Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard containment locker in Site-33. Access to the locker is restricted to personnel with Clearance Level 3. If SCP-XXXX is needed for testing, a request is to be filed and checked by project lead Dr. Anastasia Hurtz. Under no circumstances is SCP-XXXX to be read by anyone except D-Class personnel.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a collection of four papers, each of them designated SCP-XXXX-A through -D. These papers itself are non-anomalous. On each one of them is a text written on one side. The other side is completely blank.

The text has the same structure on each instance of SCP-XXXX. It takes the form of a "What am I?"-riddle (for more details refer to Document XXXX-01). This means that there is always a short description of an object or a concept and the question "What am I?" at the end.

The anomalous effect occurs when a subject reads an instance of SCP-XXXX and the correct answer to the respective riddle is formed in the mind. Immediately afterwards a process takes place which corresponds to the solution of the SCP-XXXX instance. At the end of each process, the subject always dies. After the process has started, there is no way of stopping it. There is no effect if the riddle is copied or photographed.

Due to the location of discovery (see Document XXXX-02) each effect was connected with one of the four elements: Earth, Water, Fire and Air. Further research into the origins of SCP-XXXX is ongoing.

Addenda:

Document XXXX-01: The following is an overview of the instances of SCP-XXXX and their effect if the solution is found.

Instance	Riddle	Solution	Effect	Element
SCP-XXXX-A	"Many fear me, but few escape me. What am I?"	Death	Subject decays at an accelerated rate through an increased number of bacteria. Then a process of Humusation1 takes place. The overall procedure takes about five minutes and the subject claims to feel extreme pain during the process.	Earth
SCP-XXXX-B	"My symptoms are like rain and my cause is often pain. What am I?"	Sadness	Subject reports to feel sad for an unknown reason. The amount of water in the body increases for reasons yet unknown. This leads to cytolysis2 and eventually the entire body of the subject bursts and water flows on the ground.	Water
SCP-XXXX-C	I am there when something else is not. I cannot rot and also not be bought. What am I?	Anger	Subject reports to feel very angry. He then states to feel a heat inside his head. The subjects head turns read and smoke comes out of the ears. A flame appears in both ears of the subject. All attempts to extinct it have thus far failed. The flame grows and covers the entire body after one minute. The subject reports to feel no pain, though. The temperature is 1400°C and the time until only ashes remain is approximately 30 minutes.	Fire
SCP-XXXX-D	You seek for my opposite, but sometimes I am infinite. What am I?	Imprisonment	Subject reports a feeling of being trapped in their body. Exactly one minute and thirty-five seconds after viewing SCP-XXXX-D, the subject dies and drops to the floor due to the brain suddenly vanishing through unknown means.	Air

Document XXXX-02: Each instance was discovered at a different location, which are all anomalous in nature and possess own designations. The locations are as follows:

• SCP-XXXX-A: SCP-XXXX-A was found during one of the explorations of SCP-EEEE. D-2341 claims that, after entering SCP-EEEE, he found himself in a completely white environment with a box standing in the center of the whiteness. In the box was SCP-XXXX-A. He retrieved the box and after a few days, Researcher Gaia suffered the effects of SCP-XXXX-A, which led to its classification.
• SCP-XXXX-B: SCP-XXXX-B was found during Exploration 1 of SCP-WWWW. Immediately upon entering, the D-Class reported the discovery of a box with a paper in it. The box was later found to be the same as SCP-XXXX-A's box and the paper classified as SCP-XXXX-B, after Researcher Nero experienced the aforementioned effects.
• SCP-XXXX-C:

Footnotes

1. The process of transformation of human bodies into humus.

2. The bursting of cells due to excess water diffusing into them.

3. Average based on previous measurements as individual instances vary in size.

4. Known points of entrance include: the mouth, the ear, the nose, the eye socket, the anus, and beneath the cuticle.

5. Foundation agents investigating James Higgins' home had already uncovered a probable source, so the subject was not pressed further during the interview.

6. The physical journal can be found in Site 95's records department. Researchers can access it with written permission from Site Director August.

7. Estimated to be roughly six days in

8. Damage caused 2 people injury, now it's keeped in 5m x 8m x 3m room.

9. Covid-19.

10. A controlled cognitohazard cypher in which words read are replaced within the reader's mind based on previously read material.

11. An expedition into Nx-01 (The Wanderer’s Library) carried out by MTF Sigma-3 ("Bibliographers") and MTF-Tau-9 ("Bookworms") on 05/09/2011

12. Know among occultists and thaumaturgists as Hiranyakashipu Yantra. If correctly inscribed onto an individual's back, the individual can no longer be harmed by a member of the individual's species. The effect's continuance depends on the physical constitution of the individual inscribed.

13. An acclaimed sigil in the anomalous community known as a Mahima Wheel. When inscribed onto an object, the objects physical strength will increase temporarily.

SCP-XXXX before entering D-8259

Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be kept in a 30cm x 20cm x 20cm plexiglass storage container. The top of the container should have a small opening covered by a nylon mesh. On the side there should be a small door fitted with a standard lock, allowing access to SCP-XXXX with permission from site director Dr. August and the matching key. Extraction of a single instance of SCP-XXXX for testing should be done with forceps. No more than roughly fifty instances of SCP-XXXX are to be contained within, excess instances are to be terminated.

Three times a week, SCP-XXXX should be administered 18ml of a potassium-sodium solution by simply dripping the solution onto the instances of SCP-XXXX via the mesh opening.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a worm-like creature measuring around 8cm in length and 0.2cm in diameter.³ SCP-XXXX's exterior is made up of a weak, segmented exoskeleton that covers a soft interior. The segmentation of the exoskeleton allows SCP-XXXX to deform its body as needed. The head of SCP-XXXX splits in a manner reminiscent of a mouth, however this appears to simply be cosmetic as no practical use has been noted.

When in contact with a human, SCP-XXXX will seek out the nearest opening that would allow it to enter the victim's body.⁴ After successfully entering the victim's body, SCP-XXXX will begin moving towards the brain. Once it arrives, SCP-XXXX will move onto the top of the brain, hooking itself onto it.

Over the course of ten to fourteen months, SCP-XXXX will slowly grow while feeding on the nutrients of the victim's brain. Growth is shown in an increasing length that snakes around the victims inner brain structure; moving from the top to the bottom of the brain. Once the brain stem is reached, SCP-XXXX will sever it, killing the victim. SCP-XXXX will then dislodge itself and exit the now deceased victim, finding a place it deems safe and becoming dormant for roughly two hours. During this period, SCP-XXXX will begin to divide into (on average) two-hundred and fifty copies of itself. Any leftover mass after this process has ceased will be fully inanimate and safe to handle without risking infection.

During the period of time where SCP-XXXX has infected a victim, it's primary effect will begin to manifest. Until time of death, the luck and general fortune of the victim will noticeably increase. The power of this effect scales depending on the importance or consequences of the situation. The greater the importance/consequence, the less effective SCP-XXXX is and vice versa.

+ Incident-XXXX-Pre

SCP-XXXX came to the Foundation's attention after a field agent in [REDACTED], Georgia reported an individual who claimed to be "infected with a worm that makes him lucky." Additional Foundation agents were deployed in the area to detain the individual under the guise of being clinical social workers. The infected individual was proclaimed to be a loose mental patient after Class C amnestics were administered as necessary.

Ensuing questioning and search of the victim's home revealed where he had acquired SCP-XXXX.
See supplemental documents: "James ███████' Journal."

Addendum-XXXX-4: As of 2018-04-19, all testing of SCP-XXXX is suspended indefinitely. See relevant documents and test logs below.

+ Memo to Site 95 Staff

NOTICE TO SITE 95 STAFF

2017-06-14

In Regards to SCP-XXXX: Due to the low risk that SCP-XXXX presents in infecting a properly prepared individual, I will be assigning a lower level researcher to head the research and tests on SCP-XXXX, Dr. ███████ █████. This will allow our more experienced researchers to remain focused on more pressing issues and urgent incidents should they arrive.

Should Dr. █████ require any resources for testing, they are to be provided (within reason).

If you have any questions or concerns, talk to me in my office.

— Dr. August / Site Director / Bio Site 95

+ Interview with Dr. ███████ █████

Interviewed: Dr. █████

Interviewer: Psych. Eval., Dr. Frances Callaway

Foreword: Standard prerequisite interview with Doctor █████ prior to his taking on the testing of SCP-XXXX.

<Begin Log, [2017-06-13 : 07:00]>

Dr. Callaway: Good morning Dr. █████, are you ready to begin the interview?

Dr. █████: Why not?

Dr. Callaway: Okay. Do you feel healthy and well today?

Dr. █████: Yes ma'am.

Dr. Callaway: Do you feel mentally clear and acute?

Dr. █████: Yes ma'am.

Dr. Callaway: Good, good. The records show that this is your first significant assignment while under the Foundation, are you feeling anxious in any way about participation with this assignment?

Dr. █████: Of course, this is a big deal. Not anxious enough to impede my work, just a sort of anxious-excitement.

Dr. Callaway: How familiar are you with SCP-XXXX?

Dr. █████: Only what I've been briefed on. I know that SCP-XXXX is, essentially, a parasite that attaches itself to a brain. It will slowly spread itself throughout said brain until it kills the victim. During the time of incubation, the anomalous property of SCP-XXXX surfaces. Until death, the luck of the victim will significantly increase. After death, SCP-XXXX leaves it's host and divides into many copies of itself similar to the original.

Dr. Callaway: How would you describe your emotions when you were selected to work with SCP-XXXX?

Dr. █████: Elated! Ever since I joined the team of research assistants here, I've aspired to be a head researcher.

Dr. Callaway: What is it about being a head researcher that is so alluring to you?

Dr. █████: I suppose it's the power of it. No, well, that's putting it poorly. What I mean is, I want to be able to prove myself to the people around me. I want to show them that I'm a competent individual that can handle tasks like these. If I can show them that, I'll keep moving myself up the rungs. The further up the rungs I go, the greater the difference I can make for the better.

Dr. Callaway: That's very ambitious of you. So you want the position so you can prove yourself and make positive differences. But what about the prestige of growing rapidly within the Foundation? Is that not a factor?

Dr. █████: Well, who can say that they never wanted to stand amongst giants?

<End of Interview>

Final Notes from Dr. Callaway: Dr. █████ shows great ambition in his desire to show the others around him his worth. Normally, this would be a red flag for someone who is unsure of themselves, however, Dr. █████ seems very confident and simply wishes to show others what he sees in himself. In terms of the rise in "power" mentioned, I have no fear that Dr. █████ is unhealthily obsessed with gaining notoriety and influence, Dr. █████ just holds himself to a higher standard that success in this position would satisfy. I believe that Dr. █████ is fully capable of performing his duties with full impunity.

Test-XXXX-Alpha-1
Goal	Determine when infection with SCP-XXXX becomes fatal.
Protocol	James ███████ is brought to a Foundation surgeon. SCP-XXXX has been attached to him for approximately eight months. The surgeon will attempt to remove SCP-XXXX without casualty.
Results	James ███████ was put under the effects of a general anesthetic and a Foundation surgeon began the operation. SCP-XXXX was found resting on the top of James ███████' brain. It was quickly realized that SCP-XXXX had grown to a considerable size and had wrapped around James ███████' brain's both inner and outer structure. Operation was soon abandoned by a unanimous vote; all present felt that it was impossible to safely remove SCP-XXXX.

Addendum-XXXX-1: A request was made by Dr. █████ to euthanize him "as an act of mercy" following the test. Request was denied. James ███████ remains in detainment. James ███████ passed in detainment through expected means via SCP-XXXX's usual process.

Test-XXXX-Alpha-2
Goal	Determine when infection with SCP-XXXX becomes fatal.
Protocol	D-6833 will be administered a general anesthetic and then exposed to SCP-XXXX. Three minutes will be allowed to pass, then a Foundation surgeon will attempt to remove SCP-XXXX from D-6833's brain.
Results	D-6833 was successfully administered the general anesthetic and SCP-XXXX was placed on D-6833's face. After a brief pause, SCP-XXXX entered D-6833 via the eye socket by going between the eye and eyelid. Three minutes passed and the operation began. Upon gaining visual of D-6833's brain, SCP-XXXX was found to have already positioned itself on top of it. SCP-XXXX was removed from D-6833's brain with forceps (minimal resistance). Removal of SCP-XXXX revealed that parts of it had already hooked into D-6833's internal brain structure, causing damage to the motor and sensory quadrants of the cortex. D-6833 was able to regain consciousness, however he had lost all fine motor skills and spoke in slurred speech. Approximately thirteen hours later, D-6833 succumbed to internal hemorrhaging.

+ Test Log Alpha-3

Test-XXXX-Alpha-3
Goal	Determine when infection with SCP-XXXX becomes fatal.
Protocol	D-7904 will be administered a general anesthetic. Following this, a tourniquet will be applied to D-7904's left bicep. SCP-XXXX will be introduced and theoretically blocked by the tourniquet, allowing surgical removal.
Results	D-7904 was successfully administered the general anesthetic and a tourniquet was applied to the left bicep. Following this, a small cut was made on D-7904's forearm. SCP-XXXX was placed on D-7904's forearm and, as expected, entered through the previously made wound. An MRI scan revealed that SCP-XXXX had indeed become stuck in D-7904's arm as it was unable to pass the tourniquet. SCP-XXXX was surgically removed from D-7904 and placed back into containment. D-7904 regained consciousness and was medically evaluated. D-7904 showed no signs of abnormality and remains in a healthy condition as of the writing of this report (two days after test).

Addendum-XXXX-2: These tests have shown that SCP-XXXX remains harmless once entering the body until it has reached the brain. If an individual is infiltrated by SCP-XXXX, it is theoretically possible to prevent full infection as long as SCP-XXXX is removed before reaching the victim's brain. However, the odds of doing this successfully in a real-world scenario is highly unlikely.

Test-XXXX-Beta-1
Goal	Determine the bias of SCP-XXXX when choosing to infect a victim.
Protocol	SCP-XXXX will be exposed to a canine in a closed environment.
Results	A canine of the canis lupus familiaris family was placed in a secure room alone. SCP-XXXX was released into the room and allowed to interact with the canine. Over the course of three hours, SCP-XXXX and the canine held minimal interaction. SCP-XXXX never directly interacted with the canine of its own volition. The canine approached SCP-XXXX four times over the course of the first hour, each time briefly inspecting SCP-XXXX through smelling. Each instance of inspection by the canine lasted around eight seconds, the canine quickly giving up and occupying itself with another task. For the remainder of the test, the canine kept its distance, holding a form of apprehension to continue interacting with SCP-XXXX. After three hours had passed, it was unanimously decided to cease the test.

Note: I was advised by one of my assistants to try working backwards in an effort to possibly save myself time, and the Foundation money. It ended up being a very wise move.

Test-XXXX-Beta-2
Goal	Determine the bias of SCP-XXXX when choosing to infect a victim.
Protocol	SCP-XXXX will be exposed to a primate of the pan troglodyte family (chosen for its close position to humans genetically).
Results	The primate was exposed to SCP-XXXX alone in a secure room. Over the course of one hour, SCP-XXXX and the primate had minimal interaction. Once an hour had passed the primate appeared to grow bored with self occupying tasks such as grooming, and approached SCP-XXXX. The primate picked up SCP-XXXX between its fingers and observed it briefly. During this, SCP-XXXX struggled in an attempt to escape. After observing SCP-XXXX, the primate placed the head of SCP-XXXX in its mouth and bit it off, terminating the instance. Following inspection of the primate revealed no adverse effects from the consumption of SCP-XXXX.

Addendum-XXXX-3: SCP-XXXX is presumed, with the results of these tests, to hold an extreme bias in victims. Humans appear to be the exclusive subjects of these infections. The reason for this is currently unknown.

Test-XXXX-Delta-1
Goal	Gain a more exact understanding of how SCP-XXXX's primary effect influences the victim.
Protocol	SCP-XXXX will be introduced to D-8259. Once infected, SCP-XXXX will be allowed to fully infect D-8259. D-8259 will be subjected to various tests involving luck in some way.
Results	D-8259 was restrained and exposed to SCP-XXXX in a secure room. SCP-XXXX climbed up D-8259 and stopped in his hand. Roughly ten seconds later, SCP-XXXX entered D-8259 through the cuticle of D-8259's left thumb. D-8259 described infection as a "tingling, borderline unpleasant sensation under his skin that went from his hand, to his arm, to his neck, and then stopped." Following this, he described a "pinprick of pain somewhere between his neck and head." Roughly five seconds later D-8259 made an exclamation and grasped his head with both of his hands for a brief moment before coming to rest once more. As a baseline test, D-8259 was sat down in a chair with a small trash can sitting behind him. D-8259 was given three rubber balls and instructed to attempt to get them into the trash can by throwing them behind him (in a different way for each ball). D-5289 lobbed the first rubber ball directly behind him and easily landed it in the trash can. D-5289 lobbed the second rubber ball at an angle behind him. After striking the left wall, the ball rebounded off the floor to the back wall. From there, it bounced into the trash can. D-5289 paused momentarily before lobbing the third ball at the wall in front of him. The ball rebounded over his shoulder, striking the trash can and knocking it over before hitting the back wall. The ball landed on the ground and through small bounces and rolling, made its way into the tipped over trash can.

Test-XXXX-Delta-2
Goal	Gain a more exact understanding of how SCP-XXXX's primary effect influences the victim.
Protocol	D-8259 will be presented with six lottery tickets and instructed to attempt to win as much money as possible.
Results	D-8259 was presented with six different lottery tickets: "Petey's Hidden Treasure," "The Nickel 'N' Dime," "Scrooge's Vault," "Of Mice and Money," "There Be Gold," and "Monee Monee Monee![sic]" Along with these, D-8259 was provided a quarter to aid in the revealing of icons. "Petey's Hidden Treasure:" D-8259 scratched off six coverings as instructed by the card and revealed four "X Marks The Spot!" icons. Ticket value: $70. "The Nickel 'N' Dime:" D-8259 scratched off four coverings as instructed by the card and revealed two "George Washington" icons. Ticket value: $10. "Scrooge's Vault:" D-8259 scratched off six coverings as instructed by the card and revealed three "Jacob Marley's Ghost" icons. Ticket value: $45. "Of Mice and Money:" D-8259 scratched off eight coverings as instructed by the card and revealed four "Bunny" icons, a "Lennie" icon, and a "George" icon. Ticket value: $120. "There Be Gold:" D-8259 scratched off four coverings as instructed by the card and revealed two "Prospectin' for Gold" icons. Ticket value: $30. "Monee Monee Monee![sic]:" D-8259 scratched off five coverings as instructed by the card and revealed five ":)" icons. Ticket value: $200.

Test-XXXX-Delta-3
Goal	Gain a more exact understanding of how SCP-XXXX's primary effect influences the victim.
Protocol	D-8259 will be given a slingshot, forty marbles, presented with four standard shooting range targets of varying distance and size, and blindfolded. D-8259 will be instructed to fire ten marbles at each target and told that the more accurate he is, the sooner he will be pardoned of his crimes and be dismissed from Foundation custody back into a civilian life. However, this is not true; we simply look to raise the stakes of the experiment for D-8259.
Results	D-8259 was prepared appropriately and placed in front of the targets. Target One was positioned five meters away and was 80cm x 80cm; Target Two was positioned ten meters away and was 60cm x 60cm; Target Three was positioned fifteen meters away and was 40cm x 40cm; Target Four was positioned twenty meters away and was 20cm x 20cm. T1:D-8259 was able to place all ten marbles into the target, six of which placed within the circle. T2: D-8259 was able to place six of the ten marbles into the target, one of which placed within the circle. T3: D-8259 was able to place four of the ten marbles into the target, none were placed within the circle. T4: D-8259 was able to place one marble into the target, none were placed within the circle.

Subject: Attempted escape of D-Class personnel, designated "8259"

---

[BEGIN LOG]

— Dr. Verne and assistant researchers (4) and D-Class personnel 8259 enter test area 357.

— Dr. Verne and assistant researchers (4) leave D-Class personnel 8259 alone in test area 357 and enter next-door room.

— D-Class personnel 8259 (here on: 8259) opens the door of test area 357.

— 8259 exits test area 357 cautiously, then begins to sprint down a hallway in Sector C. (Security was notified at this time)

— 8259 continues sprinting, attempting to find an exit.

— 8259 turns a corner to face Guard 1. 8259 double-takes and returns to the previous hallway with Guard 1 now in pursuit.

— Guard 1 takes stance and fires three shots at 8259. Two shots miss and one strikes 8259 in the shoulder as 8259 trips at the perfect moment.

— 8259 regains composure and quickly turns a corner, slipping into a janitorial closet. Guard 1 fails to notice.

— 8259 exits and runs the opposite direction. (Information issued to security as to 8259's new path at this time.)

— 8259 runs down two more hallways before being spotted by Guard 2 and Guard 3 who are at the other end of the hallway.

— Guard 2 and Guard 3 attempt to fire on 8259 before he can vacate. Guard 2's gun jams and Guard 3 strikes the crook of 8259's left leg. 8259 evades them.

— 8259 continues to flee, running down two more hallways at random while limping.

— 8259 is seen fleeing by Guard 4. Guard 4 begins to give chase.

— Guard 4 takes stance and fires two shots at 8259. One misses and the second strikes 8259 in the back of his neck, terminating him.

[EXPUNGED DATA RESTORED BY AN UNKNOWN USER]
Additional Note from Dr. Verne: If you ask me, this was an amazing result. While unintentional, it certainly made good data. This incident is just further proof of the hypothesis that SCP-XXXX's primary effect has a scale. The more important (like not being shot) the less it will work, but the less important (scratching lottery tickets) the more often it will work in favor of the victim.

Catalogue Identification: Post Incident-XXXX-A Meeting Audio Log

Date & Time: 2018-04-19, 0830

---

<BEGIN LOG>

Dr. August: The time is currently 8:30 a.m. I am here with Dr. Jackson Verne, head researcher for SCP-XXXX. Two months ago, there was an incident involving SCP-XXXX and D-Class personnel number 8-2-5-9. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the future of both Dr. Verne and the testing of SCP-XXXX.

Dr. August: Now, Dr. Verne, what occurred on February 5th, 2018 according to you?

Dr. Verne: Of course.

Dr. Verne clears his throat

Dr. Verne: On February 5th, at around 2:00 p.m., D-8259 apparently attempted to flee Bio Site 95. The best guess of both my colleagues and I is that D-8259 became inadvertently aware of the primary effect of SCP-XXXX and decided to abuse it. We had sat him in a secure room to begin Test-XXXX-Delta-4, and left the room for another one nearby. One of my assistant researchers had failed to lock the door behind them -a very unusual happenstance- and D-8259 was able to open the door and flee while we discussed procedure in the other room. D-8259 attempted to escape by fleeing the room and finding the exit, however he was shot and killed by a guard before he could find an exit.

Dr. August: Dr. Verne, which of your assistants were typically the one to lock the door? And why did they fail to do so then?

Dr. Verne: I won't be answering that, sir. I am of the belief that the assistant was unknowingly the victim of the workings of SCP-XXXX. D-8259 had it set in his mind that he would attempt to utilize the effects of SCP-XXXX to escape the facility and SCP-XXXX simply provided as normal. The door remaining unlocked was just one of the benefits D-8259 gained from SCP-XXXX.

Dr. August: You do realize, Dr. Verne, that you must reveal the identity of the assistant. You are an employee of the Foundation and my subordinate.

Silence

Dr. Verne: Let's just say I was in charge of doing it and move on.

Dr. August grunts

Dr. August: I also feel the need to bring up your official notes on the incident log. Surely you realize that labeling an escape attempt by a D-Class on a Foundation document as, essentially, a good thing to happen was an absolutely idiotic thing to do? Our goal here to to contain Dr. Verne, and when you make statements like that it reflects poorly on Site 95.

Dr. Verne: I guess that explains the removal of what I'd label as a perfectly sound observation.

Dr. August: We'll handle this later, we have more pressing issues. The next thing I want to discuss is further testing of SCP-XXXX.

Dr. Verne: I'm sure you're well aware how I feel about testing SCP-XXXX. It's been two months Dr. August. Two months. The only thing standing in my way is your refusal to provide me with adequate personnel.

Dr. August: Dr. Verne, do you really think I'll just hand over more D-Class subjects to you? Even after the incident with 8259?

Dr. Verne: I'm sorry, but I still fail to see the issue here. D-Class are meant to be subjects, that's why we bring them in. They are meant to be disposable, it's in the name-!

Dr. August: That is just a crude rumor! The "D" in D-Class does not stand for "disposable!" It is simply just the next letter in descending order-!

Dr. Verne: And yet my point still stands! All I need is more fodde- personnel!

Dr. August: The Foundation doesn't just hand out D-Class personnel to any researcher that has even the smallest need for them. And you must remember, they are human beings! We can't just treat them as pests that happen to be under our thumb. And the fact that you referred to them as "fodder" and tried to hide it says a lot about your morals!

Dr. Verne: Oh! So now the Foundation suddenly cares about them? They're death row! It isn't like they were long for this world anyways!

Dr. August: On top of the moral weight of tossing human life away like tissues, it is simply uneconomic! Death row inmates are a finite resources! Sure, there are a lot in total, but if we didn't have regulations we would burn through massive numbers of them than would be sustainable! Not many people are enacting death row level crimes constantly in the grand scheme of things.

Dr. Verne: Okay, so no D-Class. Got it. But the discussion doesn't end there, doc. Surely you've gotten my emails with ideas for possible D-Class-less testing I could do? What about those?

Dr. August laughs

Dr. August: Do you mean ideas like your "brain in suspension?" Dr. Verne, I'm afraid that we don't live in a ten cent sci-fi novel. On top of that, how would an isolated brain help you in any way to test SCP-XXXX? You have no body to work with or drive the wants of the brain.

Dr. Verne: If you would just give me the time to-

Dr. August: Jackson! I'm afraid that at this point, that testing of SCP-XXXX is too costly. We've gotten minimal positive results and the resources it would take to continue testing SCP-XXXX to the extremes does not outweigh the expected benefits we could possibly discover! I'm shutting down all testing of SCP-XXXX indefinitely.

Dr. Verne: Ending all testing? Your tone sure has changed, hasn't it? You came to me and put me in charge of finding a way to exploit SCP-XXXX for the Foundation's benefit. You told me that the potential of SCP-XXXX was great and that if I could find a way to utilize SCP-XXXX without the fatal side effect, I could change the Foundation for the better!-

Dr. August: I never once told you that you would pose as a large figure if you solved the issue. I simply stated the Foundation's goals with SCP-XXXX and your grandiose views of yourself and your work clouded your vision!

Dr. Verne: You're just lying because you know this is on tape! Don't look so shocked, do you think I'm that dumb? It'll be a cold day in Hell before the Foundation doesn't record every damn thing anyone says around here! Everything is data and it's all about data! I'm sick of it, frankly!

Silence

Dr. August: Well, the good news is that you wont need to be worrying about that for much longer.

Dr. Verne: Hey hey hey! You aren't gonna say what I think you're gonna say? I'll have you know that-!

Dr. August: I'm afraid that this meeting hasn't gone as I hoped it would. As of this moment, I'm terminating your employment under the Foundation.

Dr. Verne: Termi- Dr. August, you have to be kidding me!

Dr. August: I'm afraid not. You have shown yourself to be an egocentric individual with a tendency for hype fixation on all the wrong things. It is my belief that you are more of a liability to this containment site than you are a benefit to it.

Sound of a chair being pushed on the ground quickly

Dr. August: Dr. Verne, please sit down.

Dr. Verne: Why should I? Wasn't I just fired?

Dr. August: There's still just one more thing I want to ask you.

Dr. Verne: You can ask me from here. Ain't like I've left yet.

Dr. August sighs

Dr. August: Jackson, what happened? Where did this rampant obsession come from?

Silence

Silence

Dr. Verne: Who can say that they never wanted to stand amongst giants?

<END LOG>

Additional Note from Site Director Dr. August: While Dr. Jackson Verne left peacefully following this meeting, I would still advise that the Foundation keep an eye on him. This event could lead to him collaborating with a group that holds anti-Foundation ideals.

+ Interview with James Higgins

Interviewed: Andrew Higgins, James

Important Notes: Interview conducted with James Higgins three days after his detainment by the Foundation following reports from a field agent about him.

<Begin Log, [2016-12-09 - 1430]>

Sounds of tapping

Interviewer: Hello Mr. Higgins, I'm Jeremy Freid (alias), how are you?

James Higgins: Where am I? Who- who are you people? Why'd you take me here?

Interviewer: Mr. Higgins, I work for the government as a social worker. We received many reports of your behavior around [REDACTED]. Many were concerned about your physical and mental wellbeing.

James Higgins: I… am perfectly fine. I don't need any social worker to pat me down and tear into my psyche.

Interviewer: Mr. Higgins, we have no intention of bringing any harm to you. Now, I'm here to conduct a formal interview with you so we can get a better grasp on what exactly is causing you to feel and act this way.

Tapping continues

James Higgins: I already told ya, there's nothing wrong with me!

Interviewer: Mr. Higgins, you are showing symptoms of schizophrenia and paranoia. We just want to help you resolve these issues.

Silence

James Higgins: Fine.

Interviewer: Thank you very much, let me just get my papers in order and we will begin.

Tapping continues

Sounds of papers shuffling

Interviewer: Mr. Higgins? Would it be possible for you to stop tapping the table, our interview is about to start?

James Higgins: Y- yes… yes. I can.

Tapping continues

Interviewer: Mr. Higgins.

James Higgins: Right right right! I'm sorry.

Interviewer: Thank you. Now, some of the reports have you quoted as saying, "I have an alien in me, it slid through my ass and hooked itself onto my brain." Do you truly believe that an alien entity has infected you?

James Higgins: Of course I do! What reasons would I have for- for lying about something like that? It went in and stayed there!

Interviewer: How would you describe this alien creature?

James Higgins: I dunno man, it was kinda like an earthworm but it was more plastic-y. It had ridges and stuff.

Interviewer: It had an exoskeleton-?

James Higgins: Yeah! That thing! An-an- and it was more of a clay red than a brown. Oh! It also had a mouth! Mouth like a crocodile!

Interviewer: Hmm. When did you first encounter this "worm?"

James Higgins: Wait wait wait… what are you black ties up to? You tryin' to take it from me? Like hell I'll tell you where I got it!

Interviewer: Can you tell me why we'd want it? From our perspective, it seems like you simply imagined up a creature that infected you.

James Higgins: You really don't know? It's crazy man, crazy crazy crazy.

Laughter

James Higgins: The worm thing? It may- makes me real lucky. I mean, REAL lucky.

Interviewer: And when did you first discover this?

James Higgins: The luck part? I didn't discover it. It was part of the product description, baby.

Interviewer: So you did not find the creature by yourself, you purchased it?

James Higgins: I thought I already told you that I wasn't spilling the beans on where I got it! You g-men need to learn how to listen.

Interviewer: I suppose you truly won't budge on the topic so let's move on.⁵ Would you care to elaborate just how you became infected with the creature?

James Higgins: Well, when I got the package, I- I was pretty elated. I opened it up and sittin' in it was the worm and a note that just said "let it in." I didn't know what that meant so I went to set the box on my kitchen counter then message the seller about it. Just so happens that- that the box slipped from my hands and the worm got out. Thing started flopping about, going after me and in my panic I tripped. It took advantage of that, slipped up my pant leg, and, heh, well you know!

Laughter

Interviewer: I do believe that's all we have for you right now, Mr. Higgins. Do you have any final remarks or questions for us?

James Higgins: Right on up! Schwoop!

Laughter continues

Interviewer: Mr. Higgins.

Laughter continues

Interviewer: Mr. Higgins!

Laughter calms

Interviewer: Do you have anything else you'd like to ask or say?

James Higgins: (Giggling) Yeah yeah, how long till I get outta here?

Interviewer: Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to that. I apologize. Now, I believe that concludes our session here. Once I've left the room, two guards will come in and escort you to your holding area so please do not panic. Thank you for your time, Mr. Higgins.

James Higgins: Hold- hold the phone! Holding cell? You can't be serious? I ain't no prisoner! You can't keep me here! I am an American and I've committed no crime! Hey! Stop packing up your stupid papers and listen to me!

Interviewer: I'm sorry Mr. Higgins, but our interview has concluded. Please take care.

Door opens, then closes

James Higgins: Not like you- you could keep me locked up anyways! I'll just get out! I ain't goin' insane! I got the worm and I'm lucky! Just you wait and see!

<End Log>

Additional Notes: It seems that Mr. Higgins was true to his word as he performed many attempts at escaping his holding cell. Some were nearly successful. I highly suggest that we refrain from keeping anymore than one individual infected with SCP-XXXX locked up at any time.

+ Investigation-XXXX-A Report

POST INVESTIGATION REPORT
LOCATION: Home of James Higgins

---

After James Higgins had been successfully detained, Foundation agents investigated his home for evidence of where Higgins had acquired SCP-XXXX and use of SCP-XXXX by Higgins.

The house's interior was in surprisingly good condition.
Every room in the house (excluding Higgins' bedroom) were clean, tidy, and absent of any abnormalities.

The only place where any abnormal items were found was in Higgins' bedroom. After a full search had been conducted, the following items of interest were found:

• Various receipts for cashed-in lottery tickets of varying worth
• Gambling paraphernalia (e.g. a card deck, dice)
• Receipts from various NFL and NCAA bookies
• A small wooden box containing a handwritten note reading "let it in."
• A journal containing sketches of SCP-XXXX
• A locked drawer containing a photo of a woman and a wedding ring
• A letter from a "Ms. Higgins" where she rejects an unknown proposition

Alongside these, a desktop computer was also recovered from the house. Foundation technical workers were able to quickly gain access to the desktop and the contents were investigated.

The only item of note on the computer was the "Tor" web browsing application. Encrypted data uncovered by Foundation technicians revealed a previously visited website. This site was an online store claiming to sell a "Fortune Worm" for the price of 12,000 USD. This discovery allowed Foundation technicians to uncover the location of the seller.

[BEGIN LOG]

Agents approach the house

Agent Ross walks up to the front door and knocks

Silence

Agent Ross knocks again

Silence

Agent Quinn: Doesn't seem like anyone's home.

Agent Fowley: I'm not so sure, a car's still here. Surely someone is home.

Agent Quinn: Bah, cars in driveways mean nothing. There are tons of other ways someone could leave their car here and scamper off somewhere else.

Agent Fowley: Good point. Should I call in a team to get us in?

Agent Ross: Let's try to keep this from the neighbors for as long as possible. Less work for us then.

Agent Quinn: What do you suggest we do then? No one inside's gonna open for us, if there even is anyone in there.

Agent Ross: Let's check around the house, look for some sort of emergency key. Plenty of people leave them around in case they need to get in and don't have their key on them.

Twelve minutes pass as the agents search around the outside of the home. Agent Ross then calls them back after he finds a key underneath a potted plant in the backyard

Agent Ross approaches the door once again and unlocks it with the found key

The door is opened and all three agents walk inside

The interior of the house is in disarray, furniture is turned over and trash is littered all around

Agent Fowley: (Gags) Ugh! What in the world is that smell?!

Agent Quinn: Call it a hunch, but I think if anyone was living here, they aren't living anymore.

Agent Ross: Let's start downstairs and move up.

Directions are given and the agents search the downstairs. Forty minutes pass before they reconvene at the stairs

Agent Ross: Well, did anyone find anything significant?

Agent Quinn: The garage was mostly just filled with trash, but there was something like sixty empty bottles of really expensive liquor and wine. Kitchen was just filled with moldy food and the dining room table had some legal papers on it. Seemed like they were about some movement of a large sum of money.

Agent Fowley: The office was also fairly useless. The computer didn't have anything I could find, all of the books were bog-standard, and no secret compartments in any of the books or behind a panel in the bookshelf. The only thing worth noting is that the trashcan had a lot of papers related to a normal fluorescent lights-cubical-office job, but they were all dated for over two years ago. There was also one of those fireproof metal safes.

Agent Ross: A whole lot better than what I found. All there was was a bunch of garbage that seemed to suggest a life filled to the brim with material pleasures. Junk food, magazines, bills, you name it.

Agent Fowley: I suppose that means we're headed upstairs?

Brief silence

Agent Ross: It seems so.

Agent Fowley sighs

The group walk up stairs and search a bathroom, supply closet, and a guest room with no significant findings

The group arrives at the last door

Agent Fowley: (Gags) I think it's safe to say we found where that horrid smell is coming from.

Agent Ross: (Struggles to compose himself) I'd say so… I feel like I could cut this miasma with a knife.

Agent Quinn: Let's just get this over with.

Agent Quinn opens the door to reveal the master bedroom

Agent Quinn and Ross gag as the door is opened and the smell escapes, Agent Fowley vomits off to the side

Inside the master bedroom a corpse sits on a king-sized bed, a shotgun resting nearby. The corpse is slouched forward, revealing that a large portion of the back of it's head is missing. Decomposition has begun. Behind it on the wall is a large, dark stain accompanied by a section presumably damaged by the follow-through of the shotgun pellets

Agent Fowley: Having regained his composure Ha! Just, you know- what a great first "in-the-field" experience! I get to deal with the chick who kills herself and just rots away!

Agent Ross: John, I need you to pull yourself together. I know that this isn't the most ideal experience, and I want to be here just as much as you do, but we need to search the room. Then, we get out of here as fast as possible.

All three agents enter the room

After fifteen minutes, they exit with a large locked box, a laptop, and hard drive

[END LOG]

RECOVERED ITEMS:

• A large, locked box
• A laptop
• A hard drive
• Bank documents
• Various forms of ID
• A small fireproof safe

Following the investigation, a much larger team of agents were dispatched to the home to perform a secondary investigation and clean-up under the guise of a company hired by Miss Jamie to help her clean her house in preparation of her moving out.

No other additional items of interest were recovered. As of now, the house still remains for sale due to the neighbors scaring off potential buyers with rumors of a murder. There is no evidence that could prove this, gossip was simply spread about Miss Jamie's long absence and sudden move away. There is no cause for Foundation interference with this situation as all outside the street regard it as petty revenge due to jealousy over Miss Jamie's apparent wealth.

+ Overview of items from Investigation-XXXX-B

Inspection of the items acquired from the home of Jamie Yellow following Investigation-XXXX-B.

ITEM #1: A set of official bank documents for a foreign bank in [DATA REDACTED]. Documents detail the depositing and withdrawing of money to the total sum of ~4,590,332 USD.

ITEM #2: A set of various forms of ID, all attributed to a "Jamie Yellow," nothing out of the ordinary.

ITEM #3: A black, fireproof safe. Contents revealed to be more bank statements and falsified IDs.

ITEM #4: An HP laptop. Contents were inspected and nothing unexpected was found.

ITEM #5: A hard drive; when discovered it was not connected to any computer and was stowed away under Ms. Yellow's bed. The hard drive was connected to a computer and contents were inspected. Inside were various receipts for customers from an online black market run by Ms. Yellow. Receipts contained the associated payment form, IP addresses, and home addresses/P.O. boxes for the purchasers.

ITEM #6: A large, locked box. Lock was broken and the contents of the box were revealed to be a journal titled "Travel Journal" and a small terrarium containing ~110 deceased instances of SCP-XXXX and ~20 live instances.

+ Jamie Yellow's Travel Journal

Inside of a lock box recovered from Jamie Yellow's home were instances of SCP-XXXX and a journal labeled "Travel Journal." Said journal details a backpacking trip taken by Jamie Yellow and two associates (Charlie Fracher, Terrance Gonney) through the wilderness of [DATA REDACTED].⁶

During their trip⁷ the group stops at an unknown location described by Jamie Yellow as an "unsuspecting village. Log walls, thatch roofs, and everything."

+ IDEA - 1

Something Creepy, something that’s deadly, maybe, I could make…
Maybe the portal forest related to SCP - 860… but I have a plan
A strange affect that is on a broken wall, once entering, you appear in a straight path, which some reason isn’t the same on the cameras, walking poses a risk of stepping on those bark things that ,are that crack sound when you step on them, there is a 50% chance of immediate cardiac arrest, which can’t be cured (Unless SCP - 500 is used, obviously) and a 50% chance of the person being so paranoid that they attack anyone, ignoring any pain or injuries, and seem to be unable to die. Upon making the end, it’s a fence, that when told to cross, either they: Cannot hear it, OR: They claim to have a sense of danger, despite being threatened to be shot. Good idea, I should add more, also, it’s currently is contained on a wall, and surveillance is on it 24/7 to see if it changes areas, if it does, a random wall will get it, anywhere, and when in 10 meters it will have a memetic affect to “Walk through it” and once doing so, they appear in that forest. 100% great, probably gonna fail but, worth a shot.

Wow! You flipped a card and got: SCP-5237!!! You ca reload the page or go to the next.
DATE: 07 Mar 2021 20:05

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5237 is to be contained in a 35 m x 35 m x 10 m containment cell with powerful dehumidifiers installed. No liquids are allowed within the containment cell. As no personnel are allowed to enter the containment chamber, maintenance is to be carried out by remote-controlled robots. SCP-5237 is to be kept under observation at all times by cameras. Affected subjects are to be terminated.

Testing is strictly prohibited, violation of this rule is grounds for termination (See Incident-5237-A).

Description: SCP-5237 is a plush toy resembling a Harbor seal(Phoca vitulina). The object is 23 cm in length and 10 cm in height. The inside of SCP-5237 is filled with an unknown liquid of inconsistent and constantly changing density. Mass of the object has ranged from 150 g to 28 kg. SCP-5237 is covered in fur corresponding to Phoca vitulina, Pusa hispida, Erignathus barbatus, Lobodon carcinophagus and Leptonychotes weddellii. The fur has been dyed grey. The fur and the dye are non-anomalous.

Whenever a human resides within 25 m from SCP-5237 or directly observes it, the subject will suffer from the delusion that he/she is a pinniped. Subjects lose the ability to speak and vocalizations become increasingly seal-like. Victims start to move on land by undulation along the ground. 30 minutes after initial exposure, subjects will seek out the nearest body of water capable of accomodating them, and will submerge in it. At this point, subjects are deluded that they can hold their breath for 20 minutes, which will cause them to spend long periods of time underwater, more than they air supply allows. Death is usually caused by drowning. Affected subjects spread the cognitohazard to anyone within a 7 m radius.

Subjects who had made physical contact with pinnipeds at any point in their lives for at least 30 minutes will not be affected by SCP-5237's cognitohazard. Whenever a subject that meets this criterion resides within 25 m from SCP-5237, they will enter a state similar to sleep paralysis, and they do not require any nutrition or hydration in this state. SCP-5237 will teleport any liquid (except those currently in living organisms) in a 30 m radius to the victims lungs, this includes humidity. If no liquids are present within 30 m from SCP-5237, water will slowly materialize around the subject until it completely covers it, which leads to drowning. However this process is extremely slow, taking over 3 weeks to complete.

Discovery: SCP-5237 was discovered on July 20, 1999 in the souvenir shop of [REDACTED] Zoo, after strange behaviors of visitors and deaths of staff assigned to seals. Over the course of 3 days, 4568 similar reports were filed. MTF α-1 was deployed to discover the cause and contain/ retreive it. All 15 members of the detachment were affected by SCP-5237 and had to be terminated. On July 25, 1999, remote-controlled robots were used to locate and retreive the object. Foundation aircraft disguised as civilian airplanes were used to deploy aerosolized amnestics in the area after the mission.

Item #: SCP-5962

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5962 is to be accompanied by two guards at all time and cannot be left unsupervised, no matter where SCP-5962 is found. Unless there are no other guards, the two best guards must be assigned to SCP-5962 immediately after being found. No other measures need to be kept if these requirements are met, and if possible, have SCP-███ accompany SCP-5962.
In the case that SCP-5962 would disappear and could no longer be seen in the site it was found in, all foundation personnel should go back to their originally assigned tasks.

Description: SCP-5962-B is a humanoid shaped object, measuring in at 1.93m (6.332021ft) in height and exactly 0.3m (0.984252ft) from left to right shoulder. SCP-5962 has the appearance of a thirty-year-old man and has dark blonde coloured hair, with a foundation scientist’s coat. SCP-5962 has symbols on its hand, when scanned they can open any door. Unlike SCP-005 and other entrance/exit opening SCPs, SCP-5962’s hand cannot open normal doors and instead can only open mechanical entrances/exits. SCP-5962’s main anomalous trait is having the ability to transform at will (SCP-5962-A) and jump between dimensions in this form. SCP-5962-A’s has the looks of a canine (to be specific SCP-5962-A looks like a white wolf) but retains the intellect it had before, it also retains its height and width though it’s length is now 3.86m (12.66404ft).

SCP-5962 has allowed itself to be put through multiple tests, showing that while in humanoid form it possesses no anomalous effects, but somehow can survive any attack thrown at it. While in canine state, SCP-5962-A has incredible regenerative properties it also cannot use its anomalous effects while damaged, though SCP-5962-A’s "wormholes" do not disappear while it is under attack, allowing SCP-5962 to escape as soon as it senses danger. SCP-5962-B is also known for its incredible abilities of being able to connect itself together even when all cells are destroyed. SCP-5962-A cannot be recorded on photos or recordings, as artificial light is absorbed instead of being reflected, this also means that SCP-5962-A cannot be seen while in any foundation facilities. Though SCP-5962-B has shown to be almost 100% biologically human, it has not died: after being crushed; after being burned to ash; and after being vaporised. Though the last experiment (after being vaporised) it took 15 hours longer than usual to become stable and back to it's original form.

SCP-5962 was discovered on the 6th of September 1835 on Hawthorne Ave, Cedar Key, Florida, North America. It was found while two 40-year-old men were hunting, the men shot at SCP-5962-A and were fatally wounded, however SCP-5962-B stitched their wounds. The police reported wolf marks that had been stitched, but no one was at the sight of the crime, this peaked Dr.████████’s interest and went out looking with 4 MTF staff. After 36 hours of searching, the scientist decided to head back to their assigned site. As the foundation members were leaving SCP-5962-B stopped the guards and introduced himself as “The Night” and after his introduction he asked if the foundation members would take him with them back to Site-██, ever since SCP-5962 travels between Sites, but decides to spend most its time in Site-██ (the first Site it had been in). SCP-5962 often goes around the Foundation Sites, claiming to be Dr. Nightly, he is allowed to use level 4 clearance by the O5 council, but can not use his anomalous effects for anything higher ranked.

Interviewed: SCP-5962

Interviewer: Dr. No

<Begin Log, [23:59]>

Dr. No: I think you know what we’re going to as of you.

SCP-5962: Yes, it is about my original forms DNA, is it not?

Dr. No: You are correct, we’d like to have a sample of your DNA.

Scp-5962: Understood doc…

Dr. No: If you wou-

SCP-5962: Here you go doc, this contains some blood and my skin tissues.

Dr. No: (Hesitantly) Thanks 5962.

<End Log, [24:05]>

Foot Notes: SCP-5962 was extremely agitated through this entire meeting and had started peeling away at its skin but was showing no signs of pain. SCP-5962 was also mumbling about something and starting to look more transparent, no other signs of distress nor abnormalities.

Recovered: File 34

Interviewed: SCP-5962

Interviewer: Dr.█████

<Begin Log, [46:94]>

SCP-5962: Right, so what is it today doc?

Doctor: Tell me, where did you come from?

SCP-5962: (jokingly) I came from a womb.

(Doctor Pulls out a shotgun)

Doctor: One more time, answer me correctly.

SCP-5962: On two conditions, I'm called Doctor Night, and I get level 4 clearance.

Doctor: YOU'RE NOT IN ANY PLACE TO MAKE DEMANDS, now answer the question.

SCP-5962: Doc, you're not getting it, this is not a simple matter to be settled with a gun.

(SCP-5962 disappears under the interrogation table)

Doctor: Where'd you go you little beast?

<End Log, [00:05]>

Foot Notes: SCP-5962 looked extremely angry when the doctor didn't call SCO-5962 Doctor Night. After this interaction SCP-5962 has murdered Dr.█████ by crushing him under his own pressure. When SCP-5962 was called Dr. Night it became SCP-5962-B and was very friendly with the person that calld it that name, and it acts like a dog. This has lead scientists to conclude that SCP-5962 had a former master and must have loved it at extreme levels.

Recovered: File 67

Interviewed: SCP-5962

Interviewer: Dr. No

<Begin Log, [05:50]>

Dr. No: So, 5962, we have some information, that may interest you.

SCP-5962: Oh, something that interests me?

Dr. No: Yes, we have confirmed 19 SCP-001s and are wondering if you have any insight on this.

SCP-5962: Ah yes, the infamous true SCP-001, though I do know which SCP it is, I cannot disclose that information.

Dr. No: (Shocked) You know which SCP is true SCP-001? Please tell us researchers.

SCP-5962: Sorry Doc, No I can't do that. It forces us, it does not allow us too tell you.

Dr. No: It does not allow you? Please do elaborate.

SCP-5962: I believe I've already said too much but let me assure you, it will one day reveal itself.

Dr. No: One day? I'm starting to doubt you, though you haven't lied before. I shall believe what you say, for now.

SCP-5962: Now that I helped you out a bit, could you mind answering a question for me?

Dr. No: Sure, please ask away.

SCP-5962: I have wanted to see Κερί, I have seen documents about some other SCPs that had an owner going by the same name.

Dr. No: Sorry I have no clue, too what you're referring about.

SCP-5962: I thought you might not know who/where he is. I miss him, we'd used to play games together and would have so mu—

(SCP-5962 seems agitated and keeps moving)

SCP-5962: So sorry, but it would seem as if I need to leave, I have urgent matters to attend to.

<End Log, [06:06]>

Foot Notes: SCP-5962 showed extreme signs of stress and anxiety at the end of the meeting, as if being told bad information. We now know the name of the presumed owner of SCP-5962. After SCP-5962 disappeared, there was a containment breach at site-███ though no evidence of SCP-5962 helping could be found, causing SCP-5962 to have no retaliation for this event.

SCP-5962 is to be kept far from reality benders, due to unforeseen circumstances.

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a sealed, reinforced compartment hidden in the reference bookcase at Site-12's main library. To improve SCP-XXXX's security, numerous fabrication and falsification measures have been performed.

All information and data recorded regarding SCP-XXXX, digitally or printed, must be encoded with a Twain-Ottendorf cypher¹⁰. Any communication regarding SCP-XXXX or affiliated projects must be done through either manual communication, such as sign language or dactylology or through encrypted text.

Access to SCP-XXXX may only be granted to personnel of Level 4 clearance or higher and all personnel initiated to SCP-XXXX must undergo Tier 3 Vetting. All testing requests must be approved by SCP-XXXX's head researcher, Dr Vidya Durrani and site director, Dr Polyphemus Allgrove and must be overseen by Dr Durrani. All test results must be encrypted and transferred to MTF Phi-15 ("The Eucatastrophe").

As part of these containment procedures, Project Marty Sue personnel and MTF Phi-15 are authorized to work alongside pre-approved members of GoI-α-019 (“The Serpent’s Hand”) (see Negotiation Log XXXX-2 for further details).

Description:

Panel from SCP-XXXX during test

SCP-XXXX is a 26-page anthology comic book under the title, Tales of Peculiarity. In the event SCP-XXXX is touched by a reader, its entire content will transform into a new iteration. The change is instantaneous and will cover SCP-XXXX's narrative, artwork, paper type, font, and language. The only unchanging element is the title, although the title's art style can change to fit the covers' new appearance and its language will also change. The language used within SCP-XXXX with each iteration is always one the reader can comprehend.

Experiments have proved that SCP-XXXX's content will only change if it is unopened. If it is left open and picked up by the same or another reader or passed open, its content will remain the same. However, SCP-XXXX doesn't have to be fully read to transform its content. Items place within SCP-XXXX will not be affected by this transformation.

In its closed, unread state, SCP-XXXX is completely resistant to physical damage and does not undergo embrittlement. However, in its open state, damages or vandalisation to SCP-XXXX, such as scribblings, incineration or piercings, will transpire into the content of SCP-XXXX, and affect the narrative. However, this is only achievable if pages following those damaged are unread. If the pages vandalised have already been read by the reader, they will not transpire into the narrative. All vandalisation will vanish with every new iteration, regardless of whether it affected the narrative or not.

---

Discovery:

SCP-XXXX was first discovered by staff a few days following the partial success of Operation Kompa Nanzi¹¹. Whilst the expedition resulted in 7 casualties and the loss of a GoI-α-019 defector, numerous documents were recovered by personnel, including several damaged books from Nx-01 itself. The documents and books were taken to Site-91 to be studied and archived. Whilst neither initially showed any anomalous properties, the documents provided substantial insight into GoI-α-019's methodology and personnel.

On 12/09/2011, Dr Emyr Thomas accessed the archive's to study the recovered book, only to find SCP-XXXX in its place. Immediately, Site-91 was put into lockdown and checked for breaches in security. However, after extensive checks, no breaches were discovered and it was concluded that the remnants of the book had transformed into SCP-XXXX naturally. Following its discovery, SCP-XXXX was tested for physical hazards, cognitohazards and infohazards, where its anomalous capabilities were discovered and noted. After tests failed to discover any threats or hazards, SCP-XXXX moved to Site-12, a site with facilities specialising in literary anomalies, on 22/09/2011 for containment, testing and documentation.

---

Addendum XXXX.1: Experimentation of SCP-XXXX

Experiments began on 12/10/2011. All experiments were authorised by Dr Vidya Durrani. All tests were recorded and every page, including the cover, of SCP-XXXX, were photographed for later research.

Experiment XXXX-03

Date: 12/10/2011
Reader: Researcher, Benjamine Hator, a 27-year-old man with a preference for speculative fiction.
Procedure: Mr Hator was asked to read SCP-XXXX from beginning to end.
Language: American English
Results: SCP-XXXX now told a story called Nocturne, that depicted a teenage couple begin tricked into becoming eternal audience members to a monstrous opera singer.

Experiment XXXX-09

Date: 19/10/2011
Reader: D-3697, a 19-year-old man who enjoyed romantic fiction. D-3697 was also totally blind, as a result of an experience with another SCP.
Procedure: D-3697 was asked to read SCP-XXXX from beginning to end
Language: Portuguese (Written in braille.)
Results: SCP-XXXX story, called Calling All Monsters, told of a town called Sfânghe which is plagued by three classic monsters, a vampire, a werewolf and a demon. After several 'deaths', the monsters were eventually captured and killed, only for it to be revealed that the monsters were nothing more than actors, tricked into being part of a sadistic ritual held by the town. Researchers also noted that the characters in SCP-XXXX all had six digits rather than five

D-3697 reported that he could not only read the text within SCP-XXXX but also 'see' the images, shapes, and colours. This was confirmed by a few questions. When asked to describe how he could see the images, D-3697 commented, "It's like, why I touch them, I get this feeling. Like, when I touch the red, I know it's red." When a researcher was asked to read SCP-XXXX during this iteration, the effect was not registered by them, even when the researcher closed their eyes.
Notes: Experiment suggests SCP-XXXX may be able to exhibit cognitohazards and/or infohazards to assist the reader. — Dr Durrani

Experiment XXXX-25

Date: 19/11/2011
Reader: Junior Researcher, Noriko Ito, a 21-year-old woman who enjoys crime and thriller TV shows and books.
Procedure: Mrs Ito was asked to read SCP-XXXX and to mark one of the pages with a standard HB pencil.
Language: Japanese
Results: SCP-XXXX's tale called Mystery At The Marchioness's Ball began by depicted a detective attempting to solve the theft of a pair of pearl earrings at a costume ball. Upon opening SCP-XXXX, Mrs Ito was asked to mark page 2 and Mrs Ito drew a moustache on the face of a female character within the story.

When Mrs Ito turned to page 3, she was surprised to discover the other characters within SCP-XXXX point out the sudden appearance of a moustache on the character's face. Mrs Ito. The rest of SCP-XXXX's narrative now shifted focus on the sudden appearance of the moustache. SCP-XXXX concluded with the vandalised character, called Ms Banting, leaving her callous and credulous life and joining the circus.
Notes: During this iteration, SCP-XXXX changed from sinistrodextral to dextrosinistral directionality, mirroring the standard formatting found in Japanese manga. — Dr Durrani

Experiment XXXX-40

Date: 02/01/2012
Reader: Researcher, Dr Jerome Haywind, a 53-year-old man who prefers educational books.
Procedure: Dr Haywind was asked to read SCP-XXXX and pierce its paper with an HB pencil.
Language: French
Results: SCP-XXXX story, titled Ghosts, We All Are, opened with two men engaged in a brawl in an empty western saloon. The characters, while human-like in appearance, appeared to have avian characteristics rather than mammalian ones.

After reading the first 4 pages, Dr Haywind was asked to pierce the chest of one of the men on page 4. After doing so, Dr Haywind discovered that the hole made could only be perceived on the 4th page and couldn't be found on the opposite side. The character Dr Hayward had pierced appeared to have his chest ruptured and quickly died, much to the surprise of the second man.

Dr Haywind was asked to make the same piercing on an earlier page to the same character. This time, the piercing did not transpire into the narrative and could be seen on both sides of the page. The story closed with the surviving man meeting a spectre, stating he was ready to "pay his debt" and allowing the spectre to possess him.

Experiment XXXX-53

Date: 07/01/2012
Reader: Researcher, Dr Lilian Davies, a 57-year-old man who enjoyed biographical works.
Procedure: Dr Davies was given a lighter and heat resistant tongs and was asked to set fire to SCP-XXXX when instructed.
Language: American English
Results: SCP-XXXX now depicted a story called Things Were Better Then…, opening with a young, human couple (Edward and Megan) moving into an apartment. On the 4th page, Dr Davies was instructed to set fire to the page. Upon doing so, the fire spread across page 4 but didn't spread to any of the other pages. When Dr Davies turned the page, the fire vanished in between the pages and reappeared when Dr Davies returned to the page. As with all other experiments, the fire had transpired into SCP-XXXX's narrative.

SCP-XXXX's story continued with Megan perishing in the fire, despite Edwards attempt to save her. Later, Edward was gifted a package by an unknown benefactor that contained a silver wristwatch, allowing the user to rewind time and alter the past. Edward would later use the watch to save Megan from the fire. Over the course of their decaying relationship, Edward regularly uses the watch to fix his mistakes. However, Megan later ended their relationship and leave with another man. It was then revealed that Megan had been regularly cheating on Edward throughout their relationship. Bitter and angry, Edward used the watch one last time to ensure Megan perished in the fire. The story closed with Edward persuing one of Megan's lovers, seemingly to commit murder.

Experiment XXXX-62

Date: 11/01/2012
Reader: Field Agent, Mabli Mehra, a 30-year-old woman who enjoys horror stories. Mabli Mehra had also just completed her training in thaumatological studies at the Department of Thaumaturgy.
Procedure: Agent Mehra was asked to draw a thaumaturgic symbol TS-962¹² and TS-019¹³ on to a character within SCP-XXXX.
Language: Urdu
Results: The story, called He Eats!, seemed to take place in mid-twentieth-century South Asia and appeared to be inhabited by anthropomorphic animals rather than humans. SCP-XXXX began with a young teenage boy being chased by two police officers.

On the 7th page, the police manage to corner the boy and shot him. Agent Mehra was instructed to draw TS-962 and TS-019 on the boy. Instead of producing the intended effect, the boy dissolved and embiggened into a mass of fur, bone and claws and began assimilating other denizens and growing in size.

In closing the story, the mass of fur was confronted by six hooded figures, who later revealed themselves to be human and called themselves the Echo's of Men. The six then performed symbolic and verbal, thaumaturgic rituals of their own and managed to contain the mass in a golden, electromagnetic shield. The story concluded with the Echo's speculating what was the sudden cause of the abomination.
Notes: Experiment has determined that thaumaturgical rituals performed on SCP-XXXX can transpire into SCP-XXXX's narrative. Also, Agent Mehra did not recognise the thaumaturgic rituals used by the characters within SCP-XXXX and requested she submits them to the Department of Thaumaturgy for further study. The request was approved. Studies of the rituals are still ongoing.— Dr Durrani

Experiment XXXX-68

Date: 14/01/2012
Reader: D-7894, a 23-year-old man who enjoyed reading historical and educational text.
Procedure: D-7894 was asked to rip a page out of SCP-XXXX, close SCP-XXXX, allowing it to transform then place the ripped page back into SCP-XXXX.
Language: [REDACTED]
Results: [REDACTED]
Notes: Following negotiations held on 16/04/2012, all data regarding Experiment XXXX-20 has been [REDACTED] under the direct order of the O5-6. — Hannah Clarke, Ethics Committee Liaison of Site-12.

Experiment XXXX-75

Date: 24/01/2012
Reader: Level 2 Foundation Illustration, Mrs Lin Bradford, a 23-year-old woman who enjoys superhero and post-apocalyptic comic books. Before joining the Foundation, Mrs Bradford had previously worked as a fine artist and has strong artistic skills. Mrs Bradford also suffers from dyslexia.
Procedure: Mrs Bradford was given fine-nib pens, pencils and numerous photos of D-Class personnel and asked to draw characters into SCP-XXXX based on the D-Class photos when instructed.
Language: British English (Numerous malapropisms and spelling mistakes were found through SCP-XXXX during the experiment.)
Results: SCP-XXXX's story, 13:40 from Bogotá, opened with a drug mule being picked up at an airport and taken to a den in Los Angeles. Upon arrival, the mule was killed and his stomach was excavated for packaging.

On the 10th page, Mrs Bradford was instructed to draw a character into SCP-XXXX and match its art style as close as possible. Using the photo's as references, Mrs Bradford drew a male character into one of the panels. Upon turning the page, the characters within the story were horrified to discover a lifeless body suddenly appear within their den. Mrs Bradford was instructed to draw another character, to which the same reaction occurred within SCP-XXXX. After three further attempts, each producing synonymous results, Mrs Bradford was asked to desist. The story concluded with the characters panicking as the bodies Mrs Bradford drew disintegrated.
Notes: Mrs Bradford commented that SCP-XXXX's art style during the experiment matched her own personal style. — Dr Durrani

Site Director Note: As of ██/██/████, all experimentation involving SCP-XXXX is to be suspended until further notice. — Dr Polyphemus Allgrove

Addendum XXXX.2: Incident XXXX-Alpha

INCIDENT REPORT

---

INCIDENT #: XXXX-Alpha
DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 17/02/2012

---

On 17/02/2012, Foundation intercepted a police radio transmission made by the ███ ██████ Police Department in █████ ██████, ███ ███████, California. The location described on the transmission had been under investigation and observation by the police for potential drug trafficking. The Foundation intervened when one of the armed officers reported that the drugs traders claimed that "dead bodies just started appearing around us". Upon arriving at the scene, Foundation quickly seized control over the investigation and ascertained the 6 bodies. Class-A amnestics were later administered to the police, drug traffickers and nearby civilians.

---

The 6 bodies were taken to Site-95 for further study later that day. When they were dissected, it was discovered that whilst the bodies appeared human externally, they possessed no internal organs besides a muscular system and skeleton. Further, the bodies tissue possessed no cellular structure or genetic information, despite being chemically identical to human tissue.

The bodies and the incident were tentatively given the designation SCP-████ and were pending containment and classification until it was discovered via cross-examination that the incident shared characteristics and events similar to those depicted in SCP-XXXX in Experiment XXXX-75.

All testing regarding SCP-XXXX was suspended until further notice. SCP-XXXX's threat level has been changed from ● Green to ● Yellow.

Following the suspension, Dr Durrani made several requests to Dr Allgrove to continue testing SCP-XXXX's capabilities. All requests were denied by Dr Allgrove who commented that SCP-XXXX's sudden reality-bending capabilities were too much of a security risk to continue testing.

SUBJECT: Analysis of Incident XXXX-Alpha

---

Pol, you need to look at these results, because I can't make heads or tails of them! I've checked them four-time and had them confirmed by six different experts. What it's telling us can't be fucking possible.

Results (Time frame: 1 hour, Radius: 2km):
Average Hume Level: 1.003 Hume
Average ARad Level: 200, White, Natural, Loose
Average Akiva Radiation Level: 10 dAv

Those bodies. That incident. If the results of the tests are correct and I can guarantee they are, then what happened in █████ ██████ on 17/02/2012 ██:██ was completely normal. And yet, I couldn't have been. From what I can remember, lifeless bodies randomly manifesting isn't something the average Tom, Dick and Harry sees every day.

Even when I considered variables from external sources, the Kant counter only changes about .00005. As for the ARed levels, I've approached some of Rossi's bunch, to see if they could see something I couldn't, but no. Their thaumaturgical analysis came back with nothing too.

This doesn't make any sense Pol. One, how can these bodies show no anomalous properties besides the fact they clearly were and two, what's this all got to do with that bloody comic.

P.S. I contacted the O5's to see if Project Navigator had spotted something, but I got no reply.

Given the results provided by Prof Murdoch, Dr Durrani submitted another request to continue testing SCP-XXXX. Dr Allgrove denied her request.

SUBJECT: Continued testing of SCP-XXXX
Allgrove, I understand you've got a bunch of bureaucratic knobheads watching over you but you have to understand. This thing, this comic. If I'm right, this could be one of the Foundations greatest assets, and I'm talking beyond Thaumial.

When I was a part of the Hand, I was told a myth. It said that there was a book, a book that couldn't be found in the Library. Could never be found in it. A book that told the story of the universe. Of all existence. From beginning to end.

Most of us believed that the whole thing was just a stupid legend. I was one of them. I mean, the whole thing sounded ridiculous. But after seeing what SCP-XXXX is. What it can do. What I think it can do.

I believe SCP-XXXX is that book or at least part of it, and what it's been showing us all this time is the story. Not just ours, but all of them. All worlds. SCP-XXXX is telling us the story of the multiverse.

We need to continue testing because if we learnt how to control this book, we could answer so many questions. Questions that we thought would never get answered.

SUBJECT: RE: Continued testing of SCP-XXXX
My, my, Vidya, what a very moving piece. Like something out of a film. So please don't take offence when I say that your pathetic little myth isn't going to convince me that experimentation should continue.

Yes, whispers and rumours from the Serpent's Hand have provided some intel for our investigations, but history has also proven that the organisation tends to embellish things for the sake of dramatic flair. You should have realised that when you left the group. Myths are useful, but only if they are backed up with practice and pattern.

Even if SCP-XXXX is this fantastical book you claim it can be, I see no evidence that it is nothing more than a bunch of paper with some ontokinetic properties that need to be contained. Its unmeasurable results certainly are intriguing, but the Foundation isn't interested in discovery when it risks too much. Our priority is safety and caution. Not wonder and discovery.

May I also remind you that your history with The Serpent's Hand is highly confidential, even to those of Level 4 clearance like Murdoch. If I find you mentioning it again, you will be severely reprimanded.

SUBJECT: RE: RE: Continued testing of SCP-XXXX

Did Dr Evelyn Moore enjoy her time with the Dinosaurs and Bigfoot?

As a result of her comments on 25/02/2012, Dr Durrani was detained for a suspected clearance breach and imprisoned at Site-06-3 to await trial, demotion and possible termination. Dr Durrani research history and contact outside of the Foundation was placed under scrutiny.

<BEGIN LOG>

(Council take their seats.)

O5-6: Black, you can bring Dr Durrani in now.

(Bodyguard Black leaves the room. Few moments' later, he returns with Dr Durrani. Dr Durrani takes her seat.)

O5-6: Thank you, Black.

(Bodyguard Black nods and leaves the room.)

O5-6: Good Morning, Dr Durrani.

Durrani: As-Salam-u-Alaikum.

Thompson: Wa-Alaikumussalam wa-Rahmatullah.

Durrani: Nice to see you again Teddy.

Allgrove: Dr Durrani, my I remind you where you are and the position you're in.

Durrani: Fuck you, Polly.

Allgrove: You -

Clarke: People, please. A little control and decorum. O5-6 hasn't come all this way to hear you arguing.

(Pause)

Durrani: My apologies, Hannah.

Clarke: Good. Then, if that's out of the way. Sir.

O5-6: Dr Durrani, do you understand the severity of the clearance breaches you've made?

Durrani: I do. I understand my comments to Dr Allgrove may have been unwise and poorly executed.

Allgrove: (scoffs) You can say that again.

O5-6: Do you now understand that Dr Evelyn Moore's role in SCP-6783 is both incredible vital and secretive and by commentating about it, you could have not only potential alerted her of her role but also prevented an essential SK-Class Dominance Shift Scenario.

Durrani: I mean - I didn't but - Yes, I understand.

O5-6: Do you understand that some details regarding SCP-6783, SCP-3252 and SCP-1000 were highly confidential and you, with Level 3 clearance, were not at liberty to read or investigate such matters.

(Pause)

Clarke: Vidya?

Durrani: Yes, fine, I understand. Can we just get this over with? Demote me, imprison me, terminate me, whatever. Just get it over and done with.

Thompson: We're not going to terminate you Vid.

(Pause)

Durrani: What?

O5-6: How do you know the nature of SCP-6783?

Durrani: I read the files.

O5-6: Yes we know, we checked your access history. But strange thing is, you know things that weren't in the file. At that time, only about 59% of the notes had been retrieved and whilst it was true details regarding the dinosaurs were in there, the details regarding SCP-1000 and SCP-3252 were not. They've only just been discovered. How do you know SCP-1000 was involved with SCP-6783?

(Pause)

Durrani: SCP-XXXX.

Allgrove: Oh, not this shit again!

Clarke: Dr Allgrove, please. Dr Durrani, could you elaborate?

Durrani: During one of the experiments with SCP-XXXX, D-class D-7894 read a story called The Lady Who Waited, Who Watched, which told about a scientist. She'd travelled from the future and was forced to watch the world go by, eventually helped humanity rise up and face their oppressors. It took me a while to release what D-7894 was reading, and when SCP-XXXX showed SCP-1000 and the Day of Flowers, that's when I started to put two and two together.

Clarke: How do you know about the Day of Flowers?

Durrani: My father met and studied with some of the Children of the Sun when we were a part of the Hand. He told me a little about the event so I recognised it when it was depicted in SCP-XXXX.

Thompson: What about SCP-3252?

Durrani: I didn't know anything about that at the time and I only figured out what I'd done after the experiment and I'd done my own research. I didn't intend to do what I did.

Clarke: What did you do about D-7894?

Durrani: I amnesticised him.

Thompson: And after this experiment, that's when you began to believe SCP-XXXX was this - Oh, in lieu of a better definition, mythical book?

Durrani: Yes, although I couldn't be sure and needed to further test SCP-XXXX's capabilities, and after Incident XXXX-Alpha - well, there was no doubt in my mind.

(Pause)

Clarke: Sir?

O5-6: (unintelligible)

(Pause)

O5-6: Dr Durrani, how long have you been a member of the Foundation?

Durrani: 7 years. 8 in June.

O5-6: In those years, you've done good work and despite coming from a hostile organisation, your loyalty has never wavered. You've shown care, diligence and have even helped the Foundation improve its relations with other establishments. A little obsessive, yes, but -

Durrani: Sir?

(O5-6 whispers something to Mrs Clarke, Dr Allgrove and Prof Thompson. Mrs Clarke and Prof Thompson nod whilst Dr Allgrove remains silent, shaking his head.)

O5-6: Thank you, Dr Durrani. Your comments have been most enlightening. We will be in touch soon. Black!

(Bodyguard Black returns to the room.)

Durrani: I don't understand? Am I going to being punished?

O5-6: Not yet.

<END LOG>

On 07/03/2012, following discussions between the Ethics Committee and O5-6, Dr Durrani was released from imprisonment and her Security Clearance was upgraded from Level 3 to Level 4. Despite protests from Dr Allgrove, testing of SCP-XXXX was reinstated by order of O5-6, with approval by the Ethics Committee. However, testing was to remain focused on SCP-XXXX's parachronal properties. Testing its extradimensional interactive properties require approval by both O5-6 and at least 2 Ethics Committee personnel.

UPDATE: As of 14/05/2012, SCP-XXXX has assisted the Foundation substantially, including:

• Preventing a Code: Amber and Code: White containment breach.
• Providing information enabling 3 SCP's object class to be demoted.
• Assisting in locating and detaining members of GoI-003 (“Chaos Insurgency”).

It has also been discovered that SCP-XXXX is capable of describing anomalous properties such as anti-memes or infohazards without exhibiting them. As a result, SCP-XXXX is being considered for reclassification.

Addendum XXXX.3: SCP-XXXX-1 Recordings

If SCP-XXXX-1 manifests within or attempt to access any Foundation Site, the site/s must immediately enter a Code: Gray lockdown and Mobile Task Force Phi-15 will be mobilised.
