Special containment procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be classified as Safe, Dark, and Notice outside of approved testing or when in use as a Thaumiel object. All tests of Keter, Keneq or above, and Danger or above are not to be attempted.
SCP-XXXX-B is to be stored in a safe class storage unit, with SCP-XXXX-B capable of being seen from the adjacent hallway. SCP-XXXX-B is to be stored in a Keter class containment unit(See attached document XXXX/Storage) with a checking of its condition is to be carried out not less than once every twelve hours when not being tested on.
The official copy of this file is to be stored on a computer that can not receive information from the internet or other external devices, and is to be protected by the best firewall reasonably available to the Foundation.
If a XXXX-Z Black event takes place, procedure XXXX/Zred is to be taken into effect. All staff on site 81 are to be told to be prepared to evacuate in the case of a XXXX/red event.(See attached document, XXXX/Zred)
All staff on site 81 are to be told to be prepared to evacuate in the case of a XXXX/red event.
Research into discovering more information on Hectic Youngs is to be continued. Hectic Youngs is to be apprehended if possible.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an object that changes based upon its object classification within the Foundation, with any official foundation object classification being capable of being applied to and subsequently altering SCP-XXXX's state. All similarly classified states share at least one common trait, for example each observed states of SCP-XXXX classified as Safe has manifested as a baseball, and every observed instance of SCP-XXXX classified as Euclid has manifested as a gemstone.
Each instance of SCP-XXXX has been assigned a alphanumeric identification in addition to the SCP's normal identification, as well as a few of the anomalies that have been manifested by SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX-B is a green baseball of regulation size and weight. SCP-XXXX-B can be picked up and otherwise interacted with by a subject with no apparent anomalous properties as long as the subject does not have an understanding of the rules of baseball.
When SCP-XXXX-B is being held by a subject who does understand the rules of baseball, SCP-XXXX-B-1 will appear 18.44 m in front of the subject if there is no object blocking the space between the subject and SCP-XXXX-B-1's intended manifestation point. SCP-XXXX-B-1 is a wooden baseball bat made of greenheart wood, with the inscription 'Hectic Occurrences' engraved into its handle.
Once SCP-XXXX-B-1 has manifested, it will levitate in place, moving only in correspondence to significant change in the location of the subject holding SCP-XXXX-B. If SCP-XXXX-B is not thrown, SCP-XXXX-B will participate in activities such as swinging itself in the way a professional baseball batter might warm up, and hitting the ground directly below it. If SCP-XXXX-B is thrown within a certain range (approximately 1 meter) of SCP-XXXX-B-1, SCP-XXXX-B-1 will swing and hit SCP-XXXX-B with perfect accuracy towards any human other than the subject within 130 metres, in such a fashion that the target will require only minimal effort to catch SCP-XXXX-B.
When SCP-XXXX-B is hit, SCP-XXXX-B-1 will demanifest 74 seconds later if SCP-XXXX-B is not returned to the original pitcher, and will remanifest if in the hands of a viable subject. To date, SCP-XXXX-B-1 has never missed once it has swung.
Addendum 1a:
Recovery source: A paranormal forum based on forest oddities.
Foreword: This conversation was recorded after the recovery of SCP-XXXX-A (Extraneous activity has been omitted due to its irrelevance, though a full log can be found in file XXXX/1/F1)
<Begin Log, 10:17 12/19/2014>
Nocturnal-Critter85: Hey, I found this really weird thing in the woods today, and was wondering if anyone could help me?
[Admin]MoonSun: Sure thing Critter, what did you find?
CrossedxSpars: Yeah! we can tell you basically anything about the woods!
JumperJeminai: Do you have a picture?
Nocturnal-Critter85: No, I dont have a photo.
Nocturnal-Critter85: I dont own a phone, just using my computer.
SpookyLama: Well, what is the thing?
Nocturnal-Critter85: The thing is a ball out in the middle of the woods, about the size of a baseball floating around the height of my waist.
[Admin]MoonSun: …. What?
[A conversation ensues about the reliability of user Nocturnal-Critter85]
JumperJeminai: Where do you live?
Nocturnal-Critter85: ██████ city
SpookyLama: Hold on, I live near there, Ill go with a few friends to see if he's lying to us
Nocturnal-Critter85: I'll meet you at the ██████ library.
[Data omitted for brevity]
SpookyLama: Holy cow, I just got home, and can hardly believe Im typing this, but Critter was right.
[Mod]HecticY: Right about what?
JumperJeminai: OMG Really?
SpookyLama: Yeah, about the ball floating in the woods!
SpookyLama: Its real, and no matter what we did, it would not move.
CrossedxSpars: You touched it?
Nocturnal-Critter85: Yeah?
SpookyLama: Why not?
CrossedxSpars: With how strange it is, how did you not know it was poisonous? or some kind a creature that could hurt you.
[Admin]MoonSun: Wait, the ball was real?
SpookyLama: … I didn't think off that
Nocturnal-Critter85: What do we do with it now?
JumperJeminai: Probably report it to the papers or something.
[Mod]HecticY: Probably to ████ ██████ ███ ███████
Nocturnal-Critter85: Why there? Thats an address, not a organization
[Mod]HecticY: Ive had experience with them
[Admin]MoonSun: Hectic, have you been holding out on us?
[Mod]HecticY: They've never come up, but you can trust me on this.
[Foundation AI at this point noticed the forum, where a MTF was set to recover the object and amnestisize all first and second hand witnesses]
Addendum 1b: SCP-XXXX-A was recovered on 12/25/2014, due to its immovable nature, a temporary site was erected around the object until more could be ascertained about its nature.
Special Containment Procedures: A 24 hour guard is to be posted around SCP-XXXX to prevent civilian contact. Due to its immobile nature, no other containment procedures have been deemed necessary.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sphere (Approximately 0.5 m in diameter) of a silver coloration. No method of moving or damaging SCP-XXXX has been found due to this nature, its composition has not been able to be determined.
SCP-XXXX is located in ██████ forest in the United States, Wisconsin.
Addendum 1c: Upon the classification of SCP-XXXX, its form and properties changed that of SCP-XXXX-B, and as of writing, replication of SCP-XXXX's original state has not been succseful.
After the disappearance of SCP-XXXX-A, a code yellow search was put into place for approximately 13 hours, before the discovery of SCP-XXXX-B, though the search continued as Foundation MTFs did not realize that they already had the object in their possession. After approximately 24 hours, the object classification on the object was changed to Euclid/Dark/Notice, when SCP-XXXX underwent a change from SCP-XXXX-B to SCP-XXXX-C.
Shortly afterwards the code yellow search was called off, and testing on the true nature of SCP-XXXX began.
Addendum 1d: After the recovery and transport of SCP-XXXX, the object was relocated to site 81, new containment procedures were put into place, though testing was commenced upon the conclusion that both the creation of a SCP-XXXX document and its first update caused SCP-XXXX to transform.
Containment Class:
euclid
Special Containment Procedures: A 24 hour guard is to be posted around SCP-XXXX to prevent civilian contact. Due to it immobile nature, no other containment procedures have been deemed necessary. SCP-XXXX is to be stored inside a standard Euclid object containment cell made of steel or stronger metals.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a high quality Emerald of a pear shape.
SCP-XXXX will move towards the nearest source of gold that is 90% or more in quality, and is at least 10 oz in weight. SCP-XXXX will move at a speed of 5-10 miles per hour when not in a confined space, and will move in such a path that it will avoid any major obstacles in its path, it is unknown how it knows its path.
When SCP-XXXX is placed in a confined space constructed of a weak material (Such as cardboard or tin) it will move to the edge of its containment and push its way out. If SCP-XXXX containment is made of a stronger material it will cease all movement once it has reached the wall closest to a suitable source of gold.
SCP-XXXX is located in ██████ forest in the United States, Wisconsin.
Addendum: Older version of SCP-XXXX file, it is currently unknown if the current SCP-XXXX(SCP-XXXX-B) is the same as the old SCP-XXXX(SCP-XXXX-A)
SCP-XXXX is a sphere (Approximately 0.5 m in diameter) of a silver coloration. No method of moving or damaging SCP-XXXX has been found due to this nature, its composition has not been able to be determined.
Addendum 2a: Testing logs of SCP-XXXX
Incident Log XXXX-A
Date: 12/30/2014
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Euclid/Dark/Notice
Precautions: None
Results: SCP-XXXX underwent a change from SCP-XXXX-B(A green baseball) to a Emerald with the pear shape, which has been designated as SCP-XXXX-C. SCP-XXXX-C was observed to move north(357 degrees) at a rate of 1 mph.
Notes: We were lucky to contain SCP-XXXX this time, this tells us we were not keeping a close enough eye on the object.
Test Log XXXX-A
Date: 01/13/2015
Pre Test Notes: SCP-XXXX's description was chaged back to a previous revision to no effect, further tests reupdated the file, and updated SCP-XXXX's object class.
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-C
New classification: Safe/Dark/Notice
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX-C was placed in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two D-Class placed within the cell.
Results: SCP-XXXX was instantly changed from SCP-XXXX-C to SCP-XXXX-B, with both footage and present D-Class confirming that there was no transitional period.
Notes: The object seems to change based off of its Object class, and both objects we have observed have deserved their object class, it is my suggestion we perform test on low tier object classes.
Test Log XXXX-B
Date: 01/20/2015
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Safe/Dark/Caution
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX-B was placed in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two D-Class placed within the cell. Test took place on a site situated next to a closed ceiling baseball stadium and gem cutting/study tools.
Results: SCP-XXXX stayed in the containment cell with no apparent change, the object (SCP-XXXX-D) was then taken into a closed ceiling baseball stadium with a set of D-Class, who were given SCP-XXXX-D. A instance similar to SCP-XXXX-B-1, though now sprouting leafs at its handle(Now designated as SCP-XXXX-D-1).
The D-Class played a game a baseball with SCP-XXXX-D, with no surprising incident until approximately 1 hour into the game, when the 'pitcher' of the D-Classes team informed researchers that his hands were beginning to suffer burns on his hands.
After further analysis it was found that SCP-XXXX-D excretes the same oil as that of Toxicodendron radicans(Also known as poison ivy), and all persons who came into direct skin contact with SCP-XXXX-D suffered similar burns of varying severity.
Notes: While it did take some time for the objects new qualities to become apparent, it has held up to its object classification, and as such suggest we classify and store this object with the Safe/Dark/Notice Object classification.
Test Log XXXX-C
Date: 01/22/2015
Pre Test Notes: After the previous test, SCP-XXXX's contaiment procedures were revised and stored as a Safe/Dark/Notice classified object.
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Safe/Vlam/Notice
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX-B was placed in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two D-Class placed within the cell. Test took place on a site situated next to a closed ceiling baseball stadium and gem cutting/study tools.
Results: SCP-XXXX took on a dark red coloration, though no other change was observed within it initial cell. The test was temporarily postponed (Until 01/25/2015) for the prior team of D-Class to recover from their injuries and carry out another game with SCP-XXXX. The object was provided to the D-Class, who were instructed to carry out another game of baseball. When the pitcher came into possession of SCP-XXXX, a instance similar ro SCP-XXXX-B-1 appeared, though now composed of redheart wood.
The game played out without incident until approximately 5 minutes into the game, when a D-Class member failed to catch SCP-XXXX, and a artificial voice could be heard, announcing that the D-Class had dropped a ball. The voice was loud enough to be clearly heard from 60 meters outside the enclosed area.
The voices source seems to originate from SCP-XXXX-1, and spoke to indicate the following; Dropped balls, Runners at bases, Runs(These events only occurred after SCP-XXXX was dropped, and no person was seen to have run from home base to first plate), and Injured players(D-000754 twisted her ankle, which was later found to be sprained). After each announcement indicating a runner had made it to home base, the voice offered a score.
New identification: SCP-XXXX-E
Notes: I find it intriguing that all of a sudden these games have points, I wonder if there is any way to make the teams switch sides?
Test Log XXXX-D
Date: 01/27/2015
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Safe/Vlam/Caution
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX-B was placed in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two D-Class placed within the cell. Test took place on a site situated next to a closed ceiling baseball stadium and gem cutting/study tools.
Results: SCP-XXXX turned into the same coloration as SCP-XXXX-E, and upon examination, was shown to excrete the same oil as SCP-XXXX-D. SCP-XXXX was given to the same team of D-class personnel along with a set of gloves to protect them from burns. The artificial voice announced the same occurrences as SCP-XXXX-E.
SCP-XXXX-1 was noted to be made of redwood, and also sprouting toxicodendron radicans leaves.
No unexpected incident happened until 93 minutes into the game, when it was announced that the team at bat could not play due to chemical burns, and SCP-XXXX-1 demanifested. D-Class were ordered to stay in the field, and wait for SCP-XXXX-1 to remanifest. After 24 hours of waiting, the test was aborted and SCP-XXXX was returned to containment.
New identification:SCP-XXXX-F
Notes: This test shows that SCP-XXXX's 'team' can be harmed, despite the fact we can neither see nor touch them.
Test Log XXXX-E
Date: 02/10/2015
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Euclid/Dark/Caution
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX-B was placed in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two D-Class placed within the cell. Test took place on a site situated next to a closed ceiling baseball stadium and gem cutting/study tools.
Results: SCP-XXXX was transformed into a state visually identical to SCP-XXXX-C, however a inspection of SCP-XXXX showed that the object excreted the same oil as that of toxicodendron radicans. SCP-XXXX still showed the same movement pattern. When held by a D-Class personnel, who was instructed to hold the object as to prevent movement, the effects of the chemical burns were accelerated, causing SCP-XXXX to be dropped and continue its path.
New identification: SCP-XXXX-G
Notes: These tests have shown there is a pattern with all of these classes.
Test Log XXXX-F
Date: 02/20/2015
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Euclid/Vlam/Notice
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX-B was placed in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two D-Class placed within the cell. Test took place on a site situated next to a closed ceiling baseball stadium and gem cutting/study tools.
Results: SCP-XXXX is transformed into the same shape as SCP-XXXX-C, however is now composed of red emerald as opposed to green emerald. No additional effect was observed.
New identification: SCP-XXXX-H
Notes: This is the first iteration of SCP-XXXX where the object did not change in a way to meet its object class. I don't feel like this is right, and suggest providing gold to the object to see its effect.
Test Log XXXX-G
Date: 02/30/2015
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Euclid/Vlam/Caution
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX-B was placed in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two D-Class placed within the cell. Test took place on a site situated next to a closed ceiling baseball stadium and gem cutting/study tools.
Results: SCP-XXXX transformed into red emerald with the pear shape, containing the same movement pattern as SPC-XXXX-C, the same oil as SCP-XXXX-G. Once again, no condition making this object worthy of the class of Vlam was detected.
New identification: SCP-XXXX-I
Notes: It happened again, the pattern held up for both containment and risk class, so why is it ignoring its disruption class now?
Test Log XXXX-H
Date: 03/07/2015
Pre Test Notes: This test was carried out to see the effects of gold on SCP-XXXX
Test subjects: SCP-XXXX-C, SCP-XXXX-G, SCP-XXXX-H, SCP-XXXX-I
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX was in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two level 3 researchers with a background in jewelry and gem study. Test took place on a site with gem cutting/study tools.
Procedure: SCP-XXXX was introduced to 10 ounces of gold of a 90% quality in each of its Euclid forms.
Results: In each instance of the test, the gold transformed into a ring with SCP-XXXX as its setting, engraved with the words 'Hectic Occurrences.' In each instance the gold was returned to its prior state upon the reclassification of SPC-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX-C: SCP-XXXX granted the wearer of the ring the ability to teleport up to 2 meters every 10 minutes. This effect occurred across every iteration.
SCP-XXXX-G: SCP-XXXX appeared to have no additional effects until the subject wearing the ring attempted to remove the ring, upon removal, it coated the subjects finger with oil, causing a severe chemical burn on her ring finger.
SCP-XXXX-H: SCP-XXXX Glowed when placed on the finger of a human being, those who viewed SCP-XXXX in this time frame were able to understand the emotional state of the subject wearing the ring.
SCP-XXXX-I: SCP-XXXX had all the traits of the prior three objects.
Notes: This test showed that SCP-XXXX-H and SCP-XXXX-I both do deserve their classification, but only when they come into contact with gold.
Addendum 2b: Due to the properties of SCP-XXXX testing using non-standard classes was allowed to try and potentially find more of the nature of SCP-XXXX or find a use as a thaumiel or other similar item.
Test Log XXXX-I
Date: 09/03/2015
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Esoteric(Thaumiel)/Dark/Notice
Precautions: Test was conducted while SCP-XXXX-B was placed in a Keter class object containment cell, with a camera and two D-Class placed within the cell.
Other SCP in use: SCP-5980
Results: SCP-XXXX was observed to have a 10 second delay in transformation, with the object becoming a bundle of white string, measuring 60.96 meters in length when fully stretched out.
SCP-5980 was provided due to its cooperation. SCP-5980 was instructed to walk over a length of SCP-XXXX. SCP-5980 stopped over the string, and reported feeling a wall like barrier over the twine. SCP-5980 was instructed to try and move SCP-XXXX. SCP-5980 reported it was possible for SCP-XXXX to be moved, however was very heavy, and he would have prefered not to.
Placing objects above SCP-XXXX, as well as having SCP-5980 pass over SCP-XXXX on upper floors has shown that the effects of SCP-XXXX extend 100 meters into the air, regardless of other obstacles.
No effect was reported when normal human passed over SCP-XXXX.
Attempts to cut the string with non-anomalous scissors meet in full success(All instances of SCP-XXXX-J vanished upon reclasification).
New identification: SCP-XXXX-J
Notes: While SCP-XXXX-J seems like a solid barrier for anoumlies, it still seems to be somewhat fallible.
Test Log XXXX-J
Date: 09/09/2015
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Anomalous
Precautions: Test occurred in a Keter class containment cell with a camera and two D-Class personnel.
Results: SCP-XXXX was transformed into a small block of wood, seared with the letters 'H.Y,' that is perpetually warm to the touch.
Notes: I don't know what you expected.
Test Log XXXX-K
Date: 11/01/2015
Previous state: SCP-XXXX-B
New classification: Esoteric(Hiemal)/Dark/Notice
Precautions: Test occurred in a Keter class containment cell with a camera and two D-Class personnel.
Results: SCP-XXXX became a glass box, containing two suspended spheres. The sphere situated on bottom continually growed. The sphere situated on top extracted a green liquid. When the green liquid landed upon the bottom sphere, it shrank by a small margined, with the secretion of the liquid frequent enough to keep the sphere from reaching the edge of the box, and did not grow small enough to miss any liquid from hitting the box.
New identification: SCP-XXXX-J(The top sphere) and SCP-XXXX-L(The bottom sphere)
