Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a Class 1 Anomalous Object container at Site-29 when not undergoing testing or use by foundation personnel. Access to the object must be approved by at least two researchers of Level 3 clearance or higher. Subjects utilizing SCP-XXXX are required to undergo psychiatric evaluation prior and post exposure to SCP-XXXX (See Addendum XXXX-B). Testing of SCP-XXXX must be monitored by Site-29 medical staff in the event of psychological and behavioral abnormalities in subjects post exposure to SCP-XXXX. Under no circumstances are personnel that have been administered amnestetics to be allowed access to SCP-XXXX (See Addendum XXXX-A).

Description: SCP-XXXX is a black eye mask composed of silk, polyester, and rubber. The object exhibits no unusual physical properties apart from its tensile strength, which resembles that of hardened steel. The mask itself is consistent with the Manta brand of sleep masks produced between the years of 2005 and 2012. However, the mask itself lacks the company’s manufacturer markings.

When worn, the wearer is transported to a corridor stretching beyond the subject's range of vision, with doors lining its walls. Various tests indicate that the amount of doorways and the physical length of the corridor change depending on the subject. GPS tracking of subjects has proven ineffective, implying that the corridor may exist in a separate reality.

Subjects report tranquility and increased curiosity inside the corridor, pushing them to navigate it. After three minutes, the subject will attempt to open one of the doors and proceed within. Subjects report to observe a third person perspective scene of an event from their past within, with a majority of these scenes prompting a positive response from subjects1.

Subjects have also observed vocalizations (hereby designated SCP-XXXX-1) post conclusion of the observed scene. In all cases, SCP-XXXX-1 will attempt conversation with the subject in regards to the scene. In all cases, SCP-XXXX-1 prompts an overall positive outlook from the subject, and is often described as a voice similar to that of a close friend or family member related to the subject.

When SCP-XXXX is removed, subjects return to their location prior to interaction with SCP-XXXX with no observable deterioration in physical or mental health regardless of time elapsed. It is of note that individuals suffering from PTSD2 or other stress related conditions observe the most significant change in overall demeanor post exposure to SCP-XXXX. Testing into the potential use as an antidepressant or therapeutic device is ongoing.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered by foundation field agents on 5/7/20██ following numerous reports of a new mental health treatment program developed by DreamScape Pharmaceuticals™, based in Tampa, Florida3. Foundation agents confirmed the anomalous nature of SCP-XXXX after field agents arranged appointments with the clinic in question, and a demonstration of the procedure was observed. Class-B amnestetics were supplied to all staff at the clinic and all documented individuals that underwent treatment via SCP-XXXX were subsequently questioned, amnesticized, and released. SCP-XXXX was later transported to its current containment at site-29.

Addendum XXXX-A: Given the potential breach of secrecy SCP-XXXX presents for individuals that undergo amnestic treatment, such subject experimentation is unanimously prohibited by the O5 Council. (see Experiment II for details).

Addendum XXXX-B: Following Experiment III, all experimentation with SCP-XXXX must be approved by the two researchers of Level 3 clearance or higher. All subjects are to undergo psychiatric evaluation prior to and following the use of SCP-XXXX to avoid any potential hazardous behavioral development within site staff (see Experiment III for details).

Item #: SCP-5964

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5964 shows no current threat but in the event of SCP-5964 falling out of earth's orbit, all people within 1300 kilometers of the speculated landing spot will be told to evacuate for the next 24 hours. If any fragments of SCP-5964 that remain will be collected and further researched The fragments of of element 110 will be stored away and are only to be accesed by agents with level 4 and above clearence and any animals that might have survived the collision will be also collected for studying.

Description: SCP-5964 is A massive structure that orbits earth at 500 kilometers above the earth's surface, is approximately 3 kilometers wide, that is made of 4 parts. The center part is a transparent dome that contains an island ecosystem that has a number of different species. Ranging from deer and seagulls to extinct creatures such as the thylacine and entelognathus. This variety of creatures intrigues many researchers about how the island's ecosystem remains stable. There are three massive metallic structures measuring 5 kilometers in height and 0.2 kilometers in width that encircle the dome. The composition of the structures or dome is unknown as well as their purpose. SCP-5964 is perpetually suspended in earth's orbit and makes a full rotation every 24 hours. Due to this SCP-5964 will always be above Khulna, Bangladesh. SCP-5964's age is unknown but records of it go back to the indus river valley civilization, the first photograph was taken by the British Raj in 1859. This location is monitored by foundation agents 24/7 in case of 5964 falling out of orbit. SCP-5964 came to the attention of the foundation in the first year of the foundations creation in ████.

A few weeks ago a mysterious island in the sky in Pakistan came to the attention of the foundation that same week agents were sent out to see it for themselves to see it's properties. On arriving they couldn't see the island even from miles away but upon getting closer and using their telescopes they could see it and noticed that it was a dome like shape with 3 mettalic spires surrounding it and that it never moved. It was then classified as SCP-5964. We are currently unable to research it further due to our inability to access it as of now

For the Love of Humanity

Special Containment Procedures: An anti-memetic perimeter is built in a 2km radius around SCP-XXXX-1. Maintenance on this perimeter is performed annually, at which time Foundation research expeditions may occur. Due to the harsh natural environment surrounding SCP-XXXX-1, the location requires no further containment measures. Standard protocols are in place to restrict public knowledge of SCP-XXXX's substantial influence on humanity's evolution.

scp

[PLACEHOLDER IMAGE] Photo of SCP-XXXX-3 expunged for potential cognitohazard. Safe rendition pending.

Further research on translations of the proto-writing within SCP-XXXX-1 requires express permission either from two of SCP-XXXX's lead researchers or written authorization from Head Researcher Dr. M. Bresson[REVISION PENDING]. A database tracking exposures to SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-3 must be maintained and up to date.

Images of SCP-XXXX-3 are not to be spread to avoid worsening the possible memetic effect. Dr. M. Bresson's objection, citing "redundancy", has been declined.

Description: SCP-XXXX denotes the anomalous events, entity, and effects hypothesized to have influenced the evolution of humanity's ancestor Homo erectus into Homo heidelbergensis between 700,000-800,000 years ago. The evidence for such anomalous activity is centered within the point of origin, SCP-XXXX-1, located approximately 250 kilometers south-west of the town of In Zghmir, Algeria.

SCP-XXXX-1 is an underground cavern containing evidence of an ancient primitive community, belonging to a previously unknown ancestor to Homo sapiens. This ancestor has a genetic makeup distinct enough to be given the binomial nomenclature of Homo animalis4. Evidence indicates Homo animalis had technological abilities not seen for hundreds of millennia. Examples including the usage of hearths for cooking meat, as well as sophisticated weaponry including balanced throwing spears, indicating hunting methods which requiring planning and foresight5. The research team for SCP-XXXX believes such advances were influenced by SCP-XXXX-2, a minor deity-like entity who lived among Homo animalis as the societal matriarch6. SCP-XXXX-2 was not worshiped, but accepted by Homo animalis as equals7.

This entity expired through inconclusive means, causing the community's disbandment. After SCP-XXXX-2's passing, the advanced abilities concentrated within the society dissipated, but the evolution of Homo heidelbergensis accelerated in the following millennia8. Through SCP-XXXX-2's influence on Homo animalis, the descendant Homo heidelbergensis species adopted the same advances, eventually utilizing fire for cooking, developing primitive social structures with multi-generational roles, and developing language9. All of the above were present in Homo animalis. Evidence suggests Homo erectus may have used fire to a lesser degree, but the other qualities are absent.

SCP-XXXX-3 denotes the hundreds of cave paintings found within the cavern, which may have a mementic effect on those who view them or attempt to discern their meaning. The research team for SCP-XXXX believes this mementic effect is similar to the effect SCP-XXXX-2 had on Homo animalis.

As of 2024, the research project on SCP-XXXX is considered complete. All research has been compiled by the research team, spearheaded by Dr. M. Bresson, into a three-volume work. Foundation members with an interest in the anthropological impact and ongoing memetic effect of SCP-XXXX may refer to "SCP-XXXX and the Origins of Modern Man" (2025, 3rd Ed)10. Notable methodology and processes of the research team, as well as supplementary documentation to outline the research project, have been attached below.

Discovery: Found on 11/17/1997 by Foundation personnel tracking [REDACTED]. During the expedition, the Hume meter detected borderline anomalous activity south of the location, with a 0.05% deviation from normality. Once reached, the land above SCP-XXXX gave no evidence of anomalies. Without provisions to dig through sand but with sufficient provisions to monitor the location, personnel stayed at the area for 7 days without witnessing any unusual activity. Authorization was received to return to the location with powerful excavation equipment. After digging through sand for approximately 30 meters, rock was hit. Personnel drilled through three meters of rock before breaking through the ceiling of a large cavern. Minor damage was sustained by SCP-XXXX-1.

algeria

Map of Algeria. SCP-XXXX-1 is located at coordinates 25.39, -2.56, circled in red.

The following notable findings were found within:

  • The cave paintings were discovered, classified as SCP-XXXX-3 twenty-five years later. Analysis indicates these were created between 700,000 and 800,000 years ago.
  • Bone residue of animals and some indication of fossilization, in line with the hunting habits later seen in Homo heidelbergensis.
  • A tunnel leading to an exit buried in sand.
  • The floor was solid rock, later concluded to be naturally occurring. At the time SCP-XXXX-1 hosted Homo animalis, the area of the Sahara surrounding it was akin to a savanna grassland11.
  • Anomalous plant residue, discovered after DNA testing on ashes gathered in patters on the floor and walls. Results did not link the residue to any plant matching the historical record, but would fit within the Polypodiopsida class12. Thermoluminescence dating techniques enhanced by SCP-████ were used on burned plant residue, dating it to around 730,000 years ago.

SCP-XXXX's research team believes these ashes to be the remnants of SCP-XXXX-2.

An excerpt from Lead Researcher Dr Bresson's personal log provides the best initial description of SCP-XXXX-1's interior.

Date: 04/17/1998

Location: 25.39, -2.56 -2.65? (Confirm with Kiros13 if that's right)

I wasn't prepared. I had a friend back some thirty-odd years ago back in my time at St Andrews, before I got my anthropology doctorate. She was working on an Egyptology masters. Maybe fifteen, twenty years later, she told me she got it, she got a research position to study the mummy of Nefertiti. When she saw the corpse, she told me she was surprised it was real. Not a dream, not imagined. A myth before her. She said the feeling was like "finding the last thing in your life." I would like to talk to her more about that.

The entrance, once unburied, is simple rock. Either natural or anomalous creation, not the work of man. I'm sure it would have resembled a natural cave, those millennia ago when it last saw the sun. The excavation team wounded it. There's a crack in the ceiling that was plugged after some hundred pounds of sand trickled through. I understand they did not know what they were dealing with, expecting to find another horror. They did not expect a delicate miracle. I'll forgive them another day.

A long tunnel with a ceiling too low to stand upright, made of the same natural materials, connects the entrance to the cavern. I believe the tunnel was carved, first of many signs of civilization. The walls here are blank. Once through it, you reach the main only room, rough estimate of 300 meters end to end. The whole structure is like an igloo, with the entrance snaking up to the surface before it was buried. Set on bedrock? Investigation recommended.

These cave paintings must be older than writing, older than man, older than any semblance of who we believe ourselves to be. Few depictions of daily routine? No signs of agriculture, although I do not know how any evidence of it could have survived. There are marks of fire; the ceiling is stained black, with markings drawn by wiping away ash, like it was a canvas. It is beautiful, brilliant. An ingenious way to create while conserving resources. Most of the walls are covered in paintings and symbols. Even up to the ceiling. How did they do that? Samples must be collected.

The paintings and carvings in stone. There are hundreds. Religious significance plausible. Mostly black and reddish brown. Likely ash and blood. It is remarkable, absolutely remarkable that it has stained the rock for this long a time. Likely anomalous, further research required.

One thing I must note. There are swirling black lines from the outer edges of the cavern, which spiral towards the center. A circle has been drawn there, less than a meter in diameter. A construct of planning and intent. It is blank. Religious significance probable. My guess is that the lines are, again, ash.

Am I being too sentimental? I hope not. I would like to describe this in the objective manner I've done with other locations. But stories have always made me sentimental. And standing in that cavern, looking at works by all these beings that would be classified as pre-human, I feel as though I have found a missing chapter in the story of us. If my sentimentality can't be excused now, then it can never be.

Further research must be done.

After significant research, some of the numerous symbols on the walls were found to be writing, confirmed to convey meaning. This would predate the earliest surviving instance of writing by approximately 700,000 years. While the writing is primitive, work done by Dr. Bresson and Dr. Rebecca Thane14 provided a rough translation, guided by consistent markings by specific cave paintings. Researchers focused in particular on a portion of wall surrounded by paintings, which was flattened using primitive tools. On this portion of wall were few symbols, theorized to give them prominence. An absolute translation cannot be achieved with the sparse surviving evidence, but the best translation reads as follows:

Ma. I kill.
Many. Forgive.
Ma.
Ma. Return.
Forgive.

SCP-XXXX's research team found the symbols denoting "forgiveness", "return", and "mother"15 repeated on numerous surfaces within SCP-XXXX-1.

Addendum.XXXX.1: In September of 2012, research for SCP-XXXX was put on hiatus as, by the research team's own admission, all collected evidence had been exhausted. In May of 2014, Dr. Oliman and Dr. M. Bresson submitted an application to resume research, based on Dr. M. Bresson's theory that the numerous cave paintings were evidence of language. Funding was approved by Site 15 Director Novales two months later.

Final Experiment SCP-XXXX: Through the use of Dr Thane's device, the research team compared the skulls of Homo animalis to Homo Heidelbergensis and Homo erectus. After exhaustive study and inspection, it was decided that a key difference between the anatomy of the Homo erectus and Homo animalis brain is that the Homo animalis skull had more room for the orbitofrontal cortex. Reconstructions of the Homo heidelbergensis skull indicated similar results.

orbito

Prefrontal cortex for Homo sapiens.

The orbitofrontal cortex is present in Homo neanderthalensis18 and Homo sapiens. Current understanding of this portion of the brain is rudimentary; on a basic level the cortex relates to decision making and expected reward. As the research team still had six months of funding, resources were then devoted to understanding this portion of the brain.

Initially, subjects were connected to an EEG machine and researchers asked a series of questions, with the goal of stimulating activity in the orbitofrontal cortex. After the question methodology failed to produce conclusive results, Dr Bresson suggested eliciting more emotional responses. Pursuing this route, Dr Helma and Dr Andante wrote various stories to better suit a particular emotional response from the subject. Basic psychological profiles were complied for each test subject by the team psychologist Dr Eliza Glazer. Subjects were asked to imagine themselves as the protagonist for each story, and were questioned how they would make it through the trials set before them, what they would risk, and what they would do to succeed. The constant theme of each story dealt with the difficulty in maintaining possession of a treasured object, concept, or person.

Towards the end of the testing phase, Dr Bresson volunteered to be tested.

The full paper, detailing all methodology, stimuli, and results, can be found in "SCP-XXXX and the Origins of Modern Man" vol. 3. While a paper of suitable length is created, Dr Bresson's conclusions after the final test subject were recorded. A transcript is available below.

Note:

The above information is grounded in evidence, research, and fact. The below passages contain abject speculation and may not be factual. It is the opinion of the remaining members of SCP-XXXX's research team that Dr. M. Bresson's theories, if not provably accurate, represent the best conclusion of the research project. However, corroborating evidence for some claims does not exist.

Interviewed: Dr Monet Bresson

Interviewer: Dr. Rebecca Thane, Dr. Art Helma, Dr. Andante Oliman, Dr. Eliza Glazer

Foreword: Dr Bresson has been hooked up to an EEG, while Dr. Oliman and Dr Thane monitor the device to ensure continuous accurate output. Dr. Glazer and Dr. Helma monitored the readings themselves from the adjacent observation room, taking notes on Dr Bresson's reactions and the EEG's readings. Line of communication between tester and subject remains open.

Dr. Glazer: How you doing, doc?

Dr. Bresson: Oh. Oh! Fine. Um, fine.

Dr. Thane: I think… yes, I'm sure everything's in, it held through this time. Liz, Art, can you confirm everything was received? Moe, I think you can take a look.

Dr. Bresson: Ah, okay. Yes. Dr. Oliman, could you…

Dr. Oliman: Sure, yeah! Hang on.

Dr. Oliman begins disconnecting Dr. Bresson from the EEG machine.

Dr. Helma: Looks clear on our end.

Dr. Bresson: Did it…?

Dr. Glazer: Yep, like you said, doc. The cortex lit up when you believed, really believed, that this would work.

Dr. Helma: It was bright, too. Really bright.

Dr. Bresson: Oh! Ah, good. That's…

Silence.

Dr. Oliman: Almost done, prep the info.

Dr. Helma: That's pretty much it, I mean… the orbitofrontal cortex lit up when it was supposed to. At that moment you thought it would, Mo. Come on, what's your guess?

Dr. Bresson: I, um… I think I have an idea.

Twenty seconds of silence.

Dr. Helma: We'll listen whenever you're ready, Mo.

Dr. Bresson: Oh! Oh, very well. So I think… let me think.

Five seconds of silence.

Dr. Bresson: Manayu… was hurt. But, beyond that, I think, I think her response… well. She thought of the Loved as her children, I think. I guess. And they thought, um, of her as one of them, their own, too.

Ten seconds of silence.

Dr. Oliman: Sorry, what about the cortext?

Dr. Thane: Again, it's cortex. There is no "t".

Dr. Bresson: Ah, um. Heh. Well… I think it, developed, when Manayu did what uh… killed her. I think… she was angry? No that's… not right, she was, uh, heartbroken, yes. And, and that can make someone… harm the ones they love, but I don't think it would be outright cruel.

Twenty seconds of silence.

Dr. Bresson: I think she, uh, gave the Loved something. I think…

Silence.

Dr. Bresson: I think it was hope.

Absolute silence.

Dr. Bresson: And that, uh, makes a lot of sense to me. It's, in a way, cruel, but, it can't be seen as only a punishment. She tried to teach them, protect them, live as best as they could for themselves. And… then she couldn't?

Dr. Oliman: Sorry, then before, the Loved were just hopeless all the time?

Dr. Bresson: Well… maybe, but-but I doubt it. Uh… animals don't… need hope, right? A deer doesn't flee from a wolf because it… hopes for escape, it flees because, that's instinct. Stimulus-response. S-so before we got hope, we… had no cause for it. I think this enabled us to move past instinct, into… greater realms of thought.

Inaudible muttering.

Dr. Bresson: Well… well… is that not the most amazing thing you have ever heard? A small act by a minor SCP, and it has had reverberations, pushing us forward throughout all of time and history! To this very discovery! We… suffer through it all, don't we? For the hope of a better life, somewhere? How else could we… fight in the darkness so others…

Silence.

Dr. Bresson: Oh, um… at least, that's my guess.

Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation has requisitioned emergency funds from the UN to aid in research towards ways of neutralising SCP-6000. All civilians are to be immediately evacuated from tsunami zones and areas likely to erode into the ocean. Global aid efforts are to be directed towards the relocation of civilians to refugee camps situated in high-altitude areas. Cargo ships are to be repurposed for the transport of food, construction and medical supplies for humanitarian efforts.

Reality benders capable of initiating a calamity on the scale of SCP-6000 have been consulted regarding potential means of stopping or suppressing the effects of SCP-6000. No method of prevention has been discovered.

A disinformation campaign has been initiated, describing SCP-6000 as a result of human-incited global warming melting aquatic methane hydrate deposits. Investigations into the cause of SCP-6000 not led by the Foundation are to be suppressed or undermined by any means, so as not to interfere with the Foundation.

As of 3PF19, the Foundation’s existence has been revealed to the world to a limited degree, portrayed as a small organisation operating under the UN specialising in crisis containment. This was done to enable superior control over the world’s resources to better direct humanitarian efforts and contain SCP-6000.

SCP-6000 has proven invulnerable to thaumaturgic and anomalous means of prevention. The scale of SCP-6000 is too large to be properly contained. The following table details attempted methods of neutralisation or avoidance of SCP-6000.

Proposal Method Result
Heavy-Scale Scranton Reality Anchors Massive SRCs would be deposited at strategic points along the bottom of the ocean, to stabilise the regions. Ineffective.
Bailing Water Into Pocket Realities Portals to several pocket realities would be opened on the ocean floor to drain water. Continually disposing of and replacing the pocket realities would allow significant amounts of water to be removed. Water levels dropped marginally before the pocket realities collapsed under the pressure and released the water back into the ocean. Filling a pocket reality to such a degree had never been attempted before.
Escape Numerous possibilities for evacuation from Earth were proposed, including floating cities, orbital habitation posts, and off-world colonies. All proposals were denied. The majority were infeasible, ethically unsound, or couldn’t be undertaken without the abandonment of SCP-6000 prevention operations.
Underground Bunkers Self-sufficient expandable underground bunkers would be constructed. Due to the eventual submersion of most of Earth's landmass, bunkers have no long-term viability. The project was aborted in the early stages.
Prayer In light of the similarities between SCP-6000 and various flood-based myths, the entire world population was encouraged to pray to their respective Gods. Sacrificial rituals were to also be performed. Ineffective.

Description: SCP-6000 refers to the phenomenon of water frequently erupting from below the sediment of the ocean floor around the world. SCP-6000 occurs at random intervals, with an average of one SCP-6000 instance daily. The influx of water results in a continual, rapid rise in ocean levels. The increase in water covering the Earth meant that the majority of low lying areas and coastal cities were submerged shortly after SCP-6000 began occurring. The quantity of water released varies, but generally causes a global rise in ocean level of several centimetres daily.

Rainfall has increased as a result of SCP-6000, causing flooding further inland. Many arid areas experienced an increase in crop output, while other areas had submerged farmland. The rain also caused more hillside erosion; population centres in hilly areas have experienced severe damage.

During SCP-6000, pressurised water will explode from the ocean floor, releasing millions of tons of water into the ocean. Regions of SCP-6000 activity have been excavated and investigated. The surrounding areas are highly damaged from the eruption, so investigation of SCP-6000 blasts must wait for days after the event while the debris settles. No cause has yet been found. The eruptions of SCP-6000 cause extreme damage to the ocean floor. The resulting underwater landslides can cause both damage to coastlines, and form tsunamis. SCP-6000s occurring in the deep ocean will also destroy methane hydrate deposits, which will then release methane into the atmosphere, increasing the rate of glacial melting, and causing further flooding.

A disaster on the scale of SCP-6000 must be immediately halted. The continual, irreparable damage SCP-6000 does to Earth makes its neutralisation an absolute priority. Failure to stop the rising sea levels in time will permanently hinder or prevent the Foundation from fulfilling its primary mission of preserving normalcy. There is no indication that SCP-6000 will stop, and a continuation of the current trend will ensure complete submersion of the planet in less than 200 years.

If SCP-6000 was created by a sapient entity, no motive is obvious. Attempts to communicate with higher beings and deities to find information have yielded no results.

SCP-6000 was discovered after a series of significant rises in oceanic height did not correspond to any recorded glacial melt. Foundation operatives were dispatched to investigate the statistical anomaly. Upon SCP-6000’s discovery, fictitious scientific records were created to justify the sea-level rise.

SCP-6000 occurrences have increased exponentially, causing more flooding across the planet. The Foundation evoked emergency powers, gaining control of the UN and the GOC. The Foundation then initiated a programme to unify all global powers to work together to stop SCP-6000. Any nations, companies, and GoIs refusing to comply with the Foundation were infiltrated, incentivised, or destroyed. The bulk of Foundation resources were dedicated to civilian support and damage control. Very little is known about the anomalous principles governing SCP-6000, and very little could be done to contain or neutralise the effects of SCP-6000.

Addenda

The following is a timeline detailing Foundation Operations after the first SCP-6000 event.

1PF: Water had begun to leak into the Ways. The Serpent’s Hand had retreated into the Wanderer’s Library and sealed the Ways permenantly. Any possibility of escape from SCP-6000 through the Ways has been destroyed.

4PF: The Foundation had exhausted all potential means of counteracting SCP-6000. No new information had emerged after years of studying SCP-6000. It was concluded that the only realistically achievable goal was to wait until the circumstances of SCP-6000 altered.

12PF: SCP-6000-1 manifested. SCP-6000-1 is an SCP-6000 instance that manifested in the Dead Sea. This was the first recorded case of SCP-6000 taking place outside of the ocean. The eruption destroyed nearby communities, and the water released in the blast was enough to overflow the lake. The Foundation immediately moved to secure the area for testing. Due to the shallowness of SCP-6000-1, it could be conveniently analysed. SCP-6000-1 is currently undergoing testing. See the SCP-6000-1 Test Results document for information.

23PF: The Foundation had experienced massive personnel and infrastructure loss as a result of the floods. Almost all of its resources had been expended, and supporting a widespread workforce was no longer a viable option. It was concluded that the most realistically feasible method of achieving the Foundation’s goals is to shut down indefinitely. The remainder of Foundation resources were used to construct new facilities on higher ground, with the capacity to autonomously hold anomalies in perpetuity. Upon the completion of construction in 30PF, all disposable anomalies were neutralised and all others were put under Automated Containment Protocols. The Foundation then officially disbanded.
