Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All paper copies of SCP-XXXX are to be disposed of through incineration along with all digital copies thoroughly erased from records after necessary testing.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an info-hazardous set of categorical and numerical data made up of more than 4000 characters written in Modern English. Currently, the only record of SCP-XXXX is engraved on a 2 kilogram piece of meteorite recovered by Foundation personnel in 19██. The meteorite itself has proven non-anomalous as copies of the contents of SCP-XXXX to paper or digital records will also allow for its anomalous effects to manifest.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest whenever a sapient being is exposed to the contents of the SCP, through either visual or auditory means. Exposed individuals are hereafter given the designation SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 instances will act unaffected at first, but between a period of 30 minutes to an hour begin to show signs of distress. The instance's mental state will continue to deteriorate over time, with instances attempting self-harm approximately 3 hours after exposure. SCP-XXXX-1 will usually attempt to claw into their face and head, with many instances losing consciousness due to blood loss while doing so.
Approximately 6 hours after exposure, SCP-XXXX-1's body collapses in on itself until it occupies a single point in space. At this stage SCP-XXXX-1 has no detectable mass and will appear as a black spot hovering in the air. Observers will report hearing the minute sound of sobbing or wailing originating from SCP-XXXX-1. The instance will remain in this state until approximately 12 hours after exposure, when all physical traces of it instantaneously vanish. As of 3/20/██ no previous instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have been recovered or reported in any capacity.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
Description: SCP-XXXX will appear as a humpback anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii) with a pair of appendages similar to legs with four digits on each "foot". Each of these legs will seem to appear to be of the same flesh as the rest of the object's body. The extended illicium from the object's forehead will end in a structure made of bone and flesh, resembling a gyroscope. The object is believed to stand at approximately 1 m and can travel at speeds ranging from 5 km/hr to 8 km/hr.
SCP-XXXX will only known to exist in a future context. The object will have never been recorded to exist in the past and will not exist in any location or state in the present.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
Description: SCP-XXXX is an entity resembling a silhouette of a humanoid figure with a deep red coloring, consisting only of a pair of legs and a torso without any limbs. SCP-XXXX stands at 1.8 meters in height and travels at a base speed of 5 kilometers per hour while unobserved.
SCP-XXXX always travels in a single direction, never deviating in its course no matter what physical obstacles may be placed in front of it. Whenever SCP-XXXX comes into contact with a physical object, be it blocking the entity's path or not, the object will be pushed apart and split across SCP-XXXX's form. This most commonly results in barriers of all kinds being left with holes and indentations in the shape of SCP-XXXX.
Whenever SCP-XXXX is observed by a sapient being, its speed will increase at an exponential rate consistent with the number of beings viewing it. Alterations in speed are made within .003 seconds upon any observation of the object in real time, including live video feed, motion detection software, and through audio devices. Once one or more beings has stopped observing the object its speed will decrease at the same rate as the increase until unobserved and returned to its base speed.
Incident XXXX-1: On July 7, 2011, SCP-XXXX entered through a wall and onto the field of Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts. During this time a baseball game was underway with 34,508 individuals in attendance. Within moments, over ███ of the individuals observed SCP-XXXX, resulting in the object reaching estimated speeds of ████████ km/h.
The resulting shockwave from SCP-XXXX's displacement of air through its movement resulted in 3,447 casualties and 281 deaths. Damage caused to the surrounding city and neighborhoods had left the entire city without power and running water for 3 months. Airborne amnestics were released to the population and a cover-story was forged attributing the destruction to a buildup in natural gases underneath the stadium, resulting in a catastrophic explosion.
SCP-XXXX was discovered 4 days later approximately 83 km outside of Timberville, Virginia.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
Description: SCP-XXXX is an extra-dimensional and extra-temporal space accessible only through a manhole cover located at the Eastern-most point on Interior Avenue in Precipice, Iowa. This entrance is directly above the sewer exit that feeds into the Manifold River. Foundation agents were first prompted to investigate the anomaly after local reports of disappearances of sanitation workers in the area. The body of such disappearance was discovered beneath the entrance into SCP-XXXX in a dehydrated and mutilated state. During the investigation into the cause of the death by local authorities, two police officers entered into SCP-XXXX and disappeared before reappearing at the sewer exit in similar states to the discovered body of the sanitation worker. The ensuing confusion and discovery led to the Foundation taking control of the scene.
In order to enter SCP-XXXX, an individual must descend into the manhole and climb down a simple metallic ladder until out of the view of any observers. The sewer entrance has abnormal darkness, obscuring any light after passing only a few meters down.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 20 x 32 square inch watercolor painting with an engraving on the bottommost edge of the frame stating "In Search of the True Life". The contents of the painting are bisected vertically, with the left section depicting a rainy monochrome cityscape and the right section depicting a hilly landscape painted with bright colors and various animals with exaggerated coloration.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest
Recovery: SCP-XXXX was recovered from the Small Comfort café located in Tupelo, Mississippi on 2/3/2010. Agents were alerted to a possible anomaly after several locals reported strange incidences surrounding the location. These included unnatural and exaggerated colors seen on the inside of the building, flocks of birds gathering in view of the windows outside of their natural migration periods, and an unchanging atmosphere surrounding the café, with temperatures a consistent 74 °F both outside and inside the building.
After securing the scene and evaluating the area, it was determined that the source of the anomalous changes stemmed from the sole owner and proprietor of the café, Anthony Glee. Mr. Glee was rather personable and upfront with foundation agents, and seemed to have a subtle vibrancy to his coloration. Upon interview it was discovered that the many of the differences found in the café manifested after Mr. Glee was donated the painting now known as SCP-XXXX by a regular of the establishment.
Following review, Mr. Glee was taken into custody as an SCP-XXXX-B instance and the anomalous painting in question was retrieved and given the designation SCP-XXXX. Attempts to track down the one who donated the item to the café have so far been fruitless.
