remains alert.

Agent Thomas: Affirmative, proceeding.

Several minutes passed without contact

Foundation Contact Center: Has your team reached the target?

Agent Thomas: Yeah, but it’s a damn mess here, two officers dead, and a dead middle-aged male near a kid; condition doesn’t look good, unconscious. advise.

Foundation Contact Center: Retrieve the child and vacate the complex. We’ll have a van waiting outside for you. Have your team check the bodies for possible anomalous properties, or signs of.

Closing Statement: Thomas’s team detected a lethal dose of radiation surrounding the father of SCP-XXXX, as well as the male officers. An interview with SCP-XXXX was conducted shortly upon recovery and stabilization.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Roberts Amelia

Foreword: The subject was initially hesitant to converse, but was willing to communicate.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Roberts Amelia: Hey there, I’m sorry to have to do this to you, but we need to know what happened to make sure you are okay.

SCP-XXXX: Okay..

Dr. Roberts Amelia: Can you go ahead and tell me what happened today?

SCP-XXXX: My dad is dead…I did it, he-he hurt me…sobbing I didn’t want those policemen to die..I didn’t..I didn’t sobbing continues

Dr. Roberts Amelia: I understand this is difficult for you, but we need to know what happened so we can help.

SCP-XXXX:Okay. SCP pauses

Dr. Roberts Amelia: …Do you remember what happened?

SCP-XXXX: My dad was always mean to me. He hurt me and mom before she went away, but he got worse some days, and I started sleeping more…today he just, he tried to hurt me, I didn’t mean to hurt him, I just wanted him to stop, I don't even remember waking up; it felt like a dream…This feels like a dream SCP-XXXX slumped in its chair

Dr. Roberts Amelia: Here no one will hurt you, and you will be safe, but you do have to stay here and we need to understand why this happened. You aren’t in trouble and we want to keep it that way. After this I’ll give you a tour, that is if you want to stay here. There are other facilities as well.

SCP-XXXX: I want to stay here.

Dr. Roberts Amelia: Good, but I need to know…what happens when you sleep?

SCP-XXXX [Redacted]

Closing Statement: At this point the brief interview ends, and Dr. Amelia had site personnel escort SCP-XXXX to its cell. SCP-XXXX is now restricted from exiting its cell, unless testing permits so. This restriction was given following an incident with Dr. Shaun after testing his emitter; Dr. Shaun was treated for radiation sickness. Further research is necessary for a better understanding of SCP-XXXX and its properties. Further testing measures are pending ethics committee approval.

Doll Maker

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX requires constant surveillance due to its anomalous influence on site staff and personnel that are terminally ill, gravely injured, or depressed. Per standard containment, SCP-XXXX's item case is to remain locked unless otherwise authorized by a staff member with level 4 clearance. Site staff are to remain on high alert when their colleagues sustain an injury that could lead to their expiration; onset of anomalous effects begin after initial injury, or onset of depression. Site staff must undergo standard psychological and physical evaluations for signs of memetic or physical contamination by SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to be contained in standard humanoid containment cells at Site-23. Protocol "Mutiny" is to be put into effect following the exposure of a site overseer to SCP-XXXX. For additional information, refer to Addendum 4545-1.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a do-it-yourself dollmaker’s kit. The kit itself is non anomalous in appearance only; the kit has an unexplained allure to persons who are terminally ill, suffering from a severe injury, fearful of the prospect of death, or depressed. This influence has an undetermined area of effect. Due to the uncertainty of this area of effect, all site staff are required to undergo standard psychological evaluations. If a member of site staff is exposed to SCP-XXXX outside of its containment case, then that staff member is considered an SCP-XXXX-1 instance until the transformation process either doesn't occur, or proceeds as documented. The instance is to be monitored and interviewed before and after the transformation process is complete.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances are transformed when a person creates a doll from SCP-XXXX. The doll created will change in appearance to match that of the person who made it; upon this change, the person will begin to take on a porcelain appearance- this is due to an anomalous alteration of the sebaceous glands causing them to secrete altered sebum that calcifies when oxidized. The height of the instance will also change to match that of the doll they created; internal organs will remain biologically intact and function normally. The doll created will revert to its unaltered state upon completion of the transformation process. Becoming an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 increases lifespan by 45 years regardless of age or ailment.

The transformation process has been described as “painful, but beautiful” by most instances. Instances' perception of this process is influenced, however, they do maintain the usual sentience and personality that they held prior to transformation. SCP-XXXX-1 instances are non-violent and are compliant with containment. Site members who have become instances understand containment protocol and are still valuable assets to the foundation, and Site-23. SCP-XXXX-1 entities require additional care to walk, drink, and eat due to impaired mobility. Instances may only speak through the use of sign language (ASL); the vocal cords of instances experience the same process as their skin, and as a result harden causing speech to become impractical. If an instance did not know ASL prior to transformation then efforts will be made to teach them. Notepads will be provided as an additional option for communication.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was recovered on 05/23/1993 in Georgia after MTF Epsilon-6 ‘Village Idiots’ responded to a request for aid from the Norcross Police Department. This request for aid was in response to the discovery of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance. This instance was recovered from a local library and cooperated with MTF Epsilon-6 in the acquisition of SCP-XXXX. Once detained and transferred, the instance of SCP-XXXX-1 requested termination as it was discontent with its current existence (initial instance of SCP-XXXX-1 claimed to be from 1922 after recovery). The request was granted after Ethics Committee approval.

Addendum 4545-1: Incident 2613 Documentation

+ Incident 2613

Incident 2613 occurred 2 weeks after recovery of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1. A member of site staff noted overseer Muller acting obsessive towards SCP-XXXX. The overseer ignored his duties to other objects and constantly inquired on the status of SCP-XXXX. He gained access to SCP-XXXX's containment case and became an SCP-XXXX-1 instance. Security was unable to reach Muller before he created a doll. An interview was conducted after the overseer was detained.

Interviewed: Overseer Muller

Interviewer: Dr. Collin

Forward: Overseer Muller was delirious, sweating profusely throughout the interview. The interview concluded when Overseer Muller collapsed to the floor and complained of pain in his abdomen. Dr. Collin then concluded the interview, tending to Overseer Muller.

< Begin Log, 06/06/1993 4:00pm >

Dr. Collin: Hello Muller, I understand that you were recently exposed to SCP-XXXX. Site staff, and myself, are concerned about your condition. How are you feeling?

Overseer Muller: I'm feeling fine, better than I was before. Why are you all so concerned? When can I return to my duties?

Dr. Collin: Well, considering you were just exposed to an anomalous object it's obvious why. Your duties are also out of the question until we can ensure you're fit to return.

Overseer Muller: Really I'm f- Muller stops, falling out of his chair and clenching his abdomen…Oh god, my stomach, my skin, what the hell!

Dr. Collin quickly exits the room, then returns with security staff

Dr. Collin: can be heard faintly Alright, get him to a containment cell right now! Dr. Collin grabs recorder and shuts it off

< End Log, 06/06/1993 4:15pm >

Closing Statement: Overseer Muller remained an SCP-XXXX-1 Instance following the interview and was removed from his overseer position. A request for a replacement overseer was approved by the 05-Council. Muller remains in containment with other instances of SCP-XXXX-1. Protocol Mutiny created.

Protocol Mutiny: If a site overseer is under the influence of SCP-XXXX and requests that SCP-XXXX's case be opened, all available site staff and security are to detain and contain that site overseer until they are screened and cleared psychologically. If SCP-XXXX's influence is absent after evaluation, then the site overseer may return to their duties. If SCP-XXXX's influence is apparent and present after evaluation, then a request for replacement must be sent to the 05-Council.

Addendum 4545-2: Euthanasia/Disposal Procedures for SCP-XXXX-1 Instances

Approval To Euthanize
. Approval must be obtained from the Ethics Committee
. Once approved by the Committee, an instance must give their own approval
. Once approved by the instance, the procedure may continue

Euthanasian Procedure
. Provide Instance with orally administered pain narcotic
. Make a 12.7mm incision into instance's skin (industrial power drill recommended)
. Prepare barbiturate, paralytic, and potassium solution
. Use incision as injection point- soft tissues exposed
. Guide and comfort the instance through death
. Prepare instance's body for disposal

Disposal procedure
. Escort the instance's body to the on-site incinerator for cremation
. Place the body into the incinerator and follow standard instructions (if not known, instructions will be given to you)
. Put the remaining debris into standard bio-hazardous material bags
. Place the bags into waste bins located outside of the incinerator room

Unification Collar

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the inert nature of SCP-XXXX, it does not pose a direct threat to foundation staff. However, under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX to be utilized on non-anomalous humanoids. The crystal that gives SCP-XXXX its properties should never be removed; removal of the crystal could lead to a containment breach. An approval of experimentation is required for testing of SCP-XXXX on any and all humanoid anomalies currently in containment. Site-19 anomalous storage is responsible for SCP-XXXX's containment.

SCP-XXXX's containment case is a standard locked container.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a collar created by Dr. Colin Flood for the purpose of nullifying the effects of anomalies with reality bending capabilities and dimensional shifting capabilities. The collar is made of steel, rubber, and a crystal capable of absorbing photons. The energy gained from the absorption of photons is then converted, by anomalous means, into a unifying force that keeps anomalies tethered and confined to the laws of our reality. This collar only affects anomalies with the aforementioned capabilities.

SCP-XXXX is able to adjust its size to fit abnormal humanoids. If an anomaly does not have a neck, SCP-XXXX should be placed on the thinnest appendage that the object has. Dr. Colin Flood has yet to explain how and why SCP-XXXX can affect other objects in the way it does. The collar and the crystal remain inert unless placed on a humanoid. SCP-XXXX's properties effect only the individual or object it has been placed on.

Addendum: Dr. Colin Flood agreed to an interview following Incident 7-00; in which Colin experimented on fellow researcher Dr. Mallory Lynn. This experiment was never submitted for approval and violates ethics guidelines. Per violation parameters, a termination order for Dr. Colin Flood is pending.

Interview Log:

Interviewed: Dr. Colin Flood

Interviewer: Senior Researcher Able

Foreword: Following Incident 7-00, Dr. Colin Flood was interviewed in hopes of determining why he would use Dr. Mallory Lyn as a test subject. During this interview, Dr. Lyn was pronounced dead, and Dr. Colin was subsequently informed.

<Begin Log, 04/12/2019>

Senior Researcher Able: You understand why you’re here, so I won’t bother with introductions. You are responsible for the critical condition of Dr. Mallory. Why exactly did you do this?

Colin Flood: Well, the device needed testing, and she wasn’t going anywhere in the foundation; might as well end a life that they would eventually destroy anyway.

Senior Researcher Able: That’s your justification for this incident? pauses You understand that what you did could lead to your termination, correct?

Colin Flood: Yes, but I have no concern with that, as long as my findings help in the aid of containment.

Senior Researcher Able: You’ve already tested it on what it was meant to contain. So why test it on a non-anomalous humanoid? An important one I might add.

Colin Flood: She was there, she trusted me, and I viewed her as a threat to our efforts.

Senior Researcher Able: How did Mallory pose a threat? She has a clean record and has helped in containment as you have. She is as much of an asset as you were.

Colin Flood: I-

Senior Researcher Able: Hold on

Able at this point was informed of Dr. Lyn’s death via radio

Senior Researcher Able: Your ‘threat’ is gone. Stay here for a moment please, I need to step out.

20 minutes pass

Colin Flood fidgets during Able’s absence

Able Returns

Senior Researcher Able: passes papers to Colin Flood Per ethics violation resulting in the death of a staff member, you are being considered for termination; please fill out the papers provided and you will be escorted to a cell. We’re done here.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: After this interview, Dr. Colin Flood was considered for termination and a termination order is pending. Further investigation into a motive revealed that Dr. Lyn had connections with GOI Serpent’s Hand. While Colin Flood has not given an official statement, it is assumed that the connection was the primary motive for Incident 7-00.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-3 are to be contained in a standard locker at Containment Site-56. The following are to be placed on SCP-XXXX-1:

• An incense holder with a heat-safe plate to catch ashes
• Two red candles placed on either side of the incense holder
• A hand bell
• Various statues of Taoist deities as requested by SCP-XXXX
• SCP-XXXX-3

Each week, SCP-XXXX is to be fed daily according to the schedule below, accompanied by the appropriate procedure.

Monday-Thursday: 8 servings of food being served at the site cafeteria that day, brought into SCP-XXXX's containment locker in a wheelbarrow.

Friday: 1 Steamed bun with char siu filling, 8 pieces of pork and shrimp siu mai, and 1 navel orange, brought to SCP-XXXX in a tray

Saturday and Sunday: 500 grams of tofu of any kind³ brought in a bowl

Feeding may be performed by any personnel whom SCP-XXXX has expressed trust, friendliness, or benevolence toward. Occasional substitutions SCP-XXXX requests are to be submitted to any level 3 researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX for approval. With every daily serving, one stick of sandalwood incense and a lighter are to be brought into the locker with the personnel performing the procedure, herby referred to as the "feeder." Additionally, red candles are to be brought as replacements for candles that are no longer useable.

The following procedure is to be followed when feeding SCP-XXXX every day at noon:

1. The feeder is to knock on the locker door before entering.
2. The feeder is to greet SCP-XXXX and wait for a response. Feeders are permitted to use nicknames so long as SCP-XXXX explicitly approves of its usage.
3. Following a response, the feeder is to place the sticks of incense in the holder If ordered by senior researchers, a short request is to be stated.
4. The candles are to be lit, followed by the incense.
5. The hand bell is to be rung continuously until air emitted from SCP-XXXX-1 extinguishes the candles.
6. Upon the activation, the feeder is to bow three times and place the food on SCP-XXXX-1. If in a wheelbarrow, the food is to be left in front of the altar.
7. Once the food has fully entered SCP-XXXX-2, the feeder is to remove the plate from SCP-XXXX.
8. Unless SCP-XXXX-3 sparks conversation or manifestation is expected to occur, the feeder is to exit the locker.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation for an entity consisting of three distinct components, designated SCP-XXXX-1 though SCP-XXXX-3 respectively.

SCP-XXXX-1 with SCP-XXXX-3 on the left.

SCP-XXXX-1 is the designation for a wooden table measuring 50cm in height, 700cm in length and 50cm in width, and an accompanying soiled purple tablecloth. Anomalous properties manifest only when two red candles and an odd number of sandalwood incense sticks are placed on SCP-XXXX-1 and lit.

Following the lighting of the candles and incense, ambient air will be emitted from SCP-XXXX-1 with indefinite amounts of force. Feeders have described the emissions as ranging from the "feeling of a light breeze," to "a brisk gust." However, the force of this initial emission is never forceful enough to extinguish the candles.

The intensity of the emissions do not increase until a designated hand bell is rung, after which the intensity will increase until the candles are extinguished, and an opening into SCP-XXXX-2 is created, although invisible to the eye.

SCP-XXXX-2 is a local dimension of unknown size, of which the sole content is a massive volume of food from various known and unknown cuisines. Various incidents where contents of SCP-XXXX-2 flood out have shown that food within SCP-XXXX-2 are not masticated or broken up in any manner, but remain undamaged. Analyses from various attempts at explorations and artificial openings of SCP-XXXX-2 have suggested that this dimension is not able to keep itself open, but rather is kept open by the mass of its contents. SCP-XXXX-2 cannot be accessed through any openings created in SCP-XXXX-1, as shown in the Experiment Log. However, openings into SCP-XXXX-2 can be created artificially, although side effects may cause harm to participants. Various fatalities have been recorded as a result of mismanagement, due mostly to the immediate influx of SCP-XXXX-2's contents flooding out into the testing area, and asphyxiating subjects. Analysis of the surrounding reality around the opening show slight fluctuations in stability as the contents of SCP-XXXX-2 exit, leading researchers to hypothesize that SCP-XXXX-2 serves as a kind of stomach for SCP-XXXX. Too, artificial openings have been observed to close hours after opening, believed to be a result of SCP-XXXX-2 acting as an organ, and thus healing as such.

SCP-XXXX-3 is a Duraband CDR1906 alarm, radio and CD player, believed to be SCP-XXXX's only method of communication. Despite not being connected to a power source and missing a power cord, SCP-XXXX-3 is able to produce vocalizations in English and Mandarin Chinese. Security footage has shown SCP-XXXX-3 producing sounds when no personnel are present, singing and humming various Chinese and American folk songs and speaking in both languages, referring it itself with comedic and often childish names such as "Fatso" and "Skinny." SCP-XXXX-3 has referred to every component of SCP-XXXX as being part of itself, suggesting SCP-XXXX-3 is the speech organ of SCP-XXXX. On irregular intervals, SCP-XXXX-3 will emit sudden vocalizations, citing the creation of an opening into SCP-XXXX-2 outside of SCP-XXXX-1.

Usually, SCP-XXXX is cordial toward Foundation staff, having expressed negativity only on occasions in which it perceives personnel have broken basic etiquette, often corresponding with Confucian ideals such as avoiding facing the sole of one's foot toward SCP-XXXX-1, providing food outside of scheduled meal times, offering foods SCP-XXXX considers as "Yeet Hay"⁴, or offering an amount of food that SCP-XXXX perceives as greater than seven tenths of the amount needed to reach satiation. Often, when asked questions, SCP-XXXX will answer with cryptic and often vague statements, mostly direct quotes from the Tao Te Ching or Zhuangzi.⁵

Discovery: The Foundation was first made aware of SCP-XXXX when an engineering institute in Silicon Valley, USA reported three fatalities to local authorities following the testing of a solar-power rotary motor model. Agents embedded in the San Francisco police department brought attention the manner of death, stating that the large rooms in which the motors were tested had been flooded by food. Foundation monitoring stations in California had observed a sudden drop in Hume levels across vast areas of the Bay Area, concentrating mostly around Chinatown in downtown San Francisco.

Investigation into the origin of the drop in Hume levels brought agents to a Taoist temple in the Chinatown area, where overwhelming large amounts of food had been delivered from surrounding restaurants. Further searching into the temple revealed activity corresponding with unstable reality levels centering around SCP-XXXX-1. The head priest of the temple willingly surrendered SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2, giving instructions that have been developed into the current containment procedures. All civilian parties were administered Class B amnestic. Reality levels were stabilized following SCP-XXXX consuming 3 metric tonnes in produce.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Affjaye

Foreword: Immediately after recovery, SCP-XXXX expressed desires to introduce itself to Foundation staff. Seeing opportunity to attain information regarding its properties, Dr. Affjaye volunteered to interview the subject. SCP-XXXX-3 was placed on a desk in an interview room.

Dr. Affjaye: Hello SCP-XXXX my na-

SCP-XXXX: Please, call me Uncle Fatso.

Dr. Affjaye: Uh…

Dr. Affjaye pauses and looks toward the observation window, to which the supervising researcher nods.

Dr. Affjaye: Uh, well Uncle Fatso, my name is Dr. Affjaye and my colleagues and I would like to know more about you.

**SCP-XXXX:" Very well, doctor. What would you like to know?

Dr. Affjaye: Firstly, how old are you?

SCP-XXXX: Well, that is a very difficult question even for me. I believe it has been at least as long as living beings have consumed cooked food. That is all I am, doctor. Food and sounds coming out of a radio.

Dr. Affjaye: I see, and what about your origin? Where did you come from?

SCP-XXXX: I was born a god, doctor. All the gods came from their human inspiration. The second living beings created the concept of cooking food then sacrificing it, I became. I suppose it is the same with all the other gods.

Dr. Affjaye: Thank you for that… On the topic of your existence, do you exist only in this reality?

SCP-XXXX: No. I have sustained several cuts to my stomach today, yet you have not had to deal with any incidents today, correct?

Dr. Affjaye: Alright then. thank you for your time, Uncle.

[BEGIN LOG]

MTF Omega-44 enters SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. SCP-XXXX-3 is humming a Chinese folk song. The team members are equipped with oxygen tanks for entrance into SCP-XXXX-2.

Boyd: Hello, SCP-XXXX, we would like to attempt an exploration of your dimension.

SCP-XXXX: Hello, and who might you be?

Boyd: I am Sgt. Boyd, these are my team members. We would like to attempt exploration of SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX: Humans are not food, Sergeant. I do not think I can let you in.

Boyd: May we at least attempt to enter?

SCP-XXXX pauses for several seconds

SCP-XXXX: He who acts with ulterior purpose does harm⁶, Sergeant. Feel free to try.

Boyd places a stick of incense in the holder and lights the candles and incense. He rings the bell until the candles extinguish. He turns to the team and signals for them to don the oxygen masks.

Boyd: Stack up!

The team members line up in single file, preparing for entry.

Boyd: Entry!

Boyd jumps onto SCP-XXXX-1, which does not yield, and shifts under his weight. Boyd falls backward into Saul, who falls into Castro, who falls into Hess.

SCP-XXXX: What did I just tell you?

March 3, 2020	Steamed bun secured to a mini drone.	Attempt unsuccessful, steamed bun was able to enter SCP-XXXX-2, but the drone was unable.	Perhaps only non-food items cannot enter if they are visible.
March 4, 2020	GPS Device inserted into steamed bun	Unsuccessful, Steamed bun is able to enter SCP-XXXX-2, however the GPS device was left behind on SCP-XXXX-1	Food items most likely are the only items able to enter SCP-XXXX-2.
March 5, 2020	Attempted entrance into SCP-XXXX-2 via an artificial opening with a GPS inserted into a steamed bun.	Unsuccessful, bun is able to enter but the GPS is not.	SCP-XXXX-3 was observed screaming in its chamber. It is advised to avoid creating any more artificial openings.

Transcript:

I have failed, Uncle.

I have failed the world

I have failed my duties as the high Daoist priest of the Chinese empire.

Today started just fine. I performed my daily prayers to the Three Pure ones and opened the grand temple for the day.

Maybe it was the guns, maybe it was their size or maybe it was even my own cowardice, but I shouldn't have gone when the soldiers came for me.

Uncle, you of all people understand that greed is what kills man. Your necessary greed is what keeps this reality together.

Perhaps you know what happened already, but this is just something I need to let out.

They made me open your stomach at the top of a mountain facing toward the Vietnamese but I opened you too far backwards and everything flooded out and went everywhere.

I couldn't bear to hear you scream as your stomach released everything and it began to flood the streets and inundate the rivers.

I could only watch from a helicopter as people drowned in food and reality began to dissolve and matter was contorted.

They tell us in school when we are young, the mighty dynasty of Chiang Kai-Shek is stronger as a monarchy than the Nguyen republic in the south or the Dictatorships in the southeastern archipelagos. But does all of that matter in the grand scheme of things.

No matter if you're a Chinese emperor, a Vietnamese president or Philippine dictator at the end of the day, everyone will still drown in the stomach contents of a reality destabilizing deity,

And its all my fault uncle. I could have just said no and they would have respected it.

I suppose that's all past now. It seems I’m the only one left. I can sense that our reality is going to fall apart at any moment now. It seems the cut has healed but I suspect the empty cavern left in your stomach will cave in soon. I'm going to leave this recording inside of your voice box. Perhaps it will find its way out of this.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained within the boundaries of Site O-A4. Site-O-A4 is a compound built around the collective neighborhood of Dormont, Pennsylvania, and is specially designed to contain only SCP-XXXX. Personnel assigned to Site O-A4 are to be subject to an intense psychological evaluation to weed out any shed of mental illness. No more than ten O5 assigned researchers are to be present within sectors twelve through twenty during testing. Researchers are able to examine the sites where instances of the entity have materialized but only via drones or robots. No staff regardless of clearance level is permitted within the containment area of SCP-XXXX as it poses too great of a threat. Any personnel who violate this are to be executed immediately.

In the event of an instance of SCP-XXXX materializing outside of its containment chamber, all researchers with level four security or higher are to be transported to a safe zone in a nearby Foundation front business, Kuhns Marketplace, which is equipped with a bunker designed for this scenario. Mobile Task Force; Wrench in the System is to then be deployed.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a man between the ages of 55 and 60 dressed in traditional hangman’s attire who materializes in a twenty-foot radius of any individual with a mental illness that it deems to be hopeless. SCP-XXXX has the ability to create a noose out of any material at its disposal, that it uses to hang those who are hopeless. As this occurs SCP-XXXX mumbles, “Your lack of hope is ruining my sleep,” in a repeated pattern until its victim parishes.

SCP-XXXX is entirely invisible to those in its presence without a prior or current mental illness diagnosis. Those who have a history of mental illness or are diagnosed with one in the presence of SCP-XXXX during this phenomenon describe trying to save the victim but never being able to physically reach them. This is a result of SCP-XXXX’s reality-bending properties. Foundation researchers are in the process of attempting to evaluate the entity as well as the nooses left behind in order to better understand it.

Recovery: The Foundation was first alerted of this being following a string of news reports of people going missing from their homes in Dormont, Pennsylvania, only to be found hanged to death with a note below their feet reading, “I wasn’t thankful for the joy in this world.” Initially, it was widely believed that the occurrences were the result of a mass suicide event until January 24th, 2016 where a family of three who had recently all been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder were found hanging from a single tree outside their home with a note on the ground reading, hope is slowly fading from the world, soon I’ll have no time to remove it all. The person who found the bodies wishes to remain anonymous. They refused Class-A amnestics.

The Foundation seized the neighborhood of Dormont and a relocation program began for residents of the area and in the surrounding suburbs. Those closest in proximity to the family’s home were given Class-A amnestics and relocated. Approval to construct Site O-A4 was granted the following week and construction began immediately.

Addendum-1: MTF Wrench in the System: Wrench in the System is a task force of bipedal robots void of a mind or AI, built to detect instances of SCP-XXXX and re-contain it. Other information regarding Wrench in the System is currently unavailable or is expunged from record by a panel of anonymous Foundation members with high clearance levels and direct connection to O5 board members one secretly obtained memo states.

Addendum-2: Addendum-2: SCP-XXXX has a cult following among a sect of Paganism known only as The Night. Their ideology centralizes around an account that states that SCP-XXXX, known to them as He Who Hangs the Hopeless, was God before the theoretical Christian God, and that SCP-XXXX was cast to hell before the creation of humanity. Fearing it would never witness humanity’s creation, SCP-XXXX dug its way out of hell with a gold shovel. To its followers the gold shovel represents hope. There is little knowledge of this cult’s behavior or beliefs. An active project spearheaded by Dr. Markel (Site O-A4 lead researcher) is investigating the cult and how it operates in regards to SCP-XXXX.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a three acre area within Site 42, With access to a freshwater lake. Currently, adding non-anomalous Goose subjects into the enclosure is being discussed. Water bowl must be refilled by hand every 5-6 hours. the grass inside the enclosure must be mowed and turned into straw. This may only be done when SCP-XXXX is either not in the enclosure, or when it is being handled by Dr. Theron Sherman. Currently, SCP-XXXX has only interacted well with Dr. Sherman, however this behavior only began after incident XQCFGD-02/22/2021.

Description: SCP-XXXX Is a Goose of normal height and build, with black splotches around the beak and eyes and a collar around it's neck, with a nametag stating "Mozzarella". If the object ever has the collar removed, it will demanifest and re-manifest roughly three meters away. Should the entity feel threatened, it will demanifest, and will re-manifest roughly 10 to 20 minutes later, about 15 to 25 meters away. Objects it has so far felt threatened by are: Buckets, Oddly shaped clouds, Cars, Mozzarella sticks, Dr. [redacted], Agent [Redacted], and bugs.

Incident log XQCFGD-02/22/2021
Date: 02/22/2021
Incident begins with the entity demanifesting, then not reappearing within its normal 20 minute interval. A lockdown was put into place. However, after over 16 hours of lockdown, SCP-XXXX had not reappeared, leading to the end of said lockdown. Upon returning to his office, Senior researcher Dr. Theron Sherman found the entity sleeping under his desk. Upon Sherman's entry into the office, SCP-XXXX awoke and began to tear up the office. After roughly 25 minutes, the entity began to calm down. Sherman then called in STF-Zeta-30, AKA "Duck Hunt", to lure the entity back to it's containment cell.

Objects missing from the office:
Three bags of chips
fifteen pencils
the original file on SCP-XXXX
A pot of coffee
three pictures of SCP-XXXX in the wild

Due to the nature of the objects that went missing due to the incident, it is believed that the entity has at least partial sentience. Research into this was led by Dr. Sherman.

DATE: 03/07/2021

NOTE: Shows research pertaining to SCP-XXXX's sentience levels. Study begins with D-143XBY. 143 has been convicted with federal tax evasion, and was previously a tattoo artist.

---

[BEGIN LOG]

0:14: D class personnel, D-143XBY, enters the enclosure. SCP-XXXX is awake and swimming in the lake

0:20 The entity notices the D class, and begins swimming towards it, honking loudly. Entity then demanifests.

0:22 D-143XBY: "Where the fuck did that thing go? The hell did y'all drug me with?"

5:32 Entity remanifests next to XBY, and begins honking and attacking him.

5:38 D-class runs away from SCP-XXXX and begins banging on the containment door, demanding that he is taken away from "This damned demon duck with anger issues."

5:39 Upon hearing XBY, SCP-XXXX becomes enraged and begins attacking without remorse. the entity first attacks XBY's groin, then his eyes. The sound of a loud car is played to get XXXX to demanifest, and XBY is pulled out of the cell.

DATE: 03/09/2021

NOTE: Again using D class personnel D-143XBY. This time, the D-class is sent in with a piece of paper covered in images and drawing of: cars, bugs, and food. He is also sent in with a stack of 65 blank sheets of paper, to draw anything he sees fit. D-143XBY also has a pencil, should he want to draw something. The purpose of this test is to see how XXXX will react to images.

---

[BEGIN LOG]

0:02 D-143XBY enters XXXX's cell, staying to the edges. When he deems that he is in the right location, he sits down, cross legged.

0:04 Dr. Sherman: "143XBY, what are you doing? You were instructed to make contact and interact with the entity."
D-143XBY: "Doc, it's a wild animal. I'm in it's home. It needs to see that I'm not a threat in order to get anything done. So I'm gonna sit here until it decides to come check me out."
Dr. Sherman: "… I'll allow it."

1:52 D-143XBY pulls blank pieces of paper out of the pile and begins to draw SCP-XXXX

2:56 D-143XBY finishes a rough sketch of SCP-XXXX, and sets the drawing next to him. He pulls a new blank sheet of paper, and begins drawing the enclosure.

7:16 D-143XBY finishes his sketch of the enclosure, and begins drawing a wooded area with a pond.

13:56 SCP-XXXX notices 143XBY and begins moving towards him, honking aggresively.

15:02 SCP-XXXX sees the drawings surrounding D-143XBY and stops moving. The entity looks at them, moving one by one until he reaches D-143XBY.

15:04 The entity pecks 143XBY's hand, causing him to drop the pencil. XXXX then picks up the pencil in his beak, along with the drawing of himself. The entity then runs towards the lake, stopping at the edge. XXXX spends the next two minutes and 12 seconds looking back and forth between it's own reflection, and the drawing.

17:16 SCP-XXXX Picks up the pencil, and shakily writes, "Me???" The entity then waddles back over to 143XBY, and put the drawing with the writing on his lap.

18:02 D-143XBY: "Uh… Yeah? That… that is a drawing of you." (Under his breath, but still able to be picked up by the mic) "I swear to god, I've gotta be high or some shit."
Dr. Sherman, to D-143XBY: "Show the entity the paper with the pictures on it."
Upon being shown the negative images, XXXX began to panic. When D-143XBY flipped the paper over, XXXX began visibly calming down.
19:07 Dr. Sherman: "D-143XBY, please ask XXXX how old it is."
D-143XBY: "XXXX, how old are you?"
In response, XXXX picked up it's pencil and wrote "Who XXXX? I Mozzarella. Have name-collar."

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a humanoid containment cell. The walls and furnishings of the cell are to be engineered from materials which are difficult to manipulate via alchemical means, the full specifications of which are outlined by the Department of Alchemy in Document XXXX.3A. SCP-XXXX is to be provided with three meals per day and pain medication as needed, composed only of ingredients approved in Document XXXX.3B, and is permitted to use the Site's exercise yard under the supervision of security personnel.

Amenities such as reading material may be provided on condition of good behaviour and cooperation with Operation Stregheria, at the discretion of senior staff members the Site Director.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a Caucasian male, approximately 40 years of age, answering to the name of John Moore. Subject has extensive practical knowledge of alchemy, but is currently incapable of using this knowledge to perform alchemical workings successfully.

This is a result of a set of complex thaumaturgical wards, which have been branded into the right forearm of SCP-XXXX. When SCP-XXXX contemplates the process of performing an alchemical working, or attempts to do so, the wards cause the subject to experience debilitating physical pain and nausea, preventing them from employing its alchemical knowledge⁷. The nature of the wards also prevents the skin surrounding them from fully healing, which SCP-XXXX reports is a cause of chronic pain.

Despite this, it is the unanimous recommendation of research staff that SCP-XXXX be considered a potential threat, due to the extent of its knowledge of alchemy. This risk factor is further exacerbated by its prior involvement with GoI-8256 ("KGS Gerstmann AG"), a conglomerate linked to the production and trafficking of anomalous alchemical weaponry, primarily across Europe.

Addendum XXXX.1: Discovery

+ Access Data

On 15/08/2017, MTF Delta-19 ("My Alchemical Romance") conducted a raid on a warehouse in Ukraine owned by a front company of GoI-8256. MTF Delta-19 had received intelligence that the warehouse, apart from containing anomalous weaponry, was also an informal meeting site for members of GoI-8256.

Entering the warehouse from a back entrance, operatives discovered a meeting of GoI-8256 members in progress. This meeting served as a "trial" of SCP-XXXX (already incapacitated with thaumaturgical brands) for supposedly betraying GoI-8256. Attendees of the "trial" discovered the presence of the operatives, leading to a firefight in which the warehouse was almost completely destroyed, with significant casualties on both sides.

SCP-XXXX was discovered in the vicinity of the warehouse, having attempted to flee despite being severely injured during the firefight, and was transported to Site-881. The subject's mental state was unstable and depressed as a result of learning that it could no longer perform alchemy, and made two attempts at breaching containment. Research staff advised that psychiatric treatment be provided following the second escape attempt. Site psychiatrists report that, by February of 2019, SCP-XXXX has responded surprisingly well to treatment.

Addendum XXXX.2: Operation Stregheria

+ Access Data

In September 2019, the Foundation officially declared GoI-8256 an urgent threat to its operations in Europe. This was on the basis of its rapidly growing reach, as well as its sale of anomalous weaponry to non-anomalous criminal organizations, and their subsequent use in armed conflicts which repeatedly threatened civilian populations and the maintenance of the Veil.

On 22/10/2019, Site Director David Cornwell received approval to attempt negotiations with SCP-XXXX, in order to acquire intelligence regarding GoI-8256. Within a week, Site Director Cornwell had finalized a quid pro quo with SCP-XXXX. In exchange for this information, it would be rewarded with luxuries such as a containment cell with facilities for cooking (under the supervision of armed guards).

As part of this quid pro quo, which Site Director Cornwell titled Operation Stregheria, SCP-XXXX provided the location of a major arms production facility in the vicinity of the Black Sea, a claim corroborated by further Foundation surveillance. On 14/01/2020, a raid on the facility was completed successfully and with no casualties, significantly disrupting GoI-8256's supply chains in the region. Site Director Cornwell subsequently requested, and was granted, sole discretion over amendments to the containment procedures of SCP-XXXX, in order to further the goals of Operation Stregheria.

Director,

I've been concerned about SCP-XXXX for quite some time. To be sure, the threat posed by KGS Gerstmann is a significant one, and Operation Stregheria has been successful in combatting it. However, my belief is that we're overlooking something vital by taking what SCP-XXXX gives us at face value.

Firstly, topicality is always suspect. The Foundation was getting hamstrung by KGS Gertsmann's arms sales in the Black Sea region: surely there's something odd about the fact that SCP-XXXX provided, unprompted, information that helped us resolve said threat. Its success rate is just too high: every time it opens its mouth, it gives us exactly what we need.

More importantly, in your 26/07/2020 interview with SCP-XXXX, the anomaly identified sixteen members of the Hand it claimed to be arms dealers for KGS Gerstmann, all of whom you neutralized under the auspices of Operation Stregheria.

However, the only evidence for the idea that those Hand members were threats is what SCP-XXXX said. According to our surveillance, seven of them were avowed anti-capitalists and anarchists who'd rather die than work with a firm like KGS Gerstmann. And all were important members of local Hand chapters, with extensive knowledge of alchemy.

This is what I fear is happening: "John Moore", far from being a traitor against KGS Gerstmann, is still working for them. He baited the hook with good information at first, knowing how desperate we were for any leads against his old employers. But, now that we trust him, he's free to feed us false information—or even turn our guns against people, like the Hand members you killed, who were potential dangers to KGS Gerstmann. And instead of being contained as he should, "Moore" is sitting pretty in a cell that's more comfortable than my flat, cooking boeuf bourguignon.

I know that Stregheria is your proudest achievement, and that I'm no expert on espionage. But if I'm right, it might be papering over a massive breach in our security. I hope you'll find it in yourself to listen.

Liebig,

You're damn right you're not an espionage expert. No, you're an assistant researcher who's going against the chain of command and interfering in a field you know nothing of. The information that SCP-XXXX provides is almost solely responsible for diminishing the threat of GoI-8256, and I will not throw that away because you've got the deaths of some Hand members on your conscience. Be thankful I haven't written you up for an official censure; for now, I'll let Stefanchuk decide how to deal with your insubordination.

Alison,

I know this is a huge breach of the chain of command and all that, but I am begging you to take a look at this. There's something off about SCP-XXXX, but I don't know a shred about alchemy, so I can't pin it down. Enclosed are all the files I thought might be relevant, everything down to the amenities that SCP-XXXX requested in its cell. Remember, you still owe me for what happened in Croatia. Please do see what you can do.

I have a lead. I wish I didn't, because if we're right, we're looking at a catastrophe.

Alchemy is all based around combining different substances and mystically manipulating them to become something else: a shard of iron can be made into a bomb, water and honey into a poison, and so on. An old grimoire by the Earl of Northumberland provides a recipe for what he calls "Copper Mites": they're essentially alchemical nanomachines, minuscule scraps of metal which can be manipulated to move through the air and collect information.

The ingredients to make them are salts of wine (an alchemical compound that any novice can derive from red wine with a certain mineral content) and copper. The only hitch is that they require an unbelievable degree of focus to produce; the Earl writes that only the mystics of "Alagath" (likely meaning Alagadda) can manipulate matter finely enough to use the recipe in practice.

The location of SCP-6000.

Item #: SCP-6000

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6000 is contained at its location of discovery. Undercover Foundation personnel, in cooperation with Death Valley National Park rangers, are to maintain a containment zone of 500 m around its base. No personnel are permitted to come into direct skin contact with the surface of SCP-6000. Individuals who have come into skin contact with its surface are to be detained for evaluation by research staff and provided with amnestic treatment.
The inherent antimemetic properties of SCP-6000, which extend to photography and video depicting it, render it imperceptible except to those who have been administered appropriate mnestic treatment. As such, mnestics are to be supplied to containment and research personnel at the discretion of the Antimemetics Division. Foundation information security assets are to monitor web traffic for online discussions potentially describing SCP-6000; a web crawler bot capable of identifying photos and videos depicting SCP-6000 is currently being trialled.

Description: SCP-6000 is a monolith composed of a single piece of black basalt, measuring approximately 50x50x150 m, located in the badlands east of Death Valley National Park, within walking distance of the Amargosa Range. It is anomalously durable, exhibiting no evidence of weathering. SCP-6000 possesses antimemetic properties which render it imperceptible to the senses and inhibit the forming of memories relating to SCP-6000, except to those treated with Class-W mnestics. All surfaces of the monolith are carved with detailed, highly stylized reliefs of plant life, except a circular panel on its westwards face. This panel contains a concentric pattern of hieroglyphs or symbols, which can be depressed.
Direct skin exposure to the surface of SCP-6000, with the exception of the aforementioned circular area, causes a comatose state lasting between one to twelve hours. During this state, all subjects report highly vivid hallucinations, which they will recall with an unusual degree of clarity, and require intensive amnestic treatment to eradicate fully.

Addendum 6000.1: Discovery
SCP-6000 was discovered in June of 1971 by Raoul Acosta, an amateur occultist involved in the 1960s counterculture movement, during an experiment with psychedelic compounds (later discovered to have moderate mnestic properties) in the Death Valley region. Following this, Acosta rented a motel room in Baker, a town within driving distance of Death Valley, conducting research into its properties until his suicide in November of 1971. His journals, documenting his research in detail, were acquired by the Foundation.

Addendum 6000.2: Excerpts From Recovered Journals

6/30
current formula consists 20mg DMT, 100mg harmaline, 20mg oil of moksha—I can see the tower for ~3 hours, w/ the moksha regulating the hallucinations from the ayahuasca itself. Wouldn't want hallucinations getting in the way of examining the invisible ancient stone tower. Eat your heart out, Timothy Leary.
reminder: get a fan that works+call Weisinger⁸ when in town next, get him to send a care package of moksha oil. I may be here a while.

7/2
the tower does NOT cause hallucinations: they're not some pointless pattern of psychedelia, but clear, specific, vivid. Current theory: each vision is a memory, collected from some mind at some random point in time.

Weisinger got me the book from the Library—it says similar pillars, cities of them, exist across the world, remnants of the "Oblitus". The last memorials of an ancient civilization wiped out by its own weapons⁹. I remember the line from Shelley, "look on my works ye mighty…"
the west circular panel has to be a control mechanism; the symbols are buttons. System for retrieving the stored data. Somewhere in there, amongst all the random memories, is something of VALUE.

7/16
the letter says Bunny Hopkins and his platoon got ambushed, 6 killed. I remember when the poor bastard got shipped out, he was practically sobbing, wiping those big coke bottle glasses of his, saying it must've been a mistake he got drafted, the letter must've been for someone else.
we go on about peace and love but where does that get us? Kent State, just more blood spilled and more blame laid on us. The shouting, picketing, sit-ins, WHERE does that get us? Where did all that sobbing and running get Bunny? Vietnam ate him alive, with no body to bury, glasses sunk in the jungle muck.
all that about man being loving? Our nature—to kill, to pick up the broken jawbone and crush the skull of the rival ape.

the Oblitus had it right. weapons of the mind, spreading as a killing idea.
is that what the tower holds? the weapon that killed them, or something like that, hidden within it? it may take years to brute-force it, sifting through however much information is in there, but I don't have anything better to do. My friend is dead, the planet's dying, and I have nothing to do.

I've seen a dozen civilizations die. Did you know that the world bloomed all over with flowers every time it happened? Colors like I'd never seen, and the air thick with sweetness. There were beautiful memories—I remember one where I think I was a father, holding my son as we watched an eclipse, and a hush growing as the sun went dark. But the ones I remember the most were the wars. In the trenches of the Somme, I hummed a lullaby as a friend held my hand and the morphine took away the pain, and at Mylae I buried the Roman dead, because even though I was a friend of Carthage, they deserved to return to their ancestors.
there is no weapon.
the tower is a repository of memory, without distinction or discrimination. I am sure that if I waited long enough, I'd come across every memory I ever had, preserved like a fly in amber. I have died a thousand times in a thousand wars, and received just as many gifts of compassion.

I've been thinking about Bunny again. All of those Romans and Greeks he used to read and talk about. There was one book, De Rerum Natura, On The Nature Of Things, that he gave me before shipping out. I dug it out of the suitcase and began reading. The author says that death is like a vessel shattering, its contents falling everywhere. The dead don't suffer, because they're gone, scattered in the deepest of sleeps. It's a good idea. I hope it's true, that Bunny's just asleep now.
All those memories are weighing on me. I'm barely ninety pounds, haven't slept in days because when I do, all I see are the memories. Or dreaming of Bunny, gunned down or bleeding in a trap. I might take a walk tomorrow morning. Because I know that if I keep going on, I'll go mad.
Yesterday I found a plaque, buried in the sand—it must have been attached to the tower at some point. I transcribed its inscription, and I think what it says makes a lot of sense.

Addendum 6000.3
On the 11th of November, park rangers discovered Raoul Acosta on a plateau near Zabriskie Point, having committed suicide by gunshot. He carried a note in his pocket, believed to be the inscription of the aforementioned plaque, which has been transcribed below. A metal plaque was recorded amongst the possessions in Acosta's motel room by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, but its location is currently unknown.

Forgetting is a necessity. The scientist who experiments on a laboratory mouse must forget that it lives or suffers. The soldier who must kill, first kills the humanity of their foe. The tyrant, building an empire, must forget that joy or compassion exists, and tell themselves that the suffering of those under their care is just another obstacle.
The Oblitus knew this. That is why this tower exists, built to remember their culture even as they died. It precedes us, and we are the heirs to its purpose.
We may die in the darkness, shattering into lifeless atoms, and this may be rationalized as being for the greater good, or as punishment, or as a reward. Human nature is a strange thing. We teach ourselves that man is but a monster, to be disciplined and caged, and build great things from this foundation. But this foundation is a lie, or at least is not the whole truth.
That there is more than one side to man will seem like a monstrous abnormality to those used to seeing the nature of things in a simpler way. That is the abnormality we protect. Our duty: to memorialize, not only your crimes, but the true nature of man, at any cost.

We will remember you.
