Item #: SCP-X000

Object Class: Keter/Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: All media reports related to the anomaly described below are to be examined for potential verifiability. All organizations and individuals investigating its existence are to be kept under surveillance by Mobile Task Force Zeta-X000 and discredited or administered amnestics. All physical signs of this secret area's existence must be retrieved and kept in Foundation custody, and replaced with decoy items if necessary. Alleged sightings of this weird forest and its inhabitants must always be investigated by MTF Zeta-X000, however trivial the claim.

Absolutely no contact with wild or captive instances of the forest's people is allowed without prior approval by Dr Jones. Any interaction between those creatures and humans, including Foundation personnel, must be reported to Dr Jones immediately.

All people entering the forest behind the door must have a GPS to track back to the entrance. They also must stay away from the serpentine entity that resides here. In case this being needs to be encountered, personnel must wear suits designed especially to counter its effects.

Description: SCP-X000 is a high tech forest area containing many creatures of myths. Its purpose seems to be reconstructing civilization in the event that a K-Class end-of-the-world scenario could not be averted in time to prevent humanity's extinction or near-extinction. Various anomalous phenomena may occur when consistent nomenclature is applied to the forest of amazing technology, its native entities, or its landmarks. When they are referred to by name, it must be overlooked by X000-Esshu. These phenomena are still poorly understood, partially due to the prohibition of nomenclative experimentation under Order O5-X000-F26. The forest with green descriptions seems to be infinite.

Of these anomalous entities inhabiting this forest, one has been designated SCP-X000-1, a massive serpentine entity strongly resembling a giant moray eel (Gymnothorax javanicus). The full length of this sub-scip is impossible to determine, but is hypothesized to be between 600 and 900 kilometers. Its head measures roughly 2.5m in diameter, and sections of the body proper are as large as 10m in diameter. It is believed to be the source of the nomenclative phenomena.

The beast described in yellow was not originally part of this area but it came to be as a failed experiment in 1999. One researcher, Dr Jones, started this experiment with an entity from this anomaly.(See Audio Log X000-1)

Time: 09/06/1999
Scene: The digital forest

<Begin Log>

[Dr Jones was walking when he saw a bigfoot-like creature]

"Good morning, strange traveller."

Dr. Jones: Good morning.

"You must be one of those researchers working on that project. Kindly excuse the smoke; just airing my thoughts. How is your name?"

Dr. Jones: How is…? What do you mean?

"Are you simple? I'm merely asking how your name is. My name has smelt of raspberries lately, I think—or snapdragons, perhaps. It's so hard to tell these days, but one makes an effort."

Dr. Jones: Oh, right. I'm afraid my name has tasted rather tart as of late.

[The entity with a raspberry smelling name laughs and doffs its hat.]

"No, I'm the one who should apologize. I shouldn't have pried."

Dr. Jones: It's quite all right. I don't mind at all. Maybe you can help on the project

"I would love to."

<End Log>

When Project-X000 was completed, Dr Jones's partner accidentally interfered with it, creating the serpentine creature with descriptions of yellow.

The end result of Project-X000 is carnivorous, and despite its sedentary nature is capable of moving quickly to dispatch prey. Despite its size, it is hypothesized that the unnamable entity does not require sustenance to maintain its biological functions. While it excretes a thin layer of a viscous, dark grey substance classified as X000-1-1 through its skin as it consumes prey, the end result of its digestive processes is currently unknown. X000-1-1 has amnestic properties.

This weird area with the name serpent is accessed by performing X000-Halloway (see Document X000-1). After completing the procedure, subjects emerge from the door of a a dilapidated shack.

Document X000-1

X000-Halloway: The following is a censored list of instructions for accessing the infinite world. Certain steps have been omitted in this version of this document. Phrases and counter-phrases at the end of the procedure will differ depending on the subject’s type category: the oldest child in their family (Type-1), the middle born (Type-2), or the youngest/only child (Type-3).

1. Find a door made of elk wood.
2. Combine the powdered bones of a male red fox (Vulpes vulpes, any age), an adult male lion (Panthera leo), and a baleen whale (Mysticeti, any age, any gender). Draw a circle around the door using the resulting powder
3. Take a personal possession of strong sentimental value and throw it into a lake. Take some water from that lake and splash it on the door
4. Carefully release three feathers from any black-plumed bird of the genus Corvus over the fire and slide them under the door.
5. If the door begins to emit vocalizations, respond with the appropriate counter phrase (see Phrases and Counter Phrases below).
6. If the correct statements are given, the door will open for ten minutes. Anyone can enter.
7. If incorrect statements are made for any reason, immediately apologize and do not attempt Procedure X000-Halloway again at any point in the future.

NOTE: Individuals who are present during Procedure X000-Halloway, but were not the one conducting Procedure X000-Halloway, must not respond to vocalizations or approach the active fireplace under any circumstances.

Incident X000: The following information was collected from a counter suit with a dead body genetically identical to Dr Jones inside. On 02/16/2020, immense amounts of X000-1-1 secreted from that snake eel thing flooded 28 Foundation Sites. The Foundation goal changed from containing anomalous objects to exterminating humanity. Below is a warning from that event.

The following is a message composed via consensus of the O5 Council.

For those who are not currently aware of our existence, we represent the organization known as the SCP Foundation. Our previous mission centered around the containment and study of anomalous objects, entities and other assorted phenomena. This mission was the focus of our organization for more than one-hundred years.

Due to circumstances outside of our control, this directive has now changed. Our new mission will be the extermination of the human race.

There will be no further communication.

Below is a timeline of the event

02/16/2020	The message gets released. SCP-5999 gets uncontained.
02/17/2020	SCP-5001 ceases operation. 90% population remainin. 19% Foundation affected.
02/18/2020	The cause of this chaos forces SCP-4999 to encourage suicide. The point of this in unknown. 83% population remaining. 38% Foundation affected.
02/19/2020	Affected personnel send out as many Mobile Task Forces as they can to rewrite books in SCP-4001 to die at the time of affected. This somehow changes reality. At this point, remaining unaffected personnel find out the pattern. Conainment procedures for all SCP-001s are reinforced and the goal is to prevent anyone from releasing these. 70% population remaining. 42% Foundation affected.
02/20/2020	SCP-3999 gets un-neutralized. Things get out of hand real fast. 50% population remaining. 50% Foundation affected.
02/21/2020	SCP-3001 opens publicly and unpredictably. Multiple copies of SCP-682 is put inside of it. Dr Jones sets out on a mission to have SCP-055 and SCP-579 make contact. 40% population remaining. 75% Foundation affected.
02/22/2020	SCP-2999 is trained to spread memetic hazards over the internet. Dr Jones 1200km away from Site-62C. 20% population remaining. 87% Foundation affected.
02/23/2020	SCP-2001-Alpha rates gets increased by the affected Foundation. The destructive snake makes people affected by SCP-2001 to believe everyone they meet, including themselves, is related to space travel. Dr Jones 600km away from Site-62C. 10% population remaining. 93% Foundation affected.
02/24/2020	SCP-1999 somehow turns into a memetic kill agent. It's appearance is more frequent even writing itself on other people's clothes. Dr Jones 100km away from Site-62C. 1% population remaining. 99% Foundation affected.
02/25/2020	3 million instances of SCP-1001 are planted around the world. Dr Jones 10km away from Site-62C. 0.001% unaffected population remaining. 99.9% Foundation affected.
02/26/2020	SCP-999 is trained to kill. Dr Jones 1km away from Site-62C. 0.000001% unaffected population remaining. 99.999% Foundation affected.
02/27/2020	Dr Jones succeeds, and ends up terminating himself.
