Silkweave - Perfectly Normal Bus

Item #: SCP-SW01

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: As of 5/██/2018, testing on SCP-SW01 is currently halted due to its potential danger level presented to its site staff and project workers. SCP-SW01 is contained at Site 47, in a above ground specially built hangar lined with Telekill alloy, kept at a minimum distance of at least 500 meters from any living quarters. SCP-SW01 is to be parked, and bolted to the ground via a black Telekill alloy lined tarp, and standard vehicle bindings. The hangar is locked and should remain as such without site director permission, with exception of security checks. 2 armed personnel are to guard the hanger at all time, and are to be rotated out and given psyche tests on said rotations. Staff are to report any abnormalities to Dr. Poe in weekly scheduled security checks within the hangar.

Special Containment Procedures (OUTDATED): SCP-SW01 is to be kept in the vehicle hangar at site 47 in the south eastern most corner. Any non-D-class personnel employed by Site 47 are to be briefed on SCP-SW01's function and location, as to try and prevent any confusion or worker injury. SCP-SW01 is to be guarded by 1 armed personnel, and its key is to be held by the project leader, Dr. Geoff Dr. Queen

Description: SCP-SW01 is a Greyhound model G4500 bus with undetermined telepathic or memetic properties. Inside of the bus, the seat in the 6th row on the right side, hereby referred to as SCP-SW01-1, has nearly confirmed anomalous properties, with it inducing an unrelated death on its victims within one week, with 41% 43% 38% consistency. In what can only be called a spell of "bad luck," its victims tend to have very unfortunate unfortunate deaths or injuries occur to them within that one week period, and after which, subjects seem to be completely immune to the effects of SCP-SW01. What isn't confirmed, is if SCP-SW01 has anomalous effects outside of SCP-SW01-1, but strangely "bad luck" is theorized to radiate from the presence of SCP-SW01, affecting all Humans within a large radius with a less intense effect then that inflicted by SCP-SW01-1.

Acquisition: SCP-SW01 was the subject of a 9 year hunt by the Foundation in the rural town of ██████, Virginia. In 2006, the Foundation became aware of the towns strangely high accidental death count, which was well above the national average for accidental deaths. As we now know, SCP-TM01 is creeping threat that covers its tracks very well with its one week timer, and inconsistent kill method, which caused the hunt for it to take as long as it did, much to the aggravation of the O5 council and the researchers leading the hunt. Even with the help of SCP-███, who was called in to help find the threat, [REDACTED]. It was only after a chance encounter, when Operative █████ died in strange fashion on site, were we able to retrace their steps and theorize that the bus was the cause. The bus was then purchased by the Foundation, and the death rate [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-SW01's former driver, ██████ ████ was also brought in for an interview after confirming the anomalous effects of the object.

Interview Log SCP-SW01-01

PoI-SW01: "Alright, what the hell do you want."

Dr. Geoff: "How long were you SCP-SW01's driver?"
PoI-SW01: "SC-what? You mean the old greyhound? This is what you dragged me out here for?" (Subject is visibly angry)

Dr. Geoff: "The very same one. Our organization has found that the bus has some very… Strange properties, and we wanted to ask you some questions about it."

PoI-SW01: "Strange? What do you mean strange?" (Subject laughs) "You mean like super natural?"

Dr. Geoff: "We're the ones asking the questions here Mr. ████, please cooperate, and we'll be finished before you know it.
PoI-SW01: "…"

Dr. Geoff: "I'll ask again, how long were you SCP-SW01's driver?"
PoI-SW01: "I dunno, like, 7 or 8 years?"

Dr. Geoff: "During that time, did you notice anything odd with the bus, or any of the civs you drove around?"
PoI-SW01: "Not really. I don't know what kind of ghostbusters-ass people you think you are, but it was a perfectly normal bus."

Dr. Geoff: "We have mountains of evidence that refutes that, Mr. ████. Now, do you consider yourself to be a, uh, lucky or unlucky person?"
PoI-SW01: "Lucky some days, unlucky some days, like today, being told to come in to talk to a crock like you."

Dr. Geoff: "Have you ever experienced the death of any of your patrons in you're time with SCP-SW01?"
PoI-SW01: "No? What kinda title is that? Its just a damn bus. You sure you people have you're heads screwed on right?"

Dr. Geoff: "This interview is over, get this joker his amnestics."

To O5 Council, from Dr. Geoff, "██████ Anomaly"
"We did it. We found the goddamn ██████ Anomaly. Its a bus, one of the chairs in the seventh row puts a bad luck curse on its victim or something similar. We bought it a few weeks back, and started testing as soon is it got in house, and yeah, this is what must have been causing it. We have the tag for it, SCP-SW01, I'll start working on the page with haste. Can I get some more D class to test with this thing?"

To Dr. Geoff, from O5 Council, "Re: ██████ Anomaly"
"May I remind you of your place, Dr. Geoff? Or do we have to issue you yet another infraction? Nonetheless, we're glad to see this wild goose chase is over. Permission granted, to use the "D-Class" for tests. Smarten up."

Addendum 1: Request of more Human assets for testing, 12/██/2017

To O5 Council, from Dr. Geoff, "More D Class for studies"
"I need more D Class to test with, 10 every two months is too small an amount to properly ascertain SCP-SW01's function."

To Dr. Geoff, from O5 Council, "Re: More D Class for studies"
"Denied. SCP-SW01 has already eaten through over ███ lives with near nothing to show for it. Its a theoretical meat grinder, drop if Dr. Geoff, you're lucky we're sparing you this many to begin with. And for the last time, speak to your superiors with respect, or there won't be a next time."

To Dr. Geoff, from O5 Council, "Re:Re:Re: More D Class for studies"
"No, Dr. Geoff, we aren't keeping these responses up on the SCP-SW01 page to embarrass you, you do a good enough job of that already. Its here for people, maybe future project leads, wondering about the projects human assets. Discussion closed.

Addendum 2: Results of the last year of studies, 1/██/2018. (Left up for posterity)

In the last 12 months, there were 130 D Class tested in the SCP-SW01 studies, and out of those, 45% of them (49) died within a week of testing, showing a notable mark up from the 38% ration from last year. This is in addition to █ staff deaths, and [DATA EXPUNGED] This is great! Finally, a show
of results! I'll solve this damn bus if its the last thing I ever do here.

Addendum 3: New Project Lead appointed by O5 Council and Site 47 director.

With Dr. Geoff being demoted after going behind our back to test over 50 D-Class in SCP-SW01 last week, he'll be glad to join their ranks. Welcome your new head researcher on the project, the esteemed Dr. Everett Queen. -O5 Council

Addendum 5: Requesting [REDACTED]

+ Level 3 Security Clearance required.

To O5 Council, From Dr. Queen "Regarding SCP-SW01"
"SCP-SW01 has an insidious effect, its uncertainty. Ever since being brought into site 47, fatality rate here has increased to 37%, including deaths completely unrelated to the project. We can't confirm that it has a larger radius of effect then originally thought, but that's the part that's unsettling to me, I can't confirm it, we can't confirm ANYTHING that SCP-TM01 does or doesn't do, its driving me insane. Requesting SCP-TM01 to be classified as Euclid, and new containment procedure, a Telekill lined hangar, and halting all other testing until we can confirm the safety of site 47."

To Dr. Queen, From O5 Council "Re:Regarding SCP-SW01"
"Granted. We'll get some of our workers to 47 within a few days. Stay safe Dr. Queen."

To O5 Council, From Dr. Queen "Re:Re:Regarding SCP-SW01"
"In my 60 long years with the Foundation, there has been no project that's stumped me quite like SCP-SW01. I think its honestly not even anomalous, as my time with the project has gone on, the less and less sure I become about it. I think the former project lead, Dr. Geoff, was full of shit, and just made up any of the objects properties and forged the test results just for posterity, they don't add up. You know what? I'm so sure of it, I will be SCP-SW01's last test subject before we mark this as Explained. There's other places that could use me more then a "bad luck bus." Hold the worker order and reclassification until I disprove this myth."

Addendum 6: Update on SCP-SW01's Classification and Special Containment Procedures

After the unfortunate passing of Dr. Queen, testing on SCP-SW01 has been halted, and its class has been updated to Euclid, and given new containment procedures. We implore any researchers looking into SCP-SW01 as a future project to consider the danger, Dr. Queen was one of our very best and decorated researchers, and the job claimed him like any other. If you understand the threat, and still wish to work on SCP-SW01, submit a request to us, and we'll wish you the best of luck. -O5 Council
