Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: All publicly accessible areas currently affected by SCP-XXX are to be closed under Cover Story 43.¹ Foundation web crawlers will continually monitor popular media outlets and social media websites for any mention of events surrounding SCP-XXXX. If discovered, these mentions are to be removed, with all exposed individuals being amnestized per standard protocol.

Due to SCP-XXXX's expanding growth, Foundation personnel have determined any containment procedures concerning the anomaly to be ineffective. Methods of future containment have become a top research priority.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous phenomenon which only occurs within a circular² area of Felli, Greece in which combustion, and by extension heat transfer used for food preparation by humans is not possible. SCP-XXXX manifests in the form of chemical combustion being impossible to be achieved, and any form of ignition device fails to start. Other forms of generating heat such as heaters, ovens, and hair straighteners continue to work until used for food preparation, in which they experience an inexplicable mechanical failure.

Distinct connections have been found between SCP-XXXX, and the noosphere.³ This relation further concluded that SCP-XXXX is the result of unearthed archeological artifacts detailing a story of the fire given to mankind by Prometheus being taken back to the gods for the forgiveness of Prometheus crimes.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered on June 12, 2000, in Felli when reports of inability to start fires surfaced. Subsequent interviews and investigations revealed that prior to SCP-XXXX that several artifacts had been uncovered and subsequent translation revealed new findings of Greek Mythology. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX and the size of Felli, it was determined that the most effective solution was to evacuate all inhabitants under Cover Story 32.⁴

I want to preface this email with something that we both know. One, the current measures containing SCP-XXXX are not practical by any means considering its constant growth and the fact that it is rapidly nearing a populated area. Take into consideration that Felli is part of the Grevena municipality and the last census put the population around 9,345. Evacuating 200 people while possible, is impractical in the long term. Especially if we have to evacuate 9000 or more people. You can bullshit the explanation for this anomaly to some campers easily but you can't explain why Yannis Papadopoulos's oven constantly and inexplicably bricks every time they try to cook a steak.

From prior testing and what we found out during the discovery. SCP-XXXX is related to the manifestation of a changed common understanding of mythology in Felli, which is possibly something related to noosphere and human cognition and well…

From prior testing and what we found out during discovery. SCP-XXXX is a noosphoric nucleation related to a manipulated understanding of Greek Mythology in Felli. This means is that this particular facet in the Noosphere used to be meta-stable and now it is rocketing down very fast to try to reach a stable point that makes it easy to manipulate.

Attached to this email is a project file, please take a look at it and tell me your thoughts.

PROJECT PROPOSAL: HESTIA

Currently, the main theory behind SCP-XXXX growth is that it is related to a concept within the Noosphere of how Prometheus eventually escaped and took fire back from Mankind. Most people would think this would be upfront and easily dealt with; just go in and take it back but that is as practical as going in your ordinary picture book and stealing something from that character — Yes, I know about Pataphysics Division, just try to get the metaphor.

Now, all of this is still real of course, its having huge influence over reality right now and it was born from a story influencing a meta-stable facet of the noosphere and that is our ticket to fixing this. If a few fragments caused this shift, imagine if a concentrated effort by an organization with our resources could do.

Considering the factors at play here, I'm proposing that we manufacture numerous art pieces in the likeness of Ancient Greek art, detailing stories of how fire inherently belonged to mankind and was given to them by Hestia, and that the initial story of Prometheus giving fire to mankind was prompted by Zeus stealing fire from them.

We will disseminate these pieces around Greece, either as new discoveries or as pre-existing pieces in museums, this combined with amnestic, exploiting human psychology and memory, and controlling the narrative through social media and popular new sites can effectively change the public perception of Greek Mythology, and with further reinforcement can not only change this specific facet in the Noosphere but make it meta-stable.

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:

Show Old Revision

All publicly accessible areas currently affected by SCP-XXX are to be closed under Cover Story 43.⁵ Foundation web crawlers will continually monitor popular media outlets and social media websites for any mention of events surrounding SCP-XXXX. If discovered, these mentions are to be removed, with all exposed individuals being amnestized per standard protocol.

Due to SCP-XXXX's expanding growth, Foundation personnel have determined any containment procedures concerning the anomaly to be ineffective. Methods of future containment have become a top research priority.

Foundation webcrawlers will continually monitor popular media outlets and social media websites located within Greece for news of new archeological discoveries and are to be screened by Foundation personnel as soon as possible.

If it is discovered that the new archeological artifacts threaten the meta-stability of SCP-XXXX, they are to be destroyed and any involved civilians to be administered amnestic.

Furthermore, the current status of Greek Mythology and its common perception must be routinely reinforced to prevent a noosphoric nucleation.

Description:

Show Old Revision

SCP-XXXX is an anomalous phenomenon which only occurs within a circular⁶ area of Felli, Greece in which combustion, and by extension heat transfer used for food preparation by humans is not possible. SCP-XXXX manifests in the form of chemical combustion being impossible to be achieved, and any form of ignition device fails to start. Other forms of generating heat such as heaters, ovens, and hair straighteners continue to work until used for food preparation, in which they experience an inexplicable mechanical failure.

Distinct connections have been found between SCP-XXXX, and the noosphere.⁷ This relation further concluded that SCP-XXXX is the result of unearthed archeological artifacts detailing a story of the fire given to mankind by Prometheus being taken back to the gods for the forgiveness of Prometheus crimes.

SCP-XXXX is a meta-stable facet within the Noosphere located within Greece. This particular facet deals with the concept of fire and cooking. Prior to Foundation involvement, this facet was not truly stable and could easily be influenced into a new stable state leading to the prior discovery by the Foundation.

Currently, SCP-XXXX is meta-stable and this is reinforced by its containment procedures.

Discovery:

Show Old Revision

SCP-XXXX was discovered on June 12, 2000, in Felli when reports of inability to start fires surfaced. Subsequent interviews and investigations revealed that prior to SCP-XXXX that several artifacts had been uncovered and subsequent translation revealed new findings of Greek Mythology. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX and the size of Felli, it was determined that the most effective solution was to evacuate all inhabitants under Cover Story 32.⁸

SCP-XXXX was discovered on June 12, 2000, following the original manifestation of SCP-XXXX within Felli when reports of the inability to start fires surfaced.

Addendum: Following the implementation of project 'Hestia', several manufactured artifacts were disseminated across Greece, and sent towards:

• Historians, to decipher the artifacts and re-construct the myth;
• New outlets, to spread the discovery of the artifacts and new myth;
• Private collectors, to generate interest and demand in the new artifacts;
• Museums, to replace old contradictory artifacts.

Following this along with efforts to influence social media and news sites, the new myth had entered the Noosphere and giving SCP-XXX a new meta-stable state. Following this, SCP-XXXX was classified as "Euclid" to reflect its new containment protocols.

thank yous
Big thank you to chiifu InvictusRaged Marcelles_Raynes Dr Moned JakdragonX Luxaiko for critting this in general and taking a look over it!

If I forgot you, sorry its been awhile! Let me know if I forgot you and I'll include you!

A big thank you to:

slashannemoo for taking a look over this and critting it, but being a huge help in pointing me in a direction of how to take this, it was extremely appreciated thank you so much.

BlueJones has been a big help in helping my confidence in being able to do this, and making me feel welcome, thank you Bluejones.

And an extra big thank you to my Partner, Eclipse. She doesn't have an account here, but I do appreciate her help.
