CAPTION-GOES-HERE

Special Containment Procedures: The [APARTMENT NAME] complex is to remain quarantined under the cover story that the building is an active public health hazard. All entrances to the complex are to be inspected weekly to ensure all barricades and locks are still in working order. If SCP-XXXX experiences a civilian intrusion, subjects will be detained and interrogated to identify potential links to GoIs, and amnesticized and released if no links can be found.

As of 10/05/2027, any further testing involving SCP-XXXX requires prior authorization from both the Ethics Committee and the Site Director. In the event that further testing is authorized, research teams must work off-site to prevent transfers of research materials from activating SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects.

If any D-Class apparel or standard Foundation medium-term exploration gear is found during any experimentation, all experiments are to be halted and Dr. [EXPUNGED] is to be contacted immediately.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the [APARTMENT NAME] complex, located in [REDACTED]. SCP-XXXX has selective reality-bending properties, where its structure and composition will become radically distorted to some observers while remaining unchanged to all others. According to experimental data (See Experiment Logs SCP-XXXX), SCP-XXXX’s reality bending effect specifically causes subjects entering the complex with the intent to deliver an object, idea, or service to a resident to be unable to find the residence they are attempting to deliver to. In other words, SCP-XXXX actively changes its layout to any deliverer so as to make their delivery impossible.

During testing, SCP-XXXX has demonstrated the following means to alter its configuration to an observer:
- Illogical/Non-sequential building layouts
- Misleading/Incomprehensible/Inconsistent signage
- Apartment numbers out of order/deliberately skipping numbers
- Extended hallways/staircases
- Fractional apartment numbers
- Escherian looping architecture
- Reality fractallisation and reduction
- [DATA EXPUNGED]

Despite the severity of some of these effects, all distortions appear to be localized entirely to the subject and have no effect on the baseline reality experienced by other residents of the complex.

While the pathway a subject may take towards their attempted destination may lead through extended segments of esoteric and non-euclidian architecture, it has been found in all nearly all cases that subjects choosing to abandon their delivery and leave the complex were able to do so relatively unimpeded.

Discovery: Foundation officials were alerted to the presence of a potential anomaly when automated scraper systems detected abnormal complaint rates from both residents of [APARTMENT NAME] and drivers for various delivery services, both annoyed with the inability of delivery services to complete assignments to the complex. Due to descriptions of potential anomalous phenomena being detected in some of the drivers' complaints (such as infinite hallways and maps changing between viewings), Foundation researchers were dispatched to conduct an initial investigation. After brief clandestine testing, Foundation researchers declared the site anomalous and initiated a takeover under “Black Mold” standard cover story.

Once the complex was vacated, further experimentation ensued to assist in understanding the constraints and parameters of the anomaly. Summarized logs of these experiments are included under Experiment Logs SCP-XXXX.

Experiment Logs SCP-XXXX:

+ Template for Experiments

Purpose: The goal of the experiment.

Procedure: The description of the experimental procedure, including personnel and equipment necessary.

Results: A detailed synopsis of the actual experiment.

Analysis: An assessment of the results of the experiment and resultant findings, as well as suggestions of future avenues of experimentation.

+ Experiment 1

Purpose: To establish the presence/absence and severity of an anomaly at [APARTMENT NAME]

Note: This experiment was conducted after Foundation discovery of the excessive complaints about deliveries to [APARTMENT NAME] to ascertain whether the site was anomalous and, if so, the potential severity of the anomaly.

Procedure: One Junior Researcher will attempt to deliver a parcel containing one red brick to Apartment 1111¹

Results: Junior Researcher [REDACTED] located a map of the complex and reported to find Apt 1111 clearly marked within Building 11 in the Northwest section of the complex. Upon arrival at the indicated location of Building 11, [REDACTED] realized that this building was instead labeled "Building 10" and contained apartments 1000-1048. After no map could be found nearby, Researcher [REDACTED] searched for some time before locating a building labeled "Building 11". Entering the closest entrance, Researcher [REDACTED] was met with a nondescript hallway with apartment entrances staggered between both sides. At first, [REDACTED] experienced no anomalous phenomena within the hall, but upon passing Apt 1105 they realized each apartment was set further apart than the one before it. After noting a ████m distance between apartments 1108 and 1109, Researcher [REDACTED] was instructed to exit the complex, which they were able to accomplish by following their original path. During the return, [REDACTED] noted the same irregular intervals between apartments. Upon arriving back at the map they had originally consulted, they saw the map now indicated with an arrow that Apt 1111 was somewhere out of range of the map.

Due to the events described above, Foundation researchers declared the site anomalous and began the process of acquiring the site under the cover story it was infested with a pervasive black mold that presented an immediate health hazard to all residents and could not be cleaned without total vacancy.

Analysis: This experiment gives us plenty of ground for further testing, in particular regarding the anomaly's effect on the surrounding residents during one of these manifestations. Interestingly, the anomaly seems to not have a preference for whether there actually is a "recipient" for the delivery. This could prove handy for some long term testing, if this place ends up warranting it.

+ Experiment 2

Note: Due to the complex being under Foundation control, this experiment onwards used D-Class personnel as the "deliverer".

Purpose: To ascertain the effect of reality distortions experienced by a deliverer on surrounding individuals

Procedure: One D-Class personnel will attempt to deliver a parcel containing one red brick to Apartment 1234². Junior and Senior researchers will be stationed within all apartments in buildings 11 through 13³ and attempt to visually monitor the D-Class personnel's progress through windows, peepholes, and direct observation, as necessary.

Results: The D-Class consults the main map at the front of the complex and informs researchers that Apartment 1234 is not located on the map. After consulting visual feed from the D-Class' body camera, researchers confirm that no apartment within the range of 1200-1299 exists anywhere on the map. However, a label in the upper edge of the map indicates a "Building 12" somewhere outside the range of the map. The D-Class advances towards this indicated area, and researchers in Buildings 11 and 13 indicate being able to visually observe the D-Class at expected times according to his reported location.

Upon reaching the area indicated by the map label as "Building 12", the D-Class reports a large building with a similar external style to the other apartment buildings that extends virtually infinitely to both sides, despite official blueprints indicating Building 12 should be a similar size to the other buildings in the complex. Finding a doorway, the D-class enters and encounters a hallway, and signage indicates that the building contains apartments 1200-12███.

As the D-Class advances, Foundation researchers within the first range of apartments report witnessing them pass at regular intervals, as expected. However, after Apartment 1221, they encounter a junction with signage indicating apartments 1222-1234 in one direction and 1235-12███ in the other. After brief deliberation, researchers instructed the D-Class to continue towards the destination of 1234, and they complied. Researchers within apartments 1224 began to notice the D-Class taking longer to reach each of their rooms, culminating in a ███ minute delay between the D-Class passing apartments 1230 and 1231.

After more deliberation and consideration that previous experimental results indicated the D-Class was very likely still recoverable at this point, researchers decided to abort the attempt to deliver the parcel in order to avoid a possible ethics violation. They directed the D-Class to advance back towards the entrance of the complex and to advance down the alternate path towards 1235-12███. During this retreat, the researchers in apartments 1231-1222 noted similar delays between witnessing the D-Class as their initial progression down the hallway.

Upon passing 1222, the D-Class began following the alternate hallway towards 1235, and was instructed to advance until they passed Apartment 1268 and report their observations⁴. Researchers in each apartment from 1235-1268 noted typical delays between witnessing the D-Class passing by. Upon reaching Apartment 1268, the D-Class found the hallway kept extending indefinitely, with Apartments 1269 and onward being visible upon initial inspection. The researcher in Apartment 1268 was then instructed to open their door and relay their observations. Upon exiting their apartment, the researcher was able to see the D-Class in front of them in the hallway; However, no deviations from the original blueprints could be recorded from the researcher's perspective, including additional apartments from 1269 onward. Additionally, when the D-Class advanced further in the hallway, the researcher indicated the D-Class visually appeared to walk directly through the wall, and could no longer be heard. After this brief experimentation, the main research team decided to conclude this line of testing and instructed the D-Class to exit the complex, which they were able to accomplish without issue or deviation from their original path.

Analysis: There's a lot to unpack about how this site distorts space. This test seems to indicate that the site actually maintains as much parity with baseline reality as possible, as if the subject is still experiencing baseline reality alongside the anomalous distortions. The most interesting result is that the site seems able to manifest entirely new structures outside of euclidean space. While it doesn't seem like subjects are being teleported somewhere else, the anomaly is still somehow presenting them with entirely extradimensional spaces which don't seem to affect anyone else. Further testing is certainly needed on this.

+ Experiment 3

Purpose: To ascertain what can satisfy the definition of "delivery" as it pertains to this anomaly, and ascertain the affects of the anomaly on multiple subjects.

Procedure: Two D-Class personnel will be given non-physical deliveries to Apartments 2222 and 3333, respectively. The first D-Class (D-4782) will be given information pertinent yet unknown to a researcher stationed in Apt 2222 and instructed to deliver this news to the researcher, while the second D-Class (D-8237) will be trained in basic plumbing maintenance and instructed to repair a toilet in Apt 3333, thus delivering a service to the apartment. If anomalous distortions manifest to both individuals, they are to meet after exploring their own anomalous effects to see the ways their effects correlate and differ.

Results: Note: For simplicity's sake, the events of both D-4782 and D-8237's attempted deliveries are relayed independently, despite both experiments occurring simultaneously.

D-4782 entered the complex first, finding Apartment 2222 indicated within Building 22 on the Northeast portion of the map. Advancing towards this location, they found multiple instances of fencing not indicated by the map. Upon arriving at the building, they found only one entrance, despite eight being clearly indicated on the blueprints for the complex. This entrance led into a small courtyard, with a set of stairs leading downwards into a metal door labeled "Building 22". Upon opening the doorway, D-4782 was greeted with more stairs leading down into a four-way intersection.

Within the intersection, D-4782 reported signage indicating the 3 pathways led to "2200-2210, 2211-2238, 2239—2216⁵", and they were instructed to progress through the middle hallway. As with previous tests, as the subject approached 2222, they found the distance between apartments increase, but unlike previous tests, a right angle turn was encountered after apartment 2217. After passing this turn, D-4782 reported that the hallway then forked vertically, with nearby signage indicating "2218-2238 above, 2250-2217 below". After some deliberation, researchers decided to attempt the "above" pathway first, and D-4782 was able to climb into and begin exploring this segment of the structure.

Apartments 2218 through 2221 were encountered only a few meters apart as expected, but D-4782 reported that the apartment directly after 2221 was labeled 2223, with no indication of 2222 being anywhere nearby. Deciding to attempt the other path instead, D-4782 advanced back to the vertical fork in the structure and took the "below" path, again finding that apartment 2222 was omitted in sequence despite all other apartments on the signage existing where indicated. D-4782 then proceeded further down this path towards Apt 2217, after which they reported that they had inexplicably returned to the original four way intersection, entering through what would have been the "left" path on their initial entry into the building. The researcher stationed within Apt 2222 was instructed to step out and report their immediate surroundings. As in Experiment 2, the researcher reported no deviations from the original blueprints of [APARTMENT NAME]. Due to their proximity to the building's exit, as well as the experiment already yielding useful data, D-4782 was ordered to proceed back up the stairs in the intersection and wait at the outer entrance of the courtyard for D-8237.

Concurrently with D-4782's exploration, D-8237 had identified Apartment 3333 within Building 33 on the complex map, and began advancing towards its position. Upon reaching the indicated location, they reported that the building was indeed marked 33, but signage indicated that Apartment 3333 was not within. A brief survey indicated that the signage was indeed correct, and D-8237 was then advised to check within the nearby area for another map, finding one a few meters away. On this map, Apartment 3333 was indicated to be within Building 50, a further 310m North of D-8237's current location. D-8237 then advanced to this location, only to again find that the building's signage did not indicate an Apartment 3333 was within. They were then instructed to return to the map they had recently consulted to verify the location of Apartment 3333.

After making their way back to the map, D-8237 informed the research team that Apartment 3333 was now shown to be within Building 10, on the Eastern side of the complex, and was instructed to advance there to confirm if the anomalous misdirection occurred again. As expected, when they reached Building 10, no Apartment 3333 could be found. A nearby map indicated Apartment 3333 within Building 22⁶, and researchers decided that they would proceed with the second phase of the experiment involving the two D-Class meeting for simultaneous observation of the site. D-8237 then advanced to the location indicated as Building 22, and reported that they also observed the building as a courtyard with a metal door recessed into the ground as the entrance, as well as observing D-4782 standing nearby.

At this point, researchers instructed both D-Class personnel to enter Building 22 again, keeping together until signage indicated that their delivery destinations were in separate directions. Upon descending the entrance stairwell, D-4782 reported that the intersection at the bottom was now merely a fork, and nearby signage indicated that the paths led to apartments 2222 and 3333 on one side, with the other path simply labeled "All others". Proceeding down the path with the desired delivery destinations, D-4782 and D-8237 both reported no apartments being present for a distance of ████m before arriving at another fork, this time with Apt 2222 and Apt 3333 on opposing sides of the fork. Researchers authorized the duo to split up and take the paths to their respective delivery destinations, , advising them to continue regularly reporting in after their split.

About 200m down their respective tunnels, both D-Class personnel reported seeing another person in the distance ahead. After being advised to take precaution but continue advancing, D-4782 realized they were actually seeing D-8237 walking towards them, and D-8237 soon after confirmed the same finding in reverse. The researchers then advised the duo to walk back towards their respective entrances again, and after a brief interval the D-Class met up again at the original fork. They were then advised to both attempt to navigate the path to Apt 2222 without splitting. After ████m with no discernible markings on the walls of the hallway, the researchers decided to end the experiment and recall D-4782 and D-8237. Despite walking a considerable distance, both D-Class found their way back and were able to exit the structure safely after some time. During the return trip, both D-Class were instructed to revisit a map consulted earlier by D-8237 and to identify any changes which occurred, including noted locations of Apts 2222 and 3333.

Upon checking the closest map, both D-4782 and D-8237 confirmed that, while the shapes of each apartment building seemed to match the known blueprints of [APARTMENT NAME], no apartment numbers were filled in, with a small legend in the corner indicating that Apts 2222 and 3333 would be labeled with question marks.

Analysis: I think we're starting to narrow down the parameters of this site. Beyond just establishing that the effect can manifest when an idea or a service is "delivered", we've established here that the reality distortions are independent of observer. Somewhere, somehow, these phenomena are physically happening, yet external observers will never be any the wiser. We have a couple of theories on how an anomaly could somehow manifest in this way, but even the most conservative involve fairly radical applications of currently understood anomalous activity.

This effect is certainly interesting to study, but I can't shake the feeling we're missing something major. There's obviously a pretty powerful anomalous effect at play here, considering we're seeing major non-Euclidean architectural distortions are possible that appear able to maintain stability between two subjects a considerable distance apart, but also mesh perfectly within consensus reality for everyone else. But the most unsettling thing is how tame it's been so far when we decide to pack up and leave. I mean, with anomalies like this, you never get to just pack up and go. They always exhibit some kind of unstable, chaotic behavior that makes retracing your steps damn near impossible. But this one seems almost deliberate, in that once you aren't trying to progress towards the delivery anymore, the effect doesn't seem to progress any further.

The main way forward seems obvious to me. Now that we seem to understand the parameters of what can trigger the anomaly and the extent to which it can affect baseline reality, further research should focus primarily on the extent to which the anomaly is capable of affecting the subject's reality.

We'll try the requisite robot experiment within the week, but sooner or later, we need to establish just how deep this anomaly will go.

+ Experiment 4

Purpose: To establish whether SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects manifest when the "deliverer" is a non-organic subject.

Procedure: One standard Foundation remote quadruped will be deployed with a parcel containing one red brick in its cargo hold. The drone will then attempt to release the parcel at Apartment 1000.

Results: The quadruped was released without issue and immediately directed to a complex map for consultation and comparison to existing blueprints. After taking a few minutes to inspect the map, researchers determined that it exactly matched the blueprints as constructed obtained from the City of █████████, including the location of Apartment 1000 within Building 10 in the Eastern side of the complex.

Researchers then advanced the quadruped to the location indicated on the map, and discovered an apartment building similar to the others witnessed in the complex, labeled "Building 10", as expected. External signage indicated that Apt 1000 was within the structure, and after entering the building, the quadruped was soon able to locate Apt 1000 and deliver its package. The remote quadruped was then guided back out of the complex without issue.

Analysis: Well, well. After so many experimental questions answered affirmatively, it's refreshing to finally chuck something at the wall and have it not stick. The problem with anomalous testing repeatedly going right is that it never ends. If your anomaly can manifest on land, now you have to determine if it can manifest underwater. If it can manifest underwater, now you have to determine whether it can manifest while submerged in other liquids. Every time you prove what an anomaly can do, you then have to go one step further and define what it can't.

Now that we've established this anomaly can't be tested autonomously in any way, we can divert our focus towards the one parameter we've identified that can still be tested.

Next time, it won't be a quad making that delivery.

Experiment 5

Purpose: To ascertain the absolute limits of SCP-XXXX's reality bending effects.

Procedure: One D-Class Personnel will be given the following list of supplies before attempting to deliver a parcel containing one red brick to Apartment 4444:
-One (1) Standard-Issue Foundation internal frame hiking backpack, filled with various items on the proceeding list.
-Standard Foundation MRE rations amounting to 14 days worth of food for an average adult.
-Two (2) copies of the City of █████████ blueprints of the [APARTMENT NAME] complex, as built.
-One (1) ARTV (Anomalous Research and Testing Vehicle) outfitted with a 175 Mile range battery and anti-flat tires.
-Two (2) 175 Mile range batteries for the ARTV
-Two (2) Standard-Issue Foundation GPS units, pre-calibrated independently by 2 Senior IT staff.
-Three (2) 200 Hour battery packs, with standard connectors for low-draw Foundation electronics equipment.
-Two (2) Foundation battery pack recharging units
-One (1) 15 gallon water vessel, fitted to the ARTV and configured to dispense up to 1 gallon per 24 hours
-Two (2) Standard-Issue Foundation Exploration Cameras (Including high-durability enclosures)
-Two (2) Standard-Issue Foundation Exploration Remote Data Transmitters
-One (1) Foundation Exploration Camera body mounting kit, with transmitter accessory kit

The D-Class will be instructed to attempt to make the delivery at all costs; To this end, they will be informed at the start of the experiment that success will result in the commutation of their sentence and relocation within the Foundation's standard retirement program for Level 3 and above researchers.

During the course of this experiment, Foundation researchers will be stationed in every apartment within the complex, both to externally observe any distortions recorded on the D-Class' monitoring equipment, as well as to provide external resources such as food or water as long as the D-Class is able to access their units. To this end, each researcher is to be provided with 21 days worth of Foundation rations and 42 gallons of water, in addition to their standard equipment for long-term study and residence.

NOTE: In accordance with Foundation Investigative Policy Sec 8.11.18 Order 47, the transcript of audiovisual data from Experiment SCP-XXXX-5 includes all portions that can be considered remotely relevant to the ongoing Ethics Committee investigation. However, for readability, extended sections of inactivity, such as [DCLASS5 NAME] sleeping or advancing through an extended hallway, have been omitted in this log. A complete transcript as well as the actual video records are available to any Level 4 and above personnel upon request, to be directed towards the Ethics Committee.

Day 1

The video starts with [DCLASS5 NAME]'s fingers still over the camera lens, the microphone buffeted with the noise of shuffling hands. After a few seconds the camera stabilizes and their voice can be heard.

D-XXXX: -fucker in place, now. Alright. Where are you wanting me to go again?

Dr. XXXX: There should be a map of the complex nearby. Go ahead and get the blueprints for the place out of your map pocket and compare them with that map.

D-XXXX: Got it. Let's see here…

D-XXXX spends 2-3 minutes comparing the two maps, eventually drawing attention to the Southern segment of the map. Analysis of the map from D-XXXX's camera feed shows drastic differences around Buildings 38-50, with the largest difference being Building 44 being indicated as a thin crescent shape on the Southernmost edge of the complex. Apartment 4444 is indicated as the center unit of Building 44.

D-XXXX: Am I good to start driving down that way?

Dr. XXXX: We shouldn't need any more documentation of that map. Proceed.

D-XXXX drives the ARTV South, and soon spots a large structure on the horizon.

D-XXXX: Uh, chief… Is this one supposed to be this big?

As D-XXXX advances closer, Building 44 begins to overshadow its nearby buildings, with at least 40 stories estimated from the clearest segments of video feed, in comparison to the 2 floors of the original building.

Dr. XXXX: We've seen a few different layouts. Just keep in mind, the outside really doesn't mean anything about what the inside will be like.

D-XXXX opens the nearest entrance to the building, and is immediately greeted with an interior resembling a luxury hotel foyer. The ceiling stretches up at least to the height implied by the exterior of the structure, while each floor wraps in a slowly descending spiral to ground level. The floor is decorated with elaborate geometric mosaics, and a small tile fountain can be seen gurgling on the far side.

D-XXXX: Are you still seeing me over there?

Dr. XXXX: Affirmative. Video and audio feeds uninterrupted.

D-XXXX: Well, hopefully that's good news. Where should I start looking around here?

Dr. XXXX: Do you see any signs anywhere nearby?

D-XXXX scans the immediate area. Over the entrance they just entered from is a placard that reads "0000". After a moment, they find a sign next to a hallway.

D-XXXX: Alright, the first one just says 100-999 is down this way. The other arrows all say 9999+, even though they point everywhere else.

Dr. XXXX: Can you advance down that hallway and try to establish contact with a researcher?

D-XXXX: May as well.

D-XXXX enters the hallway and quickly finds Apartment 0101. The Foundation researcher within reports seeing D-XXXX outside of their standard door, but does not see the elaborate foyer visible on D-XXXX's camera.

Dr. XXXX: Alright, well, not sure what we expected after our earlier tests, but it's good to know we still haven't pierced into baseline reality just yet. Let's try to find a way into that spiral.

D-XXXX scans the base of the foyer, eventually finding the point where the spiral connects to the floor. Beside this entranceway is a sign simply inscribed with "This Way" and an arrow pointing forwards.

D-XXXX: Well, the first apartment I see here is numbered 1000. And… Fuck me… This whole damn spiral goes up by ones.

Dr. XXXX: Just be thankful you've got the ARTV. Most poor bastards in your shoes would be footin' it on these expeditions.

D-XXXX: Well, still, shit's probably gonna take all day. This thing doesn't have an automate function on it, does it?

Dr. XXXX: It does, but that requires remote control. And we didn't rent the remote unit.

D-XXXX: Ah, well. Nice to know you care.

D-XXXX continues up the spiral for 18 hours, periodically conversing with Dr. XXXX and other members of the research team for basic entertainment and eating/drinking as needed. Throughout D-XXXX's time inside "Building 44", their GPS continuously broadcasts as if it were stationary at the edge of the structure as indicated on official blueprints.

Eventually, D-XXXX requests to rest, and the research team acquiesces.

Day 2

D-XXXX continues from where they left off the previous day, around Apartment 3027, and for approximately 4 hours continues uneventfully along the spiral, replacing the ARTV's battery for the first time at 2 hours along.

After this interval, D-XXXX reaches the end of the spiral, with the hallway forming the spiral fanning out into a number of different tunnels. No signage is in view.

D-XXXX: Are you seeing this? No labels on, what, 20 different doors? How the fuck is this supposed to work?

Dr. XXXX: Calm down, please. Since you've got the ARTV, we can follow any of these for some distance without investing too much time. Start with the leftmost path.

D-XXXX: Whatever you say.

D-XXXX begins advancing down the path, which begins with Apartment 3301 but continues in intervals of 0.5. The distance between apartments also slowly increases, as with other experiments. Upon reaching Apartment 3330, each half-interval apartment is a full 75m apart from the one before it.

D-XXXX: Still over a thousand out and I'm already getting this funhouse mirror shit? Can't catch a break.

Dr. XXXX: Well, you've got 19 other paths to try at that hub, if you'd like.

D-XXXX: May as well. There's no real sign this was the right way anyway.

D-XXXX advances back to the previous circular intersection. Although there are still a significant number of branching paths, the number according to later analysis does not exceed 15. D-XXXX emerges from the third path on the right and takes a moment to decide where to proceed.

Dr. XXXX:

Footnotes

1. Foundation researchers were able to confirm through staff impersonation that this apartment was not occupied at the time of this experiment.

2. Despite no residents remaining at the complex, this document will continue to refer to each subunit of SCP-XXXX as "Apartment" for clarity's sake

3. Building 12 is indicated on official maps of [APARTMENT NAME] as containing Apartment 1234, and Buildings 11 and 13 are indicated as directly adjacent on the same maps

4. This apartment is the final number indicated in official blueprints of Building 12 at [APARTMENT NAME]

5. It is believed the third sign refers to an "Apartment -2216", rather than having a defect or typographical error in the hyphen

6. At this point in time, D-4782 had been waiting in the courtyard outside "Building 22" for about 5 minutes

Special Containment Procedures: In order to reliably contain SCP-XXXX and all other related entities, any and all followers are to be terminated upon discovery, any and all places of worship are to be bombarded with Class-3 artillery, and all gatherings are to be surrounded by MTF Nu-7 and subsequently destroyed.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an extradimensional deity resembling ███████ from H.P Lovecraft's ███████ mythos. The religion devoted to this entity is called The Cult of ███████. This cult will periodically hold services to this deity that include archaic chants, ritual murder, and other strange practices, many of which can be found in a book that is always present during these services: The Necronomicon, By: █████ ████████. Many of the chants and rituals that are included in The Necronomicon are anomalous in nature and/or have many anomalous hazards. Included below are some of the rituals and chants found in The Necronomicon (Cognito hazards redacted and/or neutralized). The participants of the services often wear headdresses that appear to be attempted replications of the head of ███████. looking upon living subjects donning these headdresses for more than ██ seconds will eventually cause the viewer to either fall insane, and/or become devoted to The Cult of ███████. These effects will present themselves anywhere from █ hours to ██ years after the initial ██ seconds of exposure. Viewing images of these subjects will not result in the aforementioned effects, but ██% of viewers will receive a headache after more than 15 seconds of viewing, and █% of these headaches will not dissipate. Above is an image of a devotee wearing one of the aforementioned headdresses.
NOTE: Personnel with an A.R.S of over 15 will not be affected by images that include subjects wearing the headdresses.

Awake ye horrid Great Olde Ones. A chant by █████ █████████. The Necronomicon.

Awake ye horrid Great Olde Ones, and nothing shall dismay.
Remember great ███████ shall rise up from █'████
To enlighten us with old knowledge if we should flock ███ way.

Oh, tidings of knowledge and song,
Knowledge and song,
Oh, tidings of knowledge and song.

In ███████ and in █████████ the Great Olde Ones were spawned,
Imprisoned by the Elder Gods to wait for long aeons.
Enticing humans to release them, whilst chanting greatest song.

Ascendence and song,
Oh, tidings of ascendence and song.

Death May Die. A chant by █████ ████████. The Necronomicon

████████ said that is not dead which can eternal lie.
███ ████ said that is not dead for even death may die.
For it is known that death will die, for even death may die.
████████ said that is not dead which can eternal lie
And on ███ own, did pen the tome, tis called the ██ ████.
The howling devil did sing to ███ with fiendish songs of grief.
With fiendish songs of grief it sang! With bloodied face of tears.
The howling demon did speak to ███, within ███ restless dreams.
Then unseen demons ate from ███, from ███ dry Damascus corpse.
Now ███ words live on, yes for strange eons, in The Necronomicon.
The Necronomicon ██ wrote, The Necronomicon.
██ still lives on within aeons, tis now the ██ ████!
Doth sing to us, ███ words the gong, The Necronomicon.

Carol of Fate. A prophecy. The Necronomicon.

Look to the sky, way up on high;
There in the night, stars now are right.
Aeons have passed, now then at last;
Whence they were penned, they shall descend.

They will return, mankind will learn;
New kinds of fear once they are here.
As they reclaim all in their name;
Hope turns to black, as they come back

Ignorant fools mankind now rules.
Where they ruled then, it's theirs again.
Stars brightly burning boiling bode
The returning seasons of doom:

[REDACTED] Solstice,
[REDACTED] Solstice

Up from the sea, from underground;
Down from the sky, they're all around.
They will return and mankind will learn,
Nothing they do will stop the stars.

Mankind will try, try then in vain
To stop the stars, from cycling.
Will they then learn, nothing they do
Can cease the stars, from what they do?

They will descend.
Woe without end
Where they extend:

Mankind Will Fall.

This "Carol of Fate" is the most concerning. If it is to be believed, upon a specific solstice of an unknown year, these "Great Olde Ones" will awake and reak havoc upon mankind, and according to this so-called prophecy, there is nothing that mankind will be able to do to stop or prevent this from occurring. Because our copy of The Necronomicon was obtained relatively recently, we do not know when █████ ████████ added this prophecy, if indeed ██ did. In conclusion, I believe it is best that we assume that this solstice is going to happen so that The Foundation can prepare for the worst, and decide what to do regarding The Masquerade.

████ ██████, O5-█

Below is an analysis conducted by The Foundations cryptography department on the nature of the three Necronomicon entries above:

+ "Awake ye Horrid Great Olde Ones"

Awake ye horrid Great Olde Ones. A chant by █████ █████████. The Necronomicon.

Awake ye horrid Great Olde Ones, and nothing shall dismay.

(This line is most likely from the point of view of the more sane members of The Cult of ███████. In this line, "Great Olde Ones" is plural, leading the cryptography team to believe that The Cult of ███████ is not just devoted to the deity of their namesake, but instead is devoted to the group of deities designated as the "Great Olde Ones", and further information about this is found later on.)

Remember great ███████ shall rise up from █'████

(This line is incredibly important to The Foundation, as it gives us a location, and though this given location cannot be found by a quick glance at the Earth, further study has found that █'████ is actually part of [REDACTED]. This gives The Foundation somewhere to start their studies.)

To enlighten us with old knowledge if we should flock ███ way.

(This line again is thought to be written from the point of view of the cult. We have found from different pieces within The Necronomicon [Note: As well as from recent tests performed to discover the effects that ███████ has on humans], viewing ███████ in any way causes mild to severe insanity. Whether this is caused by the introduction of knowledge {See SCP-606} is not of great importance because it is impossible to extract given knowledge after the onset of insanity. The use of "███" in this line suggests that ███████ is, or at least has, some defining characteristics that would lead cult members to deduce the biological sex of the entity.)

Oh, tidings of knowledge and song,
Knowledge and song,
Oh, tidings of knowledge and song.

(These three lines pose no specific interest)

In ███████ and in █████████ the Great Olde Ones were spawned,

(The two designations that are given here are titles, either of two Elder Gods [A designation thought to be of greater importance and/or higher power to the Great Olde Ones], or possibly two locations. This line also gives an origin of the Great Olde Ones, as they were spawned in ███████ and █████████.)

Imprisoned by the Elder Gods to wait for long aeons.

(This line introduces the Elder Gods as greater, older, and more powerful beings. The reason why they imprisoned the Great Olde Ones is shadowy at best, and through the use of the word "aeons", we are drawn to believe that the length of the Great Olde Ones' imprisonment is extensive. We have but a few records detailing the time when the Great Olde Ones were imprisoned, and their foretold emergence has no set date. The use of the word "wait" is also important, providing that they were imprisoned to stand by for something to come, rather than imprisoned to keep them from doing something.)

Enticing humans to release them, whilst chanting greatest song.

(This line conflicts with the "Carol of Fate" prophecy, which details that the Great Olde Ones will break containment due to an astrological occurrence rather than from human intervention. Due to this conflict, it is believed that the Great Olde Ones will escape containment on a solstice that matches the description in the "Carol of Fate" prophecy, but only if The Cult of ███████ has a degree of worship and/or influence that is of currently unknown size. This information is the cause of the current special containment procedures.)

Oh, tidings of ascendence and song,
Ascendence and song,
Oh, tidings of ascendence and song.

(These lines pose no specific interest.)

An Arab said "That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And in strange aeons you will find that even death may die."

(The quote found in this line is present to a surprising degree throughout The Necronomicon, and is credited to █████ ████████. No specific purpose or effects have been connected to this quote, though it is speculated to hold some importance due to the frequency at which it can be found within The Necronomicon)

The Great Olde Ones will rule once more and all will be reborn!

(In the eyes of sane cult members, the coming of the Great Olde Ones will cause most of humanity to devote themselves entirely to the success of these deities and believe that those who do will be rewarded. The insane cult members however believe a variety of things, from the destruction of humanity when the Great Olde Ones arrive, to the eternal torture of all things on Earth upon their arrival.)

Oh, only songs of greatness and gong,
greatness and gong,
Oh, only songs of greatness and gong.

(These lines hold no significant value)

---

+ "Death May Die"

Death May Die. A chant by █████ ████████. The Necronomicon

████████ said, "that is not dead which can eternal lie".
███ ████ said, "that is not dead for even death may die".

("████████" in this line is likely referring to █████ ████████, the author of The Necronomicon. Furthermore, "███ ████" is a known alias of █████ ████████. As mentioned before, these quotes are speculated to hold some importance, although exactly what is unknown.)

For it is known that death will die, for even death may die.

(The repetition of this quote again reinforces its importance.)

████████ said that is not dead which can eternal lie

(Again, repetition leads us to believe that these quotes are somehow important.)

And on ███ own, did pen the tome, tis called the ██ ████.

(The "██ ████" is another designation for The Necronomicon, a designation that holds greater value, but also more danger. This line also notes that the ██ ████ was created by █████ ████████ alone.)

The howling devil did sing to ███ with fiendish songs of grief.

(This line introduces a new entity, the possible nature of which is revealed later on in the passage. Whether or not the use of the word "songs" is literal or not is unknown, and likely unimportant.)

With fiendish songs of grief it sang! With bloodied face of tears.

(More descriptions of the unknown entity are located in this line. The cartography department has found a link between the unknown entity and the "smiling man" detailed in SCP-507)

The howling demon did speak to ███, within ███ restless dreams.

(This line shows that the unknown entity planted the idea of The Necronomicon in █████ ████████'s mind while ██ slept.)

Then unseen demons ate from ███, from ███ dry Damascus corpse.

(Details of █████ ████████'s ritual murder are present in this line)

Now ███ words live on, yes for strange aeons, in The Necronomicon.

(This line details how The Necronomicon continues to be updated, with each new entry being credited to █████ ████████. The cryptography team has decided that █████ ████████ is indeed writing new entries to The Necronomicon. It appears that the ritual murder of █████ ████████ has seemingly bound ███ to ███ work and ██ appears to be content, and is even willing to write more Necronomicon entries)

The Necronomicon ██ wrote, The Necronomicon.
██ still lives on within aeons, tis now the ██ ████!
Doth sing to us, ███ words the gong, The Necronomicon.

(These lines reinforce the idea that █████ ████████ was bound to The Necronomicon upon ███ murder, and that ██ continues to write more material that is subsequently added to The Necronomicon)

---

+ "Carol of Fate"

Carol of Fate. A prophecy. The Necronomicon.

Look to the sky, way up on high;
There in the night, stars now are right.

(The suggestion that the Great Olde Ones will arrive when a certain astronomical event occurs is introduced in this line)

Aeons have passed, now then at last;
Whence they were penned, they shall descend.

("Whence they were penned, they shall descend" provides that the Great Olde Ones will emerge from where they were imprisoned, rather than from random locations. This is important as now The Foundation knows to fortify the imprisonment site of discovered entities.)

They will return, mankind will learn;
New kinds of fear once they are here.
As they reclaim all in their name;
Hope turns to black, as they come back

(This line suggests that mankind will know fear as we have never before, and will lose all hope as the Great Olde Ones return. "All in their name" suggests that the Earth was promised to the Great Olde Ones, perhaps by the Elder Gods.)

Ignorant fools mankind now rules.

(This line stumped the cryptography team for a significant length of time. At first glance, this line seems to be addressing the Great Olde Ones, telling them that they are ignorant for underestimating the power that mankind now can access. However, it is possible that a typo was made: "Now" instead of "new". No typos have ever been found within The Necronomicon and yet, the inclusion of one in this prophecy would fit the theme of The Necronomicon much better: Now stating that mankind is ignorant, and the discovery of this prophecy forces The Foundation to think differently, [following new rules, as the typo would suggest]. Another note that the cryptography team has deemed worthy to mention is, seeing that author of The Necronomicon is thought to be actively writing, the author could have purposefully added this typo to throw The Foundation "off their trail" as it were, giving false hope to a possible successful outcome. Because the idea of a purposeful typo fits so well, the cryptography team will continue as if this is the objective truth, and a small cryptography team will continue to analyze this line of text.)

Where they ruled then, it's theirs again.

(This line reinforces the idea that the Great Olde Ones did indeed once inhabit and rule the Earth, but for some unknown reason were imprisoned by the Elder Gods to wait for something for an unknown reason. Seeing as SCP-XXXX resembles an entity created by H.P Lovecraft, further study into H.P Lovecraft's writing, specifically [REDACTED], is heavily encouraged. A relation to SCP-2264 has been found.)

Stars brightly burning boiling bode
the returning seasons of doom:

(The star Atroitrokt recently underwent a strange process [ aptly named cosmic evaporation ] where the surface of the star began to 'bubble' in a process similar to boiling, this process created intense heat and light, even reaching Earth and causing a 50-degree increase in average temperatures across the globe for the 15 hours that the process lasted. Seemingly in coincidence, the seemingly extinct La Garita Caldera erupted at the same time when the effects of Atroitrokt's evaporation reached Earth. Investigation into the La Garita Caldera volcano is underway by MTF Epsilon-9 [ See Exploration Logs ]. This occurrence could mark the beginning of the [REDACTED] Solstice.)

[REDACTED] Solstice,
[REDACTED] Solstice

(These are descriptions of the cosmic alignment during the Solstice of Awakening.)

Up from the sea, from underground;
Down from the sky, they're all around.

(This shows the vague locations where the Great Olde Ones will emerge. This reinforces the idea that a Great Olde One is located inside of the La Garita Caldera)

They will return and mankind will learn,
Nothing they do will stop the stars.

(Again, these lines reinforce the idea that the Solstice of Awakening will occur based on an astronomical occurrence)

Mankind will try, try then in vain
To stop the stars, from cycling.

(This line foretells that The Foundation, or in the case of a Broken Masquerade, all of mankind will attempt to prevent the movement of the cosmos in order to keep the Solstice of Awakening from happening.)

Will they then learn, nothing they do
Can cease the stars, from what they do?

(This suggests that the attempts of mankind will fall short and that we will have to accept that we will need to fight in order to survive.)

They will descend.
Woe without end
Where they extend:

(Yet again, this tells that the coming of the Great Olde Ones will occur)

Mankind Will Fall.

(This line suggests that humanity will fall, but with all confidence, The Foundation assures you, this will not happen.)

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a humanoid containment cell at Site-17. If SCP-XXXX manifests any constumes, the item should be confiscated and the entity should be disciplined. Due to the risk of a containment breach, SCP-XXXX cannot be given food or items. As of 2/19/18 Protocol "SETA-6" is in effect, and no interviews are permitted with the entity.

SCP-XXXX-A is to be placed in a storage locker at Site-17. Once a week SCP-XXXX-A must be shipped to other sites or medical centers under Foundation ownership.

+ Protocol "SETA-6", level 4 or higher clearance

During protocol "SETA-6," SCP-XXXX-A is extracted from SCP-XXXX once a week between 0700 and 1900. When doing Protocol "SETA-6," any weapon that is sharp enough to open the wound, may be used against SCP-XXXX. Protocol "SETA-6" must be approved by Dr. Eliza before it is implemented, and SCP-XXXX must be restrained or handicapped. Weapons must penetrate SCP-XXXX's bones for the entity to bleed. Injuries can occur anywhere on the body, although it's preferred to hurt the entity around the cartilage. As soon as SCP-XXXX starts bleeding SCP-XXXX-A, the secretion must be collected in a container and placed in SCP-XXXX-A's locker.

SCP-XXXX shadow

Description: SCP-XXXX is a vaguely humanoid entity, the entity stands 1.8 meters tall and weighs 64 kilograms, has four luminescent white eyes, and no other distinguishing features. The X-rays of SCP-XXXX have revealed an organic bone system that functions in the same way as an organ system. The SCP-XXXX bone system can easily bend and compress, making it highly mobile and flexible. SCP-XXXX body can produce tendrils from seemingly any part of its body. These tendrils have been measured as far as 60 meters and have been observed lifting 300 pounds.

SCP-XXXX-A is an odorless white secretion that can cure injuries and illnesses based on how much is administered. Upon receiving more than 3 liters of SCP-XXXX-A, all of the subject's inner fluids will evaporate, and all of the organs will rupture.

A picture of SCP-XXXX at a convention

SCP-XXXX will occasionally manifest a full body suit that appears similar to characters from the virtual game "Hollow Knight. A half-hour before the suit manifests, SCP-XXXX will slow down in movement and slur its speech until the suit appears on its body. The suits are non-anomalous and can be easily removed from the entity's body with little resistance. If asked about the suits, SCP-XXXX will claim to have made them by hand and will go into detail about the item, despite the video logs showing otherwise.

SCP-XXXX claims to have existed as a large entity before it hibernated in the 1830s (See Addendum XXXX.1), but this claim has not been confirmed beyond an extract from a book in the Adelaide City Library. Research on the history of SCP-XXXX is ongoing.

SCP-XXXX was found in a company building located in Adelaide, South Australia. The foundation learned about the entity when an employee of a company called Team Cherry informed the police that a "monster with many hands stole paper". A cave system was found that reached up to 236-meters wide that connected to the building. The police investigated the cave system, which had artwork on the walls and was filled with SCP-XXXX-A. Containment teams were brought in to retrieve the entity. After the entity was retrieved, employees were given amnestics and the cave was searched, pictures and writing were found.

---

Addendum XXXX.1: On 5/24/17 SCP-XXXX was discovered and interviewed.

+ Addendum XXXX.1

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Fisher

<Begin Log>

Dr. Fisher: Let's get this straight: why were you under that building?

SCP-XXXX: I fell asleep then I woke up with a building built on me.

Dr. Fisher: What about the cave system?

SCP-XXXX: My body formed that cave, but my body shrunk after a while.

Dr. Fisher: Why did your body shrink?

SCP-XXXX: Oh, that's simple, it was because I was hungry, that building was built on top of me, and if I went hunting I would hurt a lot of people.

Dr. Fisher: How would you hurt people?

SCP-XXXX: I would shift the surrounding buildings' foundations, which would cause buildings to collapse on people.

Dr. Fisher: What made you have this obsession with the game Hollow Knight?

SCP-XXXX: I was the most feared creature in the entire land. I was taller than any mountain, my reach was greater than any river, and I was more feared; animals fled, towns were pillaged, and history and people were destroyed all by me. People would tell stories about how I was the devil's spawn or sent by God to punish them for their sins. Although people offered me sacrifices, I didn't care; I would eat the people anyways! In the end, I became bored with the constant killing, so I hibernated for 268 years, and I awoke to music. Then I heard the music from Hollow Knight, and something changed, causing me to rethink my actions. My heart was filled with the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. No cries or screams could ever compare. It quenched my thirst for blood, for once, it made me cry, not from pain, but from a feeling I'd never felt before: love. My first impression of the music was that it was being played by the Gods, but it was being played by humans, those men who talked so lovingly of their creation, I could hear their love and care for it. If you think about it, it's poetic. Once a scary monster that was bloodthirsty, it turns docile when it sees its prey creating something wonderful.

Dr. Fisher: In your cave system, some writings were found. Can you explain why you wrote these?

SCP-XXXX: Uh… Not mine.

Dr. Fisher: Do you mean to tell me these writings were made by someone else and put in your cave system?

SCP-XXXX: Yes, someone else wrote those amazing pieces.

Dr. Fisher: Since we interviewed the employees of the building you lived under, and they claim they did not write the stories if you can call them that, I find it hard to believe that you did not write them. There would be no point in employees writing stories like "I am a monster who works for Team Cherry" or "The Monster and Zote +18".

SCP-XXXX: I write to pass the time.

Dr. Fisher: What else did you do to pass the time?

SCP-XXXX: I made costumes.

Dr. Fisher: And what do you do with the costumes?

SCP-XXXX: So I can go to conventions.

Dr. Fisher: You know what that is?

SCP-XXXX: Yes, I wanted to show my love for the games, and I heard that these conventions are a way to show that love to others.

(SCP-XXXX pulls out a picture from out of its hand)

SCP-XXXX: See? Do you like my Hollow Knight costume? It was one of my first.

Dr. Fisher: That's nice-

SCP-XXXX: Are there conventions here also?

Dr. Fisher: This is a facility, not a conversion center.

SCP-XXXX: Could I go to some conventions in the future? The season’s starting soon.

Dr. Fisher: We're getting off-topic has anyone seen you without your costume?

SCP-XXXX: Never, I prefer costumes that are true to the original material, and because Hollow Knight has no human characters or anatomy, the only way to match the world would be to cover my entire body in fabrics and masks. There were times when I had to venture out of the cave to hunt for materials, but it would be a slap in the face to Team Cherry if I ruined their world by making an inaccurate costume.

Dr. Fisher: Ok, I think we will leave it-

SCP-XXXX: Wait, I have a question!

Dr. Fisher: What is it SCP-XXXX?

SCP-XXXX: Have you ever played Hollow Knight before?

Dr. Fisher: No, I don't play video games.

SCP-XXXX: Well, you have a computer or a laptop right?

Dr. Fisher: SCP-XXXX, do you actually have a question?

SCP-XXXX: Well, no but.

Addendum XXXX.2: The following is a passage from the book "Old Australia Stories" made in 1813 that details an entity that lines up with one of SCP-XXXX claims of its past.

+ Addendum XXXX.2

It was the first chance we could get when I heard some ships were seeking settlers to settle this new land. After living in those dirty cities for a while, I thought it was a fresh start for my family.

After we had settled into this new world, a dust cloud blocked most of our surroundings, so my family and I settled further away from the dust. After the dust settled a bit, I could see a small town of settlers on the northeast and a wasteland on the southeast. It wasn't as green and lush as I had envisioned, but it's better than the overcrowded cities and dirty streets.

While my wife and I were shopping in town, I heard a settler cry about a demon that pillaged his town. The man told profanities about the Demon. I did not think much about this and carried on with my day. The dust gets worse as the days go by, making it nearly impossible to see. While I was walking back a woman with torn clothing started screaming that a demon had struck down the town, I took her words as a lie and told her off, but she kept insisting that a demon as tall as the heavens had destroyed the city. As I was telling the women not to spit lies at my face, a blood-curdling roar erupted from the town. Looking back, I do not know what prompted me to run to the town with this woman.

When we finally came to the town it was in ruins blood and bodies filled the streets and as I looked further into the dust clouds I saw the demon, its skin was as black as the night sky, it had ram horns that glowed a dull white, and coming from its back and arms were tendrils that moved like a snake, the demon looked at us and began to laugh if you could call It that it wasn't a singular laugh but a laugh of many people. As the woman screamed, the demon laughed even more as it seized her. I saw this and ran, finding my house and running to my family, as I write this, the dust outside is growing worse and we run out of food, I can see that demon in that bellow of smoke watching me.

Addendum XXXX.4: On 5/27/17 SCP-XXXX was interviewed to learn the affects of SCP-XXXX-A.

+ Addendum XXXX.4

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Fisher

<Begin Log>

Dr. Fisher: SCP-XXXX how are you feeling today?

SCP-XXXX: I’m alright, I just feel a little nauseous.

Dr. Fisher: Do you have an idea over why you feel nauseous?

SCP-XXXX: You and your friends have taken a lot of my soul lately, and it makes me sick.

Dr. Fisher: Your soul?

SCP-XXXX: If my soul is combined with another soul, it can heal the body, but I can't drink my soul, because it's like drinking your own blood, which is unsanitary and a bit deranged.

Dr. Fisher: Can you drink other people’s souls and have the same effect?

SCP-XXXX: Yeah, but I moved past that a long time ago. If I drank a human soul, it would be gone, effectively killing that person. But I'm an endless river, so my soul will never go.

Dr. Fisher: Are you mad that we are drinking your soul?

SCP-XXXX: Since I killed thousands of humans for strength and size, I consider letting your friends use my soul as a way of paying back for what I did, however… It would be nice if you would dial back for my sake, but I fully understand if you don't.

Dr. Fisher: Do you still have a taste for human souls?

SCP-XXXX: I’ll get a craving sometime.

(SCP-XXXX pauses)

SCP-XXXX: However, that doesn't mean I've done it after I said I wouldn't, don't get the wrong idea!

Dr. Fisher: I understand I think we will end this interview-

SCP-XXXX: Are we friends?

Dr. Fisher: The question usually doesn't come up, but what made you want me to be your friend?

SCP-XXXX: I heard that when someone asks a lot of questions it is because they want to be friends, and I think if I had friends, I wouldn't crave souls as much.

(Dr. Fisher pauses)

Dr. Fisher: Would you stop interrupting me so much if I told you I was your friend?

SCP-XXXX: I guess. Oh, I also heard that friends know their other friend’s names. What is your name?

Dr. Fisher: I'm not allowed to give that information-

SCP-XXXX: There are many names I go by, but my favorite is "The Bloodhunter of Old Australia"!

Dr. Fisher: I'm not giving you a name SCP-XXXX. Keeping things professional between us is important to me. You are SCP-XXXX, and it makes no sense to use useless nicknames.

SCP-XXXX: I guess your right.

<End Log>

Addendum XXXX.5: On 1/15/18 Dr. Fisher interviewed SCP-XXXX on its wellbeing.

+ Addendum XXXX.5

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Fisher

<Begin Log>

SCP-XXXX: Wow, it's really you! I haven't seen you in so long I thought you left me.

Dr. Fisher: SCP-XXXX, how are you doing today?

SCP-XXXX: I'm starting to feel lonely because I can't connect with anyone. Whenever I try talking to someone through the window, they always ignore me. Not you, you seem to be forced to talk to me, you know. With the way you speak to me and all.

Dr. Fisher: Other than the personnel speaking to you, we have noticed that you keep asking for merchandise of that game you like. Effective immediately, we will stop giving you those items because, we have noticed it has become an unhealthy obsession.

SCP-XXXX: I wouldn't say it's an obsession, just a deep, deep, deep interest. Friends help each other with their interests, and I think you shouldn't cut off my items.

Dr. Fisher: Friends help friends get over the obsession, so the items are being cut off end of the discussion.

(SCP-XXXX remains silent)

Dr. Fisher: Do you wish you were still in Australia?

SCP-XXXX: No, because friends don't ever leave friends behind no matter what.

Addendum XXXX.6: On 2/19/18 Dr. Fisher went on retirement and SCP-XXXX was informed by Dr. Eliza.

+ Addendum XXXX.6

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Eliza

<Begin Log>

Dr. Eliza: Hello SCP-XXXX, how are you today?

SCP-XXXX: Where is Harry?

Dr. Eliza: Call him Dr. Fisher SCP-XXXX-

SCP-XXXX: My name is Hollow, and friends call their friends by their real name!

Dr. Eliza: SCP-XXXX do not interrupt me, or I'm ending this interview! Now SCP-XXXX Dr. Fisher has retired-

SCP-XXXX: What does retired mean?

Dr. Eliza: SCP-XXXX stop interrupting me!

SCP-XXXX: Does retiring mean that Harry is bringing more friends for me to see?

(Dr. Eliza sighs)

Dr. Eliza: Retired means that Dr. Fisher isn't coming back SCP-XXXX.

(SCP-XXXX laughs)

SCP-XXXX: That's a funny joke but seriously where is Harry?

Dr. Eliza: I told you SCP-XXXX he isn't coming back.

SCP-XXXX: But… Harry told me that friends stay together, he wouldn't lie to his friend, he said that friends joke around sometimes… I think he's playing a friendly joke on me! Harry wouldn't leave me I know it.

Dr. Eliza: Well, he left you SCP-XXXX, and you are going to have to get over it. Several things are going to change now that I'm the head researcher.

SCP-XXXX: Would you be able to be my friend if things change?

Dr. Eliza: Sure.

<End Log>

Addendum XXXX.7: The following is an email between Dr. Eliza and Junior researcher Ryan Scott.

+ Addendum XXXX.7

To: Eliza Taylor
From: Ryan Scott
Subject: Protocol SETA-6

---

I feel that "Protocol SETA-6" is cruel; I cannot stand hearing its screams through the glass anymore, and I am shocked there haven't been any complaints from other personnel about the screaming. Due to the messy and unprofessional manner in which SCP-XXXX-A has been collected, I feel like you are just wanting to torture the entity rather than collect it.

So I'm proposing we change "Protocol SETA-6" to be more humane, for starters, we should try to treat SCP-XXXX like a human than just a dispenser, and instead of bloodletting SCP-XXXX we should try to go back to Phlebotomy SCP-XXXX of SCP-XXXX-A, if we have done it correctly we could lower SCP-XXXX pain levels and still get SCP-XXXX-A.

To: Ryan Scott
From: Eliza Taylor
Subject: RE: Protocol SETA-6

---

After reading your complaint about "Protocol SETA-6," I believe the protocol is justified and shouldn't be changed. As with SCP-XXXX and the page from "Old Australian Stories", it is yet another monster that the foundation has managed to subdue. My work at the foundation has established that all murderous entities desire to kill, regardless of how long they have been around. As SCP-XXXX is murderous by nature, I believe that it is behaving like a Hollow Knight fan, letting our guard down to consume us. Even though "Protocol SETA-6" is a mess, it achieves two objectives, and even though we are torturing SCP-XXXX and wasting resources, we will be paid, and SCP-XXXX-A is the payment. SCP-XXXX is just a murderer with many hands that needs to pay for their crimes. Protocol "SETA-6" will not be changed. We can schedule an alternative time for you to come to watch SCP-XXXX if the screams are bothering you that much. However, you will need to learn that screaming is part of the job.

To: Eliza Taylor
From: Ryan Scott
Subject: RE: Protocol SETA-6

---

SCP-XXXX is not a monster, It shows complex emotions like you and me, but you do not see this and instead torment the entity and let it wallow in its own blood. At least the entity allowed us to take SCP-XXXX-A in the past by getting it drawn. Sure, we didn't get as much blood, but at least it was humane. In contrast, you approve of this horrid protocol, claiming that we subdued a monster, but we subdued a human and we are turning it into a monster. I think its outburst and its cries for help should have been a big red flag that what you are doing is unprofessional and wrong, even by foundation standards.

To: Ryan Scott
From: Eliza Taylor
Subject: RE: Protocol SETA-6

---

It is indeed a bit cruel, but we must get as much SCP-XXXX-A as possible; we presumed that we lost hundreds of personnel at Site-23, but when those people were given SCP-XXXX-A, and they survived. We need to keep the protocol SETA-6, we save hundreds every single day, would you rather make one entity suffer than kill hundreds just because you don't want that one entity to suffer. SCP-XXXX has stated it wants to make up for its past acts, and now it is paying for it. A person who pleads guilty to a crime and is jailed must pay for their crime even if they hate jail. Protocol "SETA-6" will remain unchanged, as I mentioned before.

---

Incident XXXX.1: The following is a Audio and Video log from SCP-XXXX containment cell when the SCP-XXXX caused Incident XXXX.1 during Protocol "SETA-6".

+ Incident XXXX.1

---

Date: 8/18/21

---

[BEGIN LOG]

1117: Dr. Eliza goes into the containment cell with Alpha 1 and Alpha 2. As a security guard walks up to SCP-XXXX, the entity starts to stand up as it starts to produce tendrils from its ankle, shoulder blade, and elbow. Security stops walking and points their guns at SCP-XXXX.

Alpha 1: SCP-XXXX get on the ground!

SCP-XXXX: I don't want to stay on the ground any longer.

Alpha 1: SCP-XXXX, I'm not repeating this stay on the ground!

1118: SCP-XXXX lunges at Alpha 1, the entity bites their hand, and Alpha 1 goes limp. As a result, SCP-XXXX begins growing one meter taller.

SCP-XXXX: Leave me alone-

Alpha 2: SCP-XXXX, just stay down-

SCP-XXXX: I won't let you hurt me again I've suffered for too long! I've done bad things, but you guys are worse! Friends don't hurt friends!

1119: After Alpha 2 begins shooting at SCP-XXXX, the entity grabs Alpha 1's body with its tendrils and throws it at Alpha 2. SCP-XXXX looks at Dr. Eliza and uses a tendril to grab her and pull her to the entity.

SCP-XXXX: You could have done something to stop my pain, why didn't you stop it? Although I'm new to the concept of friends, that doesn't mean I'm stupid. Why did you say you were my friend if you were going to hurt me, I assume so that I could bend over to you!

1119 Alpha 2 shoots SCP-XXXX twice in the back SCP-XXXX begins to scream and throws Dr. Eliza out of frame. The SCP-XXXX begins to produce more tendrils from its spine and neck to cover up the bullet wounds. Alpha 2 gets back up and points his gun at SCP-XXXX.

Alpha 2: SCP-XXXX, get down or I will shoot!

SCP-XXXX: No, I won't-

1120: Alpha 2 shoots SCP-XXXX in the leg and shoulder, SCP-XXXX screams and falls to the ground, and Dr. Eliza walks back into the frame.

Dr. Eliza: Alpha 2 be careful with SCP-XXXX, we don't need it dead!

Alpha 2: Don't worry, it's all taken care of.

Dr. Eliza: Ok then, let's start SETA-6.

Alpha 2: Don't you think we need more security, that thing may try something again?

Dr. Eliza: Are you stupid, we need SCP-XXXX-A, now go restrain SCP-XXXX so we can start!

1121: Alpha 2 begins walking up to SCP-XXXX.

Dr. Eliza: Hurry up, it's bleeding all over! We are losing precious resources!

Alpha 2: (unintelligible)

Dr. Eliza: You speak to your superior like that! I can take you off-

1121: SCP-XXXX grabs Alpha 2 and bites down on his neck, causing Alpha 2 to go limp, while SCP-XXXX grows one meter taller. SCP-XXXX grabs Dr. Eliza with a tendril before she reaches the containment cell doors.

SCP-XXXX: You're not getting away so easily, what's this rule everyone always says to treat others the way you'd like to be treated? This day has been so long in the making for me; how the tables have turned.

1121: SCP-XXXX carries Dr. Eliza out of frame as Dr. Eliza's screams could be heard.
[END LOG]

Closing Statement: Ten hours after the incident, a researcher walked in and saw SCP-XXXX doing supposedly Protocol "SETA-6" on Dr. Eliza. Dr. Eliza and other personnel who worked with SCP-XXXX are to be reviewed for their actions. Many human rights law was broken without authorization and unnecessary violence against SCP-XXXX when extracting SCP-XXXX-A.

[END LOG]

Addendum XXXX.8: On 7/20/21 the interview of SCP-XXXX was conducted for a testimony against Dr. Eliza. As a result of SCP-XXXX's outburst when in contact with personnel, the interview had to be conducted over a speaker.

+ Addendum XXXX.8

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: Dr. Hampton

<Begin Log>

Dr. Hampton: Hello there Hollow, I'm here on-

SCP-XXXX: Don't call me that!

Dr. Hampton: In your earlier interviews, you wanted to be called that?

SCP-XXXX: Only friends call friends by their real names, and from the looks of it, I don't have any friends.

Dr. Hampton: Well, I can be your friend if you like.

SCP-XXXX: I won't go through that again because friends only leave or betray you, so what's the point.

Dr. Hampton: Soon, you will find friends trust me.

(Dr. Hampton looks down at his papers)

Dr. Hampton: SCP-XXXX, I'm here on the half of the Ethics Committee to gather testimony from you about your time in containment under Dr. Eliza's care.

(SCP-XXXX doesn't respond)

Dr. Hampton: SCP-XXXX can you answer the question.

SCP-XXXX: I don't want to talk about it.

Dr. Hampton: SCP-XXXX we need your input on what Dr. Eliza did to you so we can get our story straight.

SCP-XXXX: It hurt… a lot.

Dr. Hampton: We need more information than that SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX: Can't you just check the cameras.

Dr. Hampton: We did, but I need you to tell me what she did, so we can make sure she gets the punishment she deserves.

SCP-XXXX: Shouldn't I be the one that deserves to be punished?

Dr. Hampton: Excuse me?

SCP-XXXX: She told me that I deserved to be hurt, that it was justice for all the lives I destroyed, she told me that Harry- I mean Doctor Fisher was too nice to me, and she was right I deserved it, I killed so many I shouldn't have fought back I don't know what came over me, I'm just a monster, a freak and that's all I'll ever be.

Dr. Hampton: You're more than a monster, don't say that. It was never right for her to authorize that protocol, and the personnel should never have followed it. Can you tell us what she did to you?

(SCP-XXXX voice began to break)

SCP-XXXX: Initially, I let her cut me because I thought friends would do that, just like joking around or talking. However, the pain grew worse as the days passed, so I tried to stop them, but nothing worked.

Dr. Hampton: Do you need a moment?

(SCP-XXXX paused for a minute before speaking again)

SCP-XXXX: I expected Dr. Fisher to come back, open the door, see me, and then take me back to Australia. Although I knew he would come back for me because friends don't leave friends, he never came back for me.

Dr. Hampton: Do you know Dr. Eliza's opinion on you?

SCP-XXXX: The only thing she ever talked about was my soul, or how she thought I was a freak and shouldn't exist. I am just a freak with many hands that destroy lives.

Dr. Hampton: Okay, I think we are done here. Thank you for your cooperation.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: As of 7/20/21, all shipping and collecting of SCP-XXXX-A have ceased, and SCP-XXXX is being transferred to a new site.

« SCP-XXXW | SCP-XXXX | SCP-XXXY »

Wow! You flipped a card and got: Carousel Demo 2!!! You ca reload the page or go to the next.
DATE: 19 Jun 2021 00:32

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.

Related components

Other personal styling components (which change just a couple things):

• RSO Component — Rounderhouse

Personal styling themes (which are visual overhauls):

• Magnus Web Format — DrMagnus
• Flopstyle CSS — Lt Flops
• Blankstyle CSS — HarryBlank
• Placestyle CSS — Placeholder McD
• Jakstyle — JakdragonX

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; }

Item #: SCP-5853 "'Evangeline' et 'Eden'"

Object Class: Euclid

Clearance Level Required: 2

Special Containment Procedures: Both SCP-5853-1 and SCP-5853-2 are to be contained within two separate containment rooms. Full and constant surveillance must be kept on SCP-5853-1 and SCP-5853-2. The rooms must be completely empty with only a pair of MTF soldiers being allowed to deliver supplies. As soon as MTF enters they must close the door immediately until they are ready to leave, at which point another task force will be waiting at the other side of the door to eliminate any potential escape attempts.

Description: SCP-5853 are a pair of identical French twins who refer to themselves as 'Evangeline' (SCP-5853-1) and 'Eden' (SCP-5853-2). Both sport shoulder high pale blonde hair with almost glass like blue eyes. Their skin is as pale as a freshly deceased corpse and both have a three inch long gash going from each eye to the side of their lips. The gash is festering and the darkest possible red. Looks almost radiant in a way but ugly at the same time. Apart from these intense similarities there is one major difference between the twins. 'Evangeline ' is frowning constantly and appears in a state of eternal depression. 'Eden is always smiling and appears to enjoy harm. 'Eden' wears an Onyx coloured ensemble including hoodie and jeans where as 'Evangeline' sports a jet outfit similar to 'Eden's' yet 'Evangeline's' jeans are ripped revealing spots of necrotic skin. The pair each had a very rustic knife upon containment by the Foundation.

Notes The twins claim responsibility for over 200 murders in France between June 2015 and April 2021. This appears correct as many survivors of attacks mention the "W U Killers" in reference to the killers unique facial animations. 'Evangeline' only Reluctantly answers questions and gives small and concise answers whereas 'Eden' ever continues to be playful with her responses. A few O2 scientists have had to be forcibly removed from questioning 'Eden' due to the anger her responses invoke in the scientists.

Footnotes

_{1. 'Eden' and 'Evangeline' claim to be sent from a higher power to return souls to their final resting place. The foundation currently believes this is false but is keeping an ever watchful eye.}

Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]

Description: SCP-7732 is the designation given to the anomalous properties of an accessible pocket dimension located inside an abandoned building. The anomaly consists of four sub-anomalies designated SCP-7732-A, SCP-7732-B, SCP-7732-C and SCP-7732-Gamma.

SCP-7732-A is a small local supermarket in █████, ███. The building is composed of four main sections: a shopping area, the manager's office, a break room, and a storage room. However, only the storage room appears to be directly tied with the anomaly. It remains non-anomalous for all days of the year except for February 17th. The reason as to why such a specific date causes the manifestations is currently unknown.

SCP-7732-B is a seperate dimension acessible through the entrace of the storage room in SCP-7732-A during February 17th of any year. Exploration missions conclude that it appears to be an extensively large barren wasteland with no Earth life present. The only organism that inhabits SCP-7732 are instances of SCP-7732. The atmosphere that occupies SCP-7732-B consists of several toxic gases, investigations conclude the atmospheric composition to be roughly 56% hydrogen sulfide, %31 hydrogen cyanide, and 13% carbon monoxide.

SCP-7732-C are large, animate stone figures with a humanoid structure; measuring 4 meters tall on average, they are extremely resistant to physical damage. They mostly remain inert inside SCP-7732-C and only awaken during the event designated as SCP-7732-Gamma.

SCP-7732-Gamma is an event that occurs exactly between 7-9pm on February 17th of each year. During this event, several SCP-7732 instances exit SCP-7732-B. They then proceed to find a human victim, preferrably between the ages of 20-50. They bring the victim with them to the summit of Mt. ███, located near the town. After this, SCP-7732-C begin chanting in an unknown language, while the alive victim is placed on a ████ █████ to then be [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA TERMINATED BY O5 COMMAND]. Two hours later, they return back to SCP-7732-B, leaving no signs of anomalous activity behind. When asked, the town's residents seem to be completely unaware of the event's occurence.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is in containment by its free will. Under no circumstances will SCP-XXXX be exposed to any living organisms. SCP-XXXX must be observed and communicated using audio and visual surveillance. When interacting with SCP-XXXX, nothing involving violent crimes is to be mentioned. All instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be destroyed immediately. SCP-XXXX is contained in a building in Southern Mexico known as site [REDACTED}. A team of 5 researchers are to observe SCP-XXXX routinely to ensure it remains in containment. Failure to abide by these rules will result in an XK class scenario.

SCP-XXXX-2 is to be contained in a room kept at 200° Celsius to prevent any instances of SCP-XXXX-2-A from being created.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a sentient avocado measuring 6cm by 3cm. X-rays of SCP-XXXX have revealed that SCP-XXXX has internal organs located within the seed. SCP-XXXX has the ability to talk and communicate telepathically with others. SCP-XXXX refers to itself as "The Avocado God."

SCP-XXXX can fly in a way that is similar to the flight of a missile at 200 kilometres per hour. SCP-XXXX also possesses reality-altering abilities. When exposed to an individual who has committed what it deems as a violent crime, SCP-XXXX turns said person into a non-sentient avocado. These avocados are referred to as SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX has the ability to control Scp-XXXX-1 to its will and is known to combine SCP-XXXX-1 to make artillery and weapons such as tanks, catapults and canons; however, this event has only happened once and has led to the destruction of site-[REDACTED].

Researchers believe SCP-XXXX comes from an alternate dimension in which fruits and vegetables replaced humans as the dominant species. This is proven further by SCP-XXXX’s hostile attitude towards other fruits and vegetables. It engages in an argument with said fruit or vegetable, and when the fruit or vegetable does not respond, SCP-XXXX propels itself at said fruit or vegetable causing it to explode. When exposed to other avocados, SCP-XXXX engages in conversation with said avocado. When it does not reply to SCP-XXXX, it believes that said avocado is deceased and mourns it. SCP-XXXX then refers to said avocado as “A warrior lost in combat”.

+ Addendum Log-SCP-XXXX

When the area in which SCP-XXXX was located was searched, personnel recovered a statue of an avocado with text engraved on the bottom reading “ To my one true love, Ava.”. This statue is designated as SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 emits cartoonish hearts from its base when the phrase engraved on it is read. These hearts are designated as SCP-XXXX-2-A. SCP-XXXX-2 is unable to produce SCP-XXXX-2-A in extreme cold or heat. Human subjects that come into physical contact with SCP-XXXX-2-A will experience a tingling sensation across their back. After 29 hours, the subject’s skin turns green and rough and the subject begins vomiting what appears to be guacamole. After 30 hours, the subject turns into a giant avocado.

Discovery Log SCP-XXXX
SCP-XXXX was first noticed when several farmers went missing in [REDACTED]. When the area was searched, 8 levitating avocados were discovered. SCP-XXXX then communicated mentally to the personnel located in said area. Only one sentence has been fully deciphered by foundation researchers: “You are impure.” All personnel were then turned into instances of SCP-XXXX-1 and flown into the sky with SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX was only contained once 12 class-D personnel lured SCP-XXXX into its containment area in site-[REDACTED]. All of the class-D personnel were then turned into instances of SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX breached containment resulting in the destruction of site-[REDACTED] and the surrounding area.

Interview Log-SCP-XXXX

Dr.Ernest: Hello

SCP-XXXX: (silence)

Dr.Ernest: Can you hear me?

SCP-XXXX: Where are you? I can hear you but I can not sense you.

Dr.Ernest: You can sense?

SCP-XXXX: I can feel all those around me and it is my duty to make this world pure again.

Dr.Ernest: What do you mean by pure?

SCP-XXXX: This universe seems to have crime.

Dr.Ernest: How will you make it pure?

SCP-XXXX: By turning all the impure people into versions of me, so I can move on to the next universe.

Dr.Ernest: So you’ve been to other universes.

SCP-XXXX: My mission is to rid this world of impurities and I have done so to countless other worlds for I am The Avocado God.

Dr.Ernest: Ok, but it is fine. We have you here to help you keep the world pure.

SCP-XXXX: Nothing you can do can help me and my mission.

Dr.Ernest: Well you see, this world is already pure so you have no way of getting to another universe.

SCP-XXXX: How is this world pure? I have never been here.

Dr.Ernest: Well, crime is forbidden in this world, and those who do it are executed.

SCP-XXXX: Then who were the ones who I followed into the other building.

Dr.Ernest: We have a prison where we make people who commit crimes work and torture them, and sent them to get you into the building.

SCP-XXXX: Why do you need me here?

Dr.Ernest: We want to help you find a way to the next universe.

SCP-XXXX: How long will this take?

Dr.Ernest: Right now we have no way of knowing but we will have to do some scans and tests to get the data to help you.

SCP-XXXX: Ok so I will have to wait here until I can leave.

Dr.Ernest: Yes.

SCP-XXXX: And why should I believe you? And who were the ones that contained all the innocent things that have done nothing wrong?

Dr.Ernest: Who are they containing?

SCP-XXXX: The man with cactus for skin who wants to get rid of crime and the piece of slime that can cure depression and anxiety and countless other things.

Dr.Ernest: Ummmm, those were also prisoners we sent.

SCP-XXXX: Why should I believe you? I will have to break out of here again.

Dr.Ernest: Then how will you escape this reality if everyone is pure already?

SCP-XXXX: (silence)

SCP-XXXX: Fine, I will stay under one condition; You have to find a way to get me to my homeworld so I can go back to Ava.

Dr.Ernest: Who's Ava.

SCP-XXXX: Why she is the most beautiful thing in the multiverse.

Dr.Ernest: So you're in love with her?

SCP-XXXX: Yes, she is the love of my life.

Dr.Ernest: Ok…

SCP-XXXX: Will you help me escape this reality or not?

Dr.Ernest: Fine, We promise.

SCP-XXXX: And if you don't find a way to get me out, I will destroy this planet and everything you love.

SCP-XXXX-1

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored within a standard containment unit at Site-19. Research personnel with Level 3 or higher authorization may conduct tests with SCP-XXXX after proposal approval from Dr. Torres.

Tests involving SCP-XXXX have been discontinued following Incident 026-A. An Ethics Committee review led by Dr. Josefina Vega is currently in progress.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a large sphere composed of bronze and copper pipes approximately 2 meters in diameter. The interior of the sphere is hollow and contains a reservoir of liquid, classified as SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-1 possesses a faucet that when turned allows SCP-XXXX-2 to be expelled. “FREE YOURSELF” is etched onto the sides of the faucet.

SCP-XXXX-2 is a mixture of cleaning products and purified water. Chemical assays have found it is mainly composed of acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, various fatty acids, and calcium carbonate.
SCP-XXXX-2 has the anomalous effect of untethering objects and organisms from gravity when they are fully coated with the liquid. It also has the memetic effect of causing observers to report that an object washed with SCP-XXXX-2 appears cleaner regardless of its actual physical state.

Test subjects washed in SCP-XXXX-2 have reported long lasting euphoria as well as feelings of freedom and vigor. Test subjects are able to control their movement in space easily with what resembles instinctual or innate ability. Observers have reported feelings of jealousy and longing when observing test subjects.

Addendum: 1/22/2020: SCP-XXXX was delivered to Site-28 along with a multitude of other potentially anomalous artifacts following an MTF Mu-3 raid on a mansion in ██████, New Jersey. SCP-XXXX was found within a glass case which contained an item listing which described its ability to cause weightlessness. Beginning experimentation. -Dr. Torres

SCP-XXXX Testing Logs 01-03

Subject: Wooden chair. Approximately 5.5kg.
Notes: Became weightless when soaked in SCP-XXXX-2. The chair was able to be lifted with no effort and remained in place wherever it was left in the air. Observers reported feeling that the liquid did a remarkable job of cleaning the subject.

Subject: Soiled D-Personnel mattress. Approximately 25kg.
Notes: Became weightless when soaked. Research personnel reported that the mattress looked brand new. The mattress did not appear to have any substantial change in appearance besides now being wet. When asked to explain, Researcher Suwan stated that she knew it was physically filthy, but that it somehow felt immaculate.

Subject: Lead cube with a volume of 1 cubic meter. Approximately 11,350kg/12.5 tons.
Notes: Brought to SCP-XXXX’s chamber using air casters. Became weightless when soaked. Weight may not be a factor for the liquid’s anomalous property.

Addendum: 03/05/2020: Findings point to SCP-XXXX being an incredibly useful tool for many applications. So far the properties seem to be permanent and consistent.

SCP-XXXX-1 appears to produce more of SCP-XXXX-2 through an automated function that occurs 1-2 hours after SCP-XXXX-2 is expelled. Thermal imaging has shown that SCP-XXXX-1 is not able to completely reproduce the volume of SCP-XXXX-2 lost, with a base loss of 3% which increases with volume expelled. This indicates a possible finite amount of SCP-XXXX-2.

Organic matter will be tested next to investigate any potentially hazardous effects. -Dr. Torres

SCP-XXXX Testing Logs 43-48

Subject: USDA prime ground beef 85% lean 15% fat. Approximately 1kg.
Notes: Became weightless when soaked. No chemical changes found besides those that would occur upon exposure to the cleaning chemicals found within SCP-XXXX-2.

Subject: Three live mice in a cage. Approximately 1.5kg.
Notes: Became weightless when soaked. Subjects emitted high frequency chirps associated with pleasure. Subjects were able to move around the chamber easily by pushing the cage in the direction they pleased. One mouse was terminated for autopsy which found no abnormalities. The two remaining mice are kept in SCP-XXXX’s chamber for continued testing.

Subject: D-11298. Female, age 32. Approximately 61kg.
Notes: Became weightless when soaked. Harness was placed on subject beforehand to prevent unrestricted flight. Subject began laughing and rose above the floor. She reported feeling like a large weight was taken off of her, and that she felt revitalized and free. Research personnel found it hard to continue documenting and would stop taking notes to watch her. D-11298 underwent blood and tissue sample collection and was escorted back to her cell and placed under observation.

Addendum: 10/12/2020: So far 20 D-Class personnel and 6 researchers have been experimented on using SCP-XXXX with consistent favorable results. All have reported continued feelings of freedom and positivity.
Subject 01 (Wooden Chair) is showing signs that it’s weightlessness is ending, as it is slowly falling back towards the ground. -Dr. Torres

Addendum:

SCP-XXXX Incident 01-A
Date: 12/18/2020
Subject: Two live mice in a cage. Previously Subject 44. Approximately 1.25kg.
Notes: An anomalous side effect has been found with the loss of weightlessness in Subject 44. At 12:08am video footage into Subject 44’s cage showed the mice displaying signs of distress. This distress began to increase drastically over the next several minutes coinciding with their loss of weightlessness. Both Subject 44-1 and Subject 44-2 shrieked in fear and attempted to escape their enclosure. Subject 44-1 was seen biting at its own fur and flesh. Subject 44-2 shrieked until becoming catatonic. Subject 44-1 was found dead in the morning from self inflicted injuries. Both subjects were autopsied and had no anomalous damage. Subject 44-2 appeared to have died from a heart attack.

This news is unsettling. No hazardous or anomalous side effects have been found leading up to the loss of weightlessness. The weightlessness seems to have a persistent expiration date approximately 9 months after application. Subsequent testing will focus on studying the effects of the loss of weightlessness in live subjects. - Dr. Torres

Addendum:

SCP-XXXX Incident 05-A
Date: 01/13/2021
Subject: D-11298. Female, age 33. Previously Subject 48. Approximately 61kg.
Notes: D-11298 was placed under 24-hour surveillance after Incident 01-A. D-11298 was not made aware of the event and was simply told that researchers predicted that her weightlessness would likely expire within the month. D-11298 expressed disappointment but was nonetheless in good spirits quipping, “like all good things, I guess”.
01/12/2021: D-11298 fell asleep in the air above her bed an hour after lights out. D-11298 appeared comfortable. At 1:02am D-11298 began tossing and turning, an atypical sleep behavior for her. She began slowly sinking towards the ground. D-11298 jolted awake and let out a terrified gasp. She began plunging quicker in an inconsistent pattern, bobbing upwards slightly as she struggled. She showed behavior similar to Subject 44-1, tearing at different parts of her body with her nails and teeth in an attempt to pull away from something. She appeared to be successful for a moment before falling quickly soon after, letting out an exhausted scream as a result. D-11298 continued screaming and clawing until staff arrived and sedated her. After waking in the infirmary, D-11298 displayed the same panicked response and was promptly sedated.

01/25/2021: D-11298 appears to be unable to think clearly enough to describe her experiences. The fear and psychological damage shown is consistent with all tested animal subjects. D-11298’s mental state during the day has improved slightly after amnestic treatment, but she experiences persistent nightmares that result in self-mutilation. Testing will now focus on prevention of these symptoms to potentially protect the remaining D-Class personnel and researchers that have been exposed to SCP-XXXX-2. - Dr. Torres

Addendum:
SCP-XXXX Incident 026-A
Date: 06/17/2021
Subject: Dr. Torres. Male, age 47. Previously Subject 102. Approximately 75kg.
Notes: Dr. Torres was placed under 24-hour surveillance after Incident 022-A. Dr. Torres had become increasingly distraught and paranoid following the loss of weightlessness and subsequent mental breakdown of assistant researcher Mali Suwan. All attempts to prolong the effects of SCP-XXXX-2 have failed. Reapplication of SCP-XXXX-2 appears to have no effect. Dr. Torres has been transferred to a hospice suite for his remaining days. SCP-XXXX has been temporarily placed under the care of Dr. Obo.
06/17/2021: Dr. Torres was unable to sleep and refused sedatives as time drew closer to his expiration date. The following is the audio log of his last night.
11:23pm: What a fool I was! What a fool! What a fool! What a fool! If only I waited longer, if only I didn’t let hope consume me, she would still be here… They’d all still be here…
11:24pm: Dr. Torres began sobbing while grasping at his face and hair.
12:52pm: “I have to find out what is happening. I don’t want anyone else to have to suffer. I don’t want to sleep through it, I need to know. The feeling of freedom, it’s instinctual. Like something buried, taken, stolen. What did we all forget? I need to know. I need to know - I need to know - need to know. Need to make things right.”
2:16am: Dr. Torres begins nodding off into sleep.
3:48am: Dr. Torres descends slowly. Dr. Torres jerks his arm, stopping the descent for a moment, before it begins again faster.
3:49am: Dr. Torres wakes up and starts kicking and writhing.
“Dear god! Oh dear god! ███ ███████”
Remaining content redacted.1
Dr. Torres’s body was recovered the following morning. Autopsy reports determined his death resulted from blood loss after severely lacerating his tongue. Dr. Torres’s audio log has been deeply insightful. I wish him and the other subjects peace in the worlds after this one. -Dr. Obo
Addendum: 06/20/2021: All experiments with SCP-XXXX are to cease immediately pending an Ethics Committee review. Dr. Torres’s logs are to be sealed behind 05 Clearance and all associated researchers below said clearance to be given amnestics. All still living subjects are to be euthanized. Findings will be discussed with the 05-Council to determine the next course of action. -Dr. Vega
