Special Containment Procedures: PENDING
Description: SCP-0026 is an as-of-yet unidentified female human in her mid-20s that is able to teleport to various significant locations. These locations must meet a certain criteria in order to be eligible for a potential manifestation event, with the criteria being but not limited to;
- having anomalous properties
- having a history of anomalous occurrences
- containing, storing, and/or surrounding anomalous items, lifeforms, locations, or events
- having a deep history regarding the Foundation and its involvement in the anomalous world.
When SCP-0026 manifests in one of these locations (which are commonly Foundation sites), she will usually be dressed in clothes similar to those worn by Foundation staff, although she will not bear any official documentation such as ID badges, employee records, or other various staff paraphernalia.
SCP-0026 has a series of minor anomalies regarding their perception by other staff members. SCP-0026's identifying traits are unable to be plugged into Foundation security programs, meaning that despite SCP-0026's many manifestations, identification via avenues such as facial recognition software, DNA testing, retinal scans, and fingerprint analysis are all rendered useless. SCP-0026 also appears to exude a passive antimemetic effect that causes humans to almost wholly disregard them, though this effect can be shattered through socially condemnable or publicly disruptive acts, such as getting caught stealing or viewed running down a hallway. This passive effect can also be avoided through keeping focus on SCP-0026 in her sightings and records. SCP-0026 also has varied knowledge of the Foundation as well as information regarding various anomalies in containment, login information to access the database, and a vague understanding of Foundation operations and functions as a whole. How SCP-0026 is privy to this information is currently unknown.
Whenever SCP-0026 manifests, she will immediately attempt to find a specific anomaly and will use it to either severely influence, maim, or kill herself. If SCP-0026 interacts with a non-lethal anomaly, she will demanifest after an unspecified amount of time interacting with it1. If SCP-0026 is killed by an anomaly, her corpse and/or remains will not demanifest, instead losing their antimemetic properties and begin to rot at an average rate (unless the remains are consumed and/or assimilated by the anomaly in question).
SCP-0026 wholly believes that the interactions she is having in our reality is a part of a complex interwoven dream.
Addendum 0026.1: Summarized List of Interactions2
| Anomaly Involved | Date of Interaction | Description of Events | State of Human Remains |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCP-1128 | 2.4.1998 | SCP-0026 manifested within Site-34's secure locker facility. After wandering the halls for various hours, they get their bearings on the layout of the facility. They then make an effort navigating to the locker that holds the only contained copy of SCP-1128's description. After attempting to input a passcode and failing twice, SCP-0026 takes a deep breath before attempting a final time. The system override is successful and they attain the description. After quickly reading through it, they place it back in the locker, closing the door. They then begin running through the facility until they discover a bathroom unit. They enter and are not seen exiting. | Partial |
| SCP-2747 | c. March 2006 | There is a significant lack of information regarding this incident, with the main instigator being that on 4 March 2006, Researcher Dennis O'Hara was recorded logging into the database to view records for SCP-2747. Despite the login data, Mr. O'Hara was not seen in the Department of Analytics due to calling in sick. As there is no footage or proof of SCP-0026 manifesting in or nearby the local site, Foundation researchers have hypothesized that SCP-0026 created a stable anafabula after accessing SCP-2747's documentation, thus annihilating themselves from this reality. This hypothesis as of yet has not been disproven. | None |
| SCP-2030 | c. November 2010 | SCP-0026's exact manifestation was not recorded. Dr. Madison Conworth discovered SCP-0026 in the Site-64 archives, sitting on the floor in front of a television connected to a DVD player. SCP-0026 was surrounded by archived box sets of SCP-2030 and had evidently been watching for days. As Dr. Conworth began calling for security, SCP-0026 demanifested. | Bodily waste |
| SCP-096 | 22.3.2007 | SCP-0026 manifested inside SCP-096's airtight cell. Heat and pressure sensors were tripped and an alert was sent to Site-19's containment staff. As a Class-4 containment breach was enacted, SCP-0026 was heard through audio recordings to be breathing heavily while simultaneously attempting to stay quiet. After approximately 5 minutes, SCP-0062 is heard screaming before supposedly viewing 096's face, becoming an instance of SCP-096-1, and being swiftly killed and consumed. | None3 |
| SCP-6XXX | 14.10.2018 | SCP-0026 manifested on Deck 5 of Observation Tower Charlie. Subject was seen approaching an observation deck, surveying SCP-6XXX as a whole. Subject is seen suffering a panic-induced episode, doubling over and sobbing. Subject then pitches themselves over the railing, plummeting into the depths of the cavern. | Inconclusive4 |
| SCP-970 | 28.2.2002 | SCP-0026 manifested in front of SCP-970-22, an instance located in the west wing of the Dennen's Office Building in New Hampshire. SCP-0026 then entered the anomaly. SCP-0026 was found deceased in the 376th iteration. Cause of death is unknown. | Recovered via drone |
| SCP-3183 | august | scp-0026 entered a hollow city made of itself. | lost |
Addendum 0026.2: Interview
On 2 September 2025, SCP-835 was seen entering an aggravated state, expelling massive amounts of waste into the surrounding waters. As Provisional Site-835 was undergoing breach protocol, SCP-0026 manifested amongst the chaos and was spotted attempting to hijack a submersible, with their intent likely being to make contact with SCP-835. As the subject was in the process of disengaging the submersible, they were apprehended by several members of MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") before being evacuated from Site-835 with the rest of the site's staff. After quarantine and various tests, Dr. Maya Saunders was sent into an interrogation chamber holding SCP-0026, with the interview being monitored by O5-4.
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Saunders: Hello, SCP-0026.
SCP-0026: (Nervously) Y-you have to let me out. You have to get me back to it. Right now.
Dr. Saunders: Well, that's the thing, really. We're here to ask you some questions regarding your interf-
SCP-0026: (Agitated, their voice raising) No, no, NO! You don't understand. I need to go back there, I have to let it grab me, I need to let it rip me to shreds, I need for it to get it over with so I can fucking get back - I need to get it done right now, if I don't then the more scared I'll be, I need to do it now, like pulling off a band-aid, I have to get it done with so the pain isn't as ba-
Dr. Saunders: We know what you do when you get your hands on our artifacts, SCP-0026.
(Silence.)
(Dr. Saunders pulls out a file. She opens it on the table between them and pulls out a series of photographs, laying them all out in front of both her and SCP-0026. They are all photographs of SCP-0026 over the years in various Sites, cordoned-off zones, and containment chambers, with some of the photographs dating back to the late 50s.)
(Dr. Saunders removes her glasses and pinches the bridge of her nose. She sighs.)
Dr. Saunders: You know, its taken me years to collect all of this data regarding your appearances. It was genuinely difficult, having a small team of 4 of us manually scanning through everything just to catch a glimpse of your face in the footage. I never actually thought I'd see the day where you'd be sitting right before me like this. After decades of entering our facilities and taking advantage of breaches and passwords and loopholes in the system… I'm still surprised about how you haven't aged.
(SCP-0026 is silent, staring at the photos before them.)
SCP-0026: (Mumbles something under their breath)
Dr. Saunders: I'm sorry, what was that?
SCP-0026: Time actually passes for all of you here?
Dr. Saunders: Well, yes. Of course it would. How else does time flow?
(SCP-0026 stares at the photographs once more.)
SCP-0026: I don't know. Dreams aren't supposed to work like this.
Dr. Saunders: That's something I've actually been meaning to ask you. We've gathered many references and circumstances regarding your appearances and in some, you mention dreams and dreaming. Do you believe that you are dreaming, SCP-0026?
SCP-0026: Yes. I know that I am dreaming.
Dr. Saunders: How so? I'd like to think that if I knew I were stuck in a dream, I'd be able to wake up any time, or at the very least attempt to have some fun.
SCP-0026: That's the problem. This isn't my dream.
Dr. Saunders: Why do you think that?
SCP-0026: If I were dreaming, I would have a sense of control. If this was my dream and my dream alone then I would be able to twist and churn and make it up as I go along. I could give myself superpowers, I could fly, I could wake myself up whenever I would like. But this is not my dream. I have no control over any of it.
SCP-0026: If this were my dream, and my dream alone, then I would be able to just… dream of something else. I wouldn't have to go through the cycle of just starting in a new place before throwing myself into the meat grinder.
Dr. Saunders: Do you know who else's dream this is?
SCP-0026: Yes.
(SCP-0026 then goes completely silent and does not respond to further prompting.)

Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-0026, also known as "the Gestalt", is a sapient collected thoughtform construct that is partially intersecting our reality as well as the concept of anomalies, the results of those anomalies, and, mainly, the Foundation as a whole. SCP-0026 consists of various vectors of information produced by those that are pataphysically above us in the stacked nature of both reality and its fictional (as well as perceived fictional) constructs.5
While mostly harmless, SCP-0026 is responsible for various shifts in reality both documented and undocumented by the Foundation. This is due to specific parts of SCP-0026 becoming common enough in the upper layers of reality that they produce more and more concepts that build and thrive off of each other. This narrative buildup is responsible for the fluidity and incongruencies of our standard reality while also accounting for stable concepts residing in our timeline (i.e. SCP-173, SCP-231, SCP-682). These concepts have consistently registered higher hume levels than compared to other anomalies, thus supporting the narrative anchor hypothesis proposed by Dr. Cynthia Fern.
SCP-0026 is not to be confused with SCP-001, as SCP-001 regards the creators of SCP-0026. It appears that due to the exponential growth of SCP-001 instances, there is a larger amount of narrative structures being produced, which allows for partial narrative consistency within the Foundation's baseline universe. It is currently hypothesized that due to the rising number of SCP-001 instances, their collective concepts were eventually able to detach themselves from SCP-001 and thrive of its own accord.
Addedum 0026.3: History and Discovery
SCP-0026 was officially discovered in its current iteration on 27 December 1952 when a human being residing in the upper layers of reality was pulled through the Gestalt into one of the sublayers it intersected. This resulted in the subject materializing in a Foundation facility that contained various anomalies. The subject quickly attempted to break into an unguarded cell and succeeded, resulting in their death. The remains were collected and tested and no abnormalities were found.
Months later, the subject was spotted once more, and over time the sightings increased exponentially, causing the Foundation to give her a designated SCP status. Despite the commonality of manifestations, the subject was able to avoid capture due to both the locations in which they manifested and via a passive memetic effect. SCP-0026-A was also able to collect valuable information regarding access codes, email logins, and other highly sensitive information surrounding Foundation containment protocol and staff correspondences, which helped her navigate Foundation facilities and data networks. After being caught, SCP-0026-A was properly interviewed and revealed to be an inactive instance of SCP-001, which explained their previous insight into the inner workings of Foundation projects. Due to the multiple discoveries regarding SCP-0026-A's true nature, as well as how she accessed our reality through SCP-0026, she was given a -A status with Foundation researchers now turning their attention to the main anomaly.
Addendum 0026.4: Interview (cont'd)
(The previous portion of this file has been removed for brevity.)
[CONTINUE LOG]
Dr. Saunders: Do you know who else's dream this is?
SCP-0026-A: Yes.
Dr. Saunders: Would you like to tell me?
SCP-0026-A: You already know, though. If not you, then the ones at the top. It is a gestalt, a story made up of other stories, each story a cell, building up on top of each other until it creates its own electrified mind, and if you're not careful when separating the parts you only see the whole, you become a part of the whole, you get dragged into it and then you are shoved into the inner subconscious of it, dragged in and torn into little tiny parts. I don't- it's-
(SCP-0026-A sighs and slumps, appearing exhausted. They lean their elbows onto the table in front of them and place their face in their hands.)
SCP-0026-A: I come back almost every night. It starts as this tugging. I'm laying in my bed, or on my couch, or on the floor, and I start drifting off to sleep. Then, it feels like something grabs my ankle, or my elbow, and I'm pulled downwards, through the bed, and then there's just the usual dark you see when you're asleep. Then I resurface, I come to, a rubber band snapping back into place. Suddenly I am just standing in a facility, or in a hall, different every single time. As I catch my bearings, all I feel is an urge - something primal, like hunger or rage. It points me to where I need to go, and usually its one I recognize. I know that I need to do it in order to break the dream, in order to wake up again. Like when you're falling, but you wake up just before hitting the ground. I need to do that in order to wake up, so I try as quickly as possible to rip the band-aid off, do it in a single go. Watch the snow dance onscreen, walk into a fractal building until I die of starvation, stare at the painting and step off the curb, all of it.
Dr. Saunders: I… So your reasoning behind tampering with our artifacts is to wake yourself up?
SCP-0026-A: Yes, its usually the quickest way. I have tried other methods but the quickest is to feed into what the gestalt wants.
Dr. Saunders: That is the second time you've mentioned that phrase. What does it mean?
SCP-0026-A: You said this has been decades for you, right? For me, its been months, maybe almost a year. I ended up falling down this rabbit hole of document after document, eating all of it up, and then all of a sudden it began leaking into my dreams. The dreams became more vivid, though, in wild technicolor and in sense and taste and…
(SCP-0026-A pauses.)
SCP-0026-A: They all wrote something into existence, something bigger than themselves. An entire conscious mind, a reality that thinks and feels just by existing. There's enough groundwork laid down for it to grow, the seeds were cultivated, and… and now its… I…
(The intercom buzzes.)
O5-4: Thank you for your work, Dr. Saunders. I do believe we've gotten enough information from this interview. Please vacate the chamber and you will be debriefed.
(Dr. Saunders sighs and stands up before collecting the photos from the table. She begins walking towards the door. SCP-0026-A stares at the table.)
O5-4: Ms. Saunders, thank you for your work.
[END LOG]
Dr. Saunders was subsequently debriefed and amnesticized after her interview with SCP-0026-A.
Addendum 0024.5: The Narrative Anchor Hypothesis
From Dr. Cynthia Fern's seminar regarding the narrative stack and fiction in regards to subrealities.
"…it would make sense that these are in a sense, consistent points in our baseline reality. I say this because, in some sense, most, if not every Foundation employee knows about certain anomalies.
Now, don't be shy. You will not be demoted or fired or hunted here. We all know this as an unspoken truth - rumors can spread fast, and sometimes through gossip you will hear about something you shouldn't know.
Everyone knows about 173 - to some extent, even the janitorial staff understand it and its properties. In the cafeteria, there's huddled bunches of scientists whispering about the Montauk procedure, there's MTF agents nonchalantly telling new hires about the horrors of the giant lizard we soak in acid. We can all admit it; word gets around.
Now, what if we applied this common knowledge to the narrative stack? If these concepts are a general knowledge to us, how does that register in the various upper realities? Do they read our thoughts? Do they see us walking to the breakroom? Can they listen in on our conversations?
These specifics do not matter, but what is common is that there are other conscious beings that are able to watch and register our reality, which also insinuates that they digest roughly the same amounts of information that we do. If those in the upper echelons of reality are able to manipulate and define our actions while simultaneously watching them, it means that, by default, they will place meaning and significance on the same concepts we do. It could be because the significance to us registers up the stack, or it could be vise versa, with their perceived significance causing our reality to respond in the same way.
If we tie this into SCP-001, that means that these specific concepts are anchors due to the significance placed onto them by either us staff, those above us, or perhaps both. With these narrative anchors comes countless jumping-off points, both building on top of these stable anchors while also creating new ones in the process.
In doing so, this proposes a more significant idea; that the Foundation itself has become its own anchor, something that is attached conceptually to us as employees, and to the instances of SCP-001 that helped craft it in the first place.
There is a very high chance that SCP-001 created something much larger than itself, and that their creation, now fueled by hundreds and thousands of minds, has begun to function of its own account.
That is not to say that our reality or our existence is merely a cloud floating in-between realities, but instead the answer to a question that we have been asking for years.
The question of how we could potentially climb the narrative stack."

Special Containment Procedures (as of 5 October 2025): Due to its distance from any dangerous anomalies, SCP-0026 is to remain at Site-17 in Basement Level 3 until further notice. SCP-0026 is to be kept in a padded humanoid containment chamber with cameras constantly monitoring her, as well as 2 guards stationed outside of her cell at all hours. Guards monitoring SCP-0026 are to have gone through mnestic training or have a natural resistance to L0-L3 antimemetic phenomenon. When handling SCP-0026, guards are to be preemptively stripped of weaponry and sharp objects.
If SCP-0026 breaches her cell, Basement Levels 1-5 are to be locked down and searched until SCP-0026 or her remains have been recovered. Termination of SCP-0026 is to be considered a last resort and is not to be attempted unless clearance is given by L4 personnel or higher. In the event that either no traces of SCP-0026 have been found, or her corpse has been recovered, all Foundation properties are to be alerted that SCP-0026 is uncontained. If SCP-0026 is uncontained, various personnel in sites worldwide are to be administered Class-W amnestics and placed into surveillance teams to manually scrub through Foundation security feeds in order to search for and identify SCP-0026. If personnel L3 or under are discovered explicitly interacting with SCP-0026, they are to be interviewed and amnesticized under standard information breach protocol.
If SCP-0026's remains are recovered, they are to be submitted to the ███████████ Department for extensive analysis. Whole remains are to be kept in airtight cold storage units while partial remains are to be kept in on-site research labs for easy access. Freely tampering with SCP-0026's remains without supervision and/or clearance will result in demotion.
Because of the likelihood of SCP-0026 causing mass containment breaches (along with the high likelihood of causing cascading breach events), the study, transcription, and containment efforts of SCP-0026 is to be overviewed by O5-4.
Description: SCP-0026 is an as-of-yet unidentified female human in her mid-20s that is able to manifest in or nearby various locations. These locations must meet a certain criteria in order to be eligible for a potential manifestation event, with the criteria being but not limited to;
- having a history of anomalous occurrences.
- being the potential location where an anomalous occurrence will swiftly occur.
- containing, storing, and/or within the vicinity of anomalous items, lifeforms, locations, or events.
- containing, storing, and/or within the vicinity of dangerous, malicious, and/or deadly anomalies.
- having a deep history regarding the Foundation and its involvement in the anomalous world.
When SCP-0026 manifests in one of these locations (which are most commonly Foundation sites), she will usually be dressed in clothes similar to those worn by Foundation staff, although she will not bear any official documentation such as ID badges, employee records, or other various staff paraphernalia.
SCP-0026 has a series of minor anomalies regarding her perception by both humans and public record. SCP-0026's identifying traits are unable to be plugged into Foundation security programs, meaning that despite SCP-0026's many manifestations, identification via avenues such as facial recognition software, DNA testing, retinal scans, and fingerprint analysis are all rendered useless. SCP-0026's manifestations also fail to trigger Foundation security protocol regarding unauthorized persons, as well as failing to trigger local Kant counters. SCP-0026 also lacks identity, with the scant information gained about her failing to match up with public records of any kind.
SCP-0026 exhudes a passive antimemetic effect that causes humans to almost wholly disregard her, though this effect can be shattered through socially condemnable or publicly disruptive acts, such as being caught stealing or viewed panicking in a calm setting. This passive effect can also be avoided through Class-W mnestics and/or keeping a constant focus on SCP-0026. Despite these weak points, SCP-0026 has been able to surreptitiously navigate through facilities, mostly being identified in the aftermath of key incidents.
SCP-0026 has varied knowledge of the Foundation as well as vague information regarding various anomalies in containment, login information to the SCiPNET database, and a vague understanding of Foundation operations and functions as a whole. How SCP-0026 is privy to this information is currently unknown under investigation under study for potential Foundation usage.
Whenever SCP-0026 manifests, she will immediately attempt to find a specific anomaly and will use it to either severely influence, maim, or kill herself. If SCP-0026 interacts with a non-lethal anomaly, she will demanifest after an unspecified amount of time interacting with it6. If SCP-0026 is killed by an anomaly, her corpse and/or remains will not demanifest, instead losing their antimemetic properties and decaying at an average rate (unless the remains are consumed and/or assimilated by the anomaly in question).
Through behavioral studies, it appears that SCP-0026 has a sense of continuous detachment from reality (See Addendums 0026.2 and 0026.3).
Addendum 0026.1: Summarized List of Interactions7
| Anomaly Involved | Date of Interaction | Description of Events | State of Human Remains |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCP-1128 | 2.4.1998 | SCP-0026 manifested within Site-34's secure locker facility. Subject appeared exhausted and slumped as she walked between the rows of storage units. After wandering the halls for various hours, subject seemed to understand the basic layout of the facility. SCP-0026 then made an effort navigating to the locker that held the only contained copy of SCP-1128's description. After attempting to input an a passcode and failing twice, SCP-0026 paused before attempting a final time. Her system override was successful and she attained the description. After quickly reading through it, SCP-0026 placed it back in the locker, closing the door. SCP-0026 can then be seen running through the facility until she discovered a bathroom unit. She entered and was not seen exiting. | Trace samples |
| SCP-970 | 28.2.2002 | SCP-0026 manifested in front of the entrance to SCP-970-22, an instance located in the west wing of the Dennen's Office Building in New Hampshire. SCP-0026 shook her head violently and pinched her arm a few times. Subject then entered the anomaly. As it was not guarded at the time, her manifestation was not accounted for until several hours had passed. Upon retrieval efforts, SCP-0026 was found deceased in the 376th iteration. Cause of death is unknown. | Intact |
| SCP-2747 | c. March 2006 | There is a significant lack of information regarding this incident, with the main instigator being that on 4 March 2006, Researcher Dennis O'Hara was recorded accessing the database to view records for SCP-2747. Despite the login data, Mr. O'Hara was not in the Department of Analytics due to calling out sick. As there is no footage or proof of SCP-0026 manifesting in or nearby the local site, Foundation researchers have hypothesized that SCP-0026 created a stable anafabula after accessing SCP-2747's documentation, thus annihilating herself from this reality. This hypothesis has yet to be disproved. | None |
| SCP-3183 | august | scp-0026 entered a hollow city made of itself. | lost |
| SCP-513 | 22.3.2007 | SCP-0026 manifested in Site-12 before making her way down to one of the office floors. SCP-0026 then accesses a terminal containing the file for SCP-513. Subject then entered a nearby breakroom and quietly stole Dr. Frank Peravai's L3 keycard as he was reading. Subject then accessed SCP-513's chamber, and paused for a moment before pushing into the gelatin block to retrieve the object. A containment breach was then enacted due to SCP-0026's passive effect faltering, allowing her to be perceived by those monitoring surveillance. Before she could be seized, SCP-0026 retrieved and rang SCP-513, exposing 17 members of staff to its effects. Before she could be apprehended, SCP-0026 doubled over in pain, with various bruises appearing over portions of her arms and legs before demanifesting. | None |
| SCP-5034 | 11.11.2010 | SCP-0026 manifested within 20 feet of the nearest antique store currently holding SCP-5034. Subject loitered for approximately 30 minutes before entering the location. After reluctantly attempting to pick up a marble from the bowl8, SCP-0026 attempted to retrieve multiple marbles at once. | Approx. 5.2 litres of blood9 |
| SCP-4807 | 14.10.2018 | Despite not manifesting within Foundation jurisdiction, SCP-0026's corpse was spotted in an alleyway in Frascati, Italy. After being taken in by authorities, SCP-0026's death was ascribed to a mugging gone wrong, with her death occurring mere hours before discovery. Foundation mathematical models pointed to the murder as matching the criteria of an SCP-4807 event. | Intact |
Addendum 0026.2: Interview
On 2 September 2025, SCP-835 was seen entering an aggravated state, expelling massive amounts of waste into the surrounding waters. As Provisional Site-835 was undergoing breach protocol, SCP-0026 manifested amongst the chaos and was spotted attempting to hijack a submersible, with her intent likely being to make contact with SCP-835. As the subject was in the process of disengaging the submersible, she was apprehended by several members of MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") before being evacuated from Site-835 with the rest of the site staff. After quarantine and various medical tests, Dr. Maya Saunders was sent to interview SCP-0026, under the monitoring of O5-4.
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Saunders: Hello, SCP-0026.
SCP-0026: Y-you have to let me out. You have to get me back to it. Right now.
Dr. Saunders: Well, that's it, really. We're here to ask you some questions regarding your interf-
SCP-0026: No, no, NO! You don't understand. I need to go back there, I have to let it grab me, I need to let it rip me to shreds, I need for it to get it over with so I can fucking get back to the surfa-
Dr. Saunders: Well, I know you're in a rush to leave but at the very least I'd like to ask about why you've be-
SCP-0026: No, you really don't get it, I need to get it done right now, if I don't then the more scared I'll be. I need to do it now, like pulling off a band-aid, I have to get it done with so the pain isn't as ba-
Dr. Saunders: We already know what you do when you get your hands on our artifacts, SCP-0026.
(Silence.)
(Dr. Saunders pulls out a file. She opens it on the table between them and pulls out a series of photographs, laying them all out in front of both her and SCP-0026. They are all photographs of SCP-0026 over the years in various Sites, cordoned-off zones, and containment chambers, with some of the photographs dating back to the late 50s.)
(Dr. Saunders removes her glasses and pinches the bridge of her nose. She sighs.)
Dr. Saunders: You know, its taken me years to collect all of this data regarding your appearances. It was genuinely difficult, having such a small team manually scanning through everything just to catch a glimpse of your face in the footage. It didn't help that some of us had to be constantly dosing up on mnestics to try to pin you down in our records.
(Dr. Saunders leans back in her chair, crossing her arms.)
Dr. Saunders: I never actually thought I'd see the day where you'd be sitting in front of me like this. After decades of entering our facilities and taking advantage of breaches and passwords and loopholes in the system… I'm still surprised that you look exactly the same. Haven't aged a day.
(SCP-0026 is silent for a moment, staring at the photos before her. SCP-0026 then mumbles something under her breath.)
Dr. Saunders: I'm sorry, what was that?
SCP-0026: Time… It actually passes for all of you here?
Dr. Saunders: Well, yes. Of course it would. How else does time flow?
(SCP-0026 stares down at the photographs once more.)
SCP-0026: I don't know. Dreams aren't supposed to work like this.
Dr. Saunders: Dreams… Do you believe that you are dreaming, SCP-0026?
SCP-0026: Yes. I am dreaming. None of this is real.
Dr. Saunders: So you fully believe that you are dreaming up all of this?
SCP-0026: N-no, I know that I am.Dr. Saunders: How are you so sure of that?
SCP-0026: If I were dreaming, I would have a sense of control. If this was my dream and my dream alone then I would be able to twist and churn and make it up as I go along. I could give myself superpowers, I could fly, or at the very least I could wake myself up whenever I would like. But this is not my dream. I have no control over any of it. It's very hard to get tangled up in your own dreams, but you can easily get drawn into others'.
SCP-0026: If this were my dream, and my dream alone, then I would be able to just… dream of something else. I wouldn't have to go through the cycle of just starting in a new place before throwing myself into the meat grinder.
Dr. Saunders: We'd also like to ask you about that - why do you keep hurting yourself like this? Why do you keep throwing yourself at these horrible things?
(There is another long pause.)
Dr. Saunders: Is it because you're upset? Is it something we can help with? SCP-0026, if something is wrong you can tell us, we can get you any help you need - we have the resources. You just have to tell us.
SCP-0026: I do it because its the only way for me to wake up.
Dr. Saunders: From the dream?
SCP-0026: Yes, exactly, from this whole… this entire thing. It's the usual logic - you're being chased and you wake up before the thing grabs you, you're thrown off a mountain and awaken before you hit the ground. It's exactly the same, and I… it's the only way that they let me go. I have to experience it, as much as I can, and when I do, they let me go.
Dr. Saunders: You keep alluding to a "they", and I wanted to come back to that topic. You hinted that this is someone else's dream and not your own. Do you know who else's dream this is?
SCP-0026: Yes.
Dr. Saunders: Can you tell me?
(SCP-0026 does not respond to further prompting.)
[END LOG]
After a psychological evaluation, SCP-0026 was placed under intensive care as well as suicide watch due to her volatile behavioral shifts and multiple attempts at self-termination.
Addendum 0026.3: Recovered Article
On 29 February 2028, SCP-0026 was found reading a newspaper in her cell. It was quickly confiscated by guards and was transferred to Site-17's research group. When reviewing security footage, SCP-0026 was viewed with her back to the wall, reaching her hand behind her and pulling out the newspaper. When questioned, SCP-0026 denied that this action was voluntary.
The newspaper was labelled "The Kennebec Journal," a January 2022 edition. It showed no abnormalities except for an article on page 17 in a column adjacent to the "Obituary" section. The article depicts a smiling photo of SCP-0026 and reads as follows:
YOUNG WOMAN COMATOSE, FAMILY PLEADS FOR ANSWERS
by Garrison BlakeNeighbors in the town of Dawson, Maine, are still baffled at the circumstances regarding the hospitalization of Ms. Evelyn Creely, with the young woman's family still at a loss for words.
On November 22, 2021, Evelyn was found laying in her bedroom when her mother attempted to wake her up for work. Mrs. Diana Creely was concerned as her daughter was late for her shift at the local nursing home, and she was surprised at how Evelyn apparently slept through the entire morning and early afternoon. After Evelyn didn't respond to her mother's attempts to wake her, emergency services were called to the Creelys' home in order to transport their daughter to St. John's Hospital on the outer edges of Dawson.
When interviewing Mr. Jason Creely, he said that there was still no exact explanation as to why his daughter was unable to awaken.
"The doctors couldn't find a reason for any of it, they're all at a loss for words," he stated. "All they could tell us is that her brain was still working just fine. For all we saw, she's just fast asleep. The nurses kept saying there weren't any abnormalities that could've sent her under like this."
Evelyn was known to be a quiet yet informative and well-read young woman, with her friends describing her as "driven by stories." Her favorite genres were mystery, horror, and science fiction, with her mother describing how she would spend hours on fiction and writing forums, attempting to spin her own tales.
A fundraiser and vigil will be held this upcoming Saturday on the corner of Sackett and Rhyne in order to raise awareness and money to help the Creelys cover their medical bills.
SCP-0026's containment protocol is to be debated in regards to the Swann Protocol during the upcoming Ethics Committee meeting on 15 March 2028.

Photograph found in abandoned Sub-Site-17. Taken c. 1942. Subject unknown.
Special Containment Procedures: Personnel found assigned to SCP-6173 duty are to be quickly classified as instances of SCP-6173-A, with their worker files and documentation imported to an independent server via Foundation program TKLL.aic. These files are to be studied and reviewed for discrepancies and potential cognitohazardous triggers. Personnel assigned to review files of SCP-6173-A instances are to undergo extensive memetic and cognitohazard resistance training before initiating their tasks.
Description: SCP-6173 is an anomaly linked to the Foundation's Hazardous Materials Containment Liaison (HMCL) team. The exact effects and properties of SCP-6173 are currently under internal investigation due to a significant lack of information regarding the HMCL subdivision. This lack of information has yet to be explained due to the appearance that the Foundation's HMCL division has not been in use for the past 40 years. Again, despite this lack of performance, Foundation records state no official dissolving or dissolution of the division.
Due to the currently unknown status of both the HMCL team as well as the SCP-6173 anomaly itself, the title "SCP-6173" will be used interchangably to label both throughout this document.
Addendum 6173.1: Formation
The modern iteration of the Foundation was formed in ████ when several major organizations merged, including a portion of the Global Occult Coalition, the American Secure Containment Initiative, and defectors of the Wanderer's Library. This merger allowed the Foundation the ability to create larger facilities due to both an influx of capital and various land grants attained through these aforementioned connections. As the Foundation erected more Sites and bases, its management structure became more complex, causing O5 Command to reorganize personnel into separate divisions that dealt with topics such as research, anomalistic sciences, and countercontainment efforts.
The first HMCL team was unofficially formed in April 1933 in response to a currently neutralized SCP. The item constantly produced multiple types of complex corrosive acids that were highly dangerous and could not be neutralized by basic solutions, which allowed the artefact to slowly destroy its temporary containment chamber over time. Concerned that it would damage the structural integrity of both the chamber and facility, Site Director Daniel Clarke10 organized a group of eight scientists and engineers to create a series of chambers that would withstand anomalous corrosive substances. The team was noted to work efficiently in managing the item's anomalous properties by utilizing breakthroughs in anomalous chemistry, specifically crafting various steel alloys that were able to counter various paranatural phenomenon. While successful, some of these resulting materials produced unforeseen results regarding the extent of their properties, though these were seen as minor setbacks when compared to the team's contributions to the future of containment efforts.
After viewing the team's efficacy, Director Daniel Clarke decided in June of 1933 to organize an official separate branch of the Foundation's Containment Division, labelled the Hazardous Materials Containment Liaison team. The purpose of the subsect was to provide both insight and experience in containing unstable waste-producing anomalies, as well as handling and partially neutralizing the effects of hazardous anomalous wastes.
Information found beyond this point is either contradictory, lost, or entirely expunged from Foundation records.
Addendum 6173.0X: Impact on Morale
Despite efforts to quell rumors within employee circles, gossip regarding SCP-6173 has continued to spread through a significant majority of Foundation divisions. As expected, these rumors are brought up in conjunction with other urban legends as well as various failures within and caused by the Foundation.
Addendum 6173.0X: Incident Timeline
On XX/XX/XXXX, MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") was sent into a previously sealed basement sector of Site-17 due to previous evidence proving that
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HMCL TEAM?
That is the question. What is the actual answer, though?
Another ghost story hidden within the recesses of the Foundation.
In a sense, it's significant lack of existence could easily come into question. The fact that it is referenced in only a handful of articles is cause for concern. It exists, but it isn't as prevalent as other organizations or forces. Maybe we should be worried.
It exists, or existed. It either is small or has mostly been wiped from record.
This could be something that attempts to explain what exactly happened to the SCP Foundation's HMCL team…
A ghost story within white walls and under fluorescent lights…
(Site-02 being converted into what is now known as Site-19 in 1948.)
