Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

latest?cb=20161009044836&format=original

SCP-XXXX as photographed by MTF-Gamma-5 on intial query into the area.

Special Containment Procedures: The designated perimeter of 5km is to be maintained around the entrance to SCP-XXXX at all times, this area hereafter known as Area-392 is to be covered up as an active mining area. In the event that a civilian is to arrive at Area-392, they should be administered with Class-C Amnestics before being sent away.

In the event that Area-392, or the Foundation’s control over the area is compromised, a blockade around the entrance to SCP-XXXX is to be installed, therefore preventing civilian access. A cover story of a collapsed mineshaft will be implemented into local newspapers.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a cave system located in [REDACTED] and is known to have reality warping properties.[[footnote Proposals that SCP-XXXX possesses memory altering qualities have been rejected following mechanical observation and recordings which were not conflicting with MTF-Gamma-5's recollections of their expeditions - Senior Researcher Smith. [[/footnote The unusual seismic activity in the area is believed to stem from the reactions of the surrounding structures, not from the actual changes in SCP-XXXX’s structure, as the changes within SCP-XXXX encompass a larger area and would thusly result in different, more violent reactions.

The area came into the attention of the Foundation following the disappearance of multiple civilians at a popular local attraction. After a refusal by the owners to elaborate on how this happened to multiple experienced cavers and a seismic analysis[[footnote The area exhibited unusual seismic activity. The area is not on a plate border and activity of this sort was therefore impossible. [of the surrounding area, the foundation acquired the attraction and established control of Area-392. Members of the public with knowledge of SCP-XXXX were taken in for questioning, before being administered with amnestics. The only known member of the public to have escaped SCP-XXXX after being declared missing is [REDACTED. Much early information about SCP-XXXX was taken from the subject's journal. (See LOG-XXXX-01)

SCP-XXXX is a cave system that appears under seismic analysis, to occupy a space of approximately 3km, but has been shown to extend much farther than this estimate whilst still only occupying this space. The predicted size is suggested by the seismic analysis performed on initial query into the area, but expeditions performed by MTF-Gamma-5 have ventured as far as 30km from the entry point. SCP-XXXX exhibits its anomalous properties when ventured into any further than 1 km from the entrance hereafter known as the “normal zone”.

Every expedition past the “normal zone” is invariably different from the last. It is currently unknown if there is any real pattern to the changes in SCP-XXXX’s structure and ongoing research suggests against any patterns. Evidence suggests against the presence of any lifeforms within SCP-XXXX beyond the bacterium and moss expected to be found within such cave systems, however, journal entries recovered from [REDACTED] upon his escape make reference to bodies of water and fish. This suggests that SCP-XXXX itself does not directly threaten the lives of anything inside it. Note also that these lifeforms seem to gain sustenance on the light emitted from fluorescent rocks within SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX demonstrates awareness of when it is being observed, as its structure will remain unchanging during observation. This only applies to direct human observation, that is, live observation by a human. SCP-XXXX will also repair its structure if not observed, even if there are no other apparent changes. SCP-XXXX will also remove any foreign items[[footnote Note that living tissue is not considered foreign. [[/footnote during restructuring, this includes but is not limited to:

Drones
Tethers
Tools
Food

This makes remote observation a must, as very few recording attempts have been successful. Changes in SCP-XXXX's structure can eliminate a direct route from the entrance to any point within the cave system and as such, all expeditions are required to have full mining equipment. Any such restructurings will also cut off communications with the outside. These properties have spawned theories as to SCP-XXXX's nature. (See Addendum)

Addendum-XXXX-01
Following tests which revealed SCP-XXXX's properties, there have been suggestions that SCP-XXXX possesses a predatory nature. Whilst not proven, these theories are generally accepted, as its properties make escape near-impossible for any untrained or unprepared individuals. These theories postulate that SCP-XXXX doesn't change it's structure when under sufficient human observation to goad subjects into a false sense of security before trapping them.[[footnote Suggestions that SCP-XXXX's predatory nature warrants destructive action from the foundation are not well founded. The foundation's purpose is to contain these items, not destroy them - O5-██[[/footnote

Following the escape of [REDACTED] the relevant pages of his journal were removed and studied. Subject was questioned and issued with Class-A Amnestics before being released under cover of a psychotic episode. Subject had developed bipolar disorder and depression during his expedition and was extremely malnourished when he exited SCP-XXXX.

June 5th 20██
I'm finally here! Hello [REDACTED]. Apparently there's an amazing cave system around these parts too. I can't wait to see it. I think I'll bring my full kit, make sure I can get all the way in. I'm tired though… Flights don't agree with me, so G'night.

June 6th 20██
It's as amazing as I hoped, even better actually. I've decided to stay overnight because I still haven't made it very far in. Apparently no one has ever fully explored this cave. Well then, challenge accepted; I dub this challenge to be "the ultimate exploration". I just hope I don't get lost, but like that's going to happen; I haven't gotten lost in years and I left a trail of pebble piles behind me. See you tomorrow!

June 7th 20██
Whew! What a day! I think I've been going deeper and deeper all day today. I still don't think I've made it all the way though. This thing is massive though: I think I've gone at least 50 kilometres from the entrance. It was weird though, I could have sworn that the paths down from my last camp were different. It's probably just my imagination though. I'll try to make it to the end tomorrow.

June 8th 20██
How goddamn big is this cave? I've been going three days now and if it takes much longer, I won't have enough food to get back… On another note, I was able to find a freshwater pond. There are fish living there, but I have no clue if they're edible or how to hunt them. I think I'll set up camp here for now. I think that "the ultimate exploration" will have to be put on hold, maybe I'll call this new challenge of getting out of the cave "the ultimate test of survival". Nah, I'll come up with something catchier tomorrow.

June 9th 20██
I don't know what happened. Am I imagining this? No I can't be. The way I came in is gone! The cave actually fucking changed! My exit just went poof into thin air. I'm trapped now and I suddenly understand why no one tries to get this far. I need to get these fish and make my way back as fast as possible. I'll make circles instead of piles with the pebbles now. I hope to god I don't die in here.

June 10th 20██
I caught a fish and packed up. I'll take the other path then, now that my original way out is gone. Hopefully it connects to the branching path a while back… Being all alone down here has really given me time to reflect on why I came down here and that really helped me to calm down. Regardless of if I die here, I kinda think it's impossible for me to lose my shit down here. I don't even know if that's a good thing, but every time I stop thinking and just look around, I'm calmed down and I'm able to actually reflect. Even if I die here, I can't deny the beauty of this place: Heck, if it can actually change then it's infinitely beautiful and dying by that beauty, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

June 11th 20██*
I honestly tried for hours, but I can't find a way out. I swear that this is **was the branching path from just before the pond, but once again, the exit is gone. Just like it never existed. I haven't found any of my pebble piles and I can't think of any way to get back. Hmm, you know they say suicide is never the answer but… yeah… I'd say I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place! If anyone ever reads this you better be laughing. It took me ten minutes to come up with that one. And then I laughed for twenty.

June 12th 20██
I tunneled my way to where I thought the rest of the way I came down should be, but it's not. I'm going to die here…

June 13th 20██
I'm dehydrated, I'm hungry. I think that this might be it. I have to keep going, but I don't know how. Or why. I don't even have any family. The caves are my family, why not die with them? I, why won't I just die? I think, if I ever make it out of here, I'm gonna treat myself and listen to some rock and roll! Hey, I tried ok, it's hard to do stand-up. This seriously might be it, but I can see a light.

June 14th 20██
I *sigh* why did I even bother getting more fish. It was a loop. A fucking loop. Why? How? WHAT THE FUCK? Why did I keep on going? I don't know how I can get out of here. Is it even possible to escape this hellhole? I managed to screw up the screw up. How do I even, what am I doing?

June 15th 20██
I have to make it. I can, I will make it!

June 16th 20██
I can do this! I rock! Get it, rock! Ahahahahahhahahhaha [this goes on over two pages]
[UNINTELLIGIBLE SCRIBBLES]

June 17th 20██
I need to [UNINTELLIGIBLE SCRIBBLES]

June 18th 20██
This will be the last time I write this. Why am I even writing this, I'll never escape. I'm stuck between a ROCK and a hard place. Hehe, still funny. But this is doable, it must be. This time I'm taking every chance. I think I can do it if I try harder. Hahahaha. NO I CAN'T. YES I CAN. NO. YES. WHY NOT? HOW? WILL? No. It's random. That's it! I've tried to be logical. But I would only end up backtracking and playing it safe. I need to be random. No. Yes. NO. YES. You have to stay safe. You can't escape if you do. You need to take the leap! But if you do you're gonna die!

Old Draft Idea

– hide block

Current Draft: SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 10m x 10m 10m stone room, atop a pedestal which is engraved with the Hebrew phrase “שאלוהים ירחם”, translated as “may god have mercy”. The pedestal is to be removed from under SCP-XXXX and ritually soaked in the blood of a goat once a week and at least 10 other large mammals are to be ritually sacrificed within its chamber every month.

Due to it's destructive potential, SCP-XXXX is to be guarded at all times by a team of highly trained personnel, each with expertise in the use of various firearms they are provided, that have been blessed by the on-site priest. In the exceptional event of a containment breach, Mobile Task Force Zeta 0 “Godslayers” is to be immediately pulled from any existing mission, whether or not it is considered a high priority, that they may be engaged in and are to retrieve and prevent damage to SCP-XXXX. Exceptional care should be taken to ensure that a breach resulting in the deployment of MTF-Zeta-0 is not necessary.

In the event that MTF-Zeta-0 should prove unsuccessful in retrieving SCP-XXXX, preparations for an XK-Class End of the World Scenario should be undertaken, along with additional measures taken before a potential ZK-Class Reality Failure Event.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an ancient artifact sealed within a small box that was initially discovered on [REDACTED] by ████████████, otherwise known as “The Founder”. While the precise origin of SCP-XXXX cannot be discerned at this time, it is believed to have been created by the ancient Israelites under the orders of their "god". The Founder described the artifact as being nothing more than a spherical piece of stone, apparently made of two halves that were joined together.

SCP-XXXX is believed to be linked to any and all forms of Armageddon as preached by groups of theists, otherwise known as religions. Particularly, it is believed to be integral to the instigation of doomsday, as portrayed in Christianity and Islam. Following the discovery of SCP-XXXX and with its relation to religion, it was presented at private meetings to multiple religious leaders, who all preached of SCP-XXXX's importance with regards to bringing about doomsday and judgement. It is postulated, based on the remarks made during these meetings, that if SCP-XXXX was left purely uncontained, it would eventually be used to trigger some form of Armageddon, this event hereafter known as XXXX-Ω.

If XXXX-Ω ever happens, the predictions put in place by world religion suggest that it would result in the end of human civilisation.

The prevention of XXXX-Ω is the imperative of The Foundation.

Addendum XXXX-A
On 14/██/████ a transmission of unknown origin was received at Site ██. The Foundation proved unable to retrace the transmission to any defined location, although the cipher used to encode the message matches those used by The Foundation itself.

The following extract is taken from the transcript received at Site ██
14th [REDACTED]
Site ██
We the Society of Light, hold the inexorable truth of Yahwey to be at the heart of our meaning.

Those who call themselves righteous in their endless pursuit to maintain humanity's corrupt, imperfect society shall soon face the judgement of god.
This so-called Foundation is impure.
This so-called Foundation is unclean.
This so-called Foundation is [UNINTELLIGIBLE].
You will be seeing us soon.
You will be seeing him soon.

Addendum XXXX-B
After multiple attempted break-ins at Site ██, it is clear that the religious leaders, previously interviewed about SCP-XXXX are now attempting to release it, causing Armageddon. As a result, on-site security is to be made stricter and all theistic personnel are to be removed and administered Class-A amnestics. While multiple of these leaders have been apprehended and issued with amnestics, former Pope ████████ and former Grand Imam ████████ went missing and were declared dead before The Foundation succeeded in apprehending them. It is believed that the continued attempts to steal SCP-XXXX are being carried out under the orders of these individuals.

Under order of O5 Command
All Mobile Task Forces not already engaged in a high priority mission are to report to Site ██ in preparation for a potential siege on SCP-XXXX. MTF-Alpha-1 has been dispatched on a mission to assassinate former Pope ████████ and former Grand Imam ████████. All personnel who are religious, or score less than 100 on The Foundation’s Psychological Resilience Scale will be treated as hostiles if found approaching Site ██.
There will be zero tolerance for insubordination regarding these orders.

Addendum XXXX-Ω

Look, we get it, you're curious, but once you read this, you won't be allowed to be administered amnestics.

That'll be your punishment, knowing the truth of it all.

We hoped to keep this a secret from the rest of the Foundation, because it's perhaps the worst discovery the Foundation has every made.

But in our final attempt to stop you, we shall only tell you how to find the truth.
And that truth is a message written in blood

Current Draft SCP-XXXX: What is the meaning of it all?

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Keter

Special Containment Procedures: At this time, effective containment of SCP-XXXX has proved to be impossible, however much of the effects of SCP-XXXX can be mitigated by The Foundation. The effects of SCP-XXXX, are to be be combated, via the following methods:

Publishing of fake research, attesting to the natural causes of SCP-XXXX
Creation of popular media on the subject of SCP-XXXX
Teaching of SCP-XXXX in schools
Pushing religious ideals onto the public

These methods attempt to employ a plasibo effect that would counter SCP-XXXX's mind-altering properties.

In the event that SCP-XXXX comes to affect over 20% of the population, The Foundation will begin the use of widespread amnestics and restructuring of society around religion.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an infectious, mind-altering ideology known to the public as "nihilism". This ideology states that all life is meaningless and of no consequence. It commonly surfaces as a result of interactions with an individual under the effects of SCP-XXXX, however it may also manifest seemingly at random, with afflicted subjects claiming they experienced an "epiphany".

SCP-XXXX has a higher likelihood of manifesting in non-religious persons and lonely people. In most observed cases, symptoms do not emerge immediately, taking an arbitrary amount of time before manifesting within those afflicted.

Individuals affected by SCP-XXXX exhibit a subset of the following symptoms:

Depression
Suicidal Tendencies
Aggression
Short-Temper
Hyper-Sensitivity
Short Attention-Span

SCP-XXXX's effects surface and disappear at seemingly random intervals. Investigation into correlation between SCP-XXXX's effects and any external stimuli are ongoing.
