Threat Level: Yellow

NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

  • All physical contact with SCP-XXXX is forbidden. Any personnel that that is not assigned to contact with SCP-XXXX is to be terminated immediately, with no objections.
  • The video and audio material, is to be made in special circumstances. All tests with SCP-XXXX are to be always observed by level 3 or higher personnel.

— Maria Jones, Director, RAISA


Item #: SCP-XXXX

Containment Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a stainless steel container at Site-██. It has to be observed once a week to maintain a constant report. All tests with SCP-XXXX are always to be observed by level 3 or higher personnel.

The anomaly of SCP-XXXX occurs only when a personnel has physical interaction with the SCP. In the first 30 seconds of contact, the subject will appear normal, but will have severe state of paralysis. From now we will call it SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 will stay in that state until another non-human subject interrupts the contact. In case of human interacting, SCP-XXXX-1 will try to attack the subject, causing it to turn into SCP-XXXX-2, which is exactly the same as SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are very aggressive and seems to have no previous memories just like SCP-049-2. The difference from SCP-049-2, is that SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 stay paralyzed when there is no other human creatures nearby 30m.

Description: SCP XXXX is a standard shoehorn from 1900's, sizing 40cm x 2cm x 1,2 cm.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are to be kept in a locker at Site-██ Site-33. Testing may only be authorized by personnel with at least Level 3 clearance. As of 07/01/20██, testing must be conducted weekly.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a pair of steel ball bearings, both measuring 2.5 centimeters in diameter and 67 grams in weight, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX's main anomalous property manifests when the two instances are separated by force. During the process of separation, they show little resistance. However, after SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are separated for a period exceeding 30 seconds, they will abruptly begin moving towards each other and eventually meet1. To this day, nothing is known to be able to stop this process. Both SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 have resisted any attempts at destruction. Testing is available in Experiment Log XXXX below.

Experiment Log XXXX:

Experiment XXXX.1

Items used: 2 glass jars, with a small hole drilled in both of them.

Procedure: SCP-XXXX were separated and inserted into the jars

Results: SCP-XXXX began circling the outline of the jars until they reached the hole, exited the jar, and met up.

Experiment XXXX.2

Items used: 2 glass jars

Procedure: SCP-XXXX were separated and inserted into the jars

Results: SCP-XXXX repeated the behavior it displayed in Experiment XXXX.1, until it reached the top of the jar, when it began rapidly rotating and rebounding off the walls of the jar at high speed, until the jar shattered and the instances met up.

Experiment XXXX.3

Items used: SCP-184, large cardboard box, 2 miniature cameras, attached to SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2

Procedure: Miniature cameras were attached to both SCP-XXXX instances. SCP-184 was inserted into the cardboard box, and, after 24 hours, SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 were inserted.

Results: Camera footage showed both instances rolling around the box seemingly at random, tearing through any walls in their way. After 2 minutes of this action, they suddenly began gaining speed and rotating faster, destroying the miniature cameras in the process, until [REDACTED]. The box was destroyed, letting SCP-184 and SCP-XXXX be recontained.

Addendum XXXX.1: After a large-scale containment breach at Site-██, the on-site nuclear warhead got activated, leveling the site and sending SCP-XXXX flying in opposite directions. SCP-XXXX circled the Earth multiple times, eventually meeting back in Site-██. Their collision caused a ██ kiloton explosion, leveling the site and neutralizing at least ███ anomalies in containment and causing SCP-XXXX to be transferred to Site-33. After 12 hours, SCP-XXXX-1 was reported to vibrate against SCP-XXXX-2, causing heat buildup. Due to this, testing is now required weekly to keep SCP-XXXX from breaching containment by melting its containment chamber.

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-5934 is to be kept in a secure locker in the Secure Storage Area of Containment Site-177.
Testing can only be permitted after authorization by two Level 3 4 personnel.
All 5934-1 instances that did not originate from testing are to be terminated, preferably before Stage 2 of the anomalous effects.

Description:
SCP-5934 is a sheet of standard printer paper, with the word 'indeed' written in the middle. The paper itself is not anomalous, as it is still able to be cut, and can be written on. See test logs for more information. The anomalous properties of 5934 manifest when a entity who has seen, understood, and has spoken the word before reads the word 'indeed' on the paper. This entity is now designated 5934-1. The first stage, known as Stage 1, will render the entity incapable of speech, besides saying the word 'indeed'. After about 10-15 minutes, the subject will enter Stage 2. Stage 2 is a manifestation of the following symptoms. (These are the only symptoms that have appeared, there may be more.)

  • (SYMPTOM 1) 5934-1's, hair, if any, will spontaneously combust. If the subject has no hair, subject's head will combust.
  • (SYMPTOM 2) 5934-1 will begin repeating the word 'indeed' until they die of dehydration and/or hunger.
  • (SYMPTOM 3) 5934-1 will return to normalcy for 5 minutes, then will have it's eyes turn purple.
  • (SYMPTOM 4) 5934-1 will become immobile, and unable to do anything that involves moving muscles.
  • (SYMPTOM 5) 5934-1 will return to normalcy.
  • (SYMPTOM 6) 5934-1 will grow extra limbs, being mostly arms and legs, but in some cases will gain [DATA EXPUNGED], and proceed to attack all directly organic targets in sight. 5934-1 will gain unusual endurance, being able to lose many vital organs before dying.

5934 was recovered from a school in Kolkata, India, after an agent embedded in the school saw one of the children's hair catch on fire for no apparent reason. Another child read the paper, and began repeatedly saying "indeed,". The agent recovered it and folded the paper to prevent any more exposure.

The following logs are the most valuable ones, where many symptoms occurred for the first time.

FingerGun

D-XXXX hand after weaponization from SCP-XXXX-1

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are contained in a Safe Storage Locker located at Site-XX. Level 2 personnel and above can access the locker, however a researcher needs be present when doing so.

Testing of SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 must be carried out at the site's firing range under supervision from one or more guards.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 are sheets of A4 paper with hand-written instructions on it authored by an unknown person. These instructions detail a series of steps to perform a kinetoglyph which would allow the user to weaponize their dominant hand. A symbol representing Leonardo's Vitruvian Man is present on the bottom-right corner of both pieces of paper.

On the 6th of September, 2020 an agent embedded within the Australian Army notified the Foundation of possible anomalous activity within Lavarack Barracks in Townsville, QLD. The agent was instructed to investigate and one week later sent back the following report and a containment case containing SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP Foundation Investigation

Clearance Level 2
Report #: XXXX
Investigator: Level 3 Agent Colonel Jim Smith
Location: Lavarack Barracks, QLD
Date of Report: 13th September, 2020

I arrived at Lavarack Barracks at 1600 hours to meet with a commander of the 3rd Brigade. Meeting in his office, I was informed of an incident that occurred in a cadet’s bunk room.

According to reports, gunfire was heard and the guards on duty quickly responded. Arriving at the bunk room they found all four cadets clutching their hands crying out in pain, with one appearing to have fainted. There were blood splotches on the walls and bedding, with bone embedded in some of the impact areas. The cadets were transported to the infirmary while an investigation was undertaken.

The investigation revealed no gun in the room, nor were there any missing weapons from the armory. No one was in the firing range either. Cadets in an adjacent bunk were tasked with cleaning the room where they discovered a document with instructions for a kinetoglyph resulting in two additional injuries. Fellow cadets transported them to the infirmary, as well as handing the document to their commander. I received the document from the commander and have locked it in a containment case.

Listed below are the injuries sustained by the six cadets:

  • Cadet Steve Bradbury: Right index finger removed, affected area shows no evidence of a finger ever being attached.
  • Cadet James Miller: Right index finger dislocated.
  • Cadet Lachlan Muir: Left index finger knuckles appeared to have exploded.
  • Cadet Lucas Sharp: Right index finger removed, leaving a bloody stump.
  • Cadet Alex Johnson: Left index finger appears to of been shredded.
  • Cadet Tom Chapman: Left index finger splayed apart.

After a thorough analysis of the scene I determined there were no further anomalies present. Gamma-5 assisted with the administration of amnestics and creation of a cover story2.

Interview Log XXXX.1

The following is a transcribed interview between Agent Colonel Jim Smith and Cadet Steve Bradbury.

Interviewee: Cadet Steve Bradbury

Interviewer: Agent Colonel Jim Smith

Smith: (Clears throat) My name is Colonel Jim Smith and I am conducting an interview with Cadet Steve Bradbury in response to the incident that occurred on the 6th of September. The current date is the 8th of September. Can you please state your name for the record?

Bradbury: Uhhh, my name is Steve Bradbury. Sir.

Smith: Thank you. Now, you and your fellow cadets suffered various hand injuries that currently have no explanation and I was hoping you could shed light on what happened.

Bradbury: Um yes, sure thing Sir. We’d just finished our shifts for the day when we arrived back in our bunk room. Alex was the first to notice it, there was an envelope on the table labelled ‘Body Weaponization Test 3’. He brought it to our attention and we assumed that it was a prank by some of the other cadets or higher ups.

Smith: I assume that’s why you didn’t bring it to the attention of your CO?

Bradbury: Yes Sir…Am in trouble Sir?

Smith: No. Please continue

Bradbury: Yes Sir. Alex opened the envelope and in it was a folded piece of A4 paper with ‘Hand Weaponization’ at the top. Below it were a variety of hand drawn and written images and text describing an apparent way to shoot your index finger. We all had a bit of a laugh at it, and thought why not give it a go. I mean what was the worst that could happen (Nervous Laughter).

(10 seconds of silence)

Smith: If you are alright, can you please recount what happened next. With as much detail as possible.

Bradbury: Yes, sure thing Sir. It took us about a minute to follow the steps, it looked like a weird dance. The final instruction was to point your finger like a gun and say ‘BANG’. So we lined up, faced the wall and said ‘BANG’. Gunfire was heard and the other cadets suddenly screamed in pain clutching their hand, blood was everywhere. I was disorientated from having 3 lots of gunfire happen right next to me so I didn’t notice anything had happened to my hand until we got to the infirmary.

Smith: Did it hurt, was there any pain?

Bradbury: No Sir. Sometimes I get a phantom feeling of my finger being there, but the medics told me that is expected to happen and should hopefully fade over time. I am still in shock about any of this occurring, will my buddies recover?

Smith: They will. James only had a dislocation and Lucas’ finger also was removed like yours, though it was painful for him. The other’s will require amputation unfortunately.

Bradbury: Oh…ok. What is going to happen to me and them now?

Smith: That is still being decided. I assure you will not have to wait for long to find out.

Bradbury: Thank you. Sir. Do you need to know anything else?

Smith: No. That will be all for now, I appreciate your cooperation.

Addendum XXXX.1: On the 3rd of March, 2021 a series of robberies occurred in Rotorua, NZ. Witnesses described the suspect as using their finger as a gun, apparently shooting their nails at high speeds. Agents tracked down the suspect to an apartment block. After apprehending the suspect, an investigation of their apartment revealed that they had recently returned from Papakura Military Camp in Auckland. A piece of paper was also discovered containing instructions for ‘Hand Weaponization’ with a symbol on the Vitruvian Man in the bottom-right corner. The piece of paper has now been classified SCP-XXXX-2.

The author of SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 has been classified as POI-XXXX and Foundation efforts are currently underway to locate and contain them.

Not So Lucky Triple Sevens

"I'm telling you", said Vulture. "GOC rations almost saved my life once."

Wheels rolled her eyes. The other operatives ate and listened.

Vulture continued, "So, my old team's in the Urals, tracking down these proto-Sarkic nutters. Big CK reality shift from this artifact they're making. Doesn't get us, but gets our cache of spare supplies. We exfil on foot, grab our stuff, and the first bite of an MRE entree, we spit out, it's all pillbugs. Tiny ground pieces of pillbugs, barely visible. If the MREs weren't designed this way, we would have eaten it. They were that small!"

"But then you ate them anyway," said Generous. "And that's why they call you Vulture."

"And that's why they call me Vulture," exclaimed Vulture. The Arab woman jabbed a finger wrapped around a half-empty MRE. Her full mouth did not seem to impede her speech.

Around the circle of four GOC operatives, a purple-blue sunset sky kissed distant, gray mountains. The plains of Sonora, Mexico stretched out with light sandy soil and gray-green shrubs. In the distance, some distant bird of prey shrilled, perhaps in triumph, perhaps in dismay.

Vulture said, "But think about it. We determined the bugs were not poisonous or anomalous, and it was our only food at this point. It was two and a half days' climb back to extraction. What would you have done?" Vulture asked the three other operatives.

"Go hungry."

"Go hungry."

"Yup."

Vulture sneered, unbefitting her ladylike appearance. "Well, nothing came of it. It was the right call. But still, I've been Vulture ever since. How about you? Did you guys have old call-signs?"

"Something like that." said Generous. She put a hand to her round, tan features. "Well, it's a good question. As the leader, I'll start. Before the GOC, they nicknamed me ‘Tigress’ because I developed this way to leap onto hostiles with a knife. Dropped them on the spot, nice and quiet. Of course, that was when I was young and limber. I try it now, and I just crush people- far less effective."

She said it without shame, and no one dared tease the short, muscular woman for it.

"Alright. Wheels? You wanna go?" asked Generous.

In response, the lithe, dark-skinned woman brushed a hand along her short curly hair. "I uh… okay, well, you guys are going to laugh … but in Eurtec, I was 'Squeaky'."

"Squeaky," said Vulture.

"Yeah. Because I complained so much." said Wheels.

"Gee, I can't see why. ‘Wheels’ is somehow worse, though." said Vulture.

Wheels waved an MRE pastry, threatening to send errant crumbs everywhere. "Look, they put those fucking car toys there on purpose! I was operating on two hours of sleep!"

"Ha!" said Noface. The young, reedy man leaned forward. "Wow, 'Squeaky'! I was LEN in the Serpent's Hand. Short for Little Eater of Names, for the same reason you all call me Noface. The 'Little' is because the real Eater of Names wouldn't like it otherwise."

"I see. I might as well share an embarrassing secret so Wheels doesn't get Squeaky on us." deadpanned Generous. "See, there's a bar-friendly origin story for every unflattering call-sign. That's what I told you guys."

"That you're 'Generous' because you waste ammo?" asked Wheels.

"Have you seen me ever waste a bullet?" said Generous.

"No…" said Wheels.

"My first team named me Generous… for my chest," said Generous.

Noface turned red and tore his eyes away from Generous's face and upper body. Vulture laughed.

Wheels stuttered, "Wait, what!?"

"The GOC was a lot less enlightened in the early 2000s. I punched someone over it. Then I got a reduction. I'm contrary like that." said Generous.

"It could be worse, my old team's first try was 'Porky'," said Vulture.

"'Porky'?" asked Wheels.

"Ex-Muslim," said Vulture. "Our CO told them 'fuck no', so they went with Vulture."

"I still think we should have gone with 'Serpentor' for Noface," said Wheels.

Vulture grunted out her enthusiasm.

"I still think 'Cobra Commander' would have been funnier. But no, Region Command has that policy against call-signs too indicative of background. So Noface was for the best." said Generous.

"For the best." sighed Noface. "I left the Serpent's Hand behind me. For good. I hope."

"So, this parathreat," said Wheels. "When are we finally going in?"

"Never, I hope," said Generous. "We have another night. Maybe our parathreat will show its true face soon. Noface, you did say 72 hours is thaumaturgically significant?"

"Yeah. Three days show up the most often in rituals. It's rarely two, four or five, or even a week. Always three, for some reason."

"Well, there you have it. GOC SOP and thaumaturgy agree. Three days to see if the parathreat does something interesting before we go in." said Generous.

"Yeah, ugh. I hope this is a false alarm. We haven't seen anyone inside. Even through drone footage. I'm not exactly excited to walk into something that makes people disappear." said Noface.

"It's not a false alarm," said Generous. "Satellite intel is clear on this. Twelve locals went in and never came out. Then their homes got haunted, for lack of a better word."

She gestured to a shack on the horizon. It appeared as if someone scaled up a mortarboard hat, turned it into wood, and called it a house.

"This is why the GOC hates structural parathreats", said Vulture. "They're dangerous as hell. Half the time it's not even the building itself, but the location, so there's not much we can do."

"I've been to a dozen controlled demolitions back in Strike. Very boring. Plant disintegration charges, go over a big-ass checklist, wait until it's over." said Generous. "Not satisfying like shooting Bixbies into spaghetti, or sharing 40 mm with anomalous wildlife."

"The worst is when we have to tip off the Foundation and let them wrap it up. Hate to say it, but they're best suited for this kind of thing," complained Vulture.

"Agreed," said Generous. "Just like they like to ring us up in case of a Large Scale Aggressor."

"Oh man, I got to see a UHEC in action once!" blurted Vulture. "Like watching gods fight!"

"Three times, for me. It is intense beyond intense," said Generous. She pointed with an empty MRE wrapper at Wheels and Noface. "You kids are missing out."

"Yeah, I'm going to pass on anything crazy enough to warrant a giant mech," said Wheels.

"Yep." agreed Noface. "So… should I run Field Ritual B9-73 again?"

Generous's eyes swept the three operatives, noting they long since finished eating. "Good idea. Dinner's over, let's get in some more scans, then a good night's sleep before we head in."

Generous woke up to find herself standing up, rifle ready.

Her sudden movement startled the skinny rookie whose voice woke her.

"Ah! Geez!" gasped Noface.

"What's the situation?" Generous demanded.

"Vulture's missing!" he whispered.

Generous nudged Wheels with her foot. Wheels crawled up to attention with less grace and more groaning than Generous.

"Wha- what is it?", mumbled Wheels.

"Vulture's missing. Check the sensor array. Noface, what did you see?" said Generous.

"Nothing! Normal night, nothing moved. Suddenly, I look over you guys, and Vulture's just… gone! I tried calling her, nothing." said Noface.

"Did you look in IR? UV? VERITAS?" asked Generous.

"Yeah! Couldn't find her," exclaimed Noface.

Generous scanned the Mexican chaparral and saw nothing but shrubs and stars. "First step, Noface, secure the perimeter. Cover my back while we talk. Composite vision mode, just in case. Wheels, report what you got."

"Still sifting through history", said Wheels, eyes deep on the HUD in her helmet. "Not even minor events. No motion sensors tripped, no unexpected light changes, all sound levels within expected. Vulture's life sensors are on and still in tac-net radius."

"Is this how the parathreat makes people disappear!?" asked Noface. The skinny mage swiveled his gaze around. "It makes no sense! Vulture's got the highest cognitive resistance score of us! It couldn't have compelled her to walk away!"

"If she walked away, the motion sensors would have gone off. Look for signs of a CK reality shift. Or other terrain alteration." said Generous. "Wheels, eyes on the parathreat structure. You see anything weird, we have to know."

"It still looks like a run-down shitty shack," said Wheels.

"It's disappeared thirteen people now," hissed Generous. "I do not want to give it more! Eyes forward and wide open."

"Roger, wilco," muttered Wheels. The three operatives began to walk to their fallback point, rifles ready. They covered each other's movements and backs. Their footsteps made almost no sound even in the dry scrubland soil. A chill wind murmured as if to warn of danger ahead.

"I have a theory," said Wheels.

"Shoot", said Generous.

"Parathreat may have carried her up and off, motion sensors are only reliable up to 8 meters' radius."

"Damn it. Hadn't thought of an aerial perimeter. She could be anywhere by now." grunted Generous.

"Are we sure there wasn't a CK?" asked Noface.

"She's alive and around here. We can deal with any other implications later. Okay, we're at a secure spot." said Generous. "Keep covering me."

The other two operatives nodded, presenting their weapons to the cold night air.

Generous's eyes made the gestures on her HUD to open her radio.

"Control, this is Assessment Team 777 'Fingertip'," said Generous. "Fingertip 1 speaking, Fingertip 2 MIA, unknown cause. Do you read me?"

Silence. The side of her screen descended into noiseless static.

Generous continued, "Control, this is Fingertip 1. I say again, Fingertip 2 MIA. Please respond."

Silence.

"Control, please respond." Generous sighed. "Fingertip 1 to Fingertip 2… Vulture. This is Generous. Are you there? Respond."

Silence.

"Vulture, this is Generous, please talk to us. Are you alright?"

She finished waiting and turned to her team. "Signal's perfect, Control's not responding, neither is Vulture. Looks like it's up to us."

She reached out to empty air and tore off a piece of the night sky. The fabric in her hands reflected and distorted the light around it. A close-topped, armored jeep now stood where it had been.

"The drone didn't see anything if that's what you're thinking," said Wheels.

Generous reached into the jeep. Noface and Wheels backed up behind her, guns outward.

"Not last time," said Generous. "We'll try again. I am not stepping in a haunted house blind." She took a basketball-sized quadcopter from the jeep into her backpack. She moved to help Wheels cover their position. "Noface, get the rest of your thaumaturgic supplies. Everything. We aren't going back."

Noface nodded and turned to the jeep to retrieve a large dark gray assault bag. He took Generous's place on guard as she moved back to the vehicle.

"My turn again. I'm getting the laser designator," said Generous.

"What? What for?" asked Noface.

"You know what happened to 'Clover', the previous Assessment Team 777?" said Generous.

"Uh…" said Wheels.

"Do I want to know?" moaned Noface.

"They got wiped inside a parathreat that duplicates rooms," said Generous. "Called in a fuel-air bomb at their location, died gloriously. The least we can do if we fail is take the anomaly with us."

"That's a little much. Does it even work indoors?" said Noface.

"Oh, I know firsthand: like a charm," said Generous.

"Firstha-" sputtered Wheels. "Ugh fine. You and your hard-on for the Fivefold Mission."

"But we can't raise Control." Noface pointed out.

"We can at least tell GOC spy sats where we died. The bomb will come after that," said Generous.

Noface shuddered.

"What a lovely thought." murmured Wheels. "Anything else to grab before we charge into hell?"

"I'm good," said Generous. She checked her rifle and let its bolt snap shut.

"Yeah, me too," said Noface. He slipped a ritual knife into his sleeve.

"Alright. Let's go find Vulture," said Wheels.

The shack looked exactly as non-threatening as before.

"VERITAS still shows the parathreat as transparent. No life signs inside" said Wheels. "Still looks the same in IR, not enough UV at night to see anything."

"What are you doing with the designator?" Noface asked Generous.

"Sending a message to the spy sats in Morse," said Generous. She clicked the flashlight-like device on and off in staccato. "I'm hoping this will get their attention. Wheels, send in the drone."

"Way ahead of you, it's going in," said Wheels.

The quadcopter buzzed through the dry, dark air and the shack's open window.

"Yeah, nothing. Still empty of anyone. Only one room, flooring, and furniture." said Wheels.

"Alright, let's head in. Keep the drone going." said Generous.

They kicked open the door and surged in. The interior looked the same as the drone's view: dusty, wooden, and unpainted. The quadcopter hovered in place as if to say "I told you so".

"Damn," said Generous. "Look for hidden compartments or tunnels. Every cabinet, every floorboard. 'Nitohaz filters up, composite vision."

"Roger, Gen." the two junior operatives chorused. The team got to work inspecting the shack's crude construction and beaten-down furnishings.

Generous said, "Noface when this is over I want a ritual B-72 for dimensiona- uhhhh, what the fu-"

The three operatives found themselves standing on familiar grounds. Trimmed, low bushes lined the sidewalk. Outlines of austere military buildings blocked out small parts of the starry sky. Orderly rows of bollards and trees bracketed the roads.

"Huh. This looks like… " said Wheels.

"Stay alert. GPS says… huh. We're actually in Fort Sinker, Nebraska. Right outside the barracks. Yeah, we were sleeping here five days ago." said Generous. She gestured at the familiar building they stood outside.

"Might be a CK shift," said Noface.

"Maybe we teleported," suggested Wheels.

"Control? Control, please respond," said Generous. "Still nothing. Stay alert, this might be a dimensional shift."

An alarm blared.

"Oh fuck!" said Wheels. "Base security must have picked up our sudden appearance!"

"Double-check your IFF!" said Generous. She checked her HUD to confirm she was marked "Friendly" on any GOC tactical network.

"What if they're unfriendly?" said Noface.

"Then we're going to die anyway. We aren't evading base security, even on a good night," said Generous.

An armored car's headlights shone over the road and overwhelmed their night vision.

"We surrender! Friendlies! Do not shoot!" yelled Noface, laying down his rifle and putting his hands on his head. Generous and Vulture followed his lead. "Assessment Team 777 Fingertip! Do not shoot! We were suddenly brought here when-"

When their eyes and HUDs adjusted, the car seemed to be empty. Light beams with no source started sweeping across the three operatives' vision. They stood there in silence.

"What the heck? It pulled up. Who's driving it?" asked Wheels.

"Maybe this is a dimension where Fort Sinker has self-driving cars?" replied Noface.

"Whoa," said Wheels as she stumbled. "I think something pushed me."

"Where are those lights coming from?" mused Generous. The light beams swirled around as if confused.

"Hm… well, stay where we are. We don't want to alarm base security with sudden mov-" Something made Generous lose her balance.

"Yeah, still nothing in VERITAS or IR. UV's at night is a lost cause, but… no, still nothing," said Wheels.

"I'm trying too. Still nothing." said Generous.

"Maybe a field ritual? I know a few that can tell us which dimension we're in," said Noface.

"No ritual, we'll set off even more alarms…. wait a second… I think I know what's going on!" exclaimed Generous.

GOC base security searched for unseen intruders, sweeping with their tactical lights.

Sergeant Eber said, "Teleportation alarms picked up something here. Three human-sized masses. They say it hasn't moved, but… be careful."

Private Gognitti seemed to jolt. "Whoa I think something pushed me!" she yelled.

The alarmed soldiers pointed their rifles near the shouting woman.

"Not seeing anything," said Private Greenberg.

"Get your goggles on, switch to composite vision, it might be invisible," said Sergeant Eber.

"Roger that….still nothing."

"Let's get Sec Three and Sec One on the horn ASAP. Form a perimeter, I don't want it backtracking to us."

"Control, I lost the rest of my team on tac-net! Noface, Gen, Wheels, they just… disappeared!" yelled Vulture. She tromped around the Mexican plains where she had seen her team last.

"Damn it. Fingertip 2, do you have visuals on the parathreat?" replied Mission Control over the radio.

The frustrated, sweaty operative tilted her head at the parathreat.

"Door is open. I don’t know when, I swear it was closed ten seconds ago and I was looking at it the whole time," said Vulture.

"Fingertip 2, do you see any signs of a CK shift or thaumaturgy?" asked Control.

"VERITAS is still dead quiet, no EVE flare-ups anywhere," said Vulture. "Should I enter the parathreat structure?"

"Fingertip 2… we have… negatory. Do not proceed. Fingertip 2, stand by for further instructions."

Vulture grunted and kicked a rock as hard as she could. She busied herself looking for clues and wondering what the hell happened.

"I think I got something solid!" said Noface. He held onto something that felt like empty air, but his fingers resisted closing all the way. The other operatives stopped their attempts to grab at thin air and turned to look at him.

"Hey! I can't… move my arm," said Private Greenberg, struggling against an unseen, unfelt grip. Only the other base guards heard him.

The others grunted in alarm and pointed their searchlights in Noface's direction.

"You know what? Prep less-lethals, I want to try something," said Sergeant Eber.

Noface felt his vision explode and he fell to the floor twitching.

Generous kneeled to inspect her spasming teammate. "Yeah, that looks like a bog-standard Class C Electrosubmissive."

"Oh my God, Noface!" said Wheels. She rushed to their downed comrade.

"Don't touch him, you'll get zapped too," said Generous. She stood up to restrain Wheels. "Remember, it's a lot safer than a civilian Taser. He'll act like it never happened in a couple of minutes. We've confirmed we're dealing with people we can't perceive in any way. I know what to do."

"Okay, that stopped whatever was grabbing you. Probably antimemetics, to keep us from noticing it. Way beyond our pay grade. All units, fall back." said Sergeant Eber. The graying, mustached soldier put his hand to his headset and followed his soldiers' retreat.

He said, "Sec Two to HQ, do you copy? Our intruder is antimemetic. I recommend we pull automated defenses in, make the perimeter airtight. How do we know? Took a blind shot with a Class C E-sub. The munition disappeared into thin air but halted the anomalous activity…. Roger that, Sec Two out."

"Ahhh!" said Noface. He stretched like a cat. "Best sleep I had in months. What happened?"

"You got tased," said Wheels. She busied herself writing on a notepad.

"Tased?!" yelled Noface.

"Class C E-sub."

"Oh. Huh, it's rather pleasant."

"Do it enough and you get memory problems. Don't get ideas." said Generous. "Okay, we're good to go?"

"Yeah. That should do it," said Wheels. She put down the paper.

"What are you guys doing?" asked Noface.

"Staying clear. Come on, let's move away from the jumpy base guards," said Generous. She watched the jeep, as if of its own accord, back up and drive away. "They're pulling out, which means we'll see reinforcements soon. MOVE IT, Noface!"

"Okay okay!" said Noface, pulling himself off the ground.

"Well, I'll be damned," said Sergeant Eber. He scanned the perimeter. His men pointed rifles in the general direction of the threat.

"Sir?" said the soldier next to him.

"HQ says drone scanners pick up three… friendlies. Right over there," said Eber. He pointed at thin air not far from their position.

"Friendlies, sir."

"Yep. But they don't show up on the drone visuals either."

"Well, that explains a lot. Should we worry, sir?"

"Just in case, let's- wait, do you see that? On the ground right there?"

"It's GOC field stationary, sir."

"Yes well, I can fucking see that, private! Move up and read it for me! All units, stay alert."

"Yes sir… It reads, 'We are friendlies, GOC Assessment Team 777 on an operation to Sonora, Mexico. We were transported here upon entering a parathreat structure. We are from dimension 2719-C.' "

Sergeant Eber growled, "Yeah, definitely beyond our pay grade. HQ, are you getting this?… Oh, that's our dimension? Thank fuck! Should we stand down?" He paused. "Roger that."

Eber turned to his soldiers. "Looks like this is a problem for specialists now. Keep a perimeter up, keep up the drones going, let's be sure our guests don't wander off."

Two days later

All Miguel Rodriguez knew for sure was that his throat hurt from shouting. One house after another was empty. Row after row, street after street, not a single human being.

House lights went on and off. Cars vanished and appeared in driveways when he looked away. Yet he had not seen another moving creature anywhere. No amount of shouting or wailing produced any response. On the phone, in houses, anywhere. The wayward environmental inspector wasn't sure where the hell he was. Ever since he had stepped foot in that stupid shack in the desert. Was this a dream? It was far too long to be a dream. He forced himself to walk through abandoned Mexican suburbs. He couldn't contemplate giving up the search for his wife and three boys. But his feet hurt, his throat hurt… he didn't know if his body would let him continue.

After so many weeks of silence, he startled and spun around when he heard voices. He rushed into the strange soldiers' arms, heedless to whether they meant to harm him. He figured either would end his nightmare.

The American woman in strange gray military armor gently pushed him away. "Hello, I believe we are looking for you. What is your name?" she said in halting Spanish.

"I'm… I'm Miguel Rodriguez. Thank God you're here! Everyone's vanished!" he replied in a hoarse voice. "You are the first person I've seen! Thank God! What the hell happened here!? Are you from the government?" He fought the urge to sob in her arms.

Wheels stammered at the rapid barrage of Spanish. She listened to a translation from her headset and cautiously addressed each of his questions.

The two other operatives hung back while Wheels handled the civilian.

"You don't speak Spanish, Gen?" asked Noface.

"Heck no," she replied.

"But you're from-" objected Noface.

"Brazil. Where we don't speak Spanish."

"No, I mean, you said you used to work on Brazil's borders. Surely you used a little Spanish?"

"I know some very simple basics. 'May I use your phone?', 'Where is the nearest town?', 'One step closer and I'll blow your fucking head off!'"

"That's a basic phrase?!" asked Noface.

"In our line of work? You better memorize and practice it," replied Generous.

Vulture interrupted over their comms. Her voice sounded distant and garbled over special memetic filters, but at least they could hear her now.

"She's right, " said Vulture's voice. "Any country, any language, that's going to be in your top ten."

"Unbelievable," said Noface.

"Less believable than an antimemetic effect that keeps you from perceiving anyone else? And vice versa," said Vulture.

"I can't say that, no. Which civilian are we even on?" said Noface.

"This guy would be the tenth of twelve. Well, the fourth we've found alive." replied Generous.

"Poor bastards."

"Yeah, this guy's lucky he didn't wander into traffic that he can't see."

"We're lucky we didn't do that," said Noface.

Generous pointed to a drone hovering over them.

"We have a bit of help. Anyways, once we get the civilians accounted for and amnesticized, then PTOLEMY will get us fixed up."

Noface sighed. "Yeah. I dunno, I'm just glad we lived through this. I want to see the parathreat blown up though."

"So do I," said Generous.

"Alright, exfil in five!" Wheels shouted to them and gave a thumbs up. Miguel sobbed in relief on her shoulder.

“Not too bad for a first mission,” said Noface.

“Could have been a lot worse,” agreed Generous.

“Can’t wait to see you guys again!” said Vulture’s voice.

The operatives chuckled softly and waited for pickup.

Specific Concerns

  • Is there a better title I could use? I'm somewhat at a loss for better.
  • How/where can I build more of a sense of place? Or is it unnecessary?
  • How much sense do events make? Is the pace too fast? If so, where could I put explanations that don't bog down the story too much?
  • Are there too many red herrings in characters' speculation about the anomaly or is it appropriate?
  • Is there sufficient closure or is the ending too abrupt?

Observation Site-04

Assigned Site Site Director Research Head Assigned Task Force
Observation Site-04 Jean Aktus Dr. Elongee Williams N/A
Display Archived Containment Procedures

Updated Containment Procedures: There is no known method of effectively containing SCP-X-B due to its nature and location. All space agencies3 have obligated to conceal information regarding SCP-X from the general public. Personnel stationed at Observation Site-04 are to monitor SCP-X-A and -B for activity. In the event SCP-X-A ceases to function or fails to counteract SCP-X-B, all Foundation facilities are to enact emergency protocols in preparation for an XK-Class "End of the World" scenario.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation number given to 2 anomalous humanoids located outside of Earth, referred to as SCP-X-A, and -B.

SCP-XXXX-A is a humanoid entity currently situated above America, approximately 130,000 km from Observation Site-04. Its facial features and gender are indistinguishable due to the light aura emitting from its body. SCP-X-A can produce radio transmissions as a form of communication; despite this, no reports of anomalous transmissions originating from SCP-X-A have been detected by the general public. The only record of this occurrence was when Observation Site-04 received a transmission from an untraceable source.

SCP-XXXX-A also is capable of manifesting two-dimensional ellipsoid rifts4 towards all incoming threats towards itself or Earth. However, the results of entering the dimensional pockets, the exact range of manifestations5, and the full scope of this anomalous property is pending further research. Previously, this anomalous trait was utilized to remove any asteroid nearby Earth. This directive, however, was changed to counteract the threat of SCP-X-B.

SCP-X-B is a humanoid covered in layers of metallic material around its body, located 100,000 km away from Jupiter. Despite its distance, it does not appear to be pulled into Jupiter from its gravitational pull. It is capable of launching any object within its vicinity to any location of its desire. How this is achieved is unknown, though is theorized to be caused by gravitational manipulation. Due to this anomalous capability, SCP-XXXX-B has been responsible for numerous reports of asteroids hurtling towards Earth.

However, SCP-XXXX-B is only capable of performing this type of action once or twice every day, depending on the size and mass of the asteroid in question. As of writing, SCP-XXXX-B has not been able to perform this type of action on any planetary body, believed to be that the mass of the planets in question are too great for SCP-XXXX-B's anomalous ability.

History: SCP-X-A has been known to the Foundation since the mid 18th century when astronomers witnessed an irregularly shaped spectrum of the light-emitting near Earth. Information suppression efforts were successful in concealing the anomaly from the general public. No incidents occurred until 23/7/2003 when NASA and Observation Site-04 detected an asteroid approximately 1000km in length6 heading towards Earth at high speeds.

Below is a log detailing the incident.

INCIDENT LOG-XXXX-01

[15:03]: NASA and Foundation Observation Sites detect Ceres heading towards Earth at high speeds. SCP-179 is seen motioning its right arm towards Ceres.

[15:04]: Personnel within Observation Sites immediately inform Overseers of the discovery.

[15:05]: Overseers unanimously declare an impending XK-Class scenario and orders all Foundation personnel to enact preparations for the event.

[15:06]: Ceres is 450, 000km away from Earth.

[15:07]: By vote 13-0, Overseer Council orders personnel at Area-69 to activate Protocol LAST HOPE7 against Ceres.

[15:08]: Personnel at Observation Site-04 report witnessing SCP-XXXX-A pulling its right arm behind its back before pointing it towards Ceres with its right-hand palm open. This causes a two-dimensional rift to manifest.

[15:09]: Ceres is 370, 000km from reaching Earth.

[15:10]: Ceres then enters the two-dimensional rift. Its current status is unknown.

[15:11]: Personnel at Area-69 informs Overseers of preparations of Protocol LAST HOPE's activation before being ordered to standby and await further orders.

[15:20]: Overseers conclude XK-Class scenario has been averted. All preparations for the scenario in question have ceased.

END LOG

Notes: For secrecy reasons, all personnel below LEVEL 5 clearance or those not assigned to Observation Sites have been misinformed that the declaration of the XK-Class scenario was a "test". An investigation was ordered by the Overseers to locate the cause of the incident. Based on research and multiple observations, SCP-X-B was discovered.

SCP-3141-A

SPC-5436-A instance captured during Exploration Log-01

Item #: SCP-5436

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5436 is contained in a standard item storage unit in Site-17. Readings of SCP are only allowed during experiments, and no photos may be taken. Only personnel with positive feelings in regard to exact sciences may handle SCP-5436 unless otherwise specified for an experiment. Access to SCP-5436’s file is restricted under a Level 2 security clearance, and every test needs to be authorized by the project’s Head Researcher, currently Elisa Borges.

Experimentation with SCP-5436-A and SCP-5436-B is to be conducted in a standard medium security testing chamber. Test personnel must include at least two armed guards and one researcher skilled in mathematics, engineering, or physics. No D-class personnel are allowed to enter SCP-5436 regardless of their background. All researchers chosen to enter SCP-5436-1 must be strongly invested on their current projects and be highly loyalty to their work and to the Foundation.

Any non-Foundation personnel that come in contact with SCP-5436-A or SCP-5436-B are to be administered amnestics and released. All objects affected by SCP-5436 must be apprehended by the Foundation to be stabilized and later returned to where their place of apprehension. Stabilization procedures are comprised of exposing the affected book to subjects with positive feelings towards exact sciences until SCP-5436-A instances stop exiting SCP-5436-1.

Every person seen exiting SCP-5436-1 is to be given amnestic treatment and released as close as their last location as possible.

Basic supplies containing noodles, grain, fruits, vegetables, and water for ██ people are to be delivered to SCP-5436-2 monthly.

Description: SCP-5436 is a one-hundred-page college textbook titled “Advanced Guide to Multi-Variable Calculus and Four-dimensional Geometry.” written by Rosalind Hunter and Amalia Dubois. SCP-5436 is the only entrance to SCP-5436-1 that will not be neutralized by the already described stabilization procedures. Written contents do not deviate from its non-anomalous counterparts. Handling and reading it in a relaxed state will also cause no anomalous effects.

SCP-5436 can affect mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering textbooks. It will open an entrance to SCP-5436-1, from which SCP-5436-A instances and SCP-5436-B will exit. SCP-5436 can detect a person’s negative emotions and overall thoughts about the textbook’s subject. If it determines that the subject is interested in the above-mentioned topics and that they are struggling, suffering, or overall stressed with their work, SCP-5436-A instances and SCP-5436-B will materialize on the subject’s immediate vicinity.

SCP-5436-A instances are aggressive entities that originate from SCP-5436-1. SCP-5436-A’s size varies between 10cm to 5m, and they are most commonly found on the 40cm and 1m range. Usually, one to three instances exit SCP-5436-1 per reader. SCP-5436-A’s instance appearances vary widely. Studied specimens resembled big cats, cartilaginous fish, plants, and diverse types of beasts, such as dragons and gryphons. An entity’s aggressiveness has been observed to be directly related to its size and form: while an SCP-5436-A instance that resembles a rose will be mostly harmless, the same cannot be said for a dragon-like entity. SCP-5436-A’s appearance will depend on SCP-5436’s readers amount of distress. The more stressed the reader, the more dangerous is the SCP-5436-A entity.

After exiting SCP-5436, SCP-5436-A instances will attack the subject violently until they are subdued by physical force. If the subject is unable to subdue the entity, SCP-5436-A will drag it into SCP-5436-1. When subdued, SCP-5436-A will turn into a paper folding of the original creature that, when opened, contains exercises related to the textbook it originated from. When the problem is correctly solved, SCP-5436-A’s paper folding will reanimate and act with docility, from this point on, they are considered tamed. If the subject cannot solve the questions contained in SCP-5436-A, a swarm of dragonfly-like paper pieces will come out from SCP-5436 and drag the subject into SCP-5436-1. Accounts describe the process as disorienting, but in no way harmful.

SCP-5436-B is a middle-aged humanoid entity that exits SCP-5436 after SCP-5436-A instances are physically subdued. It claims to be SCP-5436-1’s first resident and only professor, responsible for his students’ learning and well-being. It will aid with SCP-5436-A’s solving, if requested, but will not interfere if subject fails. SCP-5436-B is SCP-5436-1’s maximum authority. It is responsible for the division of tasks between SCP-5436-1’s residents, for keeping the food stocks supplied, and for teaching and helping his students with solving SCP-5436-A’s contents. During Interview-01, SCP-5436-B claimed to be Professor Nicola Wegner of ██████ University. It claimed to have been writing its Ph.D. thesis on the graphical representation of four-dimensional functions when it entered SCP-5436-1, and that it owned its thesis success to all the work it did whilst in SCP-5436-1. SCP-5436-B can be summoned by asking it for help through SCP-5436. The professor will then exit the book unaccompanied. After learning about the problem’s nature, SCP-5436-B will discuss a price for a solution with its summoner. Every request will invariably involve entering SCP-5436-1. The professor’s request include but are not limited to:

- Cooking a meal.

- Organizing the library’s books.

- Cleaning the dishes.

- Taming and solving SCP-5436-A instances.

Experimenting with SCP-5436-B has found no anomalous traces or abilities.

SCP-5436-1 is the pocket dimension accessible through SCP-5436 and its influenced books. It consists solely of ███████ University and its adjacent facilities, such as housing, laundry, and sport courts. During SCP-5436 recovery it has been determined that SCP-5436-1 does not affect the original University and is, instead, a copy. An MTF consisting of hard sciences experts has been commissioned to explore SCP-5436-1. A total number of ███ students, as SCP-5436-B calls them, are currently living in SCP-5436-1. They were dragged into SCP-5436-1 after failing to tame the SCP-5436-A instances that attacked them. All students display a passionate interest for exact sciences and claim to be staying on SCP-5436-1 out of their own accords. Their origins and languages are diverse, and testing has shown that SCP-5436-1 possesses a language filter, that makes all the listeners hear each other’s speech in their native tongues both on real time and on recordings. This effect does not extend to written language.
