SCP 5000: The Silent Warrior

Item Number: SCP-5000

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP 5000-1 is to be contained in the Euclid level humanoid containment wing at Site 19. Due to its properties, SCP 5000-1 does not require any sustenance and, apart from weekly inspections of the containment cell, is to be left undisturbed at all times when experimentation and research is not being conducted.SCP 5000-2 is stored in a converted hanger at surface level in Site 19. The hanger has been outfitted with 6 inches of layered blast proof steel and graphene, although modifications and repairs are made regularly. Because SCP 5000-2 undergoes regular 'shifts' in its appearance and anomalous properties, containment procedures for SCP 5000-2 must be updated at least once every two weeks or as deemed necessary by the director of Site 19. Due to the numerous containment breaches and breach attempts, Mobile Task Force Pi-15 (Brother's Keeper) has been permanently assigned to contain SCP 5000. All members of Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 (Mole Rats) are to be kept from making contact with SCP 5000 unless given approval by research staff. Except during experiments approved by the Site 19 director and two personell of O5 clearance, SCP 5000-1 is to be kept separated from SCP 5000-2 at all costs.

Description: SCP 5000-1, formerly D-6547, formerly Agent ███████ of Mobile Task Force Zeta-9, is a 29 year old Caucasian male of strong build and average weight. SCP 5000-1 wears the D-class uniform it was provided prior to Incident 5000-1A. SCP 5000-1 spends much of its time in a docile state seated on the floor of its cell,despite being provided with standard furnishings. The subject is noted to be unnaturally quiet and still, with no apparent breathing or heartbeat despite making the appearance of breathing. It is believed that sometime during Incident 5000-1A, an entity of unknown origin or intent took possession of D-6547's higher brain functions.SCP 5000-1 is acutely aware of the location and presence of SCP 5000-2 at all times, and has attempted to breach containment on three occasions.Prior to containment as a D-class or anomaly, Agent ███████ served with MTF Zeta-9 from 03/05/2010 until being demoted to D-class after a ruling by the Ethics Committee on 11/27/2017. This occurred after a third reprimand for his use of excessive force and Agent ███████ was sent to Site 19 due to a shortage of D-class at the time.

SCP 5000-2 is believed to be a space-time anomaly capable of transporting and assuming control of objects from an unknown number of sources, including other anomalous objects currently in containment and other universes. The true appearance of SCP 5000-2, if one exists, is unknown. These shifts occur approximately every fourteen days, with the shortest duration being five hours and the longest two months. Each shift involves the replacement of the former object with a new object that may seem better suited to attempt a breach. A list of notable shifts is listed in Addendum 1. To date, the largest form SCP 5000-2 has assumed was that of a Boeing 747-8, which caused the collapse of its original containment cell. The shifts often provide non-anomalous objects with anomalous properties,typically self- locomotion and a low degree of intelligence. These are used to attempt to reach SCP 5000-1 and aid in breaching its containment.

Discovery: On July 10, 2018 at 07:35, Site 19 underwent automatic lock down after the on site AI detected a discrepancy between Site 19's database and the rest of the Foundation's servers, as detailed in Incident 5000-1A. During the sweeps of the facility, D-6547's cellmate reported his odd behavior to passing guards, who called research staff shortly after opening the cell. Upon arrival, D-6547 was found in possession with SCP 5000-2, which took the form of SCP 2200-1. D-6547 did not respond to commands by staff to release SCP 5000-2 and three minutes later attempted to use SCP 5000-2 to attack research staff. The subject was rendered unconscious by guards, after which SCP 5000-2 was removed and placed in a Euclid containment cell. D-6547 was taken to an interview room. The subject was then placed in the humanoid wing to await further investigation.

Incident 5000-1A: On July 10, 2018, Site 19's AI detected a time discrepancy between Site 19 and the rest of the Foundation's network. Specifically, there was a seven day period during which no activity, including video and audio, was recorded across the entirety of Site 19. External Foundation servers conflicted this fact, showing that all standard and planned communication between Site 19 and the rest of the Foundation proceeded as normal. All staff both within Site 19 and the rest of the Foundation experienced no abnormalities related to this event and investigation into the causes and any occurrences during that week are ongoing.

Interview 1:

Date: 10 July, 2018

Interviewer: Dr. ███████
Interviewed: SCP 5000-1

Forenote: The first interview of D-6547 after Incident 5000-1A. Dr. ███████ entered after Site 19 had finished its sweep.

Begin Log: 08:50

Dr. ███████: Alright D-6547, you have some explaining to do. For starters, how did you manage to obtain (looks through folder) SCP 2200-1?
SCP 5000-1: Silence. SCP 5000-1 has not blinked since being placed in the room, and has remained nonreactive to any of Dr. ███████'s actions.
Dr. ███████: You're going to tell me, one way or another D-6547. Might I remind you that having sanitation duties is considered a privilege among D-class, knowing just how many anomalies could kill them in an instant. That will all change for you if you don't cooperate.
SCP 5000-1: Silence.
Dr. ███████: Alright then, I'll see to it that you're put on one of the… (Dr. ███████ trails off as SCP 5000-1 shifts its gaze to look directly at him. After thirty seconds of this, Dr. ███████ hastily stands and leaves the room.)

End Log

Closing Statements: Dr. ███████ was questioned on his sudden ending of the interview. Dr. ███████, showing some signs of distraught, commented that "I couldn't look at him. He's not like us." When asked to elaborate, Dr. ███████ concluded "He is the Silent Warrior."

+ Show Addendum 1

Addendum 1: Below are all noteworthy shifts SCP 5000-2 has undergone since containment.
> On 13 August 2018, SCP 5000-2 changed into SCP 093. Due to the lack of reflective SCP 5000-2 was able to roll along the ground, gaining sufficient momentum to break through the hanger walls. While staff with knowledge of SCP 093 attempted using mirrors or their own hands to capture SCP 093, the object ignored its typical behavior and went straight towards SCP 5000-1. Before MTF Pi-15 could enter SCP-5000-1's cell, the subject obtained SCP 5000-2 and held it against the mirror in its cell to enter the parallel universe SCP 093 can access. The subject successfully escaped and was not recontained until MTF Pi-15 encountered the subject nearly two months later in Portland, Oregon. SCP 5000-2 had shifted once more, taking the form of an unknown type of energy weapon. The subject was subdued via tranquilizer dart and returned to containment. Investigation into the aftermath found that SCP 5000-1 had destroyed a previously unknown anomaly using SCP 5000-2.

Researcher's Note: Through the duration that SCP 5000-2 presumably assumed the form of SCP 093, SCP 093 had been reported missing. It was found in its containment cell thirteen days later. I guess that means SCP 5000-2 can teleport objects then?

> On 5 December, 2018, SCP 5000-2 shifted to become SCP 682 in the state it was in at that time. The being rapidly breach the containment cell, with MTF Pi-15 being ill-equipped to do significant damage to the creature. After breaching SCP 5000-1's cell, the creature proceeded to stare at SCP 5000-1 for thirty seconds before the subject stood and followed it from the site. MTF Pi-15 managed to track SCP 5000 to ███████, a city thirty miles south of Site 19. SCP 5000-2 had shifted again to a hand held stop sign, which SCP 5000-1 was using to guide school children across the road. The task force attempted to capture the subject, but found that they were unable to act as the stop side of the sign faced them. After twenty more minutes, during which the last of the children had crossed, SCP 5000-1 lowered the sign and was summarily captured.

Researcher's Note: SCP 682 was reported missing for five hours at the time of SCP 5000's breach. After reappearing in its cell, researchers interviewed SCP 682. While most of their questions were responded to with threats, upon being asked whether it knew where it had been or what it had done during the incident, SCP 682 responded "The Silent Warrior needs no answer. He is the answer." Attempts to have SCP 682 elaborate resulted in a rage state, ending the interview. So it seems that either SCP 5000-1 or SCP 5000-2 has an amnestic property that keeps sentient subjects from remembering anything of the SCP 5000 event, save some vague comment. This might be good, as otherwise dangerous anomalies might have knowledge of Site 19's layout and defenses. On a more grim note, it appears SCP 5000-1 has gained some of SCP 682's regenerative abilities, as all damage dealt to SCP 5000-1 during recontainment was healed before agents even reached Site 19.
-Senior Researcher Horton

> On 24 April, 2019, SCP 5000-1 breached containment using a previously unknown mimetic ability to convince the guards that it had already escaped. The subject proceeded through Site 19 to the Keter containment wing, where it was shortly joined by SCP 5000-2 in the form of SCP 2501. Of particular note is that the former agent ███████ had been involved in the original transfer of the SCP 2501 from the custody of Marshal, Carter, and Dark, and that MTF Zeta-9 (Mole Rats) were presently transferring SCP 606 to Site 19. SCP 5000-1 used SCP 5000-2 to collapse the entry to SCP 606's containment cell, preventing MTF from accessing the cell for fifteen minutes. Video inside the cell shows SCP 5000 approaching SCP 606, which identifies itself as The Teacher and offers to teach SCP 5000. SCP 5000 does not respond, instead using the SCP 2501 manifestation to 'crush' SCP 606. The entity appeared to suffer during this procedure and continues to plead with SCP 5000-1 that it is unaware of whatever information SCP 5000 is searching for. After ten minutes, SCP 606 had grown too small to be detected and is now considered neutralized. Approximately five minutes later, members of the Mole Rats and Brother's Keeper gained access to the cell, during which an unofficial interview occurred between Agent Donelly of Zeta-9 and SCP 5000-1. SCP 5000-1 relinquished SCP 5000-2 to MTF agents and was recontained. A transcript is provided under Interview 2.

Researcher's Note: First, it appears that SCP 5000-1 has either gained or simply hidden another anomalous ability, likely telepathic communication, as SCP 606 seemed to be in conversation with the subject. Further testing is recommended. Second, it is now very clear that SCP 5000 has an ability to locate and reach other anomalous objects, despite a wide variety of defenses. Discovering how SCP 5000 obtains this information and uses it to change SCP 5000-2's form is of utmost importance.Finally, this is the third successful breach of both SCP 5000-1 and 5000-2, so I am recommending that SCP 5000 is reclassified as Keter until we can learn more about what happened to Site 19 and D-6547.

Interview 2:

Date: 24 April, 2019

Interviewed: SCP 5000-1
Interviewer: Agent Donelly, MTF Zeta-9

Forenote: The following interview was conducted by Agent Donelly after a containment breach involving SCP 5000.

Begin Log: 12:34

Agent Donelly: ███████, is that you? Man, what happened to you?
SCP 5000-1: Silence. Subject turns to face the MTF agents.
Agent McGregor: Stand down Donelly, he's SCP 5000-1 now.
Agent Donelly: Right. (Agent Donelly stops as he stares at SCP 5000-1. After a few seconds, Agent Donelly askes) Is ███████ still in there?
SCP 5000-1: SCP 5000-1 begins to shake its head in the negative, then stops to shrug.

End Log

Closing Statements: This is the first known incident in which SCP 5000-1 has communicated in any way with Foundation personell. I want Agent Donelly to conduct another interview, but it will require the Site director's approval. In any case, this shows that Agent ███████ may still have some consciousness in SCP 5000-1 and possibly even a level of control. If we can use this, we may be able to permanently contain SCP 5000
-Senior Researcher Horton

+ Show Addendum 2

Addendum 2: After numerous more containment breaches, there has been no success using Agent Donelly or any other methods to extract information from SCP 5000-1. As of 30 December 2019, SCP 5000 has been attributed to the destruction or damage of five Keter, two Euclid, and two Safe anomalies in the Foundation's custody. In addition, SCP 5000's erratic behavior has increased, from seemingly benign actions such as riding several forms of mass transit before returning to containment to breaching SCP 507's cell to travel to other universes. Despite this, staff assigned to attempt communicating with SCP 5000-1 report that it seems to be mission-oriented. As reported by Dr. ███████ after his first interview with SCP 5000-1 "It has an iron focus, greater than even the most disciplined monk."Because of the great collateral damage caused by SCP 5000, the risk it poses to containing and protecting anomalies, and the lack of any solid information regarding SCP 5000, a request is pending for its termination.

Interview 3:

Date: 6 January 2020

Interviewed: SCP 5000-1
Interviewer: Senior Researcher Horton

Forenote: The following interview took place after the recontainment of SCP 5000-1. The breach resulted in the deaths of seven personell and two civilians.

Begin Log: 15:23

Researcher Horton: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've given up on you. I don't understand what you are… why you are. Are you just insane? Why would you start killing people now?
SCP 5000-1 No response
Researcher Horton:(sigh) And supposing you're no longer Agent ███████, just a being using him as a puppet, what's the point. You kill a nasty one day and feed pigeons in the park the next. I guess what I'm getting at is what are you trying to accomplish?
SCP 5000-1 Subject looks directly at Senior Researcher Horton. Unlike most incidents where this occurs, Researcher Horton shows no signs of concern, although he has balled his fist under the table.
Researcher Horton: What's your mission ███████? (Researcher Horton has stood and leaned over the table, bringing himself within a foot of SCP 5000-1's face. Security is called to escort him from the interview room.)
SCP 5000-1 To find the first of my kind. The one called 001.
Researcher Horton: (Researcher Horton remains silent for over a full minute. Security are ordered to hold position outside.) And what do you intend to do if you find SCP 001?
SCP 5000-1 Silence, although a slight smile is visible for approximately three seconds.
