StickOfButters 001 Thing...
Item #: SCP-001
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-001 cannot currently be contained, since it has been replicating itself for tens of thousands of years; hence, making the actual SCP almost impossible to find. However; it can suppressed on a individual. The only two ways that the Foundation knows of right now is to either feel an emotion that is non negative, or to complete Procedure 001-Eluminous, which was created by the [LINK FOR THE DOCUMENT] Lawrence Mental Health Institute] [See Addendum 2].
All knowledge of SCP-001 is on site ██ with Dr. ████ and his team of researchers. All researchers that are currently working on SCP-001 are to be kept on site-██.
Any attempt from the researchers to leave or escape will be met with termination no knowledge of 001 must not leave site ██ no one must know of it besides the researchers assigned to SCP-001 and of course, 05.
Description: SCP-001 seems to be some sort of arcane set of ritualistic symbols. Some of these symbols are incomprehensible. SCP-001 appears on all surfaces and is invisible to the human eye. It is also observed to be a cognitohazard that gives off an odorless gas much like carbon monoxide, and a form of infrasound, making it detectable to some extent.
Judging from it’s anomalous effect on hearing/smelling; SCP-001 is what we perceive as negative emotions. SCP-001 can also replicate itself, (the clones hence being referred to as SCP-001-1,) so that it’s actual form is nearly impossible to read.
SCP-001 appears to be the cause for up to 40% of all extreme mental illnesses and suicides worldwide.
After extensive studying and research of SCP-001 and its properties, it is confirmed to be the focal point of all extreme mental illnesses and suicides worldwide [See addendum #1].
When it’s SCP-001’s time to feed, it will go to its victims when they’re in a time of distress, usually in their early to mid 20’s, and give them it’s “curse,” slowly draining their sanity to a point of mental breakdown or suicide. This “curse,” deemed SCP-001-2, in extreme cases, slowly reveals what some patients call the “truth” [See Testing Log 1].
SCP-001 is no ordinary SCP; hence, the name. It has been mentioned in many different religions, such as christianity and hinduism. It was referred to as a ‘sin,’ and in buddhism getting rid of it was called ‘enlightenment.’ The real thing is that some SCP’s just kill. It’s just what they were made/born to do. But some of them, like SCP-049, say that they’re fighting against a plague. Maybe that plague is us. We may just be the fleas, when SCP-001 is The Black Death. The carrier. I say this, because bad emotions make us do irrational things that can harm and kill. Maybe, just maybe, not all of the things that we refer to as harmful SCPs were harmful, but over time, SCP-001 corrupted them, and gave them killer instincts.
I have sufficient evidence that many of them are affected by 001. SCP-096 is so envyus, that it kills you if you see it, or if it sees you, 682 shows wrath it hates all things, 610 consumes everything it shows to be gluttonous, 166 is just plain out lust, and the list goes on. All of these SCP’s, whether it be through kinetic, verbal, or even in drawings, have communicated to us about the plague. They all claim the reason you've never seen logs about this, is because we got rid of them. They’re not doing what they were made to do. Who knows? 173 may be a friendly being after all. But now, we only have one question: What were they like before they got corrupted?
Test A - Date: ██/██/████
Subject: D-1066
Procedure: studying the effect of a Ritual that D-1066 participated in
Analysis: D-1066 was very stable yet something was off: he always talked about something he called the “truth.”
[Approximately [REDACTED] days after exposure to SCP-001 and its properties.]
Dr. ████: Okay ██████, can i come in?
D-1066: NO! I never told you that you could use my name.
[Dr. ████ proceeds to walk in D-1066’s containment cell.]
Dr. ████: I want to talk about what you call “The truth”.
[Everything falls silent and the door opens D-1066 is waiting]
D-1066: Sit down.
Dr. ████: Have you seen it.
D-1066: Y-yes. I saw him.
Dr. ████: We need to know what he is.
[D-1066 starts twitching]
D-1066: He is a writer; The maker of the symbols.
Dr. ████: By symbols you mean SCP-001, or is “he” 001?
D-1066: The things he does causes balance. We need him.
Dr. ████: If you call the masses of deaths from suicide “balance,” then you
must have lost your fucking mind.
[D-1066 begins trying to cut himself]
D-1066: He’s doing this for a reason.
Dr. ████: Whatever it is, we need to get rid of-
D-1066: YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. IT’S A GOD.
[D-1066 cuts into his veins]
Dr. ████: Oh my god… We need to get you to a doctor ASAP.
D-1066: He is stronger than flesh, and is over any intellect. I'll show you.
Dr. ████: You’re losing blood.
D-1066: You need to know the beauty of Chaos.
[D-1066 starts drawing what SCP-001 looks like on the walls with his blood]
D-1066: See? He’s higher then the red king, and the blue sky!
Dr. ████: Guards, get me out of here now! The door won’t open.
D-1066: I hear a little voice sometimes, but I’m not crazy… right doctor?
Dr. ████: Get the fuck away from me! GUARDS! OPEN THE DAMN DOORS!
D-1066: I just want to show you. He needs friends… he is oh so lonely.
Dr. ████: No, stop! Just stop talking! Guards, help me!
D-1066: ‘Help me’ you plead. You don’t understand, you have been saved.
Doctor, he welcomes you now into his world with open arms. Feel its warm embrace.
You can now finally know the truth! Go and spread it!
[Lights start to flicker. The most SCP-001 energy ever detected at the time was
reported to be emitted from within the room.]
Dr. ████: GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?
[At that moment, an MTF Member opens the door and fires 4 shots at D-1066]
D-1066: I only wanted to help.
[D-1066 falls over, later dies of blood loss. Dr. ████ is safely recovered, after
entering a catatonic state for almost an hour.]

If you have read up to this point, you would know that 001 takes a very heavy toll on the human psyche. This is problematic, because it bends our minds to such an extent that the person affected only wish for death. This effect will get worse every year, due to SCP-001’s ability replicating itself. Hence, making the person more susceptible to the effects of 001. However, a possible solution to this is SCP-999 because of its effects [See test log 2] on the human psyche. But this effect doesn’t last forever, and is a short-term solution. It could also potentially make it worse, because much like a bacteria, SCP-001 could develop even more. Thus, being completely immune to 999.
Also, just to clarify to you all: Yes, SCP-001 is still developing as we speak. It evolves when we evolve. Our researchers have also suggested the happy side of SCP-035 as a counter to 001, but letting SCP-035 out of containment is to high of a risk for now, since it seems to have incredible manipulative talent. All we can really do now, is pray to the speaker of order. Since right now, it’s the only thing that can save us.
<End Log>
Test A - Date: ██/██/████
Subject: D-1083
Procedure: Testing if 999 can stop the effects of 001
Dr. ███████: Can you hear me?
D-1053: Yes…
Dr. ███████: Good, lets begin.
D-1053: Wait, before you say anything, what is this test about?
Dr. ███████: We are exposing you to a new type of beneficial drug that may
cure your SCP-001 effects.
D-1053: Okay…
[Dr. ███████ releases SCP-999 into D-1053’s cell]
D-1053: Dr. ███████, what is that thing? Get it out of here.
Dr. ███████: Calm down, you know what happens when you lose your cool.
D-1053: Okay, I’m calm…
Dr. ███████: Don’t worry; it won’t hurt you.
[SCP-999 wraps around D-1053 and begins trying to tickling him]
D-1053: Wait, what are you doing?
[D-1053 sits there emotionless]
D-1053: Dr. ███████, what is this thing trying to do?
Dr. ███████: It’s supposed to make you feel happy. Do you by any chance feel
anything at all?
D-1053: No. I feel nothing. I don’t think i’ve ever have.
Dr. ███████: Okay, noted. Well, I guess that concludes our little test. We’ll get
that thing out of your cell now.

[REDACTED]: So you saw it…
Dr. ████: Yes.
[REDACTED]: How lucky you are. You were the only one who saw it, because all > of the blood from D-1066 dripped off the wall. What a shame.
Dr. ████: Wait, who are you?
[REDACTED]: Oh right, you wouldn’t know, I am ████. I have just the same
clearance as you.
Dr. ████: Then you can let me out of this containment. I need to complete the
procedure as soon as possible.
[REDACTED]: I’m sorry. You're too far gone, and you know that.
Dr. ████: You mean that they’re on me?
[REDACTED]: Yes.
Dr. ████: You would need to be able see them to know that 001 has attached
itself to me… So how can you see them.
Dr. ████: You know who I am, I’m [REDACTED].
Dr. ████: So, are you just going to let me descend into madness?
[REDACTED]: Yes, but no at the same time. We need to know the truth, but we
also need you to hold on to your sanity. We still need you. You’re still a top
researcher, so do your job as normal.
Dr. ████: Okay, but wait. Before you go, how am I talking to you? I don’t see
anyone, nor any speakers.
Dr. ████:… You’re not.

Procedure 001-Eluminous is a cult like ritual that we have performed on certain D-Class personnel. It makes subject emotionless, and turns them into a mindless piece of a whole a hive mind. Short of everything they do after this procedure is perfect. Order of the Procedure requires 3 subjects: a baby, an adolescent, and an adult, which is a D-class. The subjects then get placed on their own individual pillars. The size of the pillars correlate to the age; the smallest being the on the tallest pillar, and oldest being on the smallest pillar.
After this, seven sinners must surround the pillars. Each sinner has a number, and a mask. The Masks are connected to the seven deadly sins. The numbers of the masks can be picked at random. Blood from the 3 subjects must be drawn. The drops must be then placed on the on the “sinners”. The drops must correlate to their numbers; one drop for number one, two drops for number two, and so on.
The “sinner” will then start to draw with anything around them. During this period, they will turn completely emotionless. After they stop drawing, they are to be terminated immediately. The drawings on the wall are drawings of 001’s counterparts; what they call “order”. Any observations of the drawing 001-3 will result in you becoming a emotionless and immune to the effects of 001. More information on 001-3 will be added as we find out more about it, and it’s anomalies effects .

Description: SCP-001-3 is a collection of symbols/drawings that appear in many different religions. It is also observed to be a cognitohazard that affects sight. SCP-001-3 blends in with whatever it comes in contact with it. This is why you are not aware of 001-3, even though you're constantly looking at one. SCP-001-3 has a psychic link with everyone in a 20 meter radius. The effect from seeing or being in SCP-001-3 radius is what human beings perceive as positive emotion.
If you are in the 20 meter radius of SCP-001-3 you have a chance of seeing Visions. These Visions show what 001-3 looks like. The Foundation thinks that the founders of some religions saw SCP-001-3, and they perceived what they saw as a message of God, and then made what they saw a key part of there new found religion. Things like the cross, the nine pointed star, the Star and crescent, and even the foundation logo has all been seen in the visions that SCP-001-3 produces.
This article was recovered from Dr. ████’s computer on ██/██/████.
Be warned that this article has not yet been tested for SCP-001-3, nor its properties.
Read at your own risk.
I’m going to tell you a story. This is a story where the more I talk, the more that you’ll see it. Now, lets begin… A long time ago before our universe began, there was a beast of darkness that was born into oblivion. From the moment it was born, it immediately wanted to explore to find something, that thing being a purpose. It wandered around for a long time, just searching for a purpose. Eventually, it came across a beautiful garden with a tree in the center.
It looked around in this garden with awe, and found multiple holes in the ground. Puzzled, it explored further, and eventually found ants. It had never seen another living thing like this before; and it wanted to learn all about it. But when the beast touched one, it died. Out of pure curiosity, it touched a few more, and they all died. This whole time, it was focused on finding something new, and not seeing what it already had the power to do. It touched a flower, and it died. It then went up to the tree in the center of the garden, touched a branch, and it withered and fell destroying part of the garden.
Now knowing what it could do, it looked back at the ants. He spoke to them in a language it just created, and when it spoke, the ants understood, and obeyed its every word. He told them to entertain him. When he didn’t find it entertaining, he asked them to do something chaotic. They started fighting one and other. The beast found this very entertaining. He started to make the ants go to war, but soon it got bored so it tried to make it more interesting. He imbued the ants with its newfound power, and they started to mutate. When they finished changing, they became a new species; the things that we would now call SCPs. The beast loved watching his new creatures.
One day, the beast saw something in the distance. It looked like him, but it was light. The beast felt the thing coming from whatever was out there. When it came closer his creations stopped. They started to become more aware of the war they were doing. They started to become peaceful. The other beast walked into the garden. They both inspected each other.
They both were so similar, and yet so different. One being made light, and the other being made of darkness. One being chaos, and the other being order. They both decided to balance the garden, to be at peace with each other. Now, nobody has control over the other. Everything lived in unison.
But soon, they both wanted to take control of the garden. Chaos immediately sent his creations to fight, but Order made the creations circum to his will. The creations went from chaotic to orderly. However, it wasn’t long before Chaos would make the creations all go back to his side. They were fighting the most intense war ever had, and without moving a single muscle.
You might be wondering why they sent the creations to do all of their deeds for them. Well, it's because both of the beasts knew that a confrontation would mean the death of the garden. It’s almost as if they were playing a game of chess, constantly sending their pawns, unwilling to admit defeat.
And where were we in all of this? Well, we were the pawns. That’s why this world has so many of those blasted things, all because of this little game of gods.
Date: ██/██/████.
We were contacted by an Institute known as the Lawrence Mental Health Institute. This Institute says they’re very interested in our knowledge of SCP-001, and claims to be founded for, and dedicated to the containment/study of 001 and its effects on biological life. After meeting with some of their personnel [See “The Institution Log”], the Institute took in some of our D-Class subjects that seemed to be affected with 001 for further study on their end. When we asked them how they knew about 001, they replied with this message:
“I can assure you that the reason behind our founding is to contain it, and to contain it only. However; even to us, to this date, it is still unclear how our initial founder found this anomaly. What we can tell you though, is how we study it. Since we are disguised as an Institution, we get an abundance of cases of 001 in the form of the mentally ill.”
We asked one more question; that question being “How did your Institution come up with this ‘Procedure 001-Eluminous’.” They replied with saying how it came to them after “A long time.” They didn’t elaborate any further.
The SCP Foundation recently came across another group of individuals that knew of 001 and its properties called “The Truth Seekers”. However; they were hostile. This group somehow knew how to manipulate 001 into a potential BI-Class Human Ending Scenario cognito-weapon.
If you would like to know all of the details, go here [Link to upcoming document].
001-3 has become a serious problem to all on site personnel. The visions that 001-3 makes, usually comes up in dreams. Since we are more exposed to both the negative and positive energy of 001, we are more susceptible to these visions. If these visions continue, we will eventually become puppets to 001-3. Our top researcher on SCP-001 proposed the use of amnestics on Class D personnel. We have yet to test this, but 05-█ thinks this will work.
Edit from Dr. ██:
I hope it works… termination is NOT on my to do list.
Recovered file from Dr. ██:
The vision… We can’t stop them. We’re losing researcher after researcher. At this point, We’ve have used everything from amnestics to other mind warping SCP’s, and nothing seems to be able to get rid of these visions. I fear that all of us will be replaced just like the group before us, and the group before them, and the group before that…
At this point, god knows how many groups there's been. All I know is that there is only one person from the original research group, with that being Dr. ████. He's a fucking 001-2 by now, but is still apparently ‘valuable’ to the Foundation. We’re the ones doing the actual work, it’s just amazing that we’re not considered valuable to them, but a living cognitohazard is. I like to ask myself ‘Why him?’ a lot. Is it just because he is trusted to “find out” what this thing really is? He’s just a mad man that the Foundation is holding on to… Do they really think that someone in a straightjacket can find something that a whole organization missed? Because who knows? Maybe we (people who are actually fucking sane may I mind you,) can stop this. Is Dr. ████ really our only hope? Because if he is, we’re doomed.

Dr. ████: I’ve found it.
[REDACTED]: What exactly is it?
Dr. ████: It’s [DATA EXPUNGED]
[REDACTED]: Can we contain it?
Dr. ████: No.
[REDACTED]: Can we resist it?
Dr. ████: No.
[REDACTED]: Then… how do we stop it ?
Dr. ████: We don’t. We must pick a side.
[The room falls silence]
[A distorted voice suddenly breaks the silence]
<ERROR>: How about we release it? We know how.
Dr. ████: Yes. We are the only ones with the knowledge to pick which side
humanity is on. No one else is able to

Mission log 1
Capt ███
Time: 11:26PM
Approximately 15 minutes after a containment breach caused by Dr. ████, the
Omega 5 Council voted for our new prime objective to be capturing and terminating
Dr. ████. He’s attempting to escape with information about 001 as of now. We
have reason to believe that he intends to bring this information to the organization
called The TruthSeekers. We don’t know his intentions yet, but as a member of the
foundation, we must assume the worst.
Synopsis: Dr. ████ has breached containment, and is attempting to escape.
Time: 11:31PM
Approximately 20 minutes after the containment breach, and we spot something on
the horizon. We have our team’s sniper, B-███, get into position. We radio him, but
he doesn’t respond. We have no time to see/check on him, so we assumed that an
SCP was hunting us. I told the rest of the group to stay alert, and we continued on.
Synopsis: B-███ is missing, maybe killed in action, and we’re possibly being hunted.
Time: 11:41PM
Approximately 30 minutes after the containment breach, we started to close in on
the target. He had stopped most likely to catch his breath. I told my team through
the radio to surround him, but I got no responses, so I went in by myself. He was
unarmed, so I confronted him with my Taurus Raging Bull. I was really to kill, and
that's when I blinked. SCP-173 snapped my gun in two. I didn’t know what to do; I
thought I had died. That’s when Dr. ████ subdued me. He gave me a choice: I could
look at SCP-001-3 and see ‘The Truth’, or die. At first I didn't say anything, because I
was still perplexed on why SCP-173 wasn’t attacking, but I eventually agreed to see.
Dr. ████ showed me a piece of paper with some sort of symbol, and I got to walk
away with my life. I thought I was important to the foundation, but when I got back > to the site, they turned me into D-Class, and now I have to sit in a cell. At least I
still get a computer to write this in. When I asked why I’m in here, the researchers
said ”It’s because you know the truth.” But I don’t know what the truth even
is… I’m trapped… I need help.
Synopsis: Apparently, I saw The Truth, but I don’t even know what it is… Is this something that’s special only to me? I don’t know what’s going on… but I need to get out of here.
<End Log>
**Conclusion Statement: Capt ███ was kept as an D-Class (due to his heightened signs of paranoia and anger) for 2 months, until the Omega 5 Council voted on him not being a threat. He was released, and got his rank back as Captain.
Dating on ██/██/████, a massive influx of SCP-001 energy was detected over the small town of Amador, Durango, Mexico. After this, mobile task force Alpha-0 (Hand Of God) was deployed. The origin of this energy seemed to be in an abandoned warehouse. Inside, there were some members of the TruthSeekers, and in the middle of the room, Dr. ████ was lying on the ground, asleep. There was a crowd of people in a circle, with Dr. ████ in the middle. Some sort of ritual of unknown origin had happened here. No one but Dr. ████ had a pulse. The task force was then ordered to terminate Dr. ████.
The captain complied, and he fired one .45 ACP bullet from his Kriss Vector into the doctor's head. He then checked for pulse; he still had one. He fired another shot into his head. He was still alive. The O5 came over 10 minutes later. The teams were asked to take Dr. ████ back to Site-██ for further testing.
Item #: SCP-001-4
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-001-4 is to be contained in a 5 meter by 5 meter cell. This is to be monitored at all times. No personnel are to go into the cell at any time, except when approved by two personnel with 03 clearance level or higher. SCP-001-4 is to be covered up as SCP-████, and all personnel except for the 001 research team and the 05 are to be given a decoy document. All personnel that have talked to SCP-001-4 must be tested afterwards for any signs of insanity.
SCP-001-4 is to be fed three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He is to be fed these meals whenever he requests, as long as it has been over an hour and a half since his last meal. His cell is to be stocked with books, but no writing material whatsoever. If SCP-001-4 is ever found with any drawing material, his cell is to be burned.
Due to recent events, no cameras are to be installed into SCP-001-4’s containment. Instead as an alternative, microphones are placed all around his cell to detect any sounds of drawing or writing. Alpha-0 is to be notified whenever these sounds are detected within the vicinity of his cell.
Description: SCP-001-4 is a 39 year old caucasian male named ██████ ████; formerly known to the foundation as Dr. ████. Dr. ████ was a former researcher at the fondation for SCP-001 before escaping along with SCP-173, and later becoming a part of The Truthseekers organization. he was later found in a abandoned warehouse in Amador, Mexico. SCP-001-4 seems to have a split personality disorder. It is unknown how many personalities he has, but as of now, only two have been observed. One of his known personalities has been diagnosed with the 001 Insanity effect, and the other just seems to be Dr. ████.
SCP-001-4 has the power to freely manipulate negative emotions in others that are within a hearing, seeing, smelling, etc distance of him. He attained this power via an unknown ritual that seems to be connected to something else entirely. Dr. ████ refers to this entities as the “High Elder Gods”. He says that there are two and, that they are the god of Order, and Chaos. Although this is not the confirmed origin of his power, if this is true, then that means that Dr. ████ is most likely much more dangerous than then he is classified to be right now, and his Containment Procedures should be changed to fit any change in power.
