Eternal Ethernet

Item #: SCP-5XXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5XXX is to be contained in a 3m cube room with a pedestal with SCP-5XXX on it. The room is to be negatively pressured to keep all particulate out. The room will also be fitted with a magnetically locked door. The room is to be guarded by 2 guards, one at the door and one watching cameras of the chamber.

Description: SCP-5XXX is a one (1) meter long blue Cat6 Ethernet cable. The cable resembles a standard consumer ethernet cable except for it's anomalous features. The anomalous features present with SCP-5XXX is that, whatever device it is plugged into, will be connected to the full internet even without being connected to an internet access point. The reaches of this ability are still being tested.

SCP-5XXX was discovered after webcrawlers found a Gamers Against Weed chat room (See Addendum-20509) and MTF Mu-4 (Debuggers) was able to raid the residence of PoI A████. Once the raid was complete SCP-5XXX was brought back to Site-██ for initial testing.

Currently attempts of recreating SCP-5XXX for use as long range communication to remote foundation sites are ongoing. Tests using SCP-5XXX on experimental Foundation spacecraft ████████████ show promising signs if SCP-5XXX can be replicated.

Addendum: PoI A████ was detained during the raid and taken into Foundation Custody for questioning of both SCP-5XXX and the GoI of Gamers Against Weed (See Addendum-20512-15 for interview logs). PoI A████ was compliant with the Foundation and was able to be released after Class-B amnestic was used. Software was uploaded to PoI A████'s computer that allows the Foundation to access chat logs. Recruitment of PoI A████ as a double agent is possible in the future.

Addendum-20509: The following is the chat log of Gamers Against Weed members that lead to the discovery of SCP-5XXX

In Chat: Sup3r_G4mer, xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx

Date and Time: 9/5/20, 1800-1847 UCT

Foreword: Foundation webcrawler's dedicated to watching Gamers Against Weed were able to access the chat room by using [REDACTED]

<Beginning of chat, 1800 UCT>

Sup3r_G4mer: Hey xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx

xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx: Yes?

Sup3r_G4mer: You know how I complain about lag all the time?

xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx: Lmao yeah?

Sup3r_G4mer: I decided to fix it, and you won't believe how

xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx: Let me guess, gitting gud at MW2?

Sup3r_G4mer: No, but I bet you I could destroy you at that

Sup3r_G4mer: 1v1 me on Rust, Intervention 360 no scopes only

xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx: Alright, only after you tell me how you fixed your "lag"

xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx: Did you finally use an ethernet cable after we kept telling you?

Sup3r_G4mer: Ye, but I got a special one, I never seem to lose connection

Sup3r_G4mer: Even if I unplug it from my router

xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx: Lmao ok, I totally believe you

xXx_n00bScop3d_xXx: I have the lobby set up btw

<End of Chat, 1847 UTC>

Closing Statement: After reviewing the chat logs, MTF Mu-4 (Debuggers) was sent to the residence of "Sup3r_G4mer" (PoI A████) and found SCP-5XXX

Addendum-20512-15: The following two logs are transcriptions of questioning with PoI A████. The first log is questioning for information about Gamers Against Weed and the second log is questioning about SCP-5XXX specifically

Interviewed: PoI A████

Interviewer: Agent S█████

Foreword: Interview to gain more information about the GoI Gamers Against Weed, interview conducted 3 days after the raid. PoI will be referred as A████ for this transcription. Agent S█████ will be referred as Agent S for this transcription.

<Begin Log>

Agent S: Agent S walks into the interview room and sits down

A████ you are here because of your connections to the group Gamers Against Weed, which you are a part of yes?

A████: Haha yeah I guess I would say I am part of that, why? Did you want to join?

leans back in the chair he is sitting in, almost falling backward

Agent S: No, however, we would like some more information about this group, and you can help us in that by cooperating with us. All we need is names of members you know and how you make items with anomalous properties.

A████: Well

long pause

What's in it for me if I give you this information? Do I get too be on a team of some super secret double agents? A stable job? Healthcare?

leans foreword

Agent S: If you give us the information we need, we can guarantee your safety and return to a normal life. You can imagine what will happen if you do not cooperate.

motions towards the D class personnel quarters that are nearby

A████: panicked

Ok! Ok! Ok! I'll give you information! Just please let me go after please!

Agent S: Good

hands A████ some paper and a pen

<End Log]>

Closing Statement: A████ gave the Foundation names of members apart of the group Gamers Against Weed. A████ was not able to give information on how objects were made.

Interviewed: PoI A████

Interviewer: Researcher Amy

Foreword: Researcher Amy, who is tasked with research into SCP-5XXX, is to question PoI A████ about SCP-5XX. PoI will be referred to as A████ for this transcription. Researcher Amy will be referred to as Amy for this transcription.

<Begin Log>

Amy: Amy walks in, carrying SCP-5XXX, and puts it on the table close to her

to the recording device

This is Researcher Amy questioning PoI A████ for more information about SCP-5XXX.

to A████

A████, please tell me what properties you know of for SCP-5XXX.

A████: All I know is that for some reason, even after unplugging it from my router, it had my computer connected to the internet fully

makes motions of unplugging with his hands

Amy: Where did you acquire this cable?

looks at SCP-5XXX

A████: Well, I bought a standard ethernet cable from the store, and then I remember after plugging it in, it just didn't work!

Amy: So, what did you do next?

A████: I remember being mad, since I paid 6 dollars for the cable. I swore then unplugged it from the router, but it was still connected to my computer.

Amy: Is that when you figured out your computer was still connected to the internet?

A████: Well first I got a second cable since they came in packs of two, but that one worked as a normal cable would. Then I plugged the other one into my computer and was able to search the internet before I plugged in the other end

Amy: Did you do anything to that cable specifically?

A████: Not that I remember specifically….no

looks to be trying to remember something

Amy: Alright that is all

Amy gets up and leaves the room with SCP-5XXX in hand

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Upon return to the residence of PoI A████, a sweep of the apartment showed no other anomalous items. How PoI A████ made SCP-5XXX is unknown and research into the item is inconclusive.

Footnotes

1. The Hegelian school of history and millenarian religious movements being the most prominent examples

2. EX: Newspapers, high-traffic Internet websites, and popular music.

3. Some researchers speculate this objective is responsible for the invention and sudden rise of egalitarian social ideologies such as Marxism in recent years.

4. Please refer to Addendum A-3 for more information.

5. Since the anomaly's first appearence in the 5th Century BCE, there are a combined 1200 years for which the anomaly's whereabouts can not be accounted. These time gaps, as well as previous hosts whose ideological contributions to the anomaly are inconclusive, have been omitted for brevity.

6. The humanitarian cost of Swidden Events can not be overstated. Conservative estimates of the casualties of all suspected Events amount to between 90,000,000 to 110,000,000 lives, discounting the casualties of wars of conquest waged by host societies. -Project Lead Paxton

7. At the Hartford Riot, several workers invited to work despite the strike (called scabs by strikers) were murdered. There is no evidence there were plans to do so before the strike started.

8. This is believed to describe an ideological switch.

9. Queen Henrietta's reign.

10. Usually involving animal/blood sacrifices.

11. King Johnathan's reign.

12. No power source is visible.

13. To catch excess blood from rituals.

14. [A friend wanted to become an SCP]

15. Pronounced “keṯer”.

16. Pronounced “kēter”.

SCP-6661-5 using its "Unnatural fog" ability.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6661's are to be contained at site-95 in a semi open enclosure approximately 8x8 square kilomters, with approximately 13 security cameras within every square kilometer. The enclosure is too resemble a "Rocky Larch forest biome." (As per request by a majority of SCP-6661.) All SCP-6661 are to be brought into humanoid enclosures at least once a month for attendance, therapy sessions, interviews, and medical check-ups by on-site personnel. If SCP-6661 does not comply, a small dispatch team will be sent into the enclosure to retrieve any and all SCP-6661 with non-lethal force. If any specimens of SCP-6661 are terminated (either purposefully or accidentally) the remains of the specimen are to be brought to [REDACTED]. As of right now the only personnel allowed to conduct interviews with specimens of SCP-6661 is Dr. Duval and her assistant Dr. Roza.

Description: SCP-6661’s are typically hostile shape shifting anomalies that have the capability to change between two forms. Their preferred form varies from specimen to specimen, but most specimens of SCP-6661 can be found residing in their primary form. Switching between forms takes anywhere between 2.5 to 7.5 seconds, these changes between forms not only changes their anomalous abilities, It also changes their attitude, age, and on rare occasions their appetite. While transitioning threw forms, SCP-6661’s bone structure becomes very unstable causing them to become vulnerable. Thus based on pure instinct a majority of SCP-6661 will not change forms unless they feel comfortable with their current environment.

Their primary form can be identified as a Canis lupus campestris (Steppe wolf) with several exaggerated skeletal features; having bones protrude through their skin and fur acting as a makeshift exoskeleton. While in in there primary form they act extremely similar to a stereotypical Steppe wolf, with only minor differences to their behavior and hunting patterns. While in their primary wolf form an "unnatural fog" will typically linger around SCP-6661. This fog corrupts any photographic or recorded evidence of SCP-6661’s existence, causing SCP-6661 to typically appear as a blackened silhouette surrounded by fog in every possible photo and recording of them. Their primary wolf forms are also strictly nocturnal, causing SCP-6661 to become extremely fatigued during the day time while in this form. While SCP-6661 is asleep their body will seemingly vanish and not return until nightfall or sunset, regardless on what form they are in. According to interviews with specimens of SCP-6661; when their pack falls asleep they will all partake in a "Dream state". While in this dream state they are able to communicate, eat, and even receive minor injuries.

Their secondary form is a humanoid wolf hybrid that usually keep one or two wolf-like features including but not limited to: tails, ears, teeth, and fur. Normally SCP-6661's are incapable of distinguishable speech. However while in their secondary human forms most specimens are capable of speaking broken Russian, Korean, and English. Besides wolf-like features and movements, SCP-6661’s human forms are non-anomalous.

Discovery: At 03:22 AM On 2019/08/10 Mobile task force Beta-4 was sent out about 21 kilometers south of ██████, Russia, To investigate an explosion located in the local forest, a pack of SCP-6661 was then accidentally discovered near the site of the explosion. And under further investigation it is now believed the explosion was a security breach of a rogue SCP facility not belonging to the Foundation. In which the pack of SCP-6661 was being held captive there, and was possibly being weaponized for unknown purposes.

Addendum: As of right now there is only 1 pack (10 specimens) of SCP-6661 on record. However it is heavily insinuated that there are many more not in the foundations custody. Investigations are currently underway on the current whereabouts of these presumed specimens.

Hey there so I just got word back from that MTF that wound up capturing the pack and I think I may or may not have figured out where they came from. Maybe we can get some lunch sometime and discuss? Or like a coffee since you don't seem to be a fan of that whole "eating" thing. Also have you seen my back-up tooth brush? I cant find it anywhere…

INTERVIEW(S)

Interview#: 2/13

Date Interviewed: 2019/09/01

Interviewed: SCP-6661-3

Interviewer: Dr. Duval

Foreword: Approximately 27 hours After test 1-C (A.K.A "Throw to the wolves")
SCP-6661-3 decided to transform into his secondary humanoid form and approach the entrance/exit to his enclosure, in attempts to have an interview to receive some answers for questions he had, In return he was willing to answer some of are own questions.
Dr. Roza and two armed guards we're on stand-bye in the other room.

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. Duval: Good morning,um.. SCP-6661-3….. I'm sorry for the number but I don't know your name just yet and protocol says that I have to state your number…May I have your name?

SCP-6661-3: Dean.

Dr Duval: Ok, "Dean" Do you mind answering a few questions?

SCP-6661-3: Not at all. As long as you answer mine.

Dr Duval: I don't think that's obeying protocals but since you're helping me, I'll let it slide.

(Dr. Duval smiles at SCP-6661-3. SCP-6661-3 seems unamused.)

SCP-6661-3: May I go first?

Dr Duval: Of course Dean.

SCP-6661-3: Where are we?

Dr Duval: You are on currently in site-95, a place owned by the SCP Foundation where we help out people like you.

SCP-6661-3: What do you mean “people like me”?

Dr Duval: Well anomalies like you. Some are human, some are objects, others change forms and shapes like you and your pack.

SCP-6661-3: I see.

Dr Duval: Is your pack ok with the enclosure we gave you?

SCP-6661-3: We would like to just be free but…well it's better than the cages.

SCP-6661-3: None right now.

(Dr. Duval writes something down while nodding)

SCP-6661-3: How do you expect us to hunt the animals in a walled in forest? they will die out eventually.

Dr Duval: We place animals in there. Live ones of course. We would like to keep a somewhat normal habitat for the pups, and if it's alright with you, We would also like to do check ups with all of you. To make sure you are all healthy.

SCP-6661-3: Well I am not the one that decides that. You will need to talk with Ezekiel.

Dr Duval: …Ezekiel? …Is that your alpha?

SCP-6661-3: Yes, He is our alpha. He is the reason we are alive.

(SCP-6661-3 looks down somberly)

Dr Duval: Are you ok Dean?

SCP-6661-3: I am fine.

Dr. Duval: Do you have any more questions?

SCP-6661-3: Not yet.

Dr. Duval: Can you please go into more details about the "cages"'?

SCP-6661-3: There really isn't much to say. They didn't feed us. They Beat and muzzled us. They separated us. Then they ended up forcing us to breed…And those who didn't comply…where killed.

(Dr.Duval writes down one final note and looks up at SCP-6661-3)

Dr. Duval: Dean. If this is too much we don't have to go on.

SCP-6661-3: Ok.

Dr.Duval: Thank you Dean-

(Sounds of thrashing and violent bone cracking can be heard as SCP-6661-3 returns to his primary form. He is then personally escorted back to his enclosure by Dr. Duval and Dr. Roza.)

Notes from Dr. Roza: Judging from the interview with SCP-6661-3, a lot of my previous theories on what GOI got a hold of them are starting to fall flat…At first I thought it was the Serpent's Hand or the GOC but I don't think either of them would go out of their way to beat, breed, and even kill an entire species of SCP…I know it's not my job to try and figure out who did this but…I don't know…I just hope we were able to recover ALL of the SCP-6661’s for both the sake of the foundation and the species as a whole.

Ash has been very specific with her preferences and beliefs, as well as the preferences and beliefs of most of her pack. She does not take very kindly to the foundation, so interviews and tests have been scarce.

Quinzel

INTERVIEW(S)

Interview#: 1/13

Date Interviewed: 2019/08/17

Interviewed: SCP-5657-8

Interviewer: Dr. Roza

Foreword: This interview was hastily conducted after SCP-5657-8 transformed into their secondary human form for the first time, Dr. Roza quickly began the interview while their supervisor Dr. Duval, Observed from the other room. No other staff was on stand-bye.

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. Roza: -Um, Good evening SCP-5657-8! How are you feeling today?

(SCP-5657-8 waits a long while before responding)

SCP-5657-8: What are you speaking too?

Dr. Roza: Um, I'm speaking to you…

SCP-5657-8: …Then why did you refer to me as a number?

Dr. Roza: Oh! Well we refer to all anomalies here as their Identification numbers for organizational and professional reasons, Um I wasn't aware you were humanoid…

SCP-5657-8: Anomalie? Humanoid? Wh- just refer to me as Saltun.

Dr. Roza: Sorry SCP-5657-8, But for the record I have to refer to you as your identification number, which is SCP-5657-8.

SCP-5657-8: Why not just call me by my name? Are you trying to knock my species down a peg further so we are lower than you in this world!?

Dr. Roza: Um no! I was just- To be perfectly honest the foundation wasn't even aware that you were humanoid until now! I mean no disrespect, I'm just trying to do my job….are your other pack members also humanoid? And if so are they able to change freely between humanoid and wolf like forms like yourself?

SCP-5657-8: Humanoid? Are you trying to say humans? Can I please talk to someone who knows English? animyeon hangug?

Dr. Roza: Um I'm sorry, let's start over…My name is Dr. Roza, and you are?

SCP-5657-8: …Doctor? Wait…ARE YOU WITH THOSE ASSHOLES THAT HURT MY FUCKING PACK!?

(Cracking of bones and tearing of flesh can be heard as SCP-5657-8 Begins to turn back into their primary wolf form. Shortly after, viscous growling and snarling can be heard followed by intense barking.)

Dr. Roza: SCP-5657-8! Calm down! We aren't the bad guys! We rescued you to attempt to help you and your pack! Please calm down or you will be detained!

(SCP-5657-8 doesn't seem to calm down and is now approaching Dr. Roza. Dr. Duval then quickly enters from the other room holding her hands up between Dr. Roza and SCP-5657-8.)

Dr Duval: Saltun! Please stand down! We don't mean you any harm…We are the first hand faculty that saved you and your pack… Including your pups!

(SCP-5657-8 growls for a few moments longer, but eventually backs away.)

<END LOG>

Notes From Dr. Duval: After Dr. Roza's attempt to talk with our elder of the pack; SCP-5657-8 also known as Sultan, became very hostile after discovering Dr. Roza's credentials, bringing back bad memories of his pack being injured and or almost killed.. but when i had entered he seemed to calm down, knowing we were only trying to help. Dr. Roza will not be doing any interviews with Sultan again. Next time, we will have them interview the females and the pups.

Valkyrie

Item#: 5657-9

Name: Valkyrie

Gender: Female

Pack order: Runt

Description: SCP-5657-9 also known as "Valkyrie" is approximately 151 years old. She is right now the oldest runt in the entire pack. Valkyrie is surprisingly mature for being still classified as a pup. Her Primary wolf form is an above average sized Steppe Wolf pup, With a several ribs protruding threw her fur. Her secondary humanoid form is a 10 year old Caucasian female with Russian decent, As of right now her only wolf based trait in her secondary form, is a wolf tail.

DATE: 23 Mar 2021 07:18

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, an individual affected by a previous iteration of the anomaly.

Special Containment Procedures: There are no known means to contain SCP-XXXX. However, its uncontained status is not apparent to the public, nor does it compromise containment of other anomalies. For these reasons the Foundation's present policy is coexistence with the anomaly in a fashion beneficial to the Foundation.

Suppression of evidence describing the anomaly is unnecessary unless it describes SCP-XXXX related artifacts or the anomaly's direct mental effects. Several influential schools of thought already describe teleological views of history without describing the anomaly directly.¹ The activity of these movements constitutes an adequate cover story for the anomaly's effects on history.

All Foundation agents attached to the leadership of national governments are to remain on watch for a sudden shift towards trait-opennenss or towards a belief in egalitarianism. If this shift is accompanied by the sudden appearence of an anomalous artifact near the leadership without any plausible explanation, they are to report to the Directing Commitee for further instructions.

With respect to Foundation operatives working within the government of the United States, if the Directing Committee suspects a Swidden Event is underway, Foundation operatives are strongly encouraged to prepare the government for a discrete Foundation takeover until civilian rule can resume.

All SCP-XXXX related artifacts are to be stored at Site-77 in the anomalous items wing at a minimum distance of 30 meters from each other. Following the 11/05/2014 incident, interaction between related artifacts is forbidden except for the purpose of discovering new artifacts.

To determine the existence of other SCP-XXXX related artifacts, anomalous items from Foundation safe sites are to be loaned to the Directing Committee for cross-testing with already-established related artifacts. Items are to be brought into proximity of related artifacts and the resulting reaction measured with Kant counters. If no reaction is registered the item is to be cleared.

Keyword Detection Crawler D11-17 "Shibboleth Snooper" is to scan the content of major newspaper outlets for appearences of memetic ideological switches catalogued in Addendum B-3. In the event of a sudden shift in the results of national opinion surveys in the United States without any apparent cause, the field experiment unit headed by Dr. Jacobi is empowered to conduct studies on selected news-following civilians to determine the new ideological switch prior to amnesticization.

A combined majority vote of the O5 Council and Directing Committee approves Containment Protocol Airbrush. This protocol is intended to isolate and interdict the display of all known ideological switches. Foundation agents imbedded in newspapers as well as Internet web-crawlers will isolate and pre-emptively censor known switches to curb the anomaly's influence. However, as this method can not be employed for long without drawing attention, this protocol is not to be kept in place for longer than 36 months before a more permanent solution is designed and implemented.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an intangible, incorporeal, and omnipresent force that has been guiding human social and political development since before the beginning of history. The anomaly's primary effect is its ability to introduce ideas related to democracy and individual liberty into the minds of political and ideological leaders of selected societies. Although the anomaly is capable of exerting its influence over a maximum of 20 individuals at once, it is only capable of influencing one society at a time. How these societies are selected is not known.

The anomaly's secondary effect is its ability to mass-invent memetic ideological switches, memetic agents intended to covertly persuade individuals towards the anomaly's goals. These switches take the form of inocuous expressions that when read in full induce a change in attitude or values in the reader. The effect rarely bears any relation to the literal meaning of the expression in question.

At present, ████ instances of these memetic ideological switches have been identified, comprising approximately █% of all commonly-used expressions in the English language. The switches have minimal effect individually as each one can only communicate a single idea, as well as the fact that repeated exposure to switches reduces their power. Foundation researchers conjecture the purpose of these switches is to build popular support for the anomaly's ideology.

An example of an ideological switch invented by the anomaly, edited so as to immunize the viewer against its effects.

As time has gone on, the anomaly has shifted its focus away from planting ideas related to its goals in the mind of the elite leadership classes. It is at present focused on persuading the majority of the population towards its goals directly through the mass employment of the ideological switches described above. This is achieved by exposing these switches to the creators of popular media.²

As the anomaly's primary effect only allows it to directly influence a limited number of individuals at a time, this ideological switch method allows the anomaly to circumvent this limitation by redirecting its efforts away from political leaders towards individuals in the fourth estate. Whether the anomaly's implementation of this method within the past 110 years indicates that it is capable of learning, or sentient, is still under review.

All evidence indicates the anomaly is responsible for both the invention and spread of the ideas of consensus-based government and democracy. There is no evidence of these idea finding acceptance in societies not under the anomaly's influence. There is likewise no evidence that these ideas have been able to undergo change or adapt without the anomaly's interference.

The current holder of the anomaly is believed to be the United States of America. Previous holders include multiple Chinese imperial dynasties, the Roman Republic, and the nation of France.

The anomaly's origin is not known, nor have any means been discovered of communicating with it. It is unknown if the anomaly is conscious of its existence or actions, or is merely executing pre-programed commands by rote without any awareness of itself. Based on the political development of the anomaly's previous hosts, Foundation researchers conjecture the anomaly is attempting to create a permanently stable society embodying democratic ideals. Based on the writing of past host individuals, Foundation researchers speculate this would constitute a society:

• Which encompass the entire Earth and all its human inhabitants.
• Which pursues universal literacy.
• Which is governed by a constitutional republic, with universal franchise for all its inhabitants.
• Which upholds the rule of law, and promotes the law to be more powerful than any other institution.
• Which seeks to abolish unnatural arbitrary distinctions between individuals, advocating for egalitarianism.³
• Which organizes all major economic sectors, especially those considered to be of social importance, into guild-like "corporations," with representation for each corporation in the national legislature.⁴

What will become of SCP-XXXX once it has achieved its goals is unknown.

Some elements of the O5 Council and the Directing Committee contend it is in the interests of the Foundation to attempt to force the anomaly to vacate its present holder, the United States. These elements maintain that a Swidden Event is likely to occur in the next twenty to thirty years, and this necessitates the Foundation attempt to locate and establish influence with the anomaly's next host. Opponents to this view contend the United States is the final host for the anomaly due to the stability of its international standing. Since 08/01/2011 the Directing Committee has maintained a dedicated research team for the purpose of exploring possible means of inducing the anomaly to shift societies, as well as exploring candidates for this future host.

The anomaly converts an existing personal effect of its initial human host into an anomalous artifact every time it switches host society. All known instances of these anomalies have been benign and unobtrusive in nature, typically conferring time-saving powers and not changing the physical form or functioning of the artifact in question. These artifacts are interpreted as the anomaly indicating its favor to its new host.

Physical damage to these artifacts, including aging and wear, removes the artifact's anamalous abilities, but not its reaction to other related artifacts. When these artifacts are brought into proximity to one another, 10 meters being the minimum threshold for noticeable effects, the Hume levels of the surrounding 200 meters increases exponentially based on proximity. [INCIDENT EXPUNGED FOR SECURITY REASONS]. Testing of other anomalous items in Foundation possession has yielded an additional 8 items which demonstrate this effect, each of which correspond with historical societies affected by SCP-XXXX. Testing of the items has been limited due to the risk of permanent visual and equilibrioceptive damage when SCP-XXXX related artifacts are brought within 6 meters of each other. [INCIDENT EXPUNGED FOR SECURITY REASONS]. Following this incident, interaction between different SCP-XXXX related artifacts is forbidden, as is other testing of the artifacts except for the purpose of determining the existence of other SCP-XXXX related artifacts. If the current testing schedule is maintained, the Foundation will have checked its entire inventory of anomalous items by early 2045.

Discovery: Although the Foundation was aware of the effects of SCP-XXXX since its inception, carrying over from research gathered by the historical wing of the Foundation-precursor Estate Noir, these effects were not tied to a single source until 1987. The anomaly was not categorized as one in its own right until 1993. The existence of anomalous artifacts tied to the anomaly was not discovered until 2005, when the above incident at Site-77 occurred. The Foundation has, at present, isolated 10 artifacts related to the anomaly

+ Addenda Series A - "Legal Basis for the SCP-XXXX Directing Committee"

Addendum A-1: "SCP-XXXX Directing Commitee Founding Charter"

Notice of Advisory Committee Formation

Let it be known that by the joint authority of the O5 Council and the Ethics Committee of the SCP Foundation, a board of officers is convened for the purpose of advising the O5 Council on the effective containment and use of an intangible anomaly tentatively named "SCP-XXXX," whose influence over human society is such that the Ethics Committee judges it necessary and expedient to direct its power towards the interests of the Foundation .
This committee will be tasked with interpreting the evidence gathered by the SCP-XXXX research team and from this, present advice to the O5 Council on the available options for influencing the anomaly towards Foundation goals, and how to achieve this influence without breaching normalcy. The convened committee is empowered with unlimited access to all research generated by the SCP-XXXX research team as well as direct communication with Foundation agents in liaison with and implanted in world governments. The convened committee is also charged with compiling annual reports to the above purposes to be presented to the O5 Council not later than the last Wednesday of each December.
Enrollment in this committee automatically qualifies personnel for a Level 3 security clearance, if they did not already possess it.
The committee officers are as follows:

• Committee Chair: Senior Researcher ██████ Varma, S.J.D.
• Committee Vice-Chair: Senior Researcher ████ Fairfax, Ph.D.
• Senior Committee-Research Team Liason: Dr. █████ Koepp, Ph.D.
• Junior Committee-Research Team Liason: Dr. ██████ Rathore, J.D.
• Committee Secretary: Junior Researcher ███████ Paxton, B.A.

+ Addenda Series B - "SCP-XXXX Supplemental Material"

Addendum B-1: "Abbreviated Timeline of Previous Holders of SCP-XXXX"⁵

Time Elapsed: 5th Century BCE - 4th Century BCE
Society, Designation: Nanda Kingdom, SCP-XXXX-A
Associated Anomalous Artifact: SCP-XXXX-1, jade comb that when used provided one with "insights." Broken and therefore inert but still extant, currently in Foundation possession.
Ideological Contribution: Many principles of centralized government pioneered by the Nanda were adopted by their successor, the Mauryan Empire, which in turn influenced the successor states of the Macedonian Empire following Alexander III “The Great” Argead’s death.

---

SCP-XXXX-3 at time of recovery.

Time Elapsed: 121 BCE - 37 CE
Society, Designation: Roman Republic, SCP-XXXX-C
Anomalous Artifact: SCP-XXXX-3. Ceramic vase of typical make from the time period. The inside of the object is decorated with gold foil 0.00004 centimeters thick and .007 centimeters wide. Every 150 days, the writing on the interior of the vase reconfigures to depict the anomaly's most recently invented ideological switches. The object is currently broken into 37 shards, with approximately 5.5% of the vase's mass being missing. Last confirmed reconfiguration of the artifact is dated to April of 1920, despite the vase already being broken before then. Currently in Foundation possession.
Ideological Contribution: The Roman Republic's society and government are massively influential on modern ideas of liberalism, constitutionalism, and republicanism. The instances of illegal dictatorship near the end of the Republic suggests the anomaly may consider Caesarism a feature of its end goals.

---

Time Elapsed: 1450 - 1535
Society, Designation: Haudenosaunee Confederacy, SCP-XXXX-F
Anomalous Artifact: SCP-XXXX-7. Calcite bowl with bored opening near top, believed to have been the bowl of a smoking pipe. Presently inert. Was in Foundation custody until 2009, when a Chaos Insurgency raid on a transit vehicle approaching Site-77 led to the loss of the artifact. Current whereabouts unknown.
Ideological Contribution: The Haudenosaunee's form of government, which held principles of the legal equality of the sexes, proto-democracy, decentralization, and ethnic pluralism, is considered by project researchers to be the prototype of the anomaly's desired form of government. Their government and that of the Romans were cited as the strongest influences for the Founders Fathers of the United States.

---

Time Elapsed: 1798 - 1816
Society, Designation: Kingdom of Prussia, SCP-XXXX-I
Anomalous Artifact: SCP-XXXX-10. White goose feather quill The quill is now inactive due to damage to the nib. During its use by the German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel (1770-1831) provided him with insight into the explicit goals of SCP-XXXX. He compiled these observations into an unpublished manuscript he wrote during his time as the Rector of the University of Berlin in 1829. The manuscript went missing after his death two years later and its current whereabouts are unknown. Foundation efforts are focused on locating and recovering this manuscript.
Ideological Contribution: Prussia enjoyed little military success during the Napoleonic Wars, but the strides made by the thinkers Kant and Hegel in the development of the idea of historical teleology are second to none. Prussia's progress in this time was not military or social, but purely in the realm of legitimizing in the popular mind the idea of history moving towards a specific end (that end presumably being the goal of the anomaly).

---

Time Elapsed: 1885 - Present
Society, Designation: United States of America, SCP-XXXX-K
Anomalous Artifact: SCP-XXXX-12. Unknown.
Ideological Contribution: The United States's current position as the most powerful country in the world is without doubt due to the material and ideological benefit the anomaly provides. Ideas of liberalism and democracy enjoy their popularity across the world due to the influence of the United States, and thus SCP-XXXX-K may be considered the most successful embryo of the ideals of the anomaly. Foundation efforts are currently devoted to ensuring the continued ownership of the anomaly by the United States, although efforts are ongoing to discover a way to force it to divest from the U.S., if it were in the Foundation's interests to do so.

Addendum B-2: "Swidden Events"

A Swidden Event is a destabilizing period that follows the anomaly vanishing from a society. An Event typically begins with the disappearence of an SCP-XXXX-derived artifact. As there is no evidence any related artifacts being capable of exerting influence beyond their obvious abilities, Foundation researchers speculate that the loss of the artifact and a society's loss of the anomaly itself derive from the same source rather than the artifact itself being the source of the anomaly's effects.

The second phase of Swidden Events entails political and social disaster. In Events, the leadership of the host society exhibits mental incapacity, mental illness, and emotional instability, often resulting in the breakdown of government. These Events differ from typical losses of mental cogency in that they often follow periods of normalcy and stability with respect to the effected. An example is the lifetime of mental incapacity of the Roman Emperor Caligula following an innocuous illness as a young man. This incapacity, as well as the resulting civil strife, are believed to constitute Rome's Swidden Event.

The Foundation speculate Swidden Events constitute an act of deliberate sabotage on the part of the anomaly so as to minimize competition for the anomaly's next host.⁶

Some Foundation researchers speculate the anomaly is not aware of its own actions due to the peculiarities of some Swidden Events. The most obvious example of this is the anomaly's treatment of the Roman Empire. A survey of societies surrounding the Empire in the period in which the anomaly abandoned Rome produces no evidence of anomalous activity or sudden ideological change in leadership, indicating it passed on to a society to which Rome posed no threat as they shared no borders. These researchers suggest the anomaly does not possess sapience as an intelligent actor would not have expended the time and energy to initiate a Swidden Event in a society with no potential to hamper the anomaly's future efforts. These researchers instead suggest the anomaly is more analogous to a computer program than to a conscious being. By this model, the anomaly is executing pre-programmed commands under specific conditions rather than making decisions on a rational basis.

Given the possibility of a Swidden Event if the anomaly abandons the United States, the Foundation's containment procedures concerning the anomaly are presently focused on minimizing the potential damage of the Event to the United States. As the U.S. is currently the Foundation's single largest state partner, an uncontrolled Swidden Event would jeopardize containment for several Keter-class anomalies and could lead to a Broken Masquerade scenario.

Addendum B-3: "Catalogue of Ideological Switches Invented by SCP-XXXX"

Due to the presence of infohazardous information, this addendum is available only to web-crawler bots and immunized system administrators with Level 4 Clearance.

+ Addenda Series C - "Pre-Categorization Supplemental Material"

The following material was compiled by the Foundation before the anomaly described in this article was discovered. It has been retroactively tied to the anomaly following review by the SCP-XXXX Directing Committee.

Interviewed: Person of Interest Jeremy Coxswain

Interviewer: Foundation Investigative Agent ████ Tarnwell

Foreword: Interview conducted July 4th, 1915.

Coxswain was a leading member of the Group of Interest "Black Wildcats," a trade union for coal miners active in Arkansas from the early 1890's until the late 1930's. The GOI was suspected not only of involvement with the Communist Party of the United States of America, but also of ties to the Serpent's Hand and Appalachian Sarkicist elements. It was investigated several times by the Foundation and predecessor agencies of the Unusual Incident Units throughout the early 20th Century until its collapse following a Foundation raid on its headquarters in 1937.

Coxswain was a suspected agitator tied with the Hartford Coal Mine Riot of 1914 and was arrested in Texarkana the following year on charges of sedition and arson. Foundation elements embedded in the Texas legal system arranged for Coxswain's release into Foundation custody before he could be extradited to Arkansas.

<Begin Log,>

Agent Tarnwell: Good evening, Mr. Coxswain.

Coxswain: Right back at ya, scab.

Agent Tarnwell: Some courtesy might be in order. If it weren't for us you'd be facing the heat in a courtroom in Little Rock.

Coxswain: Oh, consider me brimming with it. I appreciate you sending me to some cell in Chicago to die a nameless death instead.

Agent Tarnwell: You're referring to the Pinkertons. No need to worry, we're actually in █████, and we don't work with them much anymore. They have a habit of shoving the blame for their mistakes onto us when we're on jobs together, makes it hard for us to make a name for ourselves when they slap ours all over their fuck-ups.

Coxswain: I didn't know the Foundation were such prime donnas.

Agent Tarnwell: So you know who we are then?

Coxswain: How couldn't I? Every year scabs like you make it harder for honest people like me to do our work. The Foundation's name is spit on from Paducah to the Library.

Agent Tarnwell: And I imagine your idea of honest work entails assaulting a Federal agent, hindering the investigation of officers of the peace, and burning down private property.

Coxswain: If freeing the workers of the world from the tyranny of wage theft and magic-hatred is your idea of dishonest work, then I have nothing to tell you that you'd believe.

Agent Tarnwell: On the contrary, we're absolutely fascinated with what you have to tell us. Let's start with how you became associated with the Black Wildcats.

Coxswain: Hah! That crazy crew. I used to run with them back before the war in Europe started. Some friends of mine knew some of their founders, then I helped do enforcement on some strikes with them, and then the relationship grew from there.

Agent Tarnwell: You talk like it was a lifetime ago; we have evidence you worked with them as recently as last year.

Coxswain: I guess it has only been a few months, but what can I say? A lot has happened for me since the New Year.

Agent Tarnwell: I'll say. Arrest for arson and manslaughter in Louisiana, wanted for breaking bail in Florida, wanted for…

Coxswain: That manslaughter charge is a trumped up invention! They'll do anything to smear the name's of people like me.

Agent Tarnwell: They don't have to; yours is tarnished as is. Let's stay on track. Did you encounter anyone displaying anomalous abilities during your time with the Black Wildcats?

Coxswain: A few, aye. Marshal Johnson the Steel-Eater, Michael Abernathy. That wasn't his actual name, it was actually something like Miklos, and Abernathy was the name of his first boss. He was from the old country and spoke language none of us could understand. But when he sang in it, oh Lord, every time he sang could heal broken legs. Or cripple them.

Agent Tarnwell: We're familiar with these names.

Coxswain: Sorry to hear it. I wish I could tell you things you haven't found out already.

Agent Tarnwell: Very comic. Try scouring that brain of yours a little harder before we do so with an icepick.

Coxswain: You drive a hard bargain Madame Agent, what's in it for me?

Agent Tarnwell: Do you have any idea how easy it would be to get your death marked down to an assassination? We wouldn't even need to blame it on the Pinkertons, there are plenty of gangs in this city eagre to have murders pinned to them. They aren't like us, they love the publicity.

Coxswain: Just promise me you'll clear my record if I give you something alright?

Agent Tarnwell: You have my word. For what it's worth.

Coxswain: I'm in your debt, ma'am. Let's see, there was this crazy preacher, Father Fordham. I always asked him what church he ran with, he had a different answer each time. One time he told me he was a Muhammedan before he led vespers, I got a kick out of that. Wouldn't surprise me if he was a Sarkicist. all jokes aside, he had something of an ascetic lifestyle that made me doubt he ran with the Mekhanites. They love tinkering with all the gadgets coming out of New York these days, and he would refuse to enter any room with a radio in it. Claimed it, quote, "intefered with his messengers."

Agent Tarnwell: What would his messengers tell him?

Coxswain: Everything, Madame Agent. Anything. He would know about trouble before it happened, every time. If there was going to be a raid on a meeting, he'd make us move locations hours before the cops busted down the door. If someone was going to get pinched, he'd come by to tell them to lay low before their place got turned upside down. He had a queer way of knowing when danger our way came. We used to think he had moles on the inside feeding him you guys' plans, but after the third missed cop raid we stopped believing there was any rational or worldly explanation for what he knew.

Agent Tarnwell: I'll remind you we don't work for the Federals.

Coxswain: Tell that to my uncle you pinched at Homestead.

Agent Tarnwell: I am not at liberty to discuss Foundation operations, even those in the last century, but I can assure you we were only there to keep an eye on the Church of Mekhane in Pennsylvania.

Coxswain: Fine by me, we're no friends of the servants of Mekhane. They care more about the tool, less about the man who wields it. Odd way of looking at the world if you ask me.

Agent Tarnwell: Anything else?

Coxswain: Fordham was probably the most fanatical of any of us. I want to help the worker, but he worships him. Wages and working conditions are my bread and butter, he thought bread and butter were worthless if, and here's another quote, "the working man's soul wasn't fed." You know how in the good book it says, "A man can not live on bread alone?" If I had to choose a phrase to sum up the Father, that'd be it.

Agent Tarnwell: He sounds about as red as they come.

Coxswain: You'd think so, but Father Fordham wasn't a man of letters. He'd never heard of Marx before I introduced him to old Karl. Even then he wasn't too interested, he told me the only prophet he needed was the one that spoke between his ears.

Agent Tarnwell: And what would his prophet tell him?

Coxswain: The Father was a strange man. As I said, he wasn't a man of letters. But he would talk about writers, thinkers, of years gone by. Hegel, Kant, Rousseau, Montesqieu. Never by name, no, but he'd talk about their ideas as if he'd proofread their work before they sent it to publish. From the way the man spoke, you'd think he was an Oxford don, but then we'd have to read jar labels to him so he didn't put rat poison on his morning bread.

Agent Tarnwell: What else did he believe?

Coxswain: He never stopped talking about giving control of the industry over to workers, and letting them sit in Congress as a brand new house to make their demands known. He was also big on giving women and colored folk the vote, I remember that. The Father was an odd man, he had opinions about things most of us didn't give much thought to.

Agent Tarnwell: Tell him I appreciate his advocacy for us.

Coxswain: You didn't strike me as a blue-stocking! Well, I will, if I ever see him again. He dropped off the Earth a few weeks before Hartford, said he didn't want anything to do with the bloodshed we'd unleash. Which is funny because we didn't go into it intending to do anyone in. I guess his powers of premonition have a soft spot for scabs.⁷ If I had to guess as to his present circumstances, I'd wager his touring and lecturing somewhere. He had a remarkable talent for oratory.

Agent Tarnwell: I'd expect as much from a preacher.

Coxswain: Not one who didn't know "a" from "b." He had the oddest way of talking to folks though, when he went up on stage he would say a few sentences in a row, nonsense stuff that didn't make any sense together, and even the iciest crowd would be tearing at their shirts within seconds. From there he had us all in the palm of his hands.⁸

Agent Tarnwell: You think it was hypnotism? Or maybe mind control?

Coxswain: No. Not the way he did it. He was never in control when he spoke, it was like he was wearing a ring fresh from the furnace everytime he went up there and only once he'd said his magic words could be shuffle it off. The Father held great sway over the Wildcats, but I wondered sometimes how much control he had of his own self.

Remainder of interview edited for brevity

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Coxswain was later released from Foundation custody, whereupon he disappeared. The only credible report of his existence after his release is the inclusion of his name in a list of the dead on the Republican side after the Battle of Ebro.
Father Fordham was not located until 1924, at which point he had taken up residence in a state workhouse in Alabama. Any anomalous memetic abilities he may have once possessed had apparently vacated him, leaving him in a depressive state. His command of memorized memetic ideological switches persisted however, and several of the agents sent to interview him were dismissed for developing radical political beliefs afterwards. After his discharge from the workhouse in 1925, the Foundation lost track of and failed to relocate him.

Addendum A-3: "Annual Report by the SCP-XXXX Directing Comittee to the O5-Council for the Year 2020"

SECURE TRANSMISSION OPENED STOP REPORT ENCLOSED STOP

To the O5 Council,
Good day, I hope the Council remains in good health and is prepared for the contents of our report for this year.

Report for the year enclosed below:

Earlier last year the state archives of Primorje-Gorski Kotar (a northern county of Croatia) opened to the Foundation following the ousting of Chaos Insurgency agents embedded in the county government. The Insurgency was apparently using its political leverage in an attempt to gain access to an anomalous item , a pair of cufflinks belonging to former county-resident Gabrielle d'Annunzio (1863-1938), of poetic and oratorical fame.

When worn they allow one to become effectively invisible. One can speak directly with others and ask them questions, yet when one leaves their direct line of sight they forget about the wearer. The effect is the same with respect to video recordings. As you will recall, the Foundation was quite interested in preventing this item from falling into the hands of the Insurgency, and we energetically lobbied the county government to cease patronizing the Insurgency.

After we recovered the artifact and began exploring the county archives this last February, some disquieting events unfolded.

Gabrielle d'Annunzio, first holder of SCP-XXXX-13.

The first is that the cufflinks passed through Site-77 on their way to our safe object storage site in the United States. While in storage they interacted with the SCP-XXXX related artifacts stored there. Sure enough, when tested formally we discovered the cufflinks belong in the long line SCP-XXXX-created artifacts.

At this point, one might ask why the table of SCP-XXXX holders was not updated to reflect this discovery. The reason why is that the cufflinks were of Italian make, and belonged to no other known holder besides d'Annunzio. D'Annunzio never visited the United States. We realized at this point that this means means that during his adult life, there was another host to the anomaly which existed contemporaenously with SCP-XXXX-K, the United States. This brought our entire methodology into question, and we considered it necessary to pursue the problem to its conclusion before updating any official documentation.

After stripping down the research team to ensure opsec, we pursued this problem for about four and a half months. The involved researchers were appropriately amnesticized or terminated following the presentation of their results to the Directing Committee, copies of which are available in writing upon request. We have created an updated table based off their research for your eyes only.

A revised edition of the table seen in Addendum B-1 can be found below, with corrections in blue.

Time Elapsed: 1885-1919
Society, Designation: United States of America, SCP-XXXX-K
Anomalous Artifact: SCP-XXXX-12. Unknown.
Ideological Contribution: The United States's current position as the most powerful country in the world is without doubt due to the material and ideological benefit the anomaly provides irrelevant. Ideas of liberalism and democracy enjoy their popularity across the world due to the influence of the United States, and thus SCP-XXXX-K may be considered the most successful embryo of the ideals of the anomaly another successful link in the chain of societies bearing the anomaly before the chain was broken. Foundation efforts are currently devoted to ensuring the continued ownership of the anomaly by the United States damage control. although efforts are ongoing to discover a way to force it to divest from the U.S., if it were in the Foundation's interests to do so.

---

Time Elapsed: 1919 -1924
Society, Designation: Free State Fiume, SCP-XXXX-L
Anomalous Artifact: SCP-XXXX-13, referred to above.
Ideological Contribution: Society aborted prematurely.

A timeline of the life of SCP-XXXX-L can be found below:

1. September 1919: Gabrielle d'Annunzio enters the city of Fiume, recently seceded from the crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire.
2. December 1919: President Woodrow Wilson suffers a stroke, believed to be the U.S.'s Swidden Event. SCP-XXXX-13 appears in d'Annunzio's possession.
3. January-March 1920: D'Annunzio drafts a constitution based around the principle of universal access to music. As well, d'Annunzio organized all major economic sectors, especially those considered to be of social importance, into guild-like "corporations," with representation for each corporation in the national legislature. These corporations functioned as democratically-run trade unions with representation in government. The upper house of the legislature would be elected democratically, the lower would be made up of representatives elected by each of the corporations. The term, as used here, does not correspond to its typical use in post-WW2 political science.
4. December 1920: After an Italian naval bombardment, d'Annunzio leaves Fiume. He passes ownership of SCP-XXXX-13 to the garrison commander of the city, who in turn passes it to the next elected leader of the city, Ricardo Zanella.
5. January 1924: The Kingdom of Italy under Benito Mussolini and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia agree to partition the territory of the Free State, destroying the government thereof and forcing its leadership into exile. SCP-XXXX-13 is lost in the chaos of the demise of the city's government, only to reappear in 1937 in a museum in the city.

Due to the termination of the Free State's government before it could achieve legal stability, and thus have solid ground on which to execute the anomaly's objectives, the anomaly's efforts were interrupted for the first time in known history. Never before to our knowledge has a society imbued with the anomaly been destroyed before it manifested the anomaly in full. SCP-XXXX-L is thus considered to be an aborted society.

As of this report there is no evidence the anomaly has reappeared anywhere else in the world.

The ideological switches engineered by the anomaly are still in effect as of the present, but are losing their potency as the public develops mental resistance to them. As no new switches are being created, the anomaly's influence in the world wanes every year.

Given our findings for this year, the Committee's recommendations are that the Council:

• Not change the containment procedures or other documentation of the anomaly so as to not raise alarm.
• Permit the Committee to slowly siphon staff from the anomaly's main research team until no researchers remain except in name, a "Potemkin's team." The project itself must stand, although the only real research to continue under its auspices will serve only to discover if the anomaly still exists. Choice researchers from each of the teams slated for closure will be funneled into this new project to pursue this purpose.
• Maintain the standing orders to the remainder of the Foundation with respect to the anomaly. All reports to the effect of a reappearence of the anomaly are to be relayed to the Council and the Committee with all haste.
• Accelerate the search for SCP-XXXX related artifacts to ensure completion by 2029 by the latest.
• Scale back the efforts to steer the ideological and moral development of the United States. From this point, only efforts to ensure social and legal stability in the U.S., as well as ensuring its amenability to Foundation interests, are necessary.
• Restructure Foundation efforts towards ensuring world stability and the continuation of normalcy, rather than preparing for the end of history.

The Committee furthermore recommends that if by 2030 no evidence is found to indicate the reappearence of the anomaly, SCP-XXXX's object class is be recategorized as Neutralized and the final research team closed.

Based off the example of Rome and the Haudenosaunee, as well as the rate of decline in the potency of the remaining ideological switches, the lingering material and social success conferred by the anomaly is expected to persist for approximately 150 years after the anomaly's disappearence. Since this disappearence occurred in the early 20th Century, the world has until the middle of the 21st Century to make all necessary preparations.

Once this grace period is up, the Foundation must be prepared for the universal and permanent collapse of all existing democracies and the reversion of all societies to pre-anomaly forms of government.

I trust the Council will speedily come to a consensus on what the plan is moving forward, and is ready to adapt Foundation objectives as the situation requires.

I remain sincerely yours,
Dr. Bernard Paxton, Ph. D.

The Suk Clan

Imaka Suk, the figurehead of the Suk Clan and former Inspector of the Council of Broken Promises.

GOI-105-1, GOI-105-2, GOI-105-3, GOI-105-4, and GOI-105-5 identify themselves as the "Suk Clan," a clandestine organization composed of Imaka Suk and his four descendants, all former Foundation personnel. These former personnel are identified as Imaka Suk, Shi Suk, Sakata Suk, Seto Suk, and Heki Suk.

Since date ██/██/2038, the S.C.P. Foundation has tracked Imaka Suk, Sakata Suk, and Seto Suk to the City of Dorimel, now destroyed. Shi and Heki Suk have been presumed dead until date ██/██/2042. The current location of the Suk Clan is decommissioned Site-29.

To date, the Suk Clan has not posed a threat to the S.C.P. Foundation and has been labeled a peaceful Group of Interest. Foundation attempts to contact the Suk Clan through indirect means have failed. Investigation GOI-006-001 headed by Agent ███ has located connections between GOI-006-001 "Nobody" and GOI-105.

The New Neko

Peace Negotiations

Sakata Suk, often handles diplomacy for the Suk Clan.

"You know, I should charge you extra just for making me drive halfway across the god damn city for this," Niagara's voice was loud and clear through the phone.

"It'd be easier if you didn't change precincts," I throw back at him. My feet shuffling across the ground as my eyes continue to scan the area, "I see one SUV due North."

He chuckles, "10-4, ETA 3 Mikes. And try not to kill anyone before I get there."

"Copy, we'll do our best," I smirk as the phone hangs up. I look down, sliding my phone into my inside pocket, watching the SUV park on the side of the road. Perfectly between the lines.

The passenger side door opens first, an unfamiliar man with a beautiful suit holds his MP7 close. As he steps out, two more men pile out from the back, wearing the same suits and carrying the same weapons. From the shadows of the backseat emerges John-Robert. The men shut the doors as Robert buttons his deep navy blazer. Like soldiers in formation, they walk in perfect sync.

"Well if it isn't my favorite silver-haired youngster," John exclaims as his arm branches outwards to shake.

"Long time no see, old man," I tease, firmly gripping his hand.

He grins, "Now you respect your elders young one," he jokingly points at me, "and how's the family going?"

"Could be better, could be worse. Still in hiding after so many years."

The armed men line themselves up on the perimeter of the central fountain. A black Tesla silently pulls up with a police cruiser right behind.

"It looks like the other guests are here," John comments.

The Tesla pulls in right behind the SUV, perfectly between the lines. The police cruiser pulls into the spot behind the Tesla. Three battle-hardened-straight-faced nekos pile out of their vehicles escorting Yonso. Unlike the United Front, these Catcry Clan members walked with class. Sergeant Niagara exists his patrol car, trailing behind the nekos.

"Well that's one way to make an entrance," John remarks, pivoting towards the group, "And how are you doing Sergeant, Yonso?"

"As per usual," Yonso extends his hand to shake John's hand, "Hodaka keeps getting on my back about ramen of all things."

John chuckles, "Well ramen sure is important," he pivots towards Niagara, "And how is my favorite police sergeant?"

"Just making sure y'all don't try to kill each other," Niagara shakes his hand.

The Catcry Clansmen align themselves along the perimeter, standing next to the United Front soldiers. The four men stand in a circle around each other.

"A rare moment," I note, "the two factions standing standing side by side."

Yonso puts his arm around my shoulder, "If we keep these negotiations going, it'll be a sight that becomes more and more quotidian."

"Hell, the entire city would enjoy that, for sooner or for later," Niagara responds.

"Let's hope its for sooner," I answer.

"Well if we want it to happen soon gentlemen, shall we begin?" questions Robert.

Dorimel's Gone To Shit

Seto Suk, former Foundation technician.

02/09/2040, Day 15 of Warfare

Dorimel's gone to shit. Sakata's negotiations went to shit when they brought both syndicate leaders and some rando opened fire a few blocks away. The syndicates went to shit when the DPD rounded up the entire group, all the major crime leaders, despite Niagara's attempts to stop them. The city went to shit when the war broke out.

It's ironic if anything- the negotiations for peace ended up screwing over the groups they were supposed to benefit, but also brought the groups together. The Catcry Clan and United Front have banded together seamlessly, putting aside their differences to free their men from jail. Today is the 15th day of fighting, and there's no single section of the city that isn't bullet-ridden at this point. Tomorrow the feds will bring in reinforcements to backup the DPD. The entire city is at war, even the Intermediaries joined in to fight against the city.

I hope this conflict ends soon with as little loss of life as possible, the body count from the DPD already places that number at 259 dead. I also hope Shi and Heki are having better luck with wherever they are, if they're still alive.

02/21/2040, Day 28 of Warfare

Bancho died in the crossfire outside his restaurant. I wish we could give him a proper funeral, it's not like our family has many people we're close to anyways. The first National Guard troops have arrived and casualties are in the thousands. It's a half and half split now, the higher ranks of the factions have fled the city while the others dig in for guerrilla warfare.

I think we're moving out soon, especially since the Intermediaries started using explosives. A majority of city center is a ghost town, every neighborhood has seen casualties, and people are leaving in hordes day by day. If I remember correctly, there's some Chaos Insurgents a few klicks away, but who knows where we'll end up.

Kaboom.

Shi Suk, former Army E.O.D. technician and M.T.F. Nu-7 marksman.

Heki Suk, former Epsilon-9 incendiary operative.

Foreword: After being presumed dead after J.T.F. Pi-5 Incident Alpha, Shi and Heki Suk have been operating under the Foundation radar around 15 klicks from the City of Dormiel. During the Dorimel War, Imaka, Sakata, and Seto Suk met with Shi and Heki on multiple occasions. It is suspected that Shi and Heki have been behind multiple raids of a Global Occult Coalition camp using the aid of an outcast Chaos Insurgency team, with the most recent raid occurring on 04/██/2040.
< Begin Log >

Footage from a Foundation EG-3 Sentry AWACS reveals two UH-60 Blackhawks landing approximately 1.5 kilometers from a G.O.C. camp, identified as Compoud Papa. A 14-man team, identified as Fire Squad Xi, exits the helicopters. Footage shows the Blackhawks moving off frame, heading East.

Fire Squad Xi, led by Shi Suk, approaches Compound Papa along the North perimeter. A singular guard is patrolling the perimeter. Fire Squad Xi ceases movement approximately 30 meters from the compound. Shi fires two rounds at the guard. The guard drops, presumably dead.

Fire Team Xi enters Compound Papa. The team proceeds towards the West end of the compound, towards the barracks. A guard along the Western Perimeter moving South is killed. The team divides into groups of two around the barracks. Heki Suk stands at the main entrance of the barracks welding a flamethrower. Infared shows at least eighteen (18) bodies inside the barracks. Fire Team Xi holds position around the perimeter. Heki Suk fires the flamethrower into the barracks, reaching temperatures measuring up to ~1600°C.

After 4 seconds of sustained fire, all persons within the barracks are deceased. A group of three guards approaches the South side of the barracks. A small firefight occurs between the guards and seven members of Fire Squad Xi. The other five members clear the barracks.

A grenade is thrown towards the three guards, killing two and injuring one on impact. One member of the Fire Squad is injured.

A Close Encounter

"What's the ETA?" Father asks Seto.

Seto pulls out her radio, a green light magically appears, "Specter-2 ETA?"

The green light disappears. A moment of silence is interrupted by Shi's voice over static, "ETA 7 Mikes. Over."

The green light appears again, "Copy, Specter-4 out."

Seto returns to typing away on her computer, checking satellites. Father checks his weapon as I watch him through the rear view mirror.

"How much longer will we be hiding?" I ask.

"As long as it takes for this to blow over," Father sighs.

I pull out my phone, checking the time. 1439 hours. I slide my phone back inside my blazer as it begins to buzz. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. I look down, taking it out of my pocket. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. I read the name of whoever is calling me. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. Bzzzt. The name in broad, white text. "Amy Chen." Bzzzt. Bzz- I swipe up.

"Hello?"

"Hey! This is Sakata right?" Her voice was clear as day, as bright as the sun even through the phone.

"That would be me," I reply, shocked she has my number, "how can I help you?"

"So uh… I'm stuck on this hill with a guy and I may or may not have gotten stuck out in the middle of nowhere outside Dorimel."

"Do you know how we can find you?"

"I uh, there's a treeline to my right and two more hills to my left?"

"Lemme help," a faint voice said, "HA- KA-"

"So that guy I'm with, do you see a blue beam in the sky?"

I look left and right around the horizon. A glorious teal beam of light could be seen faintly in the distance. "I see it. But where is it coming from?"

"It's probably better for you to see it yourself," she answers.

I look back at Father, "It's a few miles out, do you think we can make it there and back in time or should we wait?"

He looks up from his weapon, "We have time."

"Copy," I focus my attention back to Amy, "we'll be there momentarily."

Task Force Zero

An artist's digital rendition of SCP-XXXX's flag.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: All remnants of SCP-XXXX's history are currently being kept in an anomalous storage locker at Site 19.

Description: SCP-XXXX was an anomalous island named "Biscotia" existing in the 17^th century. This island has been ruled by royal families, all of the same descent. SCP-XXXX manifests the wishes or desires of Biscotia's ruling monarch once their reign officially begins. The citizens of Biscotia thought themself to be a derivative nation of England and were aggressive to any other nation they thought was a threat. They did not possess imported goods, relying on self-sufficiency.

The island of SCP-XXXX was majorly secluded and follows the example of Elizabethan era England. The penalties for crime and homicide were undefined until 1625-1640⁹. The religious practices of Biscotia have often been considered barbaric by local historians, with holy texts concerning the faith referencing the usage of ritualistic ceremonies.¹⁰

Discovery: SCP-XXXX's history was found, curated in a museum in Abbey Wood, London. In the museum, an entire wing was dedicated to SCP-XXXX. Several artifacts were recovered, including, oil-painted portraits and a volume of SCP-XXXX's history. Several historians and curators focusing on this topic were anmestized. A table of the artifacts recovered can be found below :

ARTIFACT	ANOMALOUS FEATURES
A musket.	This musket had been heavily tampered with, now including a cartridge, located at its bottom. This is theorized to come from the years 1640-165311
A sacrificial stone.	This stone has several luminescent red-toned indents12. Several draining bowls are located at the bottom of the stone.13

Portrait of King Louis I

History:

NAME: King Louis I

REIGN: King Louis was made the sitting monarch of Biscotia on January 16^th, 1602. When he took the throne, he desired to be abundantly rich. He held control over Biscotia for nearly 10 years, causing the island to slowly become a progressively poorer nation. Towards the end of King Louis's reign, many citizens were considered to be drastically impoverished. The population of Biscotia almost completely perished when peasants revolted and overthrew King Louis I.

CAUSE OF DEATH/END OF REIGN: King Louis was publicly hung, in front of a crowd on December 13^th, 1612.

Portrait of King Louis II

NAME: King Louis II

REIGN: King Louis II took the throne soon after his father was executed on January 19^th1613. His desire was for his allies' ability to rise above the justice system on Biscotia. His allies took advantage of this and committed several crimes and homicides across King Louis II's 12-year reign. Biscotia eventually became an island without a justice system. A peasant of the island assassinated King Louis II.

CAUSE OF DEATH/END OF REIGN: King Louis II was impaled to death with a knife on October 2^nd, 1625.

Portrait of Queen Henrietta

NAME: Queen Henrietta

REIGN: After killing the late King Louis II, Queen Henrietta had a desire, to become Queen of Biscotia. She assumed the throne on October 4^th, 1625. She imposed many new rules over her reign, including, reforming the justice system, the death penalty, and taxes for law enforcement. This peace lasted 15 years, until her eventual death.

CAUSE OF DEATH/END OF REIGN: Queen Henrietta died of natural causes in her sleep, on September 3^rd, 1640.

NAME: King Johnathan

REIGN: King Johnathan rightfully took the throne on September 15^th, 1640, not long after his mother's death. He spent civilian tax dollars developing weapons and the military. King Johnathan often demanded attacks on nearby countries much larger than Biscotia itself. When foreign fleets arrived, he eventually made his wish after his 13-year reign for the nation of Biscotia to be hidden from the rest of the world.

CAUSE OF DEATH/END OF REIGN: It is not known how King Johnathan died, since the island of Biscota disappeared on April 20^th, 1653.

_{◀O5 Council Dossier}

Director Hollender quickly moved down the corridor, passing by researchers and doctors running through the brightly lit hallway. He was moving through his favourite hallway, the main hall stretching through the middle of Site-89. The bright and beautiful skylight shone overhead leaving a ray of light that stretched to the end of the hall and eventually merged into the site's mess hall and recreational area. He took a sharp right at the intersection, following the pink line leading him to his destination.

He quickened his pace and carefully moved around the bustling researchers and doctors, hurrying past the rooms covered wall to ceiling with frosted glass. He could only see the faint outlines of the lab-coated scientists conducting research. The sign overhead read "Department of Research, Development, and Experimentation" and pointed straight in front of him. As he entered the laboratories, he recognized more of his peers moving about the area, Assistant Director Lorem was busy helping in some experiment or other, but Hollender was too busy to stop.

The Director had been called for an interview, but there wasn't a caller ID. Strange. The email he received stated that the call was to be monitored by O5-12 and O5-8, known as the archivist and the head of internal investigations. It was an understatement to say Hollender was extremely nervous. Although Hollender didn't like to express his nervousness to others.

He quickened his pace down the hall, following the new teal line into the office sector, and headed towards the office at the end with the gold-trimmed door. He lifted his keycard to the lock. He waited a couple of moments before a quiet buzzing could be heard emanating from the lock and the light turned from red to green and the lock could be heard releasing. The door popping open slightly.

He carefully locked the door behind him, and with a buzz, the door secured itself behind him. He heard a quiet ping from his computer, and gingerly opened the lid, revealing an email.

To: SD. Charles Hollender
From: The Overseer Council
Subject: Private Meeting

---

Director Hollender,

We have been monitoring your operations closely over the past few months and wish to schedule a meeting with you. We have cleared your agenda for the rest of today and will be anticipating your arrival at Site-01 at 11 PM tonight. We look forward to meeting with you again. A helicopter is ready and expecting you on the top floor.

Sincerely,
O5-12

Hollender sat back in his chair, contemplating this news. He reached into his pocket, grasped his phone, and turned it on. He began to message his assistant.

---

Today, 19:34

Griffin, are you there?

I need something of you

What's up, Charles?

I'm going to be out for the next day or so, you're in charge until I'm back

Sure I can do that. Where are you going?

I'm heading to Site-01 for a meeting with the overseers, nothing to worry about I'm sure

Alright, make sure to get back in one piece boss

Will do

---

He put the phone down and leaned back in his chair, unbuttoning his white jacket and placing it gently on his mahogany desk. He peered at the nameplate on his desk "Director Charles Hollender" for several moments. He stood up from his desk, straightened his pink tie, adjusted the gold clip, and fixed his posture by cracking his back. He opened the wardrobe and a wall of coats and jackets appeared. Charles pondered a few moments before selecting a clean white suit and softly sealed the wardrobe. He put on the jacket and adjusted his tie again. Hollender grabbed his phone from the desk and rushed over to the door, unclipping his keycard from his belt. He held it up to lock and the door popped open. He locked the door behind him and quickly made his way through the corridors to the elevator.

The doors opened and Charles stepped in, greeted by red-carpeted floor and mirrors. Hollender pushed the button labeled "Level 4" and watched as the doors closed in front of him. The calm elevator music helped him collect himself and think about his situation. Just a simple meeting, nothing to worry about. The doors opened again and the calming music of the elevator slowly became mute. There were two guards stationed at the checkpoint, both laughing at something or other. One of them, Officer Ogechi, noticed Hollender approaching and stood to attention, saluting their director.

"Good day Director. No need to go through the checkpoint tonight we've already gotten the override from O5-12."

"Thank you, Ogechi. Slow day up here?"

"Indeed, very slow day. If you want later you could come up and join us. That'd be a hoot."

"I'll see to it that I do, have a good night boys."

"See ya 'round, sir."

Hollender passes through the side entrance and the other officer, Williams, opens the door to the helipad. Charles and Williams both recoiled as the cold wind blew into the small room, the light snow sticking to their clothing. Hollender patted Williams on the shoulder and exited Site-89.

He stepped out onto the snow-covered helipad and found the helicopter waiting for him as expected. He opened the large door and pulled himself into the cabin.

"Ah! G'day Sir."

"Hello, Winston. Are you aware of our destination tonight?"

"Well of course sir, I received a message directly from O5-12 himself, Sir."

"Ah, perfect. If you don't mind, Winston, I'm going to take a nap on the way there. Please wake me up when we get there."

"I get it, important meeting so ya got to get your energy. Don't worry boss, I'll wake ya when we get there."

…

"Sir, wake up. We're approaching Site-01 now."

Hollender groggily rose, he had been sprawled out across the seats in the back and fixed his suit that he had laid over him like a blanket.

"Ah, it would appear we are. What time is it, Winston?"

"22:41, Sir."

"Perfect, right on time. You are a great pilot Winston."

"You're making me blush, Sir."

"Har har. Thank you for the ride, Winston."

"My pleasure, shall I wait for you here?"

"No, I'll make my way back some way or another."

"Alright, Sir. Hope you enjoyed your flight, make sure to lift your tray table, and don't forget your luggage may have slid around during the flight."

"Alright, stewardess."

"That's Captain to you, Sir."

Hollender stepped out of the helicopter, into the cold and lept down to the hard concrete. Two guards approached him.

"Hello, Director Hollender. You're scheduled for an 11 o'clock, correct?"

"That is correct, can you guide me to the meeting room? I'm not quite familiar with Site-01."

"Absolutely. Reginald, take the director to the board room please."

"Got it. Director, if you would please follow me." the other guard piped up, stepping beside the other.

The two stepped away from the landing pad and walked down a flight of stairs. Hollender could feel the warmth wash over him again as they went deeper into the facility. There were very few people at Site-01 compared to Site-89, and Hollender could distinguish the differences very fast. Analysts and accountants were hustling about, which was a different atmosphere compared to Site-89, but Hollender shifted his focus back to his current objective. The guard led him through a few more corridors until they came to a set of large double brass doors, with two locks.

Two agents from Mobile Task Force Alpha-1 stood guard at the door, and they saluted Director Hollender as he approached. They turned around and each inserted their keycards and the light above the door flashed green and folded into the wall.

"This is where I leave you, sir, straight down that corridor is the board room. You can't miss it."

"Alright, thank you, agent."

The officer turned around and returned to the helipad. Hollender moved forward, into the grand hallway. The guards closed the large doors behind him, and he was left in complete silence. He calmly moved through the red-carpeted hallway. He glanced at the portraits on the walls, each one depicting past and present Overseer members. He noticed there was an empty frame at the end next to the massive marble doors.

He glanced at his watch.

22:59

He took several deep breathes and opened the doors. The room was completely pitch black. He stepped inside and the large doors closed behind him.

Suddenly, the room was bathed in light, and Hollender could see the large semi-circular table that was made of obsidian. A large inverted obsidian pyramid extended from the ceiling and hung over the table. All of the members were there except for O5-4. O5-1 spoke up.

"Good day, Director, I hope your flight here was pleasant."

"Yes, it was perfectly fine. Quite a nice flight."

"Charles, do you know why we summoned you here?" O5-12 called out to Hollender.

"No, sir." He replied.

"Were you involved in Operation Burning Overlords?" O5-12 questioned.

"I was. I brought both Mobile Task Force Titan-1 and Titan-3 to Site-90 to defend against the Global Occult Coalition and The Prying Eyes. I lost a chunk of my forces. I was also injured in the fighting, but I've fully recovered." Hollender stated confidently.

"I'm glad to hear you're alright, and that you did your part for the Foundation," O5-12 said with a satisfactory tone in his voice.

"I'm sure you are aware most of us are newly appointed Overseer members," O5-8 said.

"Yes, ma'am. I remember going to O5-11's promotional party on the 15th of last month." Hollender said.

"Yes. Well, we are still looking for the remaining Overseer member and we believe you should join the council." O5-8 stated in a loud but kind voice.

"I would be honored, ma'am. Are" Hollender said, stumbling for words.

"O5-13 and O5-12 being the oldest members on the council have been teaching us what we need to know to bring the foundation back on its feet. Everything is in disarray on the East Coast. The GOC overran us in Germany, and don't get me started about India. My point is, Director, that we are in desperate need of order. We are suffering from raids every other day and we need it to stop." O5-7 stated.

"I've been doing all I can to take in refugees from other sites, sir. I can create another level if you want to temporarily contain more anomalies from the crippled sites." Hollender said confidently.

"That would be good to strengthen our Western front so we can focus on the rest of the sites. Get on that as soon as possible." O5-6 said with his loud and authoritarian voice.

"Yes, sir," Hollender said respectively.

"The point is, Director, we want to welcome you to the Overseer Council, O5-4," O5-13 said proudly.

"After he unfortunately passed in Berlin during the second wave of Operation Burning Overlord, we think you are the best fit for the position. Your credentials and title will be updated shortly." O5-11 said, reflecting on the O5-4's death.

"A-Are you sure? Surely there is someone more qualified for the job than me. I really don't know what to say." Hollender said, as he fumbled for words

"No, we are quite certain of our decision. We had multiple vouches for you to join the Overseer Council and we think you would be a good addition to the council." O5-1 said, with a serious tone.

Thank you, all of you. Though, will this affect my day-to-day operations?" Hollender questioned.

"Not significantly, no. You will be called for the occasional meeting or having to sign some documents. Sometimes summoned for a lecture or two. Generally speaking, of course, even we're not fully organized yet." She said, nervously laughing at the end.

"Alright. What do we do now?" Hollender asked.

"Well let's celebrate. Hey, Reaper. Can you get the popcorn?" O5-2 said, excitedly.

O5-7 looks up from his desk. He looked like he had been spacing out.

"Sure." He said with a cold tone.

He stands up from his seat and walks up to the wall on the far right side of the room. He flicks his hand in an upwards motion and the concrete wall separated, opening up to reveal a large kitchen and bar area.

O5-8 leans over the desk to shake Charles' hand.

"Glad to see you again Charles. It's been too long." O5-8 said with dazzle in her voice.

"It certainly has Amelia. I'm glad to see you're doing well for yourself." Hollender said respectfully.

O5-5 gestured for Charles to shake her hand.

"Director, I don't believe we've met before. My name is Ridley Waybeck." She said with a quiet, polite tone.

Hollender felt himself relax, his shoulders felt looser and he felt like he could be informal with them now.

"Yeah, you're primarily around Site-98 on the West Coast if I remember correctly. How was it on the front?" Hollender asked.

"Dreadful, but there isn't an alternative option for open warfare. I tried to do my part, like everyone else here." She said, still with confidence in her voice.

"Well, it was a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Waybeck," Hollender said joyfully.

"The pleasure is all mine," she said as she smiled kindly.

Hollender moved over to O5-11's seat.

"It's great to see you again Seicho," Hollender said with a relaxed tone.

O5-11 leaned in for a hug and Hollender eagerly accepted.

"How have you been Charles?" O5-11 asked.

"Well y'know, same old same old. We've had very few breaches recently. Plus the whole fiasco last month while we were giving relief to the surrounding sites." Hollender said.

"Glad to hear you're still you." She said in a soothing tone.

"How have you been over there? I heard it was rough over in Indonesia." Hollender said.

"It was, we were having constant night raids for our collection of amnestics. They sure as hell didn't give up easily. At one point they even took a quarter of the facility. We had to flush them out with water by breaching the facility from the outside. We took heavy casualties over those couple of weeks." She said, a note of sadness dwelling on the final sentence.

"I'm sorry to hear that, I'm extremely glad to see you in one piece though. Did the relief support I sent over help?" Hollender said, hoping to lift her spirits.

"Oh definitely, that probably brought us back from the tipping point in the end. Thank god that storm didn't delay them a day later or we would be toast." She said, noticeably reviving her voice.

"Glad to hear they got there in time. If you need more support just give me a holler." Hollender said, relieved.

"Will do, Charles," O5-11 replied.

"Director, now that we have the formalities out of the way, we will be taking part in a congratulatory dinner. I know this is a bit of a late notice, but do you think you can attend, or does something else require your attention?" O5-9 said with his British accent.

"I'll definitely attend. in the case that I'll be staying for the night, I will need to make some emails," Hollender said respectfully.

"That is why I had a room prepared for you, to the left once you exit the hall and all the way down the hall, room B-13. Show the guard your keycard and he'll let you through." O5-9 said in a calm and warm tone.

"I only have Level 4 credentials, will that-" Hollender said, as he was suddenly cut off.

O5-12 suddenly tossed a keycard attached to a necklace at Hollender. He caught the keycard with ease and clipped it to his belt.

"This should suffice to pass security," O5-12 said, with a chuckle.

"Thank you all very much, I'm going to go to my room and prepare for dinner," Hollender said brimming with happiness.

Hollender slowly pushed the doors open before turning around to look at his new peers. Laughing and talking to each other like real people. Hollender definitely didn't know what to expect, but he wouldn't think they would be normal. He was about to turn around but noticed O5-7 staring at him from the entrance to the kitchen before walking to the table with three bowls of popcorn.

He carefully closed the doors behind him and walked down the corridor. He noticed the empty frame had been replaced with a framed painting of himself.

As he took his gaze off of the painting, he moved down the hall, quietly looking at each portrait. He finally made it to the end of the red-carpeted hall and pushed both doors open with a confident push.

The guards turned around to face him.

"Good day, Overseer." The Captain said.

"Good day, Captain." Hollender politely responded.

"Your room is straight down the hall at the end, can't miss it." The Captain said in a British accent, pointing to his left down the red-carpeted hall covered with dozens of doors.

"Alright, thanks mate," Hollender said cheerfully.

"No problem, Sir." the Captain replied.

Hollender began to walk down the corridor before someone called his name.

"Director Hollender," O5-7 called, as he slowly pushed the doors open from behind Hollender.

"Hello, O5-7. What brings you over here?" Hollender asked kindly.

"A talk, come with me," O5-7 replied.

The two began to walk down the corridor towards Hollender's room.

"I apologize for the state of the guest room, I didn't have that long to prepare it," O5-7 said in a monotone voice.

"I'm sure it's no problem, don't beat yourself up about it?" Hollender said.

"Well, I should tell you I'll be preparing your actual room later, for when you need to visit again." He said, looking at Hollender with a flat expression.

"As expected, your room will be next to Overseer Three and Five's quarters. I shall create the room after the dinner later tonight." O5-7 continued.

"Did I catch that right? You'll create the room by early tomorrow?" Hollender questioned, baffled by what O5-7 had said.

"Well, of course, Director," O5-7 said, confused as to why Hollender had found that information so bewildered.

"Ah, my mistake. I'm assuming you don't know how the Prodigium works." O5-7 said, placing his right hand over his left.

Hollender noticed dry blood stains on the white gloves O5-7 was wearing, and The Seventh Overseer noticed Hollender's gaze and put his hands back in his pockets.

"The Prodigium?" Hollender asked.

"Yes, our meeting room. I won't drag on with the details but it is a non-euclidean space that we have learned to manipulate. There are many rooms connected to the meeting room, but I believe you have only viewed the kitchen so far. The private quarters are to the far left of the main chamber, with a hallway and our quarters attached. You can personalize your room however you wish, although I will prepare it for standard accommodations. I shall teach you how to manipulate the Prodigium yourself, in due time." O5-7 finished, as he stopped in front of Hollender's room.

"Thank you, is there a name I can call you or-"

"No." He quickly replied.

"Alright. One last thing, is The Prodigium a documented anomaly that I can read about?"

"Also no."

There was a moment of silencer between the two.

"Dinner is at 23:50. Don't be late." O5-7 said as he turned back to the meeting room.

Hollender watched him as he walked down the hall. O5-7 turned his head to see Hollender peering at him, before turning around again and walking away.

Hollender looked at his watch.

23:20

Hollender lifted his new badge to the door and a peculiar whir emitted from the door before popping open slightly. He got inside and closed the door behind him and let out a long tired, sigh.

He pumped his fists for a moment and then returned his gaze to the room. Double bed, bathroom, kitchen, cupboards, coat racks. Hollender sat down on the bed and took a moment to contemplate what had happened.

"I could do with a shower." He said as he talked to the air in the dim room.

…

Hollender emerged from the shower and picked a black suit with white stripes. He twirled the coat tails while he looked at himself from the floor to wall mirror installed in his bathroom. He walked to the door and opened it, and on the other side of the door was O5-11. Hollender stumbled back in surprise before collecting himself.

"Hi Seicho, what are you doing out here?" Hollender asked.

"I was heading to dinner, care to join me?" She asked as she eyed Hollender's suit, before continuing, "Lovely suit, by the way, I think it fits you perfectly."

"Thank you, your dress looks wonderful as well," Hollender said, trying to be as respectful as he possibly can.

Hollender looked at her dress, it was a long and flowing green dress that draped down to the floor and matched her green high-heels. Hollender noticed the earrings she was wearing as well, they were a beautiful bouquet of purple flowers to compliment her long and wavy dark brown hair. He also noticed the bright purple lipstick she had worn, and then looked upwards to her blind right eye.

"You look wonderful, Seicho," Hollender said warmly.

"Do you always dress like this, or is it just for tonight?" Seicho asked, twirling one of Hollender's coat tails.

"I normally dress in white, just being a little more professional tonight." Hollender said.

The two Overseers walked down the corridor together as other men and women in suits hustled past them. The Captain opened the double doors for them and they walked down the silent hallway together. O5-11 stopped in front of the doors leading to the meeting room.

"Well, Director. Are you ready?" O5-11 asked.

"I suppose so, Seicho." Hollender responded.

O5-11 pushed open the double doors and all of the overseers were seated at the table, the lights had been dimmed and there were candles laid out across the table. All of the Overseers stopped talking and looked at Hollender.

"Please then. Take a seat, Director."
Wow! You flipped a card and got: NNOIFF!!! You ca reload the page or go to the next.

SCP-3485-3 edited for safe viewing

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3485 is to be kept in a Recreation of ███████ created using ████████ which can control non-Euclidean geometry. The size observed from the outside of the containment chamber is 10m x 10m, but the extent from the inside is a one to one recreation of ███████. SCP-3485 assigned house is to be outfitted with anti-corrosive furniture and materials. To maintain the illusion of a normal life, AI inhabited humans are to act as his parents. Every fortnight, a cleaning team is to clean the house thoroughly to collect the acid-like substance SCP-3485 secretes, as this substance with long enough exposure, can corrode most materials.

Researchers within the containment chamber are encouraged to maintain friendships with such anomalous entities to research the entities further. Researches that interact with SCP-3485 are required to have memetic training to withstand the anomalous effects that SCP-3485 emits. If SCP-3485 shows any further anomalous activity than is normal, MTF are to be dispatched. SCP-3485 is to be kept in the memetic sector of the MAH containment chamber.

SCP-3485-3 and SCP-3485-2 are to be kept in a standard security storage locker in site-██. Level 4 personnel and above can authorise the removal of instances for research and other purposes. Only memetic trained, Level 3 researchers can conduct experiments and research on SCP-3485-3 and SCP-3485-2. Contact with SCP-3485-2 is strictly forbidden, and researchers handling SCP-3485-2 are required to use tools.

If SCP-3485 realises its anomalous nature or its residence within site-██, SCP-3485 is to be detained and train personnel are to investigate SCP-3485’s realization. Multiple methods of extraction can be used, ranging from drug-induced complacency to torture. If such methods fail, Protocol Molly-43 is to be used. After interrogation succeeds, class C and A amnestics are to be administered to SCP-3485 to maintain a state of normality. Normal protocol is to be followed, after the recovery of SCP-3485.

---

Description: SCP-3485 is a Thai male in his teenage years who appears to have terrible hygiene. All SCP-3485 pores are observed to be clogged, which are anomalous in nature. Attempts to remove the blockage results in the immediate generation of new oils and grease. DNA taken from SCP-3485 shows its close genealogy to orangutans which can be observed from its skull and lip structures. SCP-3485 is also observed to have poor motor controls, movement seen is similar to an orangutan.

SCP-3485 secretes an acid-like substance from its pores, which can corrode most materials with long enough exposure. If an entity touches this substance, it will create extreme levels of discomfort and repulsion which forces the entity to run away. Testing shows promising results to use this substance to help secure SCPS, as some anomalous entities are not immune to SCP-3485 effects, although AI does not seem to be affected. When collected by the cleaning team, it is to be designated SCP-3485-2.

The face of SCP-3485 is considered a memetic hazard. When viewing, untrained personnel may experience vomiting, coughing, crying, a flight response and even possible ███████████. These effects also manifest in photos of SCP-3485. These photos are designated SCP-3485-3. Like SCP-3485-2, testing shows promising results for the containment of other SCPS.

SCP-3485 can emit anomalous flatulence, which was observed to linger in the air for 10 minutes. Its effects are similar to teargas, but its effects are a magnitude more potent. Along with the effects of teargas, the repulsion effects of SCP-3485-2 and SCP-3485-3 are also present. SCP-3485 has only rarely emitted this gas which the foundation hopes to utilise.

SCP-3485 is to be referred to as ‘Mr J’. SCP-3485’s name before the foundation had located SCP-3485 was ‘█████ █████’.

Discovery Log: During ██/██/███ SCP-3485 was discovered in ███████. Surrounding him were █ bodies. They were identified to be his classmates. Alongside the bodies, an acid-like substance was observed to be surrounding him, eating away at the concrete. The acid had destabilised the supports of the ███████ building. When personnel approached, SCP-3485 was seen to have been covered in an acid-like substance. When personnel approached, SCP-3485 looked up, and personnel started running away. MTF Eta-10 was quickly dispatched to the location of SCP-3485 to contain the memetic hazard.

Note: It seems like the potency of SCP-3485’s effect scales with his mental state. With the use of amnestic, we may be able to transfer him to the memetic sector of the mass anomalous humanoid containment chamber. We must test this theory before we transfer him though.

Addendum 3485-a1

Notes: Max has informed me that SCP-3485 has taken an interest in him. Testing is required to prove this. It is possible to use Max to investigate SCP-3485 more.

Addendum 3485-a2

Notes: After seeing the effects of the substance SCP-3485 creates, I have proposed its use in the containment of other SCPs. This substance may also prove useful in fights against other groups of interest. We have deemed SCP-3485-3 too dangerous for normal use, as untrained personnel could be affected. The MTF also just doesn't want to have photos of the guy.

Addendum 3485-a3

Notes: The gas that SCP-3485 emitted during incident c1 has piqued the foundation's interest as its use could be useful in fights against groups of interest and SCPs. Attempts to create this gas via the use of SCP-3485-2 has been unsuccessful. The viability of this gas is under consideration, as the rarity of it occurring is too sparse to be viable.

Addendum 3485-b1 Experiment Log

Test Subject: SCP-3485

Date: 15/03/████

Procedure: Max is to stare at SCP-3485 for an extended period of time.

Results: SCP-3485 looks at Max for around a minute, smiling while doing so. After the one-minute mark, SCP-3485 looks away, and tries to look presentable by pursing his lips, etc… SCP-3485 starts to smile again as Max starts calling SCP-3485’s name. This goes on for around thirty seconds as the test is concluded. SCP-3485 replies as soon as Max looks away from him to do his paperwork.

Notes: It seems that SCP-3485 is quite fond of Max. We could use Max for further research into his past and abilities. Max can also be a failsafe, preventing a mental breakdown, and escape from containment. Further testing will be held to see the level of attachment SCP-3485 has for Max.

Addendum3485-b2 Experiment Log

Test Subject: SCP-3485

Date: 15/03/████

Procedure: Max is to ignore all attempts of interaction from SCP-3485.

Results: After 1-5 minutes, SCP-3485 tries to communicate with Max by calling his name. After around 20 unsuccessful tries, Justin stops and looks at his paper. Max is then prompted to leave the room. After he leaves, SCP-3485 tries to force an interaction with Max by stealing his pen. Max does not react to having his pen stolen, and instead takes another one out of his bag. SCP-3485 starts to get desperate and calls out to Max again which researchers presume to be because he wanted to reveal that he had Max’s pen. After another unsuccessful attempt, SCP-3485 then tries to talk to the tester to talk to Max. SCP-3485 stops calling out to Max. SCP-3485 can be seen glancing at Max often. After the twenty-minute mark, SCP-3485 drags his chair to Max, stopping halfway to jab Max with a pen. Max ignores him and SCP-3485 returns to his table. SCP-3485 then rolls the stolen pen back to Max to prompt a reaction, which Max ignores. After this, SCP-3485 is observed to have said something under his breath. Researchers believe that he said, ‘everything I’ve done for you…’ or ‘I’m done with you. SCP-3485 can be seen looking sad with more glances at Max. Max accidentally drops his pen, and bends down to pick it up, SCP-3485 can be seen staring both times. Justin is then talking to another ‘classmate’ when he tells a joke, he then turns to Max but quickly turns around again. The test is then aborted after an additional 10 minutes as time was running out. SCP-3485 can be seen happy as Max talks to SCP-3485 again after the test.

Notes: It seems like SCP-3485 craves interaction with Max, which is evident with the results above. But SCP-3485’s fascination with Max extends to some ‘desires’ which is evident when he stares when Max is retrieving his pen. Max may prove to be an important asset with manipulating SCP-3485.

Addendum 3485-b3 Experiment Log

Test Subject: SCP-3485

Date: ██/██/████

Procedure: Researchers attempt to create the gas that SCP-3485 emitted during incident c1 using the substance SCP-3485 creates.

Results: All attempts to recreate this gas has resulted in failure. When the solution is slowly heated to create a gas, it turns into water and methane. The original substance consisted of more compounds but is speculated to have turned into methane. Mixing the substance with a catalyst also results in the same outcome.

Notes: The gas may be only able to be created via SCP-3485’s body. Most funding for this project has been frozen, and only a tiny stream of funding is remaining.

Addendum 3485-c1 Incident Log

SCPs involved: SCP-3485

Personnel involved: NN, Dalsch, Beech, ABP, Will.

Date: 17/03/████

Location: ██████████ building in the memetic sector of the MAH containment chamber.

Description: Researcher personnel were conversing with SCP-3485 when SCP-3485 emitted flatulence which caused extreme discomfort in the present personnel. Present personnel then evacuated from the scene, with SCP-3485 chasing them. NN and Dalsch were cornered when Dalsch distracted SCP-3485. The two then took the opportunity to escape. NN called in MTF Eta-10 to detain SCP-3485. SCP-3485 then proceeded to ‘infect’ some of the personnel, which was never seen before. Beech and ABP were the first to be infected. The fates of these personnel are currently unknown. NN was found in the Armory with minor wounds when MTF arrived, while Dalsch and Will were found in the Containment Breach shelter.

Note: SCP-3485 was given class A and F amnestic. Beech and ABP were found in the courtyard unconscious. No signs of permanent damage were seen present but were seen to be dehydrated due to excessive vomiting and sweating. Changing his class to Euclid was a result of SCP-3485’s change of behaviour. His residence within the MAH containment chamber is being reconsidered as he could pose a threat to other SCPS, though it should be noted that Max was not present at the time.¹⁴

NOTE: Final SCP would contain a link to a 2nd fragment, being the current revision in the final product. Not present in Sandbox version.

SCP-XXXX: The Wrong Way

Fragment-1

NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS DEPARTMENT

You are currently reading a previous revision of SCP-XXXX. The current revision of SCP-XXXX can be accessed at the bottom of this revision.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Construction is currently underway to expand Site-██ to contain SCP-XXXX, as it is considered to be immovable from its current position. SCP-XXXX is believed to spread through discussing SCP-XXXX, or considering dangerous situations as harmless, creating a rapid spread of SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Due to Site-██ being within a 100km radius from a nearby population center, it is believed that SCP-XXXX-1 instances from Site-██ may have spread SCP-XXXX to the nearby population.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a cognitohazard that causes anyone who observes it to misjudge dangerous items and situations, perceiving potentially lethal threats as harmless. SCP-XXXX was first found along the exterior wall of Site-██ during a routine security patrol, infecting the entire patrol. Said graffiti is roughly 6x6 meters in size, depicting a slightly incorrect depiction of The Foundation’s logo, with the arrows pointing away from the center rather than towards.

SCP-XXXX-1 refers to those infected with SCP-XXXX. Currently, an estimated 43% of Site-██ are SCP-XXXX-1 instances, with an unknown number of civilian instances. Research into amnestic treatment is currently underway. Testing to determine the extent to which SCP-XXXX-1 instances misjudge dangerous situations are currently underway (See Test Log XXXX.1.24).

Test Log XXXX.1.24

Location: Interrogation Room 18
Subject(s): Researcher Morgan, Researcher Davis, D-6371
Note: For this test, Researcher Davis was instructed to act calm and friendly, while Researcher Morgan was told to be aggressive, and given a firearm containing blank rounds. D-6371 was believed to be an SCP-XXXX-1 instance.

---

D-6371 sits handcuffed to a table before Researcher Morgan and Davis enter the room.
Morgan: Hello D-6371, sorry for the delay. I hope you haven’t had to wait for too long.
D-6371: Yeah doc, it’s been great. I love being chained to a table for two hours for no fuckin’ reason. Couldn’t be better.
Researcher Davis would pull a chair up to the table, sitting across from D-6371.
Davis: Hey man, I get it. We had something come up, but I had to practically drag Researcher Morgan by the collar so we wouldn’t be late.
Researcher Morgan would place himself between the two, at the edge of the table.
Davis: Can we get you anything? A glass of water, something to eat, some spiders?
D-6371: … I’m alright, thank you. I don’t really understand why I’m here, was told you all had a test for me? But so far, nothing has really happened.
Researcher Morgan would slam his fists on the table, causing D-6371 to jump a small amount.
Morgan: The only thing you’re testing right now is my damn patience, D-6371. If you keep acting like this, we can keep you locked in here for as long as you’d like.
D-6371 would get visibly angered by Researcher Morgan’s actions, looking away from Researcher Morgan.
D-6371: Know what? Fuck this. Just bring me back to my cell, I don’t have to deal with this shit.
Morgan: You know what? You’re not even worth the trouble of this test. I say we just wrap this test up real quick.
At this point, Researcher Morgan pulls a semi-automatic pistol out of his labcoat, aiming it at D-6371, who just raises an eyebrow at Researcher Morgan.
D-6371: Uh… Should I be scared? I don’t, I’m not sure what you’re doing here. Usually in “Good Cop, Bad Cop”, the bad cop is threatening.
Researcher Morgan, as instructed, would grab D-6371 and place the firearm under his chin.
Morgan: How’s this, huh? Scary enough for you? Feeling threatened, like you might die right now?
Davis: Woah, Morgan! He’s no use to us dead. Let’s just hang on a - Hey wait, isn’t this thing a Keter? Shouldn’t we be more careful?
Morgan: Wait, what did you call it? It’s Keter, not Keter.
Davis: Are you joking? It’s Hebrew!

---

The test quickly devolved into a heated debate between Researcher Morgan and Davis, requiring them to be escorted out of the testing room.

NEXT ITERATION →

Fragment-2

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in Storage Room-███, covered in a thick, black fabric. Access to Storage Room-███ requires permission from Head Researcher ██████. Existing SCP-XXXX-1 instances are currently being treated with amnestics.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a piece of graffiti roughly 6x6 meters in size, depicting a slightly incorrect depiction of The Foundation’s logo, with the arrows pointing away from the center rather than towards. It was originally located along the exterior wall of Site-██, before being removed and moved to its current location, Storage Room-███.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances are created when a specific demographic views SCP-XXXX. Those affected must have both of the following traits:

• A current or past employee of The Foundation
• Considers themselves loyal to The Foundation

Upon becoming an SCP-XXXX-1 instance, the following symptoms have been observed:

• The belief that SCP-XXXX is indestructible, and cannot be removed from its position.
• An urge to show SCP-XXXX-1 susceptible individuals a photo of SCP-XXXX, either in person or on their phone
• The perception of harmless items, scenarios, and SCP’s to be dangerous and deadly
• The belief that SCP-XXXX-1 instances perceived dangerous items and scenarios to be harmless
• A radical belief that one pronunciation of Keter is correct, and other pronunciations are wrong, often getting into heated arguments with other SCP-XXXX-1 instances over the pronunciation, leading to violence in some cases.

The true effect of SCP-XXXX was discovered when Head Researcher ██████ requested assistance from an acquaintance from the Global Occult Coalition, Dr. ████████. Upon watching Test Log XXXX.1.24, Dr. ████████ noticed that the firearm wielded by Researcher Morgan was actually a water pistol.

Upon further investigation of SCP-XXXX, it was found to have braille around the edge of the logo. When the resulting text was put through a cipher using the keyword “KETER”, the phrase “Are We Cool Yet?” was found.

This was an absolute fucking embarrassment. My site was a hell hole for weeks, arguing over how to pronounce a stupid word, revamping safe containment procedures to be fit for more dangerous SCPs. We spent twenty million to contain a fucking Jenga set! All it has to do is sit in a locker, and now it has motion sensors, cameras, seismic sensors, and it wasn’t the only one. This anartist prank has cost us severely and made us look like fools. Let us be more careful net time. -Head Researcher ██████

Addendum XXXX.2
Due to the demographic vulnerable to becoming SCP-XXXX-1 instances, research into updating object class to Thaumiel is undergoing. See Test Log XXXX.2.1 for further information.

Test Log XXXX.2.1

Location: Storage Room-███
Subjects: Researcher Brown, Security Officer Garcia, Researcher ████
Note: Researcher ████, previously located at a different site, was believed to be a member of Chaos Insurgency leading to this test. Researcher ████ was transported to Site-██ for testing purposes. Researcher ████ was told to enter Storage Room-███, observe SCP-XXXX under the cloth, and then return to Researcher Brown and Security Officer Garcia who were waiting outside the room.

---

████: Well, that was… Some cool graffiti, I suppose. Not sure why it was so important.
Brown: That’s what we’re trying to determine. We’re having a hard time determining the object class. What do you think, safe? Euclid? Keter¹⁵?
████: Uh, safe probably. You just kinda have it under a huge piece of fabric, probably not an issue.
Garcia: See? I told you. Definitely not Keter¹⁶.
████: Not unless there’s something I’m missing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some work to do.

Researcher ████ was detained after testing and was found to contain Chaos Insurgency communication devices. Researcher ████ is awaiting termination.

Here's the two possible SCPs I am working on right now. I have original images for them I need to add, and addendum documents, interviews etc I will be adding as I learn the formatting. I fucked up my tabs, don't roast me fixed it. I'm new here and still learning. I'm impressed I got my IRC client working on the first try to even ask for the invitation. In places where there might eventually be an SCP number or something, I substitute in the working title in parenthesis for the time being. Even though both proposed SCPs I am working on involve art or music, at this point I don't intend for them to be linked or at all related.

Number One Crush

(TW: Suicide, Stalking)

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedure: At this time, containment of this one is almost impossible. Instances seem to generate spontaneously and randomly. If an instance is located, the subject being followed by (Number One Crush) is to be taken into Foundation custody and terminated immediately. All associates of the subject are to be given amnestics, and their homes, social media, and personal digital devices are to be scrubbed of any evidence of the subject of the possession. (This segment needs work)

At present, the Foundation has one individual of interest in custody (see Case #1349) who is actively under possession by (Number One Crush). He is to be contained in normal lodgings consistent with latest guidelines under the Subjects Bill Of Rights (Agent note: As of the last council meeting, this order was repealed and we can stop pretending this guy deserves luxury treatment. Put him in a standard cell and take away that fucking record player. Nobody needs to hear that stupid fucking song on repeat all the time. Just make sure he doesn't have anything to hurt himself with)

The Foundation needs to actively monitor online video content for instances, as well as keep tabs on possible subjects suspected of possession by instances of it. (Agent Note: We are currently developing a psych profile on these losers. This SCP definitely has a type.)

Description: It's a roughly 5ft - 9inch humanoid figure in a black shirt, black jeans, and black boots. It wears a rubber Halloween mask vaguely resembling a bird skull. It can be seen most frequently in the background of online livestreams, though it can also be captured in recorded video, still photos, etc.

There is little known about the origins of it, though the first instance known to the Foundation appeared in 1995 in between frames of the broadcast of a music video by ███████. Since then instances have been frequent and hard to detect. Usually, subjects being actively possessed by this SCP are unaware and tend to believe they are acting independently out of free will.

Thus far, the Foundation has identified conditions which must occur to attract an instance of possession, and stages through which the subject then progresses.

ACCESS **Document 001 - Analysis of the Behavior and Habits of (#1 Crush)** CLEARANCE REQUIRED

Conditions: In every identified instance of (Number One Crush), the subject of possession becomes obsessed some time before the instance appears. For example, in Case #1349 (Subject currently in Foundation Custody) the subject of possession was already stalking Ms.███████ for over two years (from 20██ - 20██) . Subject's obsession with Ms.███████ escalated to him attending every one of her live performances in 20██. The believed turning point in most cases appears to be when the subject begins violating the personal/private life of their object of affection. In Case #1349, this occurred the first time the subject broke into Ms.███████'s home. The first recorded instance of (Number One Crush) in this case appeared shortly thereafter in the background of a photo of the subject, taken by his friend Mr. ███████ on ██-██-20██.

ANALYSIS: Stages of Possession
Stage 1 - Pre-Possession - Subject develops unhealthy obsession with an artist, musician, or other type of performer or artist. The object of obsession (called "the Object" hereafter for simplicity) does not have to be "famous" (Agent Note: Or even popular/talented). The Subject begins obsessively attending performances or events hosted by the Object and begins obsessively collecting information and memorabilia of them.

Stage 2 - Crossing the Boundary
At some point, the Subject is no longer satisfied with socially acceptable forms of fandom, and they endeavor to access the private space or personal property of the Object. This is believed to be the point where (Number One Crush) is manifested. This does not require entrance into the residence of the Object. In one occurrence, the Subject broke into their Object's vehicle and stole their lip balm. In another, the Subject hacked the social media account of the Object just to read their private messages. The only requirement is that the privacy of the Object be violated in an intentional way by the Subject.

Stage 3 - First Appearance
Within 24 hours of the actions described in the previous step, the Subject will begin to experience instances of (Number One Crush)-01. The Foundation is unsure of how often these occur, and researchers suspect it may take less than 24 hours for the first instances of (Number One Crush)-01 to appear, but often the Subject is unaware of them for extended periods of time, and sometimes the Subject remains entirely unaware until a third party identifies an instance.

Stage 4 - Attempted Contact
Stage 5 - Violence
Stage 6 - Termination

It Eats People

Object Class: Safe Euclid, see addendums (to be added)

Special Containment Procedure: The Foundation is currently seeking to acquire ownership of (It Eats People). At present it is owned by ███████, which may be a front for an Are We Cool Yet? operation. The premises is protected by a 3 meter high razorwire fence, and main gate is closed with a heavy chain and double padlocked. The doors to the building are heavy steel. Although they appear to require keys for entry, it is often reported that the doors are randomly unlocked. When acquired, the Foundation has plans to weld shut all known entrances except the main door. The main door would require a triple-chamber airlock with 5-inch thick steel doors between each segment. Security clearance would be acquired for entrance. Anyone who enters the building is required to use Theseus protocols with a range of at least 1,000 meters.

Description: (It Eats People) is a 4-6 story red brick factory building located in the ███████ neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. It takes up a full city block. There is a parking lot just inside the fencing, and a few rows of garden boxes sit in a somewhat grassy area behind the building. There is a small detached shed in the back as well. The property is adjacent to a train yard on the south side, and several blocks of abandoned properties surround it. The property appears abandoned at first glance, but upon further inspection eyewitnesses report seeing figures moving in the windows and lights turning on and off.

The building has been known to be home to a variety of artists and anarchists since the 1970s. It was a well-known location for illegal raves through the end of the 1990s.

(It Eats People) first came to the attention of the Foundation in 1993, after the disappearance of a well-known recording artist who frequented in the building (add documents in addendums). Since this time, a number of mysterious deaths and disappearances have encouraged the majority of residents to leave, and entertainment events no longer take place in the building. Currently, the Foundation knows of at least 8 individuals who still reside in the property. Their exact residence locations, however, are unknown, and agents have only been able to locate an occupied apartment once during a mission in the building.

The city archives claim the building was constructed in 1897 by ███████, and was originally used for manufacturing. This is however, in dispute, as photographic evidence shows the building as standing on that location at least half a century prior. Carbon-dating of samples taken from the interior of the building remains inconclusive, as it shows structural elements to be anywhere from several days to thousands of years old.

It is unknown how many floors, wings, and rooms the building has. From the exterior, the building appears to be between 4 and 6 stories, depending on what wing of the building you look at. Agents who have explored the interior report climbing as many as 23 consecutive flights of stairs in one stairwell, starting from what they believed was the ground floor. The building has 3 known entrances - designations A, B, and F. There is record of there being at least 4 other entrances at various points in the past. Entering through the A and B doors tends to deliver visitors to consistent starting locations, but once inside the building, all spatial consistency is lost. The F door tends to deliver visitors to one of three recognizable locations, including the “mail room”.

Longtime residents of the building warn visitors to stay in the areas closest to the exterior A and B doors, and the B wing is the only wing that consistently shows signs of habitation.

(Addendum documents with interviews coming soon)
