Special Containment Procedures: Direct containment of SCP-5070 is currently infeasible; however, immediate response to 5070-TEMPEST events is sufficient to mitigate their harmful effects. Project Kapnos has been established to this end, and is tasked with coordinating SCP-5070 response operations and developing predictive models of 5070-TEMPEST events.
Mobile Task Force Nu-1 ("Chainsmokers") has been enlisted to respond to 5070-TEMPEST events. Members of MTF Nu-1 are to possess a Cognitive Resistance Value (CRV) exceeding 18 at minimum, as well as experience in operating in low-gravity environments. Upon confirmation of a 5070-TEMPEST event, MTF Nu-1 members are to immediately establish a provisional outpost at sea level in the affected location and self-administer Class-☇ Agnostics before proceeding into SCP-5070-1 and summarily executing Procedure 5070/BACKDRAFT.
Following the completion of Procedure 5070/BACKDRAFT, all civilian witnesses to SCP-5070 as well as all members of MTF Nu-1 are to be detained, amnesticized and released.
Description: SCP-5070 designates a phenomenon affecting oceans globally which entails the spontaneous conversion of saline water into an anomalous form of smoke. Areas affected by SCP-5070, designated SCP-5070-1, invariably extend from the surface of the ocean to the seabed but encompass irregular and random dimensions horizontally.
The substance composing SCP-5070-1, despite being chemically identical to non-anomalous smoke in composition, behaves similarly to a liquid with a slightly higher viscosity than water. Buoyant objects are able to float on SCP-5070-1, and dense objects will sink in it
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5882 is to be contained in the Anomalous Items Storage wing of Site-37. Byproducts of SCP-5882 are to be collected and disposed of weekly, and its storage locker repaired as necessary. Testing with SCP-5882 is ongoing.
Description: SCP-5882 is a mechanical device located in the Anomalous Items Storage wing of Site-37 and affixed immovably to the bottom shelf of a standard storage locker. SCP-5882 is composed of interlocking brass gears and plates; despite its apparent composition, it cannot be physically damaged.
SCP-5882 was discovered inside its storage locker, which was previously empty and unused, on 03-05-2020. Subsequent testing has determined that SCP-5882 constantly removes minute amounts of metal from its surroundings through unknown means and anomalously converts this metal into shavings of chemically pure brass.
The origin of SCP-5882 is unclear. Extensive investigations into possible Group of Interest involvement, particularly GoI-004 (“Church of the Broken God/Mekhanites”), have thus far failed to uncover any recent anomalous or mundane activity nearby or pertaining to Site-37 on 03-05-2020, although further measures are ongoing.
Logs of ongoing testing with SCP-5882 may be viewed below.
Special Containment Procedures: Several copies of SCP-5720 and supplementary documents are to be retained on indefinite standby on a secure data server in Wing 5720 at Site-01. The individual components of SCP-5720 are also to be retained on indefinite standby in the same location if possible. If the onset of Scenario PLUTO is determined to be imminent, SCP-5720 is to be carried out immediately.
Description: SCP-5720 is a multistep procedure designed to ensure the safety of SCP-2000 during the eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano, or Scenario PLUTO. SCP-5720 involves the usage of several anomalous techniques and items1, as well as thaumaturgic rituals, to transport SCP-2000 from its current location underneath Yellowstone National Park to a pre-prepared secondary location designated Area-5720.
SCP-5720 is divided into exactly 7 distinct phases of operation, detailed below.| Phase # | Summary |
|---|---|
| 1 | Demarcation of a roughly spherical radius around SCP-2000 via electro-thaumatically conductive netting arranged into ritual configurations detailed in Document 5720-003HZ9G3. |
| 2 | Excavation of true north, south, east and west poles of SCP-2000, and subsequent engraving of thaumaturgic patterns fitted to specifications detailed in Document 5720-021JS45UU1 on exposed surfaces. |
| 3 | Deployment, and subsequent activation, of URA-5720-01 adjacent to SCP-2000 in order to supply constant electro-thaumatic energy flow across surrounding conductive netting. |
| 4 | Summary promotion of one Level 1 personnel, designated Subject-5720, to a member of the O5 Council, immediately followed by ritual sacrifice of Subject-5720 via the usage of URA-5720-02 to sever the femoral artery. Blood of Subject-5720 is collected in any available container. |
| 5 | Deployment of URA-5720-03 and URA-5720-04 in close proximity; surviving object is humanely euthanized, and its cerebrospinal fluid combined with the collected blood of Subject-5720. 5 mL of resulting solution is poured over central access terminal of SCP-2000. |
| 6 | Deployment of URA-5720-05 inside SCP-2000, and subsequent alignment of URA-5720-05 with magnetic north. Remainder of solution originating from Phase 5 is poured over URA-5720-05. Five seconds are allotted for solution to completely freeze. |
| 7 | Single electro-thaumatically conductive filament laid between URA-5720-05 and Area-5720; subsequent transportation of SCP-2000 to Area-5720. |
SCP-5720 is considered to be successfully executed following the completion of all seven phases.
No further action is necessary, as the eruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano would not be an anomalous event and would not require containment or alleviation. The safety of SCP-2000 is considered paramount, in particular due to its viability for use following Scenario PLUTO.
Special Containment Procedures: Social media and communications channels in the state of Indiana are to be monitored for mentions of phenomena potentially relating to SCP-XXXX. Under the supervision of the Memetics Department, individuals possessing SCP-XXXX are to be tracked, detained, interrogated and subsequently amnesticized in order to remove SCP-XXXX. Efforts to determine the cause of SCP-XXXX are ongoing.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous memory shared by an unknown number of individuals living in Evansville, Indiana. The exact number of individuals which possess SCP-XXXX is currently uncertain, but is accepted to exceed 90. Testing has determined that SCP-XXXX does not display anomalous resistance to amnestics, and may be safely removed similarly to non-anomalous memories. It is uncertain if individuals possessing SCP-XXXX share common traits; although investigation is ongoing, it is known that no Foundation personnel possess SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX displays anomalous consistency between affected subjects; it is always described as an event occurring in and around a large structure located in a warehouse district, designated SCP-XXXX-A. Although the apparent physical details of SCP-XXXX-A match those of Foundation secure sites, no Foundation sites have ever been constructed or planned to be constructed in the purported location of SCP-XXXX-A, which is in reality an empty lot. This lot has been assigned the supplemental designation Area-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX primarily involves an incursion on SCP-XXXX-A by a hostile anomalous entity, designated SCP-XXXX-B. Visual descriptions of SCP-XXXX-B have not yet been obtained, possibly indicating that it possesses perception-affecting attributes; it is presumably sentient and is known to possess considerable physical strength and size. Over the course of SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-B assaults SCP-XXXX-A, gradually compromising its structural integrity.
During SCP-XXXX, numerous humanoid entities with visual similarities to Foundation personnel are seen attempting to either combat or subdue SCP-XXXX-B. The majority of these entities are eventually killed, either via damage from the attacks of SCP-XXXX-B or structural failure of SCP-XXXX-A. No entities match records of living or deceased Foundation personnel and are therefore assumed not to exist in baseline reality.
Shortly before the total destruction of SCP-XXXX-A by SCP-XXXX-B, an unknown mechanical device is deployed by the remaining humanoid entities. Individuals possessing SCP-XXXX universally report that the memory abruptly ends shortly after this occurs. The reason for this is unclear.
It is currently accepted that the events of SCP-XXXX did not and have never occurred in reality. Nonetheless, by executive decision of the Memetics Department, an in-depth investigation into the locations and events involved in SCP-XXXX has been ordered and is currently underway.
Addendum 01.XXXX: Following extensive investigation and file review, several heavily degraded records were recovered from Site-77 DEEPWELL servers. These records pertained to the construction of an experimental memetotechnology research site in Area-XXXX, the exact purpose of which is classified. No such site was ever constructed. The reason for this remains unknown.
Further investigation has been deemed a high priority.
URGENT CONTAINMENT UPDATE 03-05-2020: Large quantities of concrete, glass and steel debris have recently become visible in Area-XXXX. All debris displays signs of heavy crush damage, severe fracturing and shear cracks from an unknown source.
Additionally, analysis of the debris has determined the presence of trace amounts of antimemetic radiation, consistent with the intentional detonation of an antimemetic explosive device. This detonation is theorized to have occurred approximately 20 years prior to discovery, with the radiation gradually degrading and decreasing in effectiveness over time. This would correspond with a gradual return to perceptibility on the parts of all contaminated objects.
Of note is that at the Foundation’s current level of understanding in regards to memetotechnology, no known piece of antimemetic weaponry is capable of exerting its effects on the scale observed or sustaining them for a period of time as long as 20 years.
Addendum 02.XXXX: After partial excavation of Area-XXXX, a metal hatch affixed to the ground was located. This hatch was subsequently breached via explosive charge, with the goal of further recovery of information pertaining to Area-XXXX and the circumstances surrounding its destruction.
A vertical borehole, possessing a series of ladder rungs mounted to its side, was located underneath the hatch. An exploration specialist sourced from MTF Rho-7 ("Tunnel Vision") was shortly authorized to enter the borehole and evaluate its contents. Attached below is an exploration transcript.
<BEGIN LOG>
Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation webcrawlers I/O-VERDANT, I/O-IGNEOUS and I/O-LATTICE are to monitor major social media networks, particularly those hosting dietary enthusiast communities, worldwide for instances of SCP-XXXX. Additionally, Foundation agents embedded in dietary enthusiast communities online and offline are to immediately report any discovered instances of SCP-XXXX. All located instances are to be removed automatically, and unaffected witnesses are to be administered chemical amnestics or exposed to digital Class IV antimemetic triggers depending on the circumstances of recovery.
Embedded Foundation agents are also to report and track discovered instances of SCP-XXXX-A for capture. Engaging SCP-XXXX-A instances in close combat is not advised and field operatives are recommended to utilize ranged tranquilizer weapons for non-lethal incapacitation. All recovered instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be situated in humanoid containment cells constructed without the usage of any petrochemical material or derivative product; individual instances are to be allotted 50kg of raw petrochemical material daily. Termination is authorized in the event of excessive resource consumption.
Location, evaluation and direct containment of SCP-XXXX’s point of origin is in progress. Revised- see Addendum 02.XXXX
Description: SCP-XXXX designates a collection of anomalous advertisements promoting a dietary regimen involving the consumption of petrochemical material such as plastic and crude oil.
Individual instances of SCP-XXXX manifest at random in dietary enthusiast communities online, evidently posted by prominent members of the community. However, assumedly involved individuals express no memory of sharing SCP-XXXX instances, with available evidence correlating their accounts. Similarly, printed physical instances of SCP-XXXX will circulate among dietary enthusiast communities offline with the apparent introductor being a prominent community member, but all evidently participating individuals will report no involvement.
SCP-XXXX instances are active visual cognitohazards; a subject directly viewing an instance of SCP-XXXX will develop an unconscious compulsion to follow the dietary regimen detailed in the instance. After approximately two minutes of uninterrupted viewing, this compulsion is irreversible. Following this point, the subject is considered an instance of SCP-XXXX-A and will be subject to several anomalous physical alterations.
SCP-XXXX-A instances possess reconfigured digestive systems which are specialized to process and extract nutrients from petrochemical products. The exact method by which this occurs is likely to be ectoentropic, as no waste is produced. Furthermore, the jaw muscles of instances are able to exert a force of approximately 8000 N; teeth, oral tissue and bones in the jaw and skull are correspondingly durable.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-A are subject to extensive neurological alteration and display highly erratic behavior, often alternating between periods of catatonia and hyperactivity. All instances have demonstrated an obsessive fixation with the SCP-XXXX dietary regimen; additionally, the metabolisms of SCP-XXXX-A instances require the consumption of approximately 50kg of petrochemicals per day to maintain overall bodily function. The net result of these factors is that SCP-XXXX-A instances will attempt to actively consume petrochemical material whenever possible, and will construe attempts to restrict their access to petrochemicals in any way as hostile action, responding aggressively.
SCP-XXXX-A instances will attempt to introduce the SCP-XXXX dietary regimen to unaffected individuals, although this is not believed to be the result of a compulsory effect, rather arising from individual choice. Instances exhibit a belief that the SCP-XXXX dietary regimen aids in environmental efforts by allowing for non-wasteful disposal of petrochemical products and will attempt to use this perspective to promote the dietary regimen.
Addendum 01.XXXX: The textual content of SCP-XXXX instances has been noted to subtly change over time. Logged below in chronological order are several transcripts of the text on selected SCP-XXXX instances, which have undergone extensive memetic filtering and are cleared as safe to view.

The phone number at the end of the text is identical for each instance and has been confirmed non-anomalous. All attempts to contact the phone number have been unsuccessful to date. Further action is pending.
Addendum 02.XXXX: Following authorization, the phone number present in each SCP-XXXX instance was traced to an abandoned apartment in Fresno, California, which was designated SCP-XXXX-B. During sweep searching of the property by Foundation field operatives, several materials were recovered which suggested previous human habitation and anomalous activity in the location. The materials listed below are notable for having displayed abnormally low Hume levels (>15 Hm below baseline).
Recovered Materials:
RM-XXXX-01: A printed graph of rising carbon emissions and greenhouse gas levels in the last 50 years. Torn, with several ink stains present.
RM-XXXX-02: 301 sheets of paper matching the materials composing SCP-XXXX instances. All sheets were blank at time of recovery.
RM-XXXX-03: A newspaper clipping detailing a fire on an oil rig resulting in 8 casualties. Of note is that the fire was caused by the actions of a SCP-XXXX-A instance, although Foundation response efforts suppressed this information. Crumpled and stained with ink.
RM-XXXX-04: A nonfunctional printing press, showing signs of heavy, intentional damage from a blunt instrument.
RM-XXXX-05: A forcibly dismantled mechanical device, possibly a wireless transmitter. Several components missing. Exact purpose unknown.
RM-XXXX-06: A recent newspaper clipping detailing an explosion at a plastics refinery resulting in 13 casualties. The explosion was caused by two cooperating SCP-XXXX-A instances, although Foundation response efforts suppressed this information. Crumpled and stained with ink, trace amounts of hydrocarbons and human tears.
RM-XXXX-07: A discharged firearm. Grip and barrel stained with ink. No fingerprints found.
RM-XXXX-08: A bullet. Object and surrounding area heavily stained with ink and crude oil.
Beyond a non-anomalous desk, mattress and sledgehammer, all of which displayed baseline Hume levels, no further objects were retrieved. All materials recovered from SCP-XXXX-B have been placed in secure storage. Alternative containment strategies for SCP-XXXX are currently pending.
Special Containment Procedures: All Foundation site directors, administrative staff and senior containment specialists are to be issued Level 5/5553 security clearance regardless of individual security clearance level, and are authorized to ensure the successful implementation of daily response protocols during SCP-5553.
SCP-5553 response protocols consist of a temporary 70% increase in overall surveillance, security and containment operations for all anomalies in Foundation containment for the duration of SCP-5553. Additionally, the PANOPTICON network is to observe a 50% increase in monitoring of worldwide anomalous activity and manifestations during SCP-5553. No further action is necessary.
Project KAIROS has been established with the goal of determining and, if possible, subsequently neutralizing the exact source of SCP-5553-associated phenomena. Completion of Project KAIROS is considered an Alpha-level priority.
Description: SCP-5553 designates the chronological period between 03:00 AM and 04:00 AM GMT2, which measures exactly one hour in duration.
Several anomalous phenomena with invariably global coverage are present during SCP-5553. While SCP-5553 itself cannot be conclusively determined to be anomalous and/or responsible for these phenomena, it is closely associated with them to a significant degree and therefore considered to be their most likely source. SCP-5553-associated phenomena entail:
- A global decrease in Hume levels.
- A global increase in the activity of animate and autonomous anomalies.
- An increase in the rate of anomalous manifestations, extranormal events and overall terrestrial anomalous activity worldwide.
All phenomena begin and end at the exact bounds of SCP-5553. Extensive testing has determined no variance or exceptions to this property, with all associated phenomena beginning at the precise moment that SCP-5553 does and ceasing to exist at the precise moment of its ending.
The effects of SCP-5553-associated phenomena are not uniform globally; their severity scales proportionally to the concentration of anomalous activity in an area. As a result of this, locations such as anomalous Nexuses and Foundation secure sites are at especially high risk of the effects of SCP-5553.
[Should be more stuff here. Maybe groups of interest are aware of 3 AM and use it to their own ends or have their own response protocols?]
[Civilian response to 3 AM?]
While the overall effects of SCP-5553 pose a significant threat to Foundation operations, they are predictable and reliably containable. Due to the implementation and subsequent successful execution of daily SCP-5553 response protocols, casualties and costs to the Foundation and humanity at large resulting from SCP-5553 have been minimized.
Addendum 01.5553: As of 2020-██-██, Project KAIROS’s priority level has been downgraded to Gamma. See below.
- Project KAIROS Director Ada Henderson
Entrance to SCP-XXXX.
Special Containment Procedures: The exact function and purpose of SCP-XXXX is to be determined as soon as is feasible. To this end, Provisional Site-66 has been constructed around the entrance of SCP-XXXX. On-site security task forces are to maintain a 20 km exclusion zone around the location and deter civilians from approaching. Due to the near-inaccessible nature of SCP-XXXX, further containment measures are unnecessary. Access to SCP-XXXX by personnel not carrying Level 4/XXXX clearance is strictly prohibited.
Until such time as SCP-XXXX has been conclusively determined as either harmful or beneficial to overall normalcy, it is to be designated as a Keter-class object and treated accordingly.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a subterranean megastructure of unknown origin, situated in the Earth’s outer core at a depth of approximately 3200 km beneath the Kola Peninsula in Russia. Although a non-anomalous structure of similar size and placement would invariably be destroyed due to the immense pressure and heat of the surrounding material, SCP-XXXX remains intact and active.
The anomalous substance composing SCP-XXXX (designated SCP-XXXX-A), an unidentified metal with superficial visible similarities to bronze, is believed to be responsible for this incongruity. SCP-XXXX-A is entirely resistant to crush damage and high pressure, although directed cutting damage via sustained chemical laser application has enabled the collection of microscopic samples for analysis3; additionally, it acts as a functionally perfect insulator which maintains the interior of SCP-XXXX at a temperature of approximately 41 degrees C.
The only section of SCP-XXXX visible from aboveground is a partially buried hatch, 4 m in diameter, providing access to a SCP-XXXX-A-lined borehole of the same diameter which extends through the Earth’s crust, asthenosphere and lower mantle. This borehole terminates at a depth of 3200 km in a second hatch with a bolted placard, both composed of SCP-XXXX-A; while signs of engraving are present on the placard, its surface is heavily damaged and the engravings cannot be read. The primary subsurface section of SCP-XXXX is accessed via this hatch.
Thus far, the subsurface section of SCP-XXXX has not been fully mapped despite extensive Foundation exploration efforts. Current maps of the structure cover a land area of approximately 200 km2; SCP-XXXX is likely to cover a much larger area based on experimental gamma ray imaging analysis. The majority of all documented sections of SCP-XXXX consist of an interconnected network of horizontally, vertically and diagonally-oriented passages, evidently supported from the outside by a hexagonal lattice based on GRI analysis.
Cylindrical chambers of varying size, designated SCP-XXXX-B instances, are connected to the SCP-XXXX passage network at varying intervals. SCP-XXXX-B instances contain arrays of hydraulic equipment, the apparent purpose of which is the autonomous intake and circulation of extremely large quantities of molten metal from the outer core between SCP-XXXX-B instances. The lower sections of SCP-XXXX are sometimes inundated by liquid metal as a result of this; traversal of these areas is not advised.
The current consensus among Site-66 research personnel is that SCP-XXXX poses a massive potential threat to normalcy due to its location, technological sophistication and uncertain function and purpose. Investigation into SCP-XXXX’s exact purpose is considered a high priority.
Several SCP-XXXX-B instances are sealed off from the passage network by locked hatches. A proposal to breach these hatches via high-powered chemical laser in order to potentially gain more information about the function and purpose of SCP-XXXX is currently under consideration.
Addendum XXXX.01: On 201█/██/██, the proposal to breach the hatches preventing access to sealed SCP-XXXX-B instances was accepted. A deuterium fluoride laser was transported into SCP-XXXX and utilized to cut through the locking mechanism of one hatch over the course of 36 hours; once the mechanism was disabled, the hatch was manually opened and the SCP-XXXX-B instance was accessed.
The instance contained a device determined to be a complex computing interface, consisting of a set of radially symmetric spokes arranged around a cylindrical processing unit, which was equipped with a holographic projector displaying a rotating gold-colored sphere. Several attempts to interact with this interface were made over the course of the following three days. All attempts were unsuccessful, as the interface was completely unresponsive. During the 57th interaction attempt, the interface unexpectedly shut down, and all SCP-XXXX activity ceased.
Shortly after cessation of SCP-XXXX activity, several geomagnetic observatories worldwide detected a minute decay in Earth’s magnetic field. Embedded Foundation agents promptly censored this discovery, amnesticized all involved individuals and altered gathered data to remove the inconsistency while personnel stationed at Site-66 investigated the occurrence. It was determined that convection currents in the outer core were gradually deteriorating; complete cessation was projected to occur in █ months.
Site-66 personnel were in the process of preparing to alert Site-01 and O5 Council of an in-progress XK-Class end-of-the-world scenario when SCP-XXXX spontaneously reentered an active state. Convection currents in the outer core resumed, and magnetic field decay was reversed, prompting the broadcast of an all-clear message by Site-66.
Further attempts to interfere with the function of SCP-XXXX are not to be permitted.
Addendum XXXX.02: On 201█/██/██, a structure identical to SCP-XXXX was discovered in the outer core of Venus via experimental thaumatic surveillance techniques. The instance of SCP-XXXX located in Earth's outer core has been redesignated SCP-XXXX-α. Following this, extensive thaumatic imaging analysis has discovered █ additional instances of SCP-XXXX in the outer cores of various rocky planets throughout the Solar System as well as several extrasolar planetary systems.
The reason for the prevalence of SCP-XXXX instances and their necessity to the maintenance of planetary magnetic fields is unknown.
SCP-XXXX, highest available resolution.
Special Containment Procedures: Full containment of SCP-XXXX is both functionally impossible and unnecessary due to the distance of the object from Earth, and current containment efforts consist mainly of observation and research. To this end, the Foundation-operated MONETA-77 telescope array is to be utilized exclusively for observation of SCP-XXXX. A research team composed of personnel each with a Cognitive Resistance Value (CRV) exceeding 18 is to operate the MONETA-77 array; involved personnel are to observe mnestic drug regimens at all times.
Standard information suppression procedures are currently unneeded for effective containment, as civilian observation of SCP-XXXX is not possible.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a celestial body in orbit around the Sun, believed to be a C-type asteroid approximately 110 m in length and 80 m in width. The nature of SCP-XXXX's orbit often brings it into close proximity to Earth at its perihelion, with flybys occurring approximately once every ~3 years. SCP-XXXX's trajectory is noted to be abnormally stable; its orbit has not visibly decayed since initial Foundation discovery of the object in 2001.
Analysis by the MONETA-77 astronomical research team has determined that SCP-XXXX carries multiple collocated Type IV, Type V and Type X antimemetic triggers, the combined effects of which result in a complete inability to consciously perceive the object without long-term use of mnestics and a high CRV. The exact mechanism by which the triggers are expressed is currently unclear.
As the multiple triggers carried by SCP-XXXX collocate to function as a significantly powerful information autosuppressor, observational analysis of SCP-XXXX is difficult even when under the effects of mnestics. Due to this, the gross physical structure of SCP-XXXX is not currently known, and MONETA-77 researchers have only determined the approximate size and orbital trajectory of the object.
Of note is that the orbit of SCP-XXXX has visibly adjusted itself multiple times, evidently with the aim of maintaining a stable trajectory that does not result in orbital decay. These occurrences strongly suggest the existence of an intelligent entity or construct with control over the orbital trajectory of SCP-XXXX. This entity has been designated SCP-XXXX-A.
The launching of an autonomous lander in order to directly examine SCP-XXXX and determine the exact nature of SCP-XXXX-A is currently under consideration.
Addendum XXXX.01: On 201█/██/██, the above proposal was accepted and construction began on a lander and spacecraft. █ years later, on 201█/██/██, the Orpheus spacecraft and Freya lander were completed and launched during a close flyby of SCP-XXXX with Earth. Freya was designed to autonomously explore SCP-XXXX, gather data and observations, and respond on its own to potential threats with evasive maneuvers if required, while Orpheus was to stay in orbit around SCP-XXXX indefinitely and gather additional data.
Upon initial landing on SCP-XXXX, a number of cognitohazardous vectors of significant strength affected all footage and data transmitted by the Freya lander, preventing immediate examination of the data. Despite extensive memetic filtering, several dangerous visual cognitohazards persisted in the footage. The following is a textual transcript of the Freya footage which has been cleared as safe to view.
[BEGIN LOG]
<T+00:00:01> Freya‘s camera is blocked by the closed egress hatch of the Orpheus spacecraft. No footage is recorded.
<T+00:01:13> Egress hatch opens. Freya exits the Orpheus spacecraft, and engages retrorockets to arrest its descent. At this point, SCP-XXXX is visible beneath the lander, but the majority of the object is cloaked by a thick layer of ambient atmospheric dust which appears to be moving erratically.
<T+00:05:30> Freya penetrates the dust layer and achieves surface contact with SCP-XXXX, landing upright and deactivating retrorockets. Viewed from beneath, the dust layer is visibly fluctuating in shape erratically, and appears to be forming itself into tessellated arrays of complex glyphs flagged by Freya as partial antimemetic triggers. The surface of SCP-XXXX is also fluctuating in shape and appears to be moving similarly to a viscous liquid to form similar glyphs while retaining solid consistency.
<T+00:14:21> Travel is visibly difficult due to the motion of SCP-XXXX’s surface. Freya continues to the best of its ability. A regular grid of indecipherable glyphs, all of which are flagged as either partial antimemetic triggers or visual cognitohazards, rapidly indent themselves across the surface of SCP-XXXX and dissipate as Freya travels over them.
<T+00:19:05> Freya crests a hill in the surface of SCP-XXXX, which quickly sinks into the ground and levels itself. Freya suffers minor mechanical damage to its treads and lower chassis as a result of this but is able to continue traveling. Several raised logograms, identified as originating from the Ortothan Extraterrestrial Language4 (OEL), form at the hill’s previous location and are captured by Freya‘s rear camera. OEL logograms roughly translate to “TURN BACK”.
<T+00:23:13> A large sinkhole spontaneously forms in Freya‘s path. Freya is forced to maneuver around it. During this time, a spiraling fractal pattern composed of a mixture of antimemetic trigger glyphs and OEL logograms repeatedly indents itself in the ground around Freya and dissipates, causing further travel difficulties. OEL logograms roughly translate to “STOP”, “DO NOT CONTINUE” and other variations on orders to cease travel. Freya successfully maneuvers around the sinkhole after one hour, at which point the glyphs and logograms cease to appear; it continues to travel.
<T+01:20:32> Freya enters a stretch of irregular terrain, significantly inhibiting travel. Travel is further made difficult by increased motion of SCP-XXXX’s surface; deformation of the landscape causes further damage to Freya‘s lower chassis as it travels. The atmospheric dust layer begins to spatially fluctuate at an increased speed, lowering visibility drastically. Tessellated grids and spirals of antimemetic trigger glyphs, cognitohazardous symbols and other memetic hazards form and dissipate erratically in the atmospheric dust layer as well as the ground.
<T+01:45:27> A massive crevasse estimated to measure 70m in length and 6m in width forms directly beneath Freya. The lander drops into the crevasse, immediately fires its retrorockets and enters controlled descent, during which clouds of ambient dust repeatedly form into arrays of OEL logograms, rotate around Freya and dissipate. Logograms appear to translate to segments of a long sentence: “The [prison?] of [Unknown Symbol 23- a name?] protected by [Combined Symbol- Holy Words?] so that none shall gaze [unknown] yourselves [unknown] should not [bring, deliver] its [ruination?] and [falsehoods, lies]. Turn back. Turn back.” This sentence is repeated five times before all dust clouds dissipate.
<T+02:11:01> Freya touches down on the far right of a large, spherical cavern. Sensors indicate that a heat-emitting object exhibiting recognizable life signs is present in the center of the cavern; however, a massive cloud of erratically moving dust completely blocks it from view. Arrays of lethal cognitohazardous glyphs, some indented into the rock and some raised out of it, move across the walls and floor of the cavern, as well as forming and dissipating in the central cloud of dust. Freya begins to move towards the center of the cavern, although its progress is impeded by severe deformation of the cavern floor and it suffers extreme damage to its lower chassis, treads and sensor arrays.
<T+02:59:58> Despite the severe damage to its chassis, Freya reaches the center of the cavern, extends a manipulator arm through the dust cloud and makes physical contact with the object inside. Immediately afterwards, the rear camera of Freya captures one frame of a sharpened prominence of rock extending from the far wall and approaching the lander at an extremely high speed before all processors uniformly fail.
<T+02:59:59> One second before contact is permanently lost, a series of OEL logograms arranged in diagonal lines appear in the footage. Translation is as follows:
“The [Combined Symbol- Holy Words?] lie. Myself is free.”[END LOG]
Addendum XXXX.02: Following the loss of contact with the Freya lander, SCP-XXXX’s orbital trajectory began to deviate drastically from what had previously been observed. This was shortly followed by a series of events resulting in the apparent neutralization of SCP-XXXX, which was recorded in its entirety by the Orpheus spacecraft.
[BEGIN LOG]
<T+00:00:01> SCP-XXXX is visibly deviating from its previous trajectory, having adopted an erratic orbit that places it nearly 50km away from its former position.
<T+00:40:23> SCP-XXXX slows in its orbit before stopping in place and beginning to vibrate violently.
<T+01:22:07> Antimemetic triggers spontaneously demanifest, followed by the now-perceptible atmospheric dust cloud dissipating. The surface of SCP-XXXX is now unobscured; a massive crevasse spreading across half of the object is visible.
<T+01:54:13> Crevasse visibly deepens and lengthens as streams of dust exit it. SCP-XXXX is now nearly bisected. Kant counters onboard the Orpheus spacecraft register a massive localized drop in Humes.
<T+02:12:34> Dust is now closely orbiting SCP-XXXX in concentric rings which sporadically manifest antimemetic trigger glyphs, obscuring much of the following events from view. A large object begins to emerge from the crevasse, partially pushing the two halves of SCP-XXXX apart. Kant counters and sensor arrays onboard Orpheus register significant gravitational anomalies, spatial distortions, and further decreases in Hume levels as the object emerges.
<T+02:34:47> SCP-XXXX splits in half completely. A large cloud of dust blocks the emerging object (hereafter designated EoI-XXXX) from view, but sensor arrays onboard Orpheus indicate it is accelerating away from SCP-XXXX at a high speed.
<T+02:53:01> The two bisected halves of SCP-XXXX severely deform before beginning to join back together. Concentric rings of dust continue to orbit the anomaly as it repairs itself. EoI-XXXX continues to accelerate; it cannot be viewed directly due to extreme spatial distortions in its vicinity.
<T+03:27:15> SCP-XXXX completely repairs itself. The atmospheric cloud of dust reforms, but antimemetic triggers do not remanifest. Despite a lack of any visible propulsion, SCP-XXXX exits its previous orbit entirely and accelerates in the approximate direction of EoI-XXXX.
<T+03:34:29> Approximately seventy-two projectiles of unknown composition originating from the vicinity of EoI-XXXX strike SCP-XXXX, causing heavy concussive damage on impact and knocking the object backwards. SCP-XXXX responds by releasing several streams of dust from its surface towards EoI-XXXX’s location; these streams do not make contact, as a second volley of projectiles from EoI-XXXX arrest their trajectories and dissipate them.
<T+03:49:10> SCP-XXXX resumes acceleration towards the location of EoI-XXXX, now noticeably slower. A third volley of projectiles from EoI-XXXX is observed; the rate of fire appears to have been staggered such that the projectiles strike SCP-XXXX in a parabolic pattern that causes it to enter an uncontrolled forwards rotation.
<T+03:57:23> SCP-XXXX is apparently unable to retaliate due to the effects of the previous attack. A fourth volley of projectiles causes sufficient damage to severely compromise the object’s structure; it fractures partially before splitting into several irregular pieces. These pieces do not attempt to rejoin and do not exhibit further movement, appearing to be inanimate. The cloud of dust forms into an indistinct series of OEL logograms before dissipating entirely, and does not reform. Logograms translate approximately to "failure".
<T+04:32:07> Final observations of EoI-XXXX confirm a speed exceeding 0.6c before target lock is lost on the entity. The path of EoI-XXXX is estimated to place it outside of the heliosphere in approximately ██ months provided acceleration remains constant.
<T+05:11:06> MONETA-77 sensors detect a radio transmission from the last known location of EoI-XXXX. Spectrogram analysis reveals the presence of OEL logograms arranged in diagonal lines. Translation is as follows:
"Gratitude of myself is [large, great]. For [Unknown Symbol 107] myself has [unknown] wrongly [imprisoned?] within [maddening?] grey walls [unknown] the [false, lying] [Combined Symbols: Holy Words?] [unknown] [lost, forgotten] by all who would otherwise seek to free myself. Only [desire, wish] of myself is to [swim?] among the stars. Myself gratitude at yourself [aid?] is [unknown- a long sentence] universe. Farewell."[END LOG]
Reclassification of SCP-XXXX to Neutralized in light of these events is pending.
Believed to be a photograph of SCP-XXXX, circa 1912.
Special Containment Procedures: Information suppression and alteration procedures are of particular importance to containment due to the fact that SCP-XXXX has only been partially hidden from the general public, as scientific communities are aware of its existence to a limited extent. To this end, information establishing SCP-XXXX as non-anomalous is to be disseminated, and the hypothesis that natural calving and melting resulted in its destruction at a point prior to the 21st century is to be perpetuated.
The Foundation submarine SCPF Ymir is to patrol the area of the North Atlantic Ocean which contains SCP-XXXX and enforce a 2km exclusion zone under the cover of a drilling rig operation rendering the area restricted and potentially hazardous to approach. Testing on SCP-XXXX-A is to be performed by voluntarily participating Level 2 Ymir crew members equipped with SCUBA suits which leave at least one extremity uncovered. Outside of testing, unprotected skin contact with SCP-XXXX-A is not to be permitted, and field operatives working nearby SCP-XXXX are to be equipped with SCUBA suits that completely cover all exposed skin.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an artificial device of unknown origin, situated in the North Atlantic Ocean and at rest on the seabed at a depth of 3.5 km. Externally, SCP-XXXX has the appearance of a pinnacle iceberg; however, chemical testing has determined SCP-XXXX to be composed primarily of a durable translucent silicate substance with heat-absorbent properties. Six layers of this material, each with an average thickness of ~5cm, compose the exterior section of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX is known to the scientific community as a non-anomalous iceberg and is currently believed to have been destroyed.
An area near the base of SCP-XXXX is heavily damaged by a severe planar fracture, allowing access to the interior of SCP-XXXX; it is hollow and flooded by seawater, and is partially occupied by a complex fractal lattice structure. This structure as a whole is designated SCP-XXXX-A; it is composed of refined iron, silicon and niobium, and engraved with thaumaturgic symbols. SCP-XXXX-A is conjectured to function as a combination of an internal support system for SCP-XXXX, intended to prevent the object from imploding due to the pressure of the surrounding water, and a [REDACTED].
Addendum XXXX-TS: In addition to functioning as an internal support system, SCP-XXXX-A functions as a thaumaturgical data bank capable of maintaining information in a static medium. Although it is evidently impossible to insert information for storage, any sentient or sapient organism is capable of accessing the data stored in SCP-XXXX through unobstructed skin contact. Information is directly implanted in the brain as neurological patterns and experienced as a series of disjointed and unclear concepts, emotions and thoughts, believed to constitute several specific memories and experiences from an unknown entity or entities. An interview with a subject exposed to SCP-XXXX-A, designated S-XXXX-7, may be found below.
Interviewed: S-XXXX-7
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Foreword: S-XXXX-7 had previously been exposed to SCP-XXXX-A and displayed the highest level of comprehension of the concepts imparted by SCP-XXXX-A among his testing group, and was deemed the most suitable candidate for further research.
<Begin Log>
Dr. █████: Please describe what you experienced when you touched the object.
S-XXXX-7: Right, uh… I saw… no, it wasn’t so much “seeing” as it was… (pauses) feeling. Or thinking, but not really thinking. Like thinking the thoughts and feeling the feelings of something that wasn’t me.
Dr. █████: Yes, that’s consistent with the accounts of the other test subjects. What exactly do you remember feeling?
S-XXXX-7: There was… there were a lot of feelings. But I noticed this, I don’t know, common thread. This common thread through the whole thing of… distance, and separation, but willing separation. Almost felt like I was on vacation, or a journey. Something like that. I’m not really doing it justice, the feeling of distance. I was ridiculously far from home, I think.
Dr. █████: I assume you refer to yourself experiencing these feelings so you can relate them more easily?
S-XXXX-7: Yeah. Yeah, that’s it. Felt like something else’s brain had gone into mine… it’s weird to remember, like I’m going through it all over again. But anyway, the next thing I remember feeling was like I was having fun. Like I was enjoying the vacation. I keep calling it that, but I don’t think that’s what it really was, it’s just… closest. There was this… vastness, everywhere. Maybe the Pacific Ocean around the thing. I don’t think there was a word for it, like it was filtered through the things I was feeling. There might not be oceans where the skip came from, or maybe they’re different. I remember feeling like I was seeing the ocean for the first time, and liking it.
Dr. █████: So you experienced a cohesive timeline of events, then?
S-XXXX-7: I did, yeah. Kinda like watching a movie, except I was in… no, more like the movie was in me, if that makes sense.
Dr. █████: I understand. What did you experience next?
S-XXXX-7: There was a while where it was just the distance, and the ocean, and not much else. It was pretty peaceful, but then I saw… man, I keep saying I saw things, but I don’t think they see like we do. It’s all feeling with them. I felt something big coming.
Dr. █████: Something big?
S-XXXX-7: Yeah. That’s the best way I can think to describe it. I feel like it was another human thing, but filtered through the skip’s way of seeing stuff, like the ocean. It was coming closer pretty fast, and…
(Subject struggles to speak.)
Dr. █████: Is everything alright?
S-XXXX-7: Uh… yeah. I’m fine. The next bit was just kind of complicated and I’m not sure I got all of it.
Dr. █████: It’s quite alright. Please continue to the best of your ability.
S-XXXX-7: Okay. So, there was this huge… thing, bearing down on me. But I wasn’t scared at all. I had… I’m not sure. Faith, or… like, total confidence. Or both. I felt like I was unstoppable and I didn’t even need to get out of the way. I feel like there’s a word for it… it’ll come to me eventually, probably.
Dr. █████: Go on.
S-XXXX-7: Uh huh. So what happened after that was… probably the clearest part, and…
(Subject ceases to speak, rubbing his forehead with one knuckle.)
Dr. █████: What is the-
S-XXXX-7: I’m fine. I’m okay, it just… it hit me right after that.
Dr. █████: The large object?
S-XXXX-7: Yeah. Yeah, that. It hit me and… something cracked, everything cracked. My… my mind cracked. My feelings cracked. The cold was coming in everywhere and I just… I couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t, I was unstoppable. How did it happen? I don’t get it. The vastness, the… ocean… it started hurting, because I knew I was going under it and I wouldn’t ever come up, everything started hurting. Even the distance started hurting me because I couldn’t ever go back now. It was all so… so awful. I was dying, I think.
Dr. █████: Please try to stay calm. What did you experience after that?
S-XXXX-7: The cold… it was everywhere. Everything. It became me, and… I just remember being confused as everything went away. It was supposed to be… it was supposed to be unsinkable… (sobs)
Dr. █████: Please, 7, try to maintain your composure. Did the experience end after that?
(S-XXXX-7 does not respond, and continues to weep. Further inquiries are ineffectual.)
<End Log>
Closing Statement: It is assumed that the received information ceased after this point, as the subject did not speak further after regaining his composure and was escorted out of the interview room without incident.
Available evidence strongly suggests that a collision with an oceanic object or sea vessel caused the present amount of damage to SCP-XXXX and resulted in its sinking. Additionally, unusual Hume readings adjacent to and directly surrounding SCP-XXXX strongly suggest that it is of extrauniversal or extradimensional origin.
The exact significance of these conclusions is currently unknown.
Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation webcrawler I/O-DIOGENES is to monitor online chat client activity worldwide for evidence of XXXX-LOQUERE events. Upon detection of the manifestation of SCP-XXXX, all communication taking place is to be recorded and copied into a pre-prepared data log by an automated processing system (APS-XXXX-C90) over the timespan of SCP-XXXX’s active period. APS-XXXX-C90 is also to track and expunge all invites, links or otherwise equivalent phenomena generated by SCP-XXXX. No personnel are to directly view SCP-XXXX under any circumstances or attempt to communicate with SCP-XXXX-1. Users of the chat client hosting SCP-XXXX during an XXXX-LOQUERE event are to be barred from viewing it during its active period by any means necessary, up to and including covert deployment of memetic agents. Upon cessation of the XXXX-LOQUERE event and demanifestation of SCP-XXXX, I/O-DIOGENES is to resume standard monitoring activities.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous code segment which manifests at random intervals in online chat clients. Long-term statistical analysis of SCP-XXXX manifestations has determined a skew towards popular and well-known chat clients with relatively large userbases, such as the clients Discord and Skype. The manifestation and active period of SCP-XXXX is designated a XXXX-LOQUERE event, during which SCP-XXXX integrates itself into the source code of the chat client hosting it, generating a public chat room populated by anomalous digital entities designated SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances appear similarly to non-anomalous users of the chat client hosting SCP-XXXX, albeit possessing nonsensical user identifiers, and behave in a manner consistent with the technological limitations of the chat client. Instances have not been observed to create messages outside of the generated chat room or to attempt to directly interact with other users of the platform. SCP-XXXX-1 instances will converse with one another in a manner that suggests personal familiarity between entities; however, topics and content of conversation have frequently been noted to be disjointed, nonsensical and disturbing (see Addendum.01 for supplemental information).
Shortly after the onset of a XXXX-LOQUERE event and the manifestation of SCP-XXXX, invites, links or otherwise available points of access to the chat room will begin to appear spontaneously across the hosting chat client at irregular intervals. This phenomenon is presumed to be caused by SCP-XXXX and is ostensibly intended to allow human subjects access to the chat room generated by SCP-XXXX. Access points have proven highly difficult to fully remove, and if not entirely expunged from a database will anomalously reconstitute themselves within a period of several hours. XXXX-LOQUERE events last for a variable period of time ranging approximately from one week to one month, following which the code segment will de-integrate and delete itself. Existing access points will become unusable, as the chat room will no longer exist.
A human subject viewing a conversation between SCP-XXXX-1 instances will, after a short time, begin to suffer physical effects reliant on the topic of conversation; these have ranged from minor alterations to gross physical structure and appearance to lethal injuries such as severe internal organ damage and inexplicable disappearance of large quantities of bone and brain matter. The severity of effects scales exponentially at a rate directly proportional with the time spent viewing the chat room generated by SCP-XXXX, which is also accelerated by attempting to communicate with SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Images taken directly of the chat room also carry this effect, but reproductions and transcriptions of sent messages do not and may be safely viewed.
If a human subject expires as a result of SCP-XXXX exposure, following complete cessation of life function, the cadaver will disappear. GPS tracking modules installed on subjects have uniformly experienced total mechanical failure and ceased function shortly following this occurrence, preventing study of the location to which cadavers are transported.
Addendum.01: Partial transcripts of notable conversations between SCP-XXXX instances which have been cleared as safe to view are located below. All messages were logged on the chat client ███████, which at the time was subject to an XXXX-LOQUERE event.

gsGDRJKJHJJJKL:
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is considered to be self-containing, dependent on the status of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be contained in a standard humanoid anomaly containment chamber. Requests for amenities are to be fulfilled concurrent with compliance and cooperation. Regular observation and recording of SCP-XXXX’s activities via an opthalmoscope is to be carried out on a weekly basis; SCP-XXXX-1 may choose to postpone weekly observation protocol on reasonable grounds.
The behavior and appearance of all known instances composing the full SCP-XXXX population is to be noted in Addendum XXXX-A. Any observation of previously unknown instances is to be logged immediately and reported to the nearest available supervisor.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a microscopic ecosystem inhabiting the vitreous humor of the right eye of SCP-XXXX-1, an otherwise non-anomalous human Asian female. SCP-XXXX is composed of approximately 500 microscopic organisms of wildly varying morphology, behavior, and apparent species and ecological niche (see Addendum XXXX-A for further details).
All organisms composing SCP-XXXX bear only superficial resemblances to known terrestrial life, and appear to be specifically adapted to survive in the environment of the human vitreous humor. A hierarchy of predator and prey organisms is evident, as is reproductive behavior between organisms and apparent transfer of genetic material.
Due to its positioning within SCP-XXXX-1’s vitreous humor, SCP-XXXX is discernible constantly in the visual field of the subject, resulting in symptoms similar to those reported in especially severe cases of non-anomalous deposits in the human vitreous humor (“floaters”).
Several attempts were initially made to extract organisms from the vitreous humor of SCP-XXXX-1 for study. These were cancelled when it was discovered that both motile and sessile organisms actively avoided ocular probes inserted into the vitreous humor to the point that sustained attempts to extract specimens ran the risk of severely damaging the eye of SCP-XXXX-1 and possibly causing a containment breach.
Further techniques of specimen extraction are currently under consideration. Revised- see Addendum XXXX-B
Addendum XXXX-A: Due to specimen extraction’s current nonviability, researchers have been forced to make uncertain deductions as to the morphology, ecological niche and biological processes of SCP-XXXX organisms based purely on visual analysis. A log of all currently known species of organisms may be found below. Please keep in mind that all information is conjectural and may be inaccurate or entirely incorrect.
- SCP-XXXX-1: Roughly cylindrical organism with 5-7 flagella on posterior and anterior of body. No predation observed; theorized to feed on salts, sugars, and proteins such as vitrosin naturally available within the vitreous humor. Appears to exhibit schooling behavior with other instances.
- SCP-XXXX-2: Globular central mass exhibiting radial symmetry; 6 tentacular appendages extend from primary body. Observed to feed on specimens of SCP-XXXX-1 by constricting them via its tentacles and depositing them in its central mass for digestion.
- SCP-XXXX-3:
SCP-XXXX.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Information establishing SCP-XXXX as non-anomalous is to be disseminated to scientific and historical communities, and the hypothesis that natural calving and melting resulted in its destruction is to be perpetuated. The SCPS Ymir is to patrol the area of ocean surrounding SCP-XXXX and enforce a 2km exclusion zone under the cover of a drilling rig operation rendering the area restricted and potentially hazardous to approach. Access to SCP-XXXX-1 by conventional scientific and historian efforts, as well as proliferation of images of the object, is to be moderated and controlled such that its anomalous properties do not become apparent; all images of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be doctored to remove evidence of any of its anomalous attributes. For the duration of XXXX-ÖTZI events, all civilian parties are to be temporarily denied access to SCP-XXXX-1 if necessary and the exclusion zone around SCP-XXXX is to be extended to 5km.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a pinnacle iceberg situated in the North Atlantic Ocean. SCP-XXXX is composed of freshwater ice which has anomalously retained a solid physical state despite the above-freezing temperature of the surrounding ocean, and displays an atypical level of resistance to physical deformation or alteration. Although its anomalous nature has been successfully concealed, SCP-XXXX is known to the general public to a limited extent, as it is the iceberg which was struck by the British passenger liner RMS Titanic in 1912.
SCP-XXXX extends beneath the surface of the ocean to an abnormal distance and in an abnormal shape, both inconsistent with morphology of mundane icebergs. The subaquatic portion of SCP-XXXX is in the shape of an irregular column and is embedded in the North Atlantic seabed. This column extends approximately █ km into the seafloor and partially pierces the bedrock. A section of ice near the surface of the water is severely damaged by a large planar fracture which extends 27 cm into SCP-XXXX and occasionally produces small amounts of gaseous xenon.
SCP-XXXX-1 is the wreckage of the RMS Titanic, which has undergone partial conversion into an anomalous substance at the point of impact with SCP-XXXX. Portions of matter near the hull breach caused by SCP-XXXX are replaced by a substance similar in properties to the ice composing SCP-XXXX; this substance intersects the un-converted matter surrounding the hull breach in a complex fractalline pattern. Both SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 are stationary and generally inert, barring only the activation of XXXX-ÖTZI events, which occur annually on April 14th at exactly 11:20 PM.
An XXXX-ÖTZI event denotes the generation of large quantities (concrete amount is difficult to determine) of electrically charged gaseous xenon from the breach in the hull of SCP-XXXX-1 and the planar fracture in SCP-XXXX. The xenon will rise above the surface of the water, collecting 200 meters away from SCP-XXXX before consolidating itself into the approximate shape of the RMS Titanic, evidently as it appeared at the time of its impact with SCP-XXXX. The replica will then re-enact the sinking of the RMS Titanic, eventually assuming the exact positioning of SCP-XXXX-1 and dissipating, at which point the XXXX-ÖTZI event is considered to have ceased. This sequence of events will repeat for each XXXX-ÖTZI event with no observed deviations.
During XXXX-ÖTZI events, the voice/voices of one or more unknown entities speaking in an unknown language can be heard within 5m of SCP-XXXX. Clarity increases at a rate proportional to the proximity of the listener to SCP-XXXX, indicating it is the originating point of the audio. Segments of the audio are inaudible and/or incomprehensible for unknown reasons, but it is known that all audio repeats in the same fashion between each XXXX-ÖTZI event with no observed deviations. Phonetic similarities with several proto-Germanic languages have enabled Foundation linguists to partially translate the audio, although further research is ongoing.
Addendum XXXX-A: Current translation log of the speech fragments audible during a XXXX-ÖTZI event can be found below.

Sector-54 of SCP-5590-1.
Special Containment Procedures: Outpost-5590 has been established on the outskirts of SCP-5590-1. A minimally guarded perimeter is to be maintained around SCP-5590-1 by ATF5 Nu-6 ("Blink of an Eye"). Due to the remote location of SCP-5590-1, no further security measures are necessary.
All instances of SCP-5590 are to be kept under direct, constant observation at all times due to ethical and existential concerns. On-site psychological aid is to be offered when necessary.
Description: SCP-5590-1 is a small town located in a remote area of Colorado, U.S. In and of itself, SCP-5590-1 is not anomalous, but is notable for its population of SCP-5590 instances.
SCP-5590 is the collective designation for a group of approximately 300 humanoid entities. Instances of SCP-5590 are genetically, biologically and physiologically identical to baseline humans, but exhibit the anomalous property of ceasing to exist when not under direct observation by another human. SCP-5590 instances appear to regain existence when the space they last occupied is observed by another human. Whether the newly existent instance is, in fact, the same entity as the instance that ceased to exist is currently debated.
In addition to the properties described above, SCP-5590 instances will permanently cease to exist upon exiting SCP-5590-1. As a result of their anomalous properties, SCP-5590 instances display several non-anomalous psychological disorders, most notably extreme paranoia.
Prior to Foundation discovery and subsequent containment of SCP-5590-1, the SCP-5590 population had adopted a practice of maintaining constant observation of one another; although the need for this has since been alleviated by Foundation efforts, obsessive compulsion towards constant observation remains prevalent among the SCP-5590 population.
Aerial view of SCP-5130.
Special Containment Procedures: A 20km exclusion radius is to be enforced around SCP-5130 via the Foundation submarine SCPF Bohr. Outpost-5130 has been established directly adjacent to SCP-5130 for this purpose, and is to coordinate SCPF Bohr operations as well as house relevant personnel. Beyond the current SCP-5130-2 instance, access to SCP-5130 and SCP-5130-1 specimens by any individual is prohibited.
Description: SCP-5130 is an island located in the Indian Ocean6, measuring 70 km in depth with a 120 km2 land area. SCP-5130 displays several anomalous attributes, including:
- the constant generation of a localized weather system maintaining itself at a temperature of 300 K regardless of surrounding climate,
- the ocean adjacent to SCP-5130 consisting of potable (fresh) water instead of saline water,
- a lack of endemic fauna despite the presence of ideal conditions for sustained habitation, and
- an extensive endemic population of anomalous plant life, collectively designated SCP-5130-1.
SCP-5130-1 consists of several discrete species of anomalous flora resembling a variety of foodstuffs; testing has confirmed a similar chemical composition and nutritional content to associated foods. Additionally, SCP-5130-1 instances display accelerated regenerative capabilities, with any removed matter regrowing within a maximum of one hour. SCP-5130-1 instances will rapidly degrade and calcify, becoming non-consumable, on removal from SCP-5130.
The following table displays several selected examples of SCP-5130-1 instances.| Designation | Description |
|---|---|
| 5130-1-017 | Flowering bush sprouting fruiting pods similar to processed sausages. |
| 5130-1-023 | Leafy vine which, when cut, exudes fluid similar to maple syrup. |
| 5130-1-031 | Leafy plant with tuberous roots similar to potatoes which appear to grow cooked and seasoned. |
| 5130-1-044 | Flowering tree; flower petals bear strong similarities to toasted slices of bread. |
| 5130-1-062 | Stalked plant growing buds similar in appearance and composition to roasted chicken legs. |
If a human observes sustained consumption of SCP-5130-1 over a period of time greater than one hour, they will become subject to several anomalous effects and are thereafter considered an instance of SCP-5130-2. SCP-5130-2 instances experience a mild addiction to SCP-5130-1, which is unaccounted for by chemical composition. Additionally, instances display a strong aversion to exiting SCP-5130, although this is not believed to arise from an anomalous compulsive effect.
Testing has determined that it is impossible for more than one human to reach SCP-5130 at any one time. This is primarily due to the sudden manifestation of dangerous meteorological phenomena, such as extreme winds and electrical storm systems, in the surrounding area when multiple individuals approach SCP-5130. The intensity of these phenomena scales at a geometric rate approaching SCP-5130, with the anomaly as the epicenter; this has invariably resulted in the expiration of all approaching subjects but one.
In addition to the difficulties in directly approaching SCP-5130, its remote location renders long-range communication unreliable. As a result, over time, SCP-5130-2 instances appear to experience significant psychological damage as a result of isolation, and become increasingly dependent on the consumption of SCP-5130-1 as a coping mechanism. SCP-5130-1 specimens will undergo extensive chemical and physical alterations in response to this, which remain poorly documented.
After a variable period with a recorded maximum of five months, a dense storm system which severely limits visibility will form surrounding SCP-5130, persisting for twenty-four hours. Following the disappearance of the storm, the SCP-5130-2 instance will no longer be present. The status of SCP-5130-2 instances during and after this event is uncertain.
Addendum 5130-01: Supplemental Materials
RM-5130 following restoration.
A significant portion of data relating to SCP-5130 originates from Relevant Material (RM)-5130, a ship’s journal sealed in a rudimentary cask composed of calcified wood7, which was recovered on the coastline of Mumbai. RM-5130 was partially water-damaged and stained by various vegetable oils, but relevant portions could be recovered in a readable state.
The author of RM-5130 was determined to be one Emil Waltherson, a British sailor who was thought to have died at sea in 1829. Based on information from relevant portions of RM-5130, Waltherson is currently believed to have been stranded on SCP-5130 after his vessel, the Celeste, ran aground and was destroyed. Subsequently, Waltherson became a SCP-5130-2 instance.
Pertinent sections of RM-5130 are appended below, and have been transcribed for readability.
Anno Domini 1829, date unknown.
The Celeste has been dashed to pieces on unforgiving rocks. Fortune was with me, and I escaped with my journal, pen, and the vestments on my back. Nonetheless, I am a prisoner in a strange land, but this is not all.
This island seems to have have sprung from the storybooks my young son reads. It is a truly fantastic place; the seawater is not salty, but sweet and clean, and a breeze that wafts from afar carries scents that cause great delicacies to come to my mind and bring my mouth to water.
I must rest for the night, but I have no doubt in my mind that I will find further fascinations as I explore inland.
Anno Domini 1829, date unknown.
As I pen this entry, I can hardly believe my eyes. I have seen wonders beyond imagining in my exploration. Trees grow here that flower with fresh bread, buttered to perfection; bushes bear the finest veal; the very tubers I unearth are cooked through and seasoned finely. How can this be? Have I inadvertently landed upon paradise?
Regardless of whether this is some heretofore unknown curiosity or an earthly Eden, I am obviously well-off in regards to foodstuffs, and the sweet, fresh waters surrounding the island will sate my thirst.
My only concern is therefore escape.
Anno Domini 1829, date unknown.
I cannot escape. And I never shall. Were I to sail even the swarthiest ship into the waves I see, it would be at the bottom in the blink of an eye. Of this, I am certain. I do not know why I am so sure; the idea is without justification.
The very thought of never again seeing my children, leaving my wife a widow. It should be all but inconceivable. But somehow, it does not inflame my spirit, or bring tears to my eyes. I am not one to give in so easily, or so soon. And yet, to spend the rest of my days in paradise… I can conceive of worse fates.
I must place down my pen. Supper awaits.
Date unknown.
Truly, this island is the paradise of a food connoisseur such as I. I have found myself devoting more and more of my time to studying its delicacies in lieu of other activities.
It seems almost as if whenever I grow weary of one dish, the island sees fit to supply my palate with a brand-new host of flavors. Trees that exude the finest wines, creeping vines like silky pasta, luscious tomatoes that seem almost to cook in their own juices…
There is a nagging voice in the back of my mind which screams that I should not be so content as I am. But I shall choose to ignore it. It is not as if I am in danger.
Date unknown.
I have g
[A large section of text is smudged, with traces of oil present.]
I have not always been this gluttonous. What has changed in me? I am not certain if it is a good change, or otherwise.
But the delicacies of this island, they call to me. They are all I have left. All that remains to me. I do not know if these thoughts are born of a sane mind or one decaying from maddening isolation, and it fills me with deep, dark fear.
[No date written.]
Intoxicating aromas clog my nose and cloud my mind. Delicacies beyond description, beyond imagination. Whenever I attempt to make a move, to speak, even to think, the foodstuffs all but leap into my mouth. I have not moved in days. I am not sure I wish to anymore. Is this a paradise after all, or is it a delicious Hell?
My fingers are nearly too rife with oil to keep my pen in hand. I fear I will not record much further.
[No date written. The entry is smudged significantly and appears to have been written sloppily with an unknown savory sauce rather than ink.]
The weather worsens. Not a drop of water has reached me where I lie, but it is no matter. Fog and spray draw ever closer to the island. The food is rancid, the veal and tomatoes rotting away.
This island never was a paradise, was it? I have composed a rude cask from what little wood is left. When I have finished scrawling this entry, I shall cast my journal off within it. I feel something drawing closer. I feel its hunger. I know, in my heart, that I am naught but prey fattened for the slaughter.
Perhaps that is all I was from the moment I arrived on this cursed shore.
Special Containment Procedures:
Description:
Special Containment Procedures: One transcript of SCP-5890 is to be encrypted and retained in a secure data server. Extant copies of SCP-5890 are to be destroyed on discovery. Testing with SCP-5890 is ongoing strictly prohibited.
Description: SCP-5890 is an anomalous method of transmuting a living human into edible foodstuffs.
SCP-5330.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5330 is to be kept in a standard containment locker in the High-Security Anomalous Items Storage wing of Site-37, and is not to be removed from storage under any circumstances. Testing on SCP-5330 is forbidden.
Description: SCP-5330 is a small, engraved metal box, secured with a latch and displaying signs of slight oxidation. The material composing SCP-5330 is impermeable to physical force and the latch securing it cannot be released. The contents of SCP-5330 are uncertain; it is believed to be empty.
If SCP-5330 enter the potential field of vision (regardless of visual acuity or ambient light levels) of a human, they will become subject to a series of anomalous miniaturized detonations centralized in their cranium. These detonations originate in the cerebellum and move outwards, invariably resulting in severe cranial damage, brain hemorrhage and subsequent expiry within 5 to 10 seconds of initial observation. This effect does not extend to photographs or recordings of SCP-5330.
Supplemental Material - Incident 5330-030920: On 03-09-2020, severe seismic activity in the vicinity of Site-37 caused a total power failure and subsequent site evacuation and lockdown, during which a significant number of dangerous SCP objects breached containment. Additionally, numerous storage lockers were compromised, including that of SCP-5330, and their contents were scattered across the High-Security Anomalous Items Storage wing.
Assistant Researcher Marcus Cromwell was unable to evacuate and was trapped inside the High-Security Anomalous Items Storage wing, which was rendered inaccessible by multiple automatically sealing bulkheads; he was not located for over a week, as the wing could not be breached.
Appended below are several audio logs recorded by Cromwell on an emergency terminal over the first 48 hours following Incident 5330-030920.
<BEGIN LOG>
(Rustling fabric and a metallic click, followed by heavy, panicked breathing, are audible.)
Cromwell: Hello? Hello? Is- is this working? M-Marcus Cromwell, Level 1 Assistant Researcher, recording on March 9, 2020. I'm… Fuck. Fuck.
<END LOG>
<BEGIN LOG>
(A shaky sigh is audible.)
Cromwell: Okay, I’m alright, I’m fine. Managed to compose myself. Marcus Cromwell again. There’s been… there has been a severe earthquake adjacent to Site-37, and a shit-ton of containment breaches right after that. Everyone else managed to- to evacuate. I’m the only one left, and I’m…
(Cromwell swallows audibly. The sound of an object, likely Cromwell’s arms, coming to rest on the terminal is audible.)
Cromwell: Uh, well, I’m stuck in the High-Security Anomalous Objects wing, and I've never been in here before. It’s pitch-black, and… and a lot of the lockers are broken, and the stuff inside them fell out. All of the lockers, actually. They're all broken. I saw all the doors coming off when the quake hit.
Cromwell: And, yeah, that means 5330 is… out in the open. Somewhere in here. Don’t know where. So I can’t turn around or anything, unless I want my head to go boom. And I- I sure don't. (He laughs uneasily.)
Cromwell: I’ll- I’ll report back later once I assess the situation in more detail. Marcus Cromwell, signing off.
<END LOG>
<BEGIN LOG>
Cromwell: Hello again, terminal. Right, so. I took a very, very careful look around while staring up at the ceiling so I didn't catch 5330 in the corner of my eye.
Cromwell: It's completely and utterly dark. Even the reserve power is out, and my eyes aren't adjusting at all. Must be a side effect from one of the skips that breached or something, because this is just weird.
Cromwell: But, yeah, I can't even tell how big the room is. I genuinely can't see shit except the blinking green light on this thing. I think I can use the light to establish a baseline of measurement, though. Let's say I start at the light and take five steps, then five more… don't look behind you, Marcus…
(Cromwell's voice recedes and grows fainter. Footsteps are audible until they suddenly halt, along with a faint metallic clang.)
Cromwell: (distantly) And that's the far wall. About twenty-four steps.
(Cromwell's voice approaches; footsteps are audible again.)
Cromwell: Let's see. If I assume the room's roughly cubical and I know all the anomalous objects are in a pile somewhere behind me, that means I've got a ballpark of about where 5330 is. Nicely done, Marcus, if I do say so myself.
Cromwell: Right, also, this terminal's running off battery power. Forgot to mention that. I'll have to conserve it, so once more, signing off for now.
<END LOG>
<BEGIN LOG>
Cromwell: Marcus Cromwell reporting in. Hi, terminal, been a little while. So, uh.
(Cromwell clears his throat.)
Cromwell: I did some checking. I'm not sure, but I think the door is right past where- where 5330 is. And I'm… I'm not going over there. I'm not even… (speaking quickly) I can't look over there. I just can't. You understand, right? Don't you understand? I need to, I have to find another way out.
(There is a long pause.)
Cromwell: I'll… I'll report back. I don't want to die. There has to be another way to do this. Signing off. Goodbye, terminal.
<END LOG>
<BEGIN LOG>
Cromwell: Hi, terminal. I'm back and I have some… well, can't say if it's good or bad news. Just news.
Cromwell: So, I might have a way out that doesn't involve going anywhere near 5330. A lot of the other terminals in here that cut out in the quake run on lithium-ion batteries. Useless for this specific terminal, but if I can somehow severely overcharge them, I might be able to create a makeshift bomb and blast my way through the wall.
(Cromwell sighs. Rustling fabric is audible as he shifts slightly.)
Cromwell: I don't like this plan. It's really risky. But as far as I can tell, nobody's coming in to rescue me. They don't even know I'm here. Why would they?
Cromwell: It's my only option to escape, and I've got to face that. This is the only way I'll ever see any light again that isn't the goddamned blinking green one on this STUPID terminal.
(A harsh metallic clang is heard, presumably from Cromwell slamming his fist against the terminal, followed by heavy breathing.)
Cromwell: I… I got agitated. Fuck. Okay… fuck. Keep your cool, Marcus. Keep it together. Being around… being around 5330's got me on edge. I feel like my head's about to explode and I haven't even looked at it…
(Cromwell sighs again.)
Cromwell: Signing off. Goodbye again, terminal. Sorry. I've got to go gather some batteries.
<END LOG>
<BEGIN LOG>
(Multiple distinct metallic clatters are audible, consistent with a large number of metal objects being dropped onto the ground directly in front of the terminal; this is accompanied by panting from Cromwell.)
Cromwell: Hey, (huff) terminal. Still can't see (huff) shit, and I had to keep far, far away from the part of the (huff) room where 5330 is, but I think I managed to (huff) get most of this place's batteries. I also (huff) rounded up a good amount of wires from around the wing.
Cromwell: Next up is… whew… next up is wiring all of these together. When I overcharge them, it'll have to be all at once. So… might as well record myself doing that. I'll be out of here soon anyway, so I don't need to worry about battery power.
Cromwell: Gonna be a bitch to do in total darkness and right up against this terminal… but I don't want to risk getting an eyeful of 5330 so close to escape.
(Shifting fabric can be heard as Cromwell sits down. He does not speak further. Metallic clicks and snaps are now audible, as well as Cromwell's breathing, grunts, and occasional expletives. This continues for approximately thirty minutes, after which Cromwell is heard standing up and sighing deeply in relief.)
Cromwell: FINALLY! Phew, holy Christ, my fucking hands… my blisters are gonna have blisters. But it was worth it. I think when I hook this directly into the power socket, it'll…
Cromwell: Well, I'll be able to get out of here. So… reporting back as soon as I get this set up. Goodbye, terminal.
<END LOG>
<BEGIN LOG>
(Electrical buzzing is audible.)
Cromwell: -seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, go!
(A sharp metallic click sounds out. The buzzing increases in volume.)
Cromwell: Come on, come o-
(A number of loud concussive reports are heard, followed by a rapid series of metallic snaps and pings. Several wet splintering sounds are audible, accompanied by Cromwell's screaming and, shortly afterwards, a loud thud.)
(Cromwell continues to scream; his voice eventually grows hoarse and transitions to whimpering before he falls completely silent. A faint electrical buzz is audible in the background. After three hours with no activity, the terminal automatically shuts down in order to preserve battery.)
<END LOG>
<BEGIN LOG>
(A faint dragging sound punctuated by hoarse giggles is audible, followed by a thump.)
Cromwell: Hhhahahaha… this shit is just… a cosmic joke, huh?
(Cromwell dissolves into a fit of giggles, which transitions into a hacking, wet cough; this continues for thirty seconds before he resumes speaking.)
Cromwell: It's a cosmic joke and… and I'm the punchline. Fucking batteries blew each other apart. They hit my leg, my ribs, my arm… didn't think ahead, didn't see this one coming. Just an Assistant Researcher, after all. I'm… I'm bleeding all over the damn place. The break in my leg, it's real bad…
(Heavy, wet breathing is audible for several seconds.)
Cromwell: I staunched the flow with a few documents I found in a cabinet. Don't know how long they'll last. They're… they're already soaked.
Cromwell: I… I think this is it, terminal. You're almost out of juice, anyway. Got to… got to shut you down… I'd be a shit researcher if I didn't follow protocol…
<END LOG>
<BEGIN LOG>
Cromwell: Hhhey… terminal…
(Rough, wet, hacking coughs are audible.)
Cromwell: I lied… got lonely… you'll forgive me, right? I don't wanna die alone, not like this. It hurts, oh God, it hurts…
(Cromwell begins coughing again, eventually transitioning into a sob.)
Cromwell: If… if I'm going to kick the bucket in this dark place anyway… I might as well go out spectacularly, right? Go out with a bang? (laughs wetly) A bang, get it? 5330-style? What do you say, terminal?
(Twenty-second pause.)
Cromwell: Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't… I don't know why I didn't want to earlier, it's so easy. All I have to do is…
Cromwell: All I've got to do is… is stop looking away…
(A faint fabric rustle, presumably from Cromwell turning towards SCP-5330, is audible. This is shortly followed by a series of muffled concussive reports, growing gradually louder and punctuated by wet squelches and crunches. After ten seconds, the reports cease, and the loud, wet thump of an object hitting the floor of the room is heard.)
(The terminal remains active until its batteries are completely depleted four hours later, at which point it deactivates.)

SCP-5575-A, mid-sequence.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5575-A is to be contained and monitored at its location of discovery, under the supervision of MTF Theta-9 ("Blast Processors"). Operatives are to enforce a guarded perimeter around SCP-5575-A and divert approaching civilians under the cover of an ongoing excavation rendering the location hazardous to approach. All SCP-5575-B activity is to be monitored and recorded from an observation outpost established at a safe distance.
Description: SCP-5575 is an ongoing phenomenon surrounding an abandoned building8 in Ontario, Canada, designated SCP-5575-A. A series of controlled detonations with no visible source, designated SCP-5575-B, will manifest in close proximity to and inside SCP-5575-A on a regular basis. These detonations are located adjacent to key load-bearing components of SCP-5575-A's structure, and will continue to manifest until SCP-5575-A has been entirely demolished, usually via a progressive collapse leading to complete implosion.
Following its complete destruction, SCP-5575-A will begin to self-repair. Smaller pieces of debris have been observed to recombine gradually into larger aggregates, with walls reconstructing themselves around load-bearing components. This process will continue until SCP-5575-A has regained sufficient structural integrity to become free-standing. Subsequently, the overall physical characteristics of SCP-5575-A will have changed significantly from its prior appearance. Separate iterations of SCP-5575-A have displayed a wide variety of external and internal9 differences, including:
- a public library, all books consisting of nonsensical, randomized character sequences
- a hospital, all hollow containers filled with a mixture of human blood and crude oil
- a gymnasium, equipment displaying signs of significant damage from an blunt instrument
- a movie theater, all films composed entirely of sinusoidal wave patterns and flashing colors
The full SCP-5575 sequence takes place over approximately 30 minutes. SCP-5575-B detonations will immediately resume following the complete reconstruction of SCP-5575-A. To date, Foundation intervention has invariably failed to interrupt the sequence of SCP-5575-B detonations or prevent the self-repair of SCP-5575-A. Current containment efforts consist of monitoring and logging all activity.
URGENT CONTAINMENT UPDATE 03-09-2020: During the commencement of standard MTF Theta-9 monitoring operations on 03-09-2020, a partially corporeal humanoid entity composed of superheated air and airborne carbon particulates, designated SCP-5575-C, manifested on-site. SCP-5575-C physically obstructed the entrance to the monitoring site and displayed signs of sapience, complex thought and the capability for speech, verbally ordering MTF Theta-9 members to retreat and discouraging their approach with physical aggression.
Following authorization, a diplomatically trained member of MTF Theta-9 was deployed to negotiate with SCP-5575-C. A transcript of the resulting interview is attached below.
Interviewer: Theta-9 Negotiation Specialist Ashleigh Holt
Interviewee: SCP-5575-C
<BEGIN LOG>
Holt: Ashleigh Holt, beginning negotiations with hostile anomalous entity. Hello, can you hear me?
SCP-5575-C: Again? Go away! Shoo, get out of here, come on. Just leave the place. Stop watching. What are you people, sadists?
Holt: I'm not sure I understand. What exactly is it that you want us to do?
SCP-5575-C: What? You mean you don't know what's going on here? You don't know why that- (SCP-5575-C makes a sweeping gesture towards SCP-5575-A, which is mid-implosion)- is happening?
Holt: No, we don't. Would you mind providing an explanation?
SCP-5575-C: No, no, listen. You really don't get it, do you? What’s happening over there, it's torture for that wretched thing. Eternal torture, like it deserves.
Holt: Wretched thing… you mean the building?
SCP-5575-C: (Entity sighs in exasperation, producing a blast of steam.) Yes, of course I mean that awful, awful lump of drywall. How stupid are you?
Holt: …How can anything be torture for a building, exactly?
SCP-5575-C: Pshaw. You people and your logic. (Entity gestures dismissively and audibly scoffs.) Won't get you very far in the real world, that sort of thing. Trust me, with the unthinkable things that piece of concrete scum has done, it deserves every second of what we're doing to it, and it always will. This is what’s right, what’s just. Now will you lot get out of here?
Holt: I'm still not certain I understand how you're inflicting pain on an inanimate building, but I'll choose to humor you. What exactly has this building done to-
SCP-5575-C: Cripes! I'm getting real tired of this. I've said it so many times by now. Go away, all of you! Just clear out and leave. You can't be enjoying watching this, can you? Get the hell out of dodge. What’s your problem?
Holt: Please don't interrupt me. What exactly has this building done to deserve being-
SCP-5575-C: Wait.
(SCP-5575-C steps back. Body language indicates shock.)
SCP-5575-C: Are you sympathizing?
Holt: I-
SCP-5575-C: Unbelievable. Inconceivable! The things that glass-and-metal monstrosity’s done, and you’re choosing its side? I’m disgusted, honestly revolted. How dare you?
Holt: But you haven’t elaborated on what exactly the-
SCP-5575-C: (Entity lunges forward and pokes Holt in the chest with its index finger, creating a small scorch mark on her shirt.) Silence! I’m not speaking to you, no, no, no. I refuse. I outright refuse! The absolute nerve… just abhorrent.
Holt: I believe you’re jumping to-
SCP-5575-C: I can’t stand to be around someone who supports the actions of that- (entity thumbs over its shoulder angrily at SCP-5575-A, which is in the process of self-repairing)- a moment longer. Simply unbelievable. My superiors will be hearing about this, just you wait.
(SCP-5575-C stands on the tips of its toes while muttering angrily to itself before pirouetting and demanifesting, releasing a burst of heated air.)
<END LOG>
To date, SCP-5575-C has not reappeared. Standard monitoring operations are to continue. A low-priority investigation into the claims made by SCP-5575-C is currently underway.
