Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid (Previously Safe)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is, at the time of writing, currently uncontainable, though current research suggests that the majority of anomalous events that have been sighted by either Foundation personnel or civilians (which have been given various amnestics), have been originally climacting in the Midwest Region of the United States.
The only locations that have potential information about the events taken place during SCP-XXXX are particularly found along Michigan’s Great Lakes (specifically Lake Huron). Certain areas along these bodies of water have been assigned to MTF Alpha 9 “Last Hope” and multiple Foundation researchers for investigation. Should any incident occur, other Mobile Task Force units will be standing by for further action.
SCP-XXXX-1 is to be kept in a medium storage locker on Site-77, and is accessible to Foundation personnel with level 2 clearance or higher.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an ongoing phenomenon, being associated in places of high forest density (with the exception of a few urban areas) in which at certain times manifest an open hole, or more commonly described by SCP-XXXX’s research team, “The Gap”. This gap is relatively small, and is measured to be the width of a #2 standard wooden pencil. These manifestations are not completely random, however, as several locations have been designated as hotspots for SCP-XXXX.
It is concluded by research that SCP-XXXX has never led away from the ground level, and cannot be physically moved or dug into by physical means, as the surrounding soil of SCP-XXXX is impenetrable, and cannot be destroyed by any physical means or by technology. This effect dissipates when SCP-XXXX has moved to another location.
[Test 1: C4 charges
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: Surround the area of SCP-XXXX's current location, then detonate the charges.
Results: The ground that surrounds SCP-XXXX is unscathed in the explosion, apart from the vegetation in the area.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX's area of effect cannot be affected by combustion or heat (apart from some minor effects).
Test 2: CAT D10T2 Bulldozer
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: Attempt to break up the ground in SCP-XXX's area of effect with physical force.
Results: SCP-XXX's surrounding area does not react to the actions of the CAT Bulldozer, even the weight of the vehicle on it's terrain.
Analysis:SCP-XXX's area of effect makes it so that it cannot be altered by physical actions or effects (as of current testing). ]
Other methods of getting through SCP-XXXX are pending. No incidents have occured during the following testing procedures.
SCP-XXXX by itself does not currently pose a threat to life or the environment around it, but further research suggests that it posed a much more violent threat decades earlier. This was deemed as a plausible by SCP-XXXX-1, a 1989 Sony 8mm “Handycam” camcorder. SCP-4683-1 was retrieved by Foundation personnel on September 18th, 20██, at ██████ National Park, █████████ . It was originally found by residential park cleaners and handed over under professional means. The condition of SCP-XXXX-1 is seen to be visually damaged, with the front lens being unrepairable. However, before it's lens were damaged, there were several videos recorded and saved on the camcorder’s drive space, which can still be viewed.
The stored videos are dated from December 6th, 1989 to August 25th, 1993, and do not exhibit any notable anomalous properties or cognitohazards.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered during a containment breach of SCP-████, during which the entirety of the Northern Hemisphere was presumed to be overrun by anomalous occurrences, many of which were detectable or dangerous to civilians. A distress signal was intercepted by multiple Mobile Task Force units, in which the coordinates were pinpointed to the populated town of ███████, near Lake Erie, on of Michigan's "Great lakes".
Current Special Containment Procedures were introduced later on in the investigation process.
The following excerpt is from the contents of the last recorded video on SCP-XXX-1's drive, which is the only recording that is exceeds ten minutes of length. Further description of the events will be displayed onscreen.
00:00 - Video begins, with the SCP-XXXX-1 panning over to what appears to be the activity usually seen in a house party.
Unknown male: “Hey, Chris! Gonna chug one down for us?”
Chris(Presumably): “Aw, you know it man! Ey, everybody!”
SCP-XXXX-1 pans to the crowd of people, who watch Chris chug several cans of an undistinguished brand of beer.
No different activity for nine minutes, apart from several other members of the crowd attempting it themselves.
10:01 - Cameraman walks outside, stating to an unknown individual to get some fresh air. SCP-XXXX-1 then pans over to a picnic table, where the man sits down.
Unknown male: *sighs*”…aw, lord…Can’ believe I said that. But hey. *off camera rustling* “At least I can still grab a few whisks here and there…”
10:03 - The man, at this moment, notices an SCP-XXXX instance under the table, as it can be seen under the man's legs. SCP-XXXX is seen larger than what current research dictates and can be seen further expanding.
Unknown Man: “Wh-… What? What is that?”
The man is silent for five seconds. “…The hell is it??”
The next ten minutes shows the man running back into the house, and calling everybody in the main room to go outside. It takes only a little while until an arguably large crowd has gathered around SCP-XXXX, which has been cleared of the table, and seen to have stopped expanding. It is now roughly measured to be the size of a competition-level soccer ball.
10:15 - (SCP-XXXX-1 is set on the edge of the picnic table seat, facing SCP-XXXX.) “Anybody knows what that is? Anybody? Because I’m not going near it. Nuh-uh.”
Several heads can be shaking can be seen from the crowd.
Then, a visibly drunk Chris, holding a can of Royal Dutch beer, is seen shoving himself out from the crowd, and looking at SCP-XXXX. Chris then motions his can towards the camcorder. He speaks, through his voice is unrecognizable due to constant slurring, and stumbles toward SCP-XXXX, causing him to trip and fall inside of the anomaly, his leg gone within it.
The crowd suddenly goes quiet, then explodes into fits of screams and laughter, with many going towards SCP-XXXX to help Chris get out. SCP-XXXX-1 is then picked up by the same man handling it beforehand.
10:37 - SCP-XXXX begins to then consume Chris, but without expanding. Instead, the shadows of hands appear in multiple places on Chris’s body, forcefully crushing him in the process. These hands are shown to be in the thousands range, adding to the pressure until the remains of Chris fully enters SCP-XXXX-1.The anomaly quickly converts him into what can be recognizable as a mess of blood and shards of organs.
The entire crowd now watches in complete shock and disgust, with some even seen fainting or vomiting. SCP-XXXX-1 then shows the ground in front of it, now partially marred red from the remains of Chris.
SCP-XXXX then begins what seems to look like as a second stage (see Addendum), with footprints coming towards SCP-XXXX-1, making loud, thunderous steps. Each step is represented as a shadow on the ground, and it is regarded to the Foundation as an additional entity , labeled SCP-XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX-1 is then swung at by an the manifested entity, causing its capture lens to break, but not enough force to destroy the inner workings, so it still picks up audio.
10:37-16:52 - At this point, there are multiple sounds of flesh being torn apart, and squishing sounds, all along with the footsteps of SCP-XXXX-A. It goes on for approximately five minutes and seventeen seconds. At the sixteen minute mark, sounds of SCP-XXXX-A’s footsteps can be heard for twenty-three seconds. Nothing else is heard for the remainder of the recording.
RECORDING ENDS
Using the footage from SCP-XXXX-1’s recording, it is confirmed that SCP-XXXX-A is an entity that can manifest itself during SCP-XXXX’s expanding phase, which will occur if a living creature is exposed to it. The footage from SCP-XXXX-1 shows that if the hole is disturbed, it will appear, and if present, killing anything near it. This entity is seen as semi-transparent, and can only be fully tracked by the shadows of hands and footprints. Footage shows that SCP-XXXX-A has an incalculable amount of hands and shows formidable crushing capacity.
Addendum: As of 8/17/18, SCP-XXXX has been designated as Euclid. Further testing for SCP-4683’s anomalous effects have been postponed. Only Foundation Personnel with level 4 credentials have access to SCP-XXXX's testing procedures, once deemed harmless.
