Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 is contained in Humanoid Containment Site-06-3 in a medium-sized containment locker. Video surveillance of SCP-XXXX-1's clock face is to be maintained 24/7. Two (2) MTF are to guard the entrance to SCP-XXXX-1's door at all times. Each time the clock face displays the time 11:50, an overhead mechanical arm is to be manually activated by assigned personnel to turn back the hour hand to 1:00. Should the arm malfunction or generally be in unfit conditions, an assigned researcher is to manually turn back the clock to 1:00. Should the clock reach 12:00, SCP-XXXX-1's room is to be put on lockdown until SCP-XXXX-1's anomalous effects die down. Class-D personnel are not permitted to enter SCP-XXXX-1's room (see Incident XXXX-1).
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is an analog clock in the shape of a red cartoon heart with two black clock hands. Only the roman numeral for the number twelve (XII) is visible. XXXX-1 is made out of a combination of hard enamel and a second unidentified metal. The surface of SCP-XXXX-1 is smooth and reflective. The word "Perfection" is written on the back of SCP-XXXX-1 in golden ink.
The clock has been shown to occasionally drip an unidentified substance (SCP-XXXX-2) when nearing 12:00. SCP-XXXX-2 usually dissipates between four (4) to nine (9) seconds after reaching SCP-XXXX-1's chamber floor if the clock face does not display 12:00. If SCP-XXXX-1 is allowed to reach 12:00, the clock gradually increases production of this substance until it fills one fifth (1/5) of the room. It is then that the substance groups into one corner and expands vertically until it vaguely resembles a humanoid (SCP-XXXX-2). SCP-XXXX-2 does not appear to have a high intelligence and only attempts to make its way towards the closest living lifeform.
Once SCP-XXXX-2 makes contact, it will begin to absorb the organic being, possibly for food. The victim usually becomes unconscious during this time. Once the victim is fully absorbed, SCP-XXXX-2 will then return to SCP-XXXX-1 and melt into a puddle before seeping back into SCP-XXXX-1.
Addendum XXXX-1: SCP-XXXX-1 was discovered on ██/██/20██ when Dr. K██ bought the clock off of Amazon. The page described no unusual properties of the clock. The account associated with the clock ("midnight3111") has since been taken down. Once the package had arrived, Dr. K found a note reading "12:00 = Nig gpouze pdcxku ma bkbak daa edvb." Dr. K initially thought nothing of the note until 11:54, when Dr. K noticed a dark substance seeping out of SCP-XXXX-1's tight spaces. The clock was brought to the attention of the Foundation, where it was cataloged shortly thereafter.
Addendum XXXX-2: The note that arrived with SCP-XXXX-1 was discovered to have been written in a Vigenére cipher, encrypted with the passphrase "Midnight".
Incident XXXX-1: On ██/██/20██, the first test regarding SCP-XXXX-1 occured. SCP-XXXX-1 was allowed to display 12:00 by Dr. F███████. SCP-XXXX-2 started to form after approximately eight (8) seconds. It then started to trudge in the direction of the 7cm-thick viewing window that separated SCP-XXXX-1 from Dr. F███████ and his small research team. SCP-XXXX-2 soon headed for the door to its containment, where two (2) MTF were guarding on the opposite side.
SCP-XXXX-2 melted back into a puddle and seeped under the door (the space between the floor and the door was less than 1/5 of a millimeter). Site-06-3 was put on lockdown as XXXX-2 absorbed an MTF guard. It was then that second guard started shooting at SCP-XXXX-2. Multiple MTF were quickly sent to the scene, where SCP-XXXX-2 attempted to return to SCP-XXXX-1. Shortly thereafter, SCP-XXXX-1's room was fitted with doors with only a distance 1/12 of a millimeter from the floor. SCP-XXXX-2 has displayed its inability to fit under the door's space.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-A through C are contained at Site-88, Section C, Floor 20. Constant movement is required between the three subjects. Subjects are not allowed to stay within the same meter of each other for longer than three (3) hours. Each instance of SCP-XXXX-1 is to be removed from the room for examination. If any unusual behavior is observed, report to Dr. Christina Morse.
Description: SCP-XXXX-A through C are three sentient bipedal humanoid creatures made out of various dark metals. Each subject is 3.06m tall and weighs about 43.5kg to 52.1kg each. SCP-XXXX-A and B both resemble the image of a human male, while SCP-XXXX-C resembles that of a female human. All three subjects have the average intelligence of a human. Each subject seems to recall a random year that was significant in Serbia's history (see Addendum XXXX-01).
Further research reveals that when all three subjects stay within for more than three (3) hours, a statue of each subject will gradually appear in the spot (referred to as SCP-XXXX-1). SCP-XXXX-1 causes thoughts to course through any individual who touches it. Thoughts are described as being in both Serbian and English. Thoughts include "Solve the crisis", "I like plums", and "When can we go back home?" It is speculated that these thoughts are those of SCP-XXXX-A, B, and C. The subjects refuse to cooperate when questioned. Each instance of SCP-XXXX-1 has some variation of the phrase "Bright future to our country and hope that we will succeed" engraved on th plaque.
SCP-XXXX-A through C were first discovered in ████ ███, Serbia, on ██/██/19██ by Saša V██████ and Dr. J███████ during an outing after [REDACTED]. SCP-XXXX-B sat down with V██████ and conversed about the future of Serbia while Dr. J███████ asked SCP-XXXX-A and C questions regarding their origin (see Interview XXXX-01).

Dr. J███████: Right. I think we should get you moved before somebody sees us….
SCP-XXXX-A, B, and C were shortly moved to Site-88.
An instance of SCP-XXX-J.
Item #: SCP-XXX-J
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: There is no current way to contain the anomaly, other than correcting the translation manually.
Description: SCP-XXX-J is an anomaly in which a sentence or paragraph in another language is translated very poorly into English or even another language. Translation has proven that the work was done poorly. It is unknown what causes these translations, or what their motivation is. SCP-XXX-J's anomalous effects are most prominent in countries such as China or Japan.
When viewing SCP-XXX-J, subjects report minor annoyance and sometimes comedic value out of SCP-XXX-J.
Item #: SCP-XXX-J
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX-J is kept within a standard containment locker in Storage Site-112.
Description: SCP-XXX-J is a ███████ brand VHS cassette tape. The word "globglogabgalab" [sic] is hand-written on the label. When played in a standard VHS player, the screen displays the short children's film Strawinsky and the Mysterious House. Everything up until the "library scene" is normal. After approximately one (1) minute, the
The cassette was discovered in the attic of [REDACTED] in Pennsylvania, USA. The owners were administered Class A amnestics and left alive.
SCP-173 shortly before initial containment.
Item #: SCP-173
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-173 is to be contained within a medium-sized containment locker at Site-19. Two (2) guards are to monitor SCP-173's locker at all times. Bi-weekly, three (3) Class-D personnel are to enter SCP-173's locker while accompanied by four (4) guards. The Class-D's are to be instructed to clean the substance accumulated on the ground of SCP-173's locker. Personnel are to alert each other before blinking to avoid a containment breach.
Description: SCP-173 is a large humanoid statue 1.78m tall. Tests show the object is constructed of concrete and rebar, as well as faint traces of ██████ brand spray paint. SCP-173's facial region composes of red and green paint. The object's origin is currently unknown.
SCP-173 "prefers" to move only when it is not in direct line of sight of a human being (see Addendum #173-01). When direct line of sight is broken, SCP-173 is capable of moving at speeds recorded between 110 and 130 kph and targeting the closest organic being. When not observed, SCP-173 will then snap the neck at the base of the skull or strangle the victim until death. The object will then move on to its next victim.
Some personnel have reported the sound of scraping emitting from within SCP-173's container when it is not occupied. This behavior has been considered "normal" for the object. Any new behaviors should be immediately reported to the Site Director.
SCP-173 was first discovered at [REDACTED] in Shimane, Japan. █ corpses were found at the scene. DNA tests reveal the victims as the following.
| Victim |
Age |
Cause of Death |
| Rei Ikeda |
18 |

The substance accumulating on the ground, which is a mixture of human feces and blood, is believed to have originated from these victims.
SCP-173 was moved to Site-19 in 1993 following a containment breach at Site-██.
Addendum #173-01: During the initial containment of SCP-173 at [REDACTED], SCP-173 was (for a brief period) seen moving while in direct line of sight of Agents ████████ and ████. It is speculated that SCP-173 merely "prefers" to move when not directly observed.
Request #173-01: Requesting to cross-SCP test with SCP-682. Data will be recorded in Experiment Log T-98816-OC108/682. -Dr. █████████.
Request approved. -O5-██.
Note: No more cross-SCP testing involving SCP-173 and SCP-682 is to be done. -Dr. █████████.
