Item #: SCP-4622 "The Literal Notebook"
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-4622 is to be kept in a 50 x 50 x 50 CM glass cage. It should not be taken out of the glass cage without proper administration.
Description:
SCP-4622 is a black, leather-bound notebook and a silver fountain pen of unknown origin. Neither object bears any visible manufacturer markings or signs of wear, despite carbon-dating indicating both are at least ███ years old. When SCP-4622-B (the pen) is used to write within SCP-4622-A (the notebook), any written statement will manifest as reality within roughly 10 seconds to 10 hours after writing is completed.
However, the resulting events are often unpredictable, distorted, or ironic versions of the original text. The extent of deviation appears to increase with the complexity, scale, or selfishness of the statement. Simple requests, such as producing an object or changing a minor detail, often succeed with slight alterations, while complex or abstract commands can result in extreme or hazardous outcomes.
The anomalous effect occurs only when SCP-4622-B is used to write in SCP-4622-A. Attempts to use other pens, pencils, or writing tools produce no anomalous activity. Ink samples from SCP-4622-B resist chemical analysis and have no known composition.
It is currently unknown whether SCP-4622 alters existing reality, creates new timelines, or replaces baseline reality with a version in which the written statement is true. Research is ongoing.
Addendum 4622-1: Experiment Log A
Test Objective: Determine SCP-4622’s response to a simple request.
Procedure: D-5129 was instructed to write “A glass of water appears on the table” inside SCP-4622.
Result:
Approximately 2 hours and 14 minutes after writing was completed, a standard glass tumbler manifested on the test chamber table. Analysis revealed the liquid to be saltwater, with a salinity similar to that of seawater collected from the North Atlantic. No immediate anomalous properties were detected beyond composition.
Notes:
“Even the most harmless requests seem to come with a twist. We’re starting to think the notebook interprets intent in the most literal way possible — and not always in a helpful manner.”
— Dr. █████
Addendum 4622-2: Experiment Log B
Test Objective: Evaluate SCP-4622’s effects on environmental objects.
Procedure: D-9813 wrote the phrase “All doors in this room unlock.”
Result:
After a delay of 5 hours and 36 minutes, every door in the containment chamber spontaneously disintegrated into a fine metallic dust. This included not only mechanical locks but door frames and hinges. Access to the chamber was compromised until a secondary blast door was installed.
Notes:
“This suggests the notebook doesn’t always satisfy the condition — it might instead remove anything that prevents the condition from being true. We asked for ‘unlocked’ doors; it decided that meant ‘no doors at all.’”
— Dr. █████
Addendum 4622-3: Experiment Log C
Test Objective: Test SCP-4622’s behavior with complex, self-referential requests.
Procedure: D-10177 wrote “Create an identical clone of me.”
Result:
No immediate activity was observed. 7 hours and 2 minutes later, Foundation surveillance detected a biologically identical duplicate of D-10177 manifesting in ███████, Russia — approximately 3,200 km away from the test site. The clone was later apprehended by Mobile Task Force Tau-14 (“Mind’s Mirror”). Psychological evaluation revealed significant deviations in behavior, including pronounced hostility toward the original subject and repeated statements such as “I am the real one.”
Notes:
“The entity’s aggression and geographical displacement might indicate the notebook’s inability — or refusal — to create perfect equivalence. It’s possible SCP-4622 can only approximate intent, not fulfill it precisely.”
— Dr. █████
Addendum 4622-4: Experiment Log D
Test Objective: Observe SCP-4622’s response to a highly complex and large-scale request.
Procedure: Under strict supervision, D-2045 was instructed to write the following phrase:
“Reverse the effects of all human-caused pollution on Earth.”
Result:
Contrary to expectations, the effect manifested after only 3 minutes and 27 seconds. However, instead of reversing pollution, a catastrophic global weather anomaly was recorded. Within the next 24 hours:
Sea levels worldwide rose by an average of 1.4 meters due to accelerated melting of polar ice.
Several major industrial areas reported the sudden disappearance of man-made structures, leaving massive craters in their place.
All petroleum-based products within a 10 km radius of Site-██ were converted into an inert, tar-like substance, rendering numerous vehicles and containment systems nonfunctional.
Subsequent research indicates SCP-4622 may have attempted to “reverse” pollution by removing all products and structures associated with it, rather than repairing environmental damage. The resulting loss of global infrastructure led to ██ million fatalities and ██ containment breaches.
Testing of SCP-4622 has been suspended indefinitely pending O5 review.
Notes:
“We assumed a request this massive would either fail or take days. It responded faster than a minor request, and nearly ended civilization in the process. This thing isn’t just rewriting reality — it’s doing it on its own terms.”
— Dr. █████
