Both embedded and external Foundation forces are to monitor UIU activities for suspected deployments of SCP-XXXX. Should a deployment be confirmed, Foundation agents are to remotely monitor the event. No further actions are required or encouraged, as SCP-XXXX has been observed to have a positive effect on the maintenance of the veil and the disruption of rival GOIs.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are various objects identifying a person as a UIU agent. These include badges, uniforms, IDs and items bearing the UIU crest. SCP-XXXX-1 instances only appear to be functional when both in possession of a UIU agent and are clearly visible to those in the surrounding area.
While the effects of SCP-XXXX-2 are not entirely understood, it is known that people under its effects have a significantly more relaxed reaction to threats, typically treating them nonchalantly or perceiving them as harmless or unimportant. In cases where the affected subject attempts to react to the threat, they treat the threat as easy to overcome and in many cases succumb to it as a result. Other theorized effects of SCP-XXXX-2 include:
SCP-XXXX-2 can be resisted by basic memetic resistance training, however this training only appears to be effective if a subject actively resists SCP-XXXX-2 prior to being affected by it. Amnesticisation has been shown to remove SCP-XXXX-2's influence but does not prevent being affected upon re-exposure.
SCP-XXXX-2 does not appear to affect members of the UIU.
Notes: The following is composed of footage recovered from a surveillance camera present during the apprehension of PoI-14453 ('Salami Joe') by the UIU. The transcript takes place in front of a newsagent following the PoI's attempted escape from the scene of the UIU sting operation responsible for the arrest of GoI-571 ('The Pizza Boys').
[BEGIN LOG]
PoI-14453 enters the frame running, panting and visibly exhausted. Subject stops running momentarily, attempting to catch their breath.
PoI-14453: (Pant Pant) I think (Wheezes) I lost them.
Agent Douglas Jameson of the UIU enters the frame. Subject is holding a taser and is slowly advancing on PoI-14453 while pointing it towards him. Agent Jameson does not appear to be tired.
Agent Jameson: No you didn't. Now put your hands on your head, you're under arrest.
PoI-14453 slowly turns around, pulling a pistol from their jacket as they do so. They point it at Agent Jameson.
PoI-14453: Stay back!
Agent Jameson: Put that down, we don't want anyone to get hurt. I promise that if you are co-operative we will be more lenient with you.
PoI-14453: You'll just stick me in a cell somewhere and experiment on me!
Agent Jameson: We don't 'experiment' on people, we simply arrest and humanely sentence them. We're officers not scientists.
PoI-14453: Officers? Wait a second…
PoI-14453 squints, apparently noticing the badge on Agent Jameson's jacket. PoI-14453 visibly relaxes.
PoI-14453: You're UIU! I was actually worried there for a bit. I thought you were Foundation.
Agent Jameson: Foundation or not, I'm still perfectly capable of arresting you. Put the gun down.
PoI-14453: Yeah right. You guys couldn't arrest a paper bag, let alone me. I'll just walk right out of here.
Agent Jameson: We have a barricade set up, you know.
PoI-14453: Yeah, A UIU barricade. I could probably get through it by wearing a paper hat and pretending to speak French. Hell, I could probably shoot a few guys on my way out and steal a car!
Agent Jameson: Are you confessing to planning murder? You realise I'm still pointing a taser at you.
PoI-14453: Yeah right, you'll probably just shoot yourself in the foot or something.
PoI-14453 lowers his gun and attempts to walk away. They accidently discharge their gun, narrowly missing their foot.
PoI-14453: See? You missed me!
Agent Jameson: That wasn't… forget it. If you continue to resist arrest I will have to take action.
PoI-14453: If that action involves you going away, be my guest.
PoI-14453 throws their gun at Agent Jameson. It misses.
Agent Jameson: Thank you for disarming yourself. Now if you could just…
PoI-14453: Fuck off.
PoI-14453 attempts to physically engage Agent Jameson. They are pinned to a wall and handcuffed almost immediately, before being escorted to the nearby unit car.

Addendum 2: Foundation Replication
Following initial discovery and analysis of SCP-XXXX, it was judged that its use could prove highly valuable in field missions by Foundation operatives. An official request was sent to the UIU asking for the disclosure of the source and/or methods of creation of SCP-XXXX, claiming that cooperation in the matter would be mutually beneficial to both parties.
In response the UIU sent a large amount of documentation detailing the creation and use of SCP-XXXX. Said documentation claimed that SCP-XXXX was originally created following consultation with the ICSUT and the use of several memetic anomalies under the UIU's control.
According to the received documentation, SCP-XXXX functions via amplification of a specific concept within the minds of those in proximity to a ritual focus object. This supposedly has the effect of both exaggerating the affected person's perception of things associated with the concept, to the point of ignoring other associated concepts entirely, as well as imparting a corresponding effect on the behavior of the affected. The documentation claims that by utilizing an appropriate focus object and certain methods of memetic, thaumatergic and conceptual engineering, these effects could be both induced and targeted.
Given the events of INCIDENT-XXXX-1, these claims are believed to be false. It is currently theorized that the entirety of SCP-XXXX was given to the UIU by a third party. The method of operation of SCP-XXXX remains unknown. Following INCIDENT-XXXX-2 and further UIU consultation these claims are believed to be trustworthy. The method detailed above is the current working theory on the operation of SCP-XXXX and is pending confirmation by the appropriate departments.
Included in the documentation were instructions for the creation of SCP-XXXX-1 instances capable of being used by Foundation operatives, designed to fit into pre-existing conceptual framework. Objects that identify people as a Foundation agent were stated to be required for this purpose. A warning was attached that claimed that SCP-XXXX may not work as efficiently due to its design for UIU agents, however attempts at recreation were decided to proceed regardless.
Preliminary Foundation testing is detailed below:
Experiment XXXX-1
Procedure: A Foundation security guard equipped with a SCP-XXXX-1 instance was instructed to approach an unarmed D-class and render them unconscious.
Result: The D-class was successfully knocked unconscious via blunt force impact with a riot stick.
Notes: The D-class did not initially exhibit resistance, only reacting upon application of force. We will now begin testing SCP-XXXX's effectiveness in larger-scale scenarios.
Experiment XXXX-2
Procedure: A standard Foundation security team equipped with SCP-XXXX-1 instances were instructed to apprehend a group of D-class.
Result: All D-class were successfully subdued with only minor injuries sustained.
Notes: Many of the D-class expressed confusion and surprise upon the initiation of the test, claiming that they did not expect the Foundation security team to attack them while waiting for testing.
[Extraneous Logs Removed]
Experiment XXXX-7
Procedure: A group of D-class were placed inside a fortified position and were instructed to hold off threats. A standard Foundation security team equipped with SCP-XXXX-1 instances was then deployed to subdue them.
Result: All D-class were successfully subdued after allowing the team beyond the fortifications.
Notes: The D-class did not seem to react aggressively to the team's approach at any point, presumably due lack of perceived threat. Several D-class were noted to ask when the test would start.
[Extraneous Logs Removed]
Experiment XXXX-11
Procedure: A D-class was placed in an elevated position, given a firearm and instructed to fire on anyone who approached. Security members equipped with SCP-XXXX-1 instances were then deployed to apprehend them.
Result: The D-class was noted to miss all shots and was apprehended without further resistance.
Notes: The D-class appeared nervous during the test and seemed to purposefully jerk the gun to the side while firing.
[Extraneous Logs Removed]
Experiment XXXX-20
Procedure: A group of D-class were placed in a fortified, elevated position and equipped with a large variety of firearms. They were furthermore informed of the nature of the test and provided with an abridged version of the SCP-XXXX file and testing log, before being instructed to defend against any and all people who approached, including Foundation agents. A lightly-armed standard Foundation security team was then instructed to walk towards the D-class in plain view and attempt to subdue them.
Result: Upon seeing the team, all D-class abandoned their firearms, exited the fortification, sat down in the path of the security team and closed their eyes.
Notes: Follow-up interviews suggested that the D-class were so confident in their ability to succeed that they decided to immediately surrender. Several D-class asked whether further testing was required and if their test results had been outside the expected.
Following the successful use of SCP-XXXX in preliminary trials, it has been was approved for Foundation field use.
Addendum 3: INCIDENT-XXXX-1
SCP-XXXX was deployed against a newly discovered hideout of GoI-832 ('Clark's revenge'), located in a abandoned factory. While SCP-XXXX had proven to be effective in trials it was decided not to rely on it fully, instead utilizing a standard pincer movement in order to surprise, surround and detain all members. MTF Pi-1 ("City Slickers") was deployed to the scene and were equipped with SCP-XXXX-1 instances as insurance.
Immediately upon spotting the task force, members of GoI-832 began a coordinated pattern of small arms fire that forced members of MTF Pi-1 to take cover behind several pieces of abandoned machinery. Members of GoI-832 then proceeded to begin throwing explosive grenades and tear gas canisters at MTF Pi-1's cover, severely wounding several of it's members.
Simultaneously, the second group of MTF members were ambushed by members of GoI-832 as they approached the base from behind. Following a brief firefight the group was forced to surrender and were subsequently disarmed, brought inside the base and restrained. The majority of the group was rendered unconscious.
The reason that SCP-XXXX had no effect had a different effect than anticipated upon the members of GoI-832 is unknown believed to be due to the findings detailed in Addendum 6.
Notes: The following is composed of footage recovered from the bodycam of MTF Pi-1 member Charlie, taking place following the successful repulsion of the remaining MTF Pi-1 members by GoI-832.
[BEGIN LOG]
MTF Pi-1 member Charlie is kneeling on the floor of the factory occupied by GoI-832. Several GoI-832 members are pointing guns at Charlie and other members of MTF Pi-1. Other members are visible patrolling the catwalks of the factory, monitoring the surroundings. A member of GoI-832 (henceforth referred to as PoI-832-1) is questioning Charlie.
PoI-832-1: I'll ask you again. How did you find us?
Charlie: I'll never tell.
PoI-832-1 shoots MTF member Delta, who is retained next to Charlie, in the leg.
Charlie: Why did you do that?
PoI-832-1: You have a choice, you tell us how you found us or I start crippling your friend here.
Charlie: I'm just a MTF member! They don't tell us that sort of stuff!
PoI-832-1: Pity.
PoI-832-1 shoots Delta in the head, killing them.
Charlie: Why are you doing this? How did you capture us?
PoI-832-1: You're the Foundation, you geniuses can probably figure it out. You're cruel so we're cruel.
Charlie: Isn't your goal to seek justice or something?
PoI-832-1: Our goals are flexible. Now, we're going to knock you unconscious and hold you hostage as we escape. Who's the jailer now?
A knock is audible from the front door of the factory.
Unknown: Pizza delivery!
PoI-832-1 appears confused.
PoI-832-1: (Shouted to the PoI-832 members along the catwalk) Shoot them!
PoI-832-2: (From catwalk) But it's pizza!
PoI-832-1: How did they even get to the door?
PoI-832-2: We spotted them approaching, but after we saw who they were, we decided they weren't a threat. Also, they had pizza.
PoI-832-1: What? (To other nearby members) This could a Foundation ploy. Guard the hostages and remain on alert.
PoI-832-1 crosses the room and open the door from which the knocking was hear, revealing a person holding a pizza box. PoI-832-1 and several other members of GoI-832 point their guns at the figure.
Unknown: Do you want the pizza or not?
PoI-832-1: We didn't order pizza. Who are you?
Unknown: Just someone trying to make a bit of extra money.
PoI-832-1 apparently noticing something, suddenly viably relaxes. The remainder of the GoI-832 members follow suit several seconds after, apparently noticing the same thing.
PoI-832-1: Well I guess you have to, since you're so bad at your regular job.
Unknown: Could you lower the guns? We don't want to ruin the pizza with unnecessary gunfire.
PoI-832-1:(Lowering gun) True. How much for the pizza?
Unknown: Several hostages, multiple criminals and a buttload of illegal weaponry and drugs.
The figure drops the pizza box and produces a taser, which they then procced to use on PoI-832-1. The remainder of nearby members are incapacitated via flashbang.
Simultaneously, a loud crashing can be heard from the rear of the factory. Several other figures are seen to engage members of GoI-832.
The figure at the door, following the restraint of the GoI-832 in the immediate area approaches the hostages. A clear view of them reveals that they are a UIU agent.
UIU agent: Are you alright?
[END LOG]
Following the retreat of MTF Pi-1, a UIU dispatch in the area, which was monitoring GoI-832, decided to attack the GoI-832 base to prevent further hostage casualties. Armed with SCP-XXXX-1 instances, one member was send to provided a distraction while the remainder approached the base from behind. Following the operation all GoI-832 members present were successfully apprehended with no UIU casualties. The Pi-1 members were taken to the nearby UIU compound for questioning and release back to the Foundation.
Addendum 4: INCIDENT-XXXX-2
Following INCIDENT-XXXX-1 several members of MTF Pi-1 were allowed to make contact with their superiors while in temporary UIU custody. Said members expressed extreme discomfort and annoyance at that fact that they were in UIU custody and requested assistance. It was decided by site staff that, due to the false information given by the UIU and the ease at which it would be capable of initializing such an operation, the best course of action would be to assault the UIU compound in order to rescue the Pi-1 members and confiscate information on SCP-XXXX.
Attempts at assault and/or infiltration of the UIU compound are detailed below:
Attempt 1
Procedure: An unarmed D-class personnel was instructed to enter the UIU compound and initiate a hostile takeover.
Result: The D-class was apprehended and taken inside the compound upon being spotted. Contact with them was subsequently lost.
Notes: More resources may be required for a successful takeover, given the sheer number of UIU members in the base.
[Extraneous Logs Removed]
Attempt 6
Procedure: A group of 10 D-class personnel armed with assault rifles were instructed to enter the UIU compound and initiate a hostile takeover.
Result: All D-class were apprehended and disarmed following use of a tear gas canister and were taken inside the compound. Contact with them was subsequently lost.
Notes: Given the failure of firearms, alternative approaches may be required.
[Extraneous Logs Removed]
Attempt 9
Procedure: A D-class personnel was disguised as a pizza delivery person and was instructed to enter the UIU compound and initiate a hostile takeover.
Result: The D-class was successfully able to approach the compound, but was apprehended upon reaching the compound. Contact with them was subsequently lost. The pizza was not recovered.
Notes: Given the failure of subterfuge, more direct approaches may be required.
[Extraneous Logs Removed]
Attempt 14
Procedure: A group of 10 D-class personnel that had previously gone through basic firearm and memetic resistance training were armed with assault rifles, rocket launchers and grenades and were instructed to enter the UIU compound and initiate a hostile takeover.
Result: The group of D-class, immediately following their deployment, attacked the Foundation personnel stationed for supervision. Multiple casualties were sustained before the attack was halted by several UIU agents that exited the compound and subdued the hostiles following an extended firefight. All D-class and other Foundation personnel present were apprehended, disarmed and taken inside the compound, along with all equipment present. Contact with them was subsequently lost, however a message was sent from the UIU compound requesting the cessation of hostile action. This was ignored.
Notes: Following these further acts of UIU aggression, use of heavy artillery has been approved by the Site director.
Attempt 15
Procedure: The long-range artillery bombing of the UIU compound.
Result: The test was aborted after a message was received from 05 command mandating the cessation of hostile action against the UIU. All personnel on-site were required to undergo scanning for memetic agents.
Notes: See Addendum 5.
Addendum 5: UIU negotiations
Following INCIDENT-XXXX-2 a formal meeting was called by the UIU central office to discuss events and violations to the SUSEOCT. During the meeting the UIU representatives argued that the Foundation had committed multiple SUSEOCT violations, including lack of proper memetic safety measures when dealing with a known memetic anomaly, field deployment of UIU-developed anomaly without UIU consultationand an unprovoked attack against a UIU compound. In return the UIU representative threatened to enforce several penalty clauses of the SUSEOCT which would prohibit or restrict Foundation operations.
It was eventually agreed by both parties that these penalties would not be enforced if several anomalies were turned over to the UIU as compensation and all further activities regarding SCP-XXXX were placed solely under the jurisdiction of the UIU, with any Foundation actions related to SCP-XXXX being placed under UIU supervision. The current containment procedures were subsequently established and SCP-XXXX was reclassified as Argus.
Addendum 6: Additional properties of SCP-XXXX
Further analyses of documentation provided by the UIU revealed information on additional properties of SCP-XXXX and its method of operation. Two notable facts were discovered:
- SCP-XXXX-2 is capable of being spread by an affected individual via any form of communication that successfully convinces another person that aggressive action against the UIU is viable and preferable action.
- The concept that is amplified via the SCP-XXXX process is the general public perception of the organization represented by the SCP-XXXX-1 instances.
Furthermore, no aspect of SCP-XXXX was noted to encourage aggression against the organization using it.
Following these discoveries, further action regarding SCP-XXXX was considered, but decided against by the 05 council. The UIU are not to be informed that the Foundation was unaware of these properties prior to INCIDENT-XXXX-2.
SCP-XXXX (This image is a instance of SCP-XXXX-1 and copying is strictly disallowed).
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter (Provisional)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently in the custody of Wilsons Wildlife Solutions. SCP-XXXX is currently stored in a standard amphibious containment tank. No SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to exist other than the ones stored for archival reasons and the ones produced in testing. SCP-XXXX is to be checked weekly for the continued production of SCP-XXXX-1 instances. SCP-XXXX-2 instances produced in this process are non-anomalous and can be dealt with in any way deemed suitable or convenient.
The resolution of the ongoing informational containment breach is considered and ALPHA class priority.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a [Insert scientific name], otherwise know as a [Insert type of frog]. The frog is non-anomalous other than it's production of SCP-XXXX-1 instances.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances are photos of SCP-XXXX. Any photo taken of SCP-XXXX will result in the production of the exact same photo, pictured above. This occurs regardless of the medium through which a SCP-XXXX-1 is taken, as both physical and digital mediums are affected. The creation of a SCP-XXXX-1 instance does not require SCP-XXXX to be entirely within it, as photos of part of SCP-XXXX or which have SCP-XXXX as part of the background produce the same affect. Any pictures of an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 will result in the creation of another instance of SCP-XXXX-1
Whenever a new instance of SCP-XXXX-1 is created a SCP-XXXX-2 instance appears in the immediate vicinity of the creation. SCP-XXXX-2 instances are otherwise non-anomalous frogs of the same species and general appearance of SCP-XXXX. A SCP-XXXX-2 instance will appear regardless of the process of creation of the corresponding SCP-XXXX-1 instance, as both photos of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 will result in their manifestation, along with the coping of existing SCP-XXXX-1 instances through digital means.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered by GoI-466 (Wilson's Wildlife Solutions) during the routine photography of local environments. While in the process of taking photos of a creek, employees noticed that several of the photos they toke resulted in the production of a picture of a frog (SCP-XXXX). Further photos helped locate SCP-XXXX, resulting in it being taken back to the Wilson's Wildlife Solutions HQ, where SCP-XXXX was kept in a standard frog tank.
Incident SCP-XXXX-A: On ██/██/██ SCP-XXXX was put up for adoption by WWS. At the time the full extent of SCP-XXXX's properties were unknown and was believed to only be capable of the production of SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The few SCP-XXXX-2 instances produced during SCP-XXXX's time in WWS care were attributed to other anomalies. SCP-XXXX was therefore deemed to be a minimal risk to secrecy and passed SCP Foundation adoption approval.
SCP-XXXX was subsequently adopted by George Ashworth, a local resident of Boring, Oregon. In the following week, Ashworth sent a SCP-XXXX-1 instance to his cousin, an amateur Herpetologist. As the message did not contain any anomaly-indicative keywords and the production of SCP-XXXX-1 instances was believed to be the extent of SCP-XXXX's abilities, the photo was allowed to pass through the standard Nexus informational restrictions.
George Ashworth's cousin, Henry Ashworth subsequently discovered the extent of SCP-XXXX's properties. Henry Ashworth was a long time member of the conspiracy theorist site Parawatch and proceeded to post his findings to the site.
The resolution of the informational breach this caused was hindered significantly by both the nature of the anomaly and the nature of the Parawatch community. Cover-up measures are in process.
[[footnoteblock1]]
<Nitro147> Hey just read the idea
13:29 <Nitro147> First off you should know I can't provide official green lights but I can still let you know what I think about it
13:29 <Undercover_Fly> Go ahead.
13:32 <Nitro147> So I really enjoy meta stuff, like a lot, it can lead to really unique ways to play with the reader's perception and even induce horror if done right. Overall the concept you've got does lend itself to that, though I feel like the logical conclusion of the article (implying it could enter our IRL reality and destroy it) was already done by
13:32 <Nitro147> SCP-2747. Now you do have something more unique here in that this 'World-Ender' actually has a personality we can interact with, so I was wondering in what direction you were planning on taking that to make this more unique?
13:34 <Undercover_Fly> Well would ender is a villain. That's like the stereotype responsible for his existence, specifically the 'supervillian' who wants to end the world. As such, what his does is in part an intrinsic quality of him.
13:34 <Undercover_Fly> However, he actually enjoys what he does.
13:36 <Undercover_Fly> He usually destroys fictional worlds in a way he feels 'fitting' or 'poetic' or in a way he enjoys.
13:37 <Undercover_Fly> However, the way he has to move through narratives frustrates him, especially the part where he is first trapped in a narrative within a narrative.
13:38 <Nitro147> Were you planning to write him very seriously or more like a cartoon villain? Cause that could completely change the tone of the article. In one you've got an actual terrifying being that could lead to interesting philosophical questions about destruction. And in the other you've got the Foundation dealing with another creature who thinks they are
13:38 <Nitro147> all that when in reality they are just meh.
13:39 <Undercover_Fly> I am planning to write him very seriously. He may be based of the 'evil for the sake of evil' trope. But he has his own personality and takes pride in his work. He's a bit of an artist in that way.
13:40 <Undercover_Fly> Anyway, throughout the article, his personality progresses.
13:41 <Undercover_Fly> Due to his nature, he always faces minimal to no resistance in worlds he destroys, so he is used to everything being easy for him.
13:43 <Undercover_Fly> However, the Foundation is trying to contain him. He doesn't like that, as usually ascending narrative layers is as easy as destroying worlds for him.
13:43 <Undercover_Fly> Therefore, he starts to get spiteful.
13:44 <Nitro147> Ok, well then I think that for this article to work, you need to focus in on two things. One would be explaining the meta-anomaly in a clear and concise way, a lot of people fall off of meta articles cause they get tied up in their own language. Second would be making this world-ender a very compelling character, make the reader understand where
13:44 <Nitro147> they are coming from and why they enjoy their work. I'm not sure how much frustration and spite will be able to carry his personality. Not that he can't get mad at the Foundation, but making him pure anger won't make for a compelling character
13:45 <Undercover_Fly> Thanks for your feedback. I understand why those things would be important and I'm aiming for both.
13:46 <Nitro147> Ok cool, well let me know when you get a draft up and running and I'll be sure to take a look
13:46 <Undercover_Fly> But his spite isn't just spite spite, it directed artistic spite, which I feel will further show his character.
13:46 <Undercover_Fly> Would you like to hear about his character progression in the article?
13:47 <Nitro147> Sure
13:48 <Undercover_Fly> Well, after he gets spiteful, he directs that 'art' to mock the Foundation.
13:50 <Undercover_Fly> In a story with scientists he tortures them. I a story which seems innocent and harmless he destroys it in the most horrific way. He deliberately falls into each and every trap the Foundation sets for him, just so he can bust out looking tough.
13:52 <Nitro147> Do you plan to go into him feeling like he corrupted his artistic vision?
13:53 <Undercover_Fly> While he changed his plans, he doesn't see it as corruption. He sees it as using them to create a greater art.
13:54 <Undercover_Fly> But simultaneously, he takes less joy in it. That's part of why he hates the Foundation, for 'forcing' him to do this. His hatred is self-perpetuating
13:56 <Nitro147> I'm curious how you plan to represent his frustrations? Does he have a way of directly communicating with the Foundation other than in how he destroys a specific narrative?
13:56 <Nitro147> Like how will the reader know what he is feeling
13:57 <Undercover_Fly> I'm planning on including an interview. Also, changes in his methods directly correspond to new foundation orders.
13:59 <Undercover_Fly> For example, when they send in SCP-423, he frightens him off.
13:59 <Undercover_Fly> Then they send in SCP-3167. He actually works with him, seeing it as 'poetic'
14:00 <Nitro147> I'd say be careful writing the Foundation as using other anomalies to combat another
14:00 <Undercover_Fly> A few more rounds of this and they send in SCP-4028. He beats Quixoue within an inch of his life and writes a mocking messgae on him.
14:00 <Undercover_Fly> Nitro147 Actually with pataphysics, using narrative entities is standard procedure.
14:01 <Nitro147> Guess I've read less meta articles than I've thought
14:01 <Undercover_Fly> Anyway, this progression with help show his progression in frustration.
14:01 <Undercover_Fly> .au rimple
14:02 <Undercover_Fly> http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/operation-overmeta
Operation ÓverMeta - SCP Foundation
14:02 <Nitro147> Yeah, no Helen in here
14:02 <Undercover_Fly> ^that should give you a good idea of how the department operates
14:03 <Nitro147> Thanks
14:04 <Undercover_Fly> So what do you think of that method of progression?
14:05 <Nitro147> I'd have to see it put out into writing, but I am left not really sympathizing with guy, I'm not sure how you'd write him as relatable in this context
14:06 <Undercover_Fly> I mentioned the interview right? The Foundation utilizes agent Barker to speak to him. This will help show his initial personality as a creator of art.
14:07 <Nitro147> You left out the initial interview. Ok with that I could see this making a lot more sense
14:10 <Undercover_Fly> We get a later interview via the same method, and that will show his decent into rage.
14:10 <Undercover_Fly> Anyway, want to here the ending?
14:10 <Nitro147> Sure
14:11 <Undercover_Fly> Ok. Well throughout the article there are notifications at the top of the screen. You are viewing iteration 3/5 and all that. Standard stuff.
14:12 <Undercover_Fly> But at the end, it doesn't say that. Instead it says 'You see something behind you'
14:13 <Undercover_Fly> The reveal is that the notifications were a narrative designed to trap world-ender in a narrative featuring only himself and you, and unamed protagonist.
14:13 <Undercover_Fly> He gets up to you via a fictional version of SCP-826. Now he's trapped.
14:14 <Undercover_Fly> Obviously, he doesn't like this. He rages, smashes things a tries to escape, but can because the documentation is stored a narrative layer below him.
14:15 <Undercover_Fly> Eventually he calms down and looks back at his actions. Then he talks directly to the Foundation.
14:16 <Undercover_Fly> He say's he can wait. Because eventually someone will write about him. Then he can escape. He calms that impatience was what caused his downfall, and regrets his actions.
14:18 <Undercover_Fly> And then he smiles, because he knows he doesn't need to escape for doomsday to happen to the SCP foundation. He claims that while he is the bringer of the doomsday stories, the Foundation will always be the victim of them.
14:18 <Undercover_Fly> In that way he wins. Because his is destruction, and destruction always wins.
14:19 <Undercover_Fly> He starts pondering how the Foundations destruction will go, leaving us with one last word.
14:20 <Undercover_Fly> That if he's so destructive, his creator must be worse. And he feels that the creator is above the Foundation too.
14:20 <Undercover_Fly> What do you think?
14:20 <Nitro147> That does sound like a rather interesting place to take the article and does make me more excited to see it, but you should read SCP-3939 just to make sure it isn't too similar to that, as there are some superficial similarities to the method of containment
14:22 <Undercover_Fly> I mean I have read SCP-3939, but I'll re-read it to avoid any similarities. I'm glad you liked it!
14:23 <Nitro147> Yeah, there is definitely some good meta-potential here that I am excited to see play out. This doesn't sound like an easy article to write, but you seem to really passionate about the idea, so as long as you are committed to it I can see this going somewhere very amazing
16:09 <Undercover_Fly> You want to hear about my developed idea?
16:10 <cwazzycwafter> Well, how has it been changed?
16:10 <Undercover_Fly> Well, earlier I only told you about the abilities of the SCP.
16:10 <Undercover_Fly> I've really developed their personality, however.
16:11 <cwazzycwafter> Well, I can't greenlight, but if you feel so inclined, tell me about it
16:13 <Undercover_Fly> What do you think that the personality of 'World-ender' would be, based on what I've already told you?
16:14 <cwazzycwafter> fairly sadistic, with a hint of charisma and comedic charm
16:15 <Undercover_Fly> That actually incapsulates my current plans for him pretty well.
16:15 <Undercover_Fly> Do you see him taking joy in his work?
16:15 <cwazzycwafter> Definitely
16:16 <cwazzycwafter> Although, I don't think he'd do it if he disliked it
16:16 <Undercover_Fly> Do you see him destroying worlds in way he feels are 'poetic' or 'fitting' ?
16:17 <cwazzycwafter> I don't see it as "poetic" to him but rather "hilariously ironic"
16:18 <Undercover_Fly> Yes, 'ironic' also works.
16:18 <Undercover_Fly> Do you see him as frustrated by the Foundations attempts to stop him?
16:19 <cwazzycwafter> I think he'd get frustrated eventually but he'd first treat it like a new challenge to overcome and would therefor find it more interesting than anything else
16:20 <Undercover_Fly> I suppose. Do you see him starting to destroy worlds in a way meant to mock the Foundation?
16:21 <cwazzycwafter> I do, I think he'd find them to be strokes of comedic genius, like taunts that he knows only he can pull off
16:22 <Undercover_Fly> Do you think they'd also be a good way to vent his frustration?
16:23 <cwazzycwafter> Well, you know, objectively-speaking, he should really just see a therapist
16:23 <cwazzycwafter> but as it relates to the plot, sure, it could work
16:24 <Undercover_Fly> Do you see him becoming increasing brutal and direct with these taunts as the Foundation continues to resist him?
16:26 <cwazzycwafter> ehhhhhhhh.. personally, I think I'd like it better if he only operated with the intent of trying to paint the Foundation as even bigger clowns with each world he tears down
16:26 <cwazzycwafter> that wouldn't necessarily involve an increase in brutality
16:26 <Undercover_Fly> I mean, he does that for a while.
16:27 <Undercover_Fly> But the character arc I'm trying features him dissolving from calm and artistic into frustrated and raging. I feel it would make him more relatable than if he was calm and calculating the whole time.
16:28 <cwazzycwafter> Oh, you're 100% right and it's probably the better direction to take him, I'm just a nutcase
16:30 <Undercover_Fly> Glad you agree with that.
16:30 <Undercover_Fly> Not about you being a nutcase though. You seem pretty sane.
16:30 <cwazzycwafter> That's debatable
16:31 <Undercover_Fly> If you say so.
16:31 <Undercover_Fly> Anyway, do you see his calming down somewhat after the Foundation finally traps him?
16:32 <cwazzycwafter> I think it would be less "calming down" and more "spiraling into a dark depression as he's now lost his sense of identity"
16:34 <Undercover_Fly> That's fair. But do you see him as being somewhat content with 3 facts:
16:34 <cwazzycwafter> If your entire existence is based around your ability to do one thing (in this case, destroying fictional worlds), then it would be incredibly devastating to have that stripped from you
16:34 <Undercover_Fly> 1. That if anyone every writes about him, he'll be able to escape.
16:35 <Undercover_Fly> 2. That the Foundation world will more than likely perish without his interference anyway.
16:35 <Undercover_Fly> 3. That his creator is still out there, and an author for the site?
16:36 <cwazzycwafter> Well, the mere existence of the SCP document already covers point one
16:36 <Undercover_Fly> His trap is actually the SCP document.
16:36 <cwazzycwafter> ahhh
16:36 <Undercover_Fly> I'll explain how if you want, but please give me your opinion on the other points first.
16:37 <cwazzycwafter> but if anyone ever writes a tale about him, then we have a problem on our hands
16:37 <Undercover_Fly> Oh, absolutley.
16:37 <cwazzycwafter> I think he could stand to live with them
16:37 <Undercover_Fly> What do you think about point 2?
16:38 <cwazzycwafter> I think he'd probably be acutely aware of the myriad of K-Class scenarios that are just one misplaced grain of sand away from obliterating everything, and he'd be content with that knowledge
16:38 <Undercover_Fly> And 3?
16:39 <cwazzycwafter> I mean.. That bit almost doesn't feel relevant to his character
16:40 <Undercover_Fly> Not directly, no. But destruction is what this guy is all about. Do you think he'd be happy with the knowledge that the person who created him, the pataphysical embodiment of destruction, is still able to directly influence the Foundations world?
16:41 <cwazzycwafter> I get the sense that he never wants to act out against his creator, but rather that he is aware of his fictionality and simply does not care
16:42 <cwazzycwafter> In other words, I don't feel as though it's that he's happy with the knowledge but rather he's content with letting the chips fall where they may
16:43 <Undercover_Fly> That's true. But what I meant was that he'd probably (correctly) assume that the stuff his creator writes will be dangerous or chaotic, and be please with that.
16:43 <cwazzycwafter> That, I think he could get behind
16:44 <Undercover_Fly> So, you like my ideas for his progressive personality?
16:45 <cwazzycwafter> I think it's well-developed, enough to be believable
16:45 <Undercover_Fly> Thanks for the encouragement. Any other questions?
16:46 <cwazzycwafter> Nothing in particular
17:06 <Undercover_Fly> Hey grigorikarpin, I'd like to discuss your feedback on my pataphysics piece, if you're available.
17:38 <grigorikarpin> Sure what’s up
17:38 <Undercover_Fly> I was just looking at your most recent feedback on this http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-14059350/crossover-pataphysical-paracite
'Crossover' Pataphysical Paracite - SCP Foundation
17:39 <Undercover_Fly> I understand why you gave that feedback, and I'm working on it.
17:39 <Undercover_Fly> But I was actually wondering what you thought of the rest of it.
17:41 <grigorikarpin> Did you have a question? The thing is mostly a taste thing, not something especially objective. The rest of it seems fine, you seem to have a good narrative structure… I just think the core concept is weak for the reasons I mentioned. Someone can make a whole world ending plot work… but with the unsubtle naming and lack of real details about the dude, I just feel like it’ll come off as shallow
17:41 <grigorikarpin> Motivations matter, why would someone want to destroy worlds? If it’s just “he likes it” I’m probably not gonna love the idea
17:42 <Undercover_Fly> So the narrative arc is good? I was worried about that.
17:45 <Undercover_Fly> Let me try and explain some of the motivation.
17:45 <grigorikarpin> It’s solid, the arc, but good would depend on execution
17:46 <grigorikarpin> I feel like you’ve explained rather well, I just find it lacking. Unless there was something you were holding back?
17:46 <Undercover_Fly> Solid arc is what I was hoping for.
17:47 <Undercover_Fly> What's your current impression of the motivation?
17:48 <grigorikarpin> I mean I’m not interested in being quizzed. Tell me what you want the motivation to come across as.
17:49 <Undercover_Fly> I want the motivation to come across as someone able to do something no-one else is able to, and sees it a shame not to do it.
17:49 <grigorikarpin> That’s shallow
17:49 <Undercover_Fly> Coupled with a person who sees everything as largely immaterial due to them being fictional.
17:49 <grigorikarpin> Think of every supervillain that wants to take over the world just because they think they can… it’s just not interesting
17:50 <grigorikarpin> He just sounds like a sociopathic child
17:50 <Undercover_Fly> And also see what they are doing, not as cruelty, but as contribution to the greater good.
17:50 <Undercover_Fly> The greater good being providing interesting stories for us, the readers.
17:51 <Undercover_Fly> Because he feels that doomsday stories are much better than the other works, due to the real emotion and tragedy they bring out.
17:51 <grigorikarpin> Ehhhhh that doesn’t really change my mind. I still think it would be WAY more interesting if he had more narrow goals, or completely alien motivations… what you’re describing just sounds petty. So on the one hand, people will understand it easily enough but on the other it’ll feel skin deep
17:52 <Undercover_Fly> He also sees it as an 'art' providing those ends he feels are 'ironic' or 'fitting'.
17:53 <Undercover_Fly> I mean, I'm really aiming for a transition between 'alien motivations' and 'narrow goals' throughout the narrative.
17:53 <grigorikarpin> This was all in your proposal and your response to me… I’m not seeing much clarification, nor anything I misunderstood. I’m sorry, it feels paper thin. Coupled with his name? It’s just gonna come off like a bad supervillain
17:54 <grigorikarpin> None of this feels alien
17:55 <Undercover_Fly> So a person causing doomsdays in worlds simply because they feel it creates better narratives for the higher-ups isn't alien?
17:56 <Undercover_Fly> Or the fact he kills countless people, simply because they are fictional?
17:58 <Undercover_Fly> Or his whole shtick about it being his 'art'?
17:59 <Undercover_Fly> I'm struggling to make it more alien. Would it be better for him just to not disclose him motivations at all?
17:59 <grigorikarpin> All of it, that’s not alien, that’s a human thought process taken to horrendous extremes.
17:59 <Undercover_Fly> What would be alien then?
18:00 <grigorikarpin> Honestly, I don’t know, it’s not something you can easily do… but my advice would be to abandon this idea that he wants to kill worlds/universes. Ultimately, that’s what I think. It’s gonna be nearly impossible to build the stakes in the way you’d need to with this set up. I don’t like grandiose stories on the wiki like this usually… the ones that have worked have been so weird that it was just a wild
18:00 <grigorikarpin> ride. This isn’t that
18:01 <Undercover_Fly> What sort of stuff would you suggest he do instead?
18:03 <grigorikarpin> Like I said, something more relatable, limited in scope. Think along the lines of what sorta motivations you would relate to, and then shift his goals to help you tell that story. Ask yourself why you want to tell a story about someone who wants to end worlds? Why is that interesting to you? When we have so many other examples
18:05 <grigorikarpin> If you’re struggling to accept this, and I see you are, it’s about your connection to your original idea. My advice is seek out other experienced authors and see what they think, mention the crit I’ve been givin and see if they think differently
18:06 <Undercover_Fly> I guess I could do that.
18:08 <Undercover_Fly> One thing though, what other examples? I don't think I've seen an SCP about someone trying to end the world for the sake of the plot.
18:08 <Undercover_Fly> I'd like to look at them to differentiate myself from them.
18:10 <grigorikarpin> http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2998
SCP-2998 - SCP Foundation
18:10 <grigorikarpin> http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/kalinins-proposal
Kalinin's Proposal - SCP Foundation
18:10 <grigorikarpin> both about end of the world scenarios that are just ALIEN
18:11 <Undercover_Fly> Isn't the first one because the ruler guy wants to recapture a rival?
18:11 <grigorikarpin> again, it's not about the SCP trying to end the world for the sake of the plot… that's just a simple excuse, my point is to focus in on the fact that end of the world scenarios that seem fairly original
18:12 <grigorikarpin> um that's like the thinnest of explanations sure, but the execution sets it apart
18:13 <grigorikarpin> And you should seek more crit because you've only gotten a little bit… more crit on your early articles means better articles, period. My first two had like 5-7 in depth crits
18:14 <Undercover_Fly> I mean, I already had quite a few chat discussions with several people about the idea.
18:16 <grigorikarpin> hey man, look do whatever you feel comfortable with. Just saying my perspective. I care about story structure and core concepts. When i did a thing about a world ending it was about a thing that needed to expand exponentially on a metaphysical level, consuming everything in its wake, until the lifeforms left were strange warped representations of what was there before, and also converted to consuming machines
18:16 <Undercover_Fly> Which one was that?
18:16 <grigorikarpin> but then that thing was not the star of the show, I didn't focus much attention on it, its an alien force in the background, and the article is actually about a character study of someone surviving a tragedy.
18:16 <grigorikarpin> SCP-4712
18:17 <grigorikarpin> http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4712
SCP-4712 - SCP Foundation
18:18 <Undercover_Fly> I'll review that.
18:18 <grigorikarpin> something wanting to kill everything being in the background as an eldritch horror, but really focusing the reader on character development and plot that seems to be about something else more grounded is one way you could go… but making World-Ender the forefront of the article, means the motivations and actions of the character will be under the spotlight from the get go.
18:19 <Undercover_Fly> I'll get more critism. But to confirm, you feel I need to make the motivations more alien and the end of the World scenarios original.
18:20 <grigorikarpin> Yeah that would help, that or make the motivation something more relatable that could engage the reader beyond “oh this guy is evil”
18:21 <Undercover_Fly> I'm trying to make his motivation that near the end.
18:23 <grigorikarpin> What you’ve explained to me so far does not communicate that… it sounds petulant. Think about why someone would be willing to snuff out billions of lives… if he does it because it’s cool, and he thinks it’s art, you’re gonna have a hell of a time making that character relatable. And if he’s mysterious about it, then you’ve gotta take a completely different tract… one that’s focused on eldritch
18:23 <grigorikarpin> horror, shit we don’t understand. And that means going more subtle, with the foundation more in the dark
18:26 <Undercover_Fly> Well, he doesn't see them as 'lives' really.
18:28 <Undercover_Fly> Nor does he see the world he destroys as 'worlds', at least not to the extent beyond what he does in them.
18:30 <Undercover_Fly> Imagine his motivations akin to a creative writer, except he is in the narratives.
18:31 <Undercover_Fly> So while it may seem his that his motivations are distant to us at first, due to the perspective we assume him to have, it becomes more relatable when he starts showing relatable emotions, such as frustration.
18:31 <grigorikarpin> That’s fine, I’m just telling you my perspective. And as he goes INTO those worlds, that perspective that they’re just stories doesn’t jibe imo
18:32 <Undercover_Fly> Despite him going into those worlds, and him interacting with him, they're still just stories to him. I guess that's why I thought his motivations were alien.
18:33 <Undercover_Fly> But I respect your perspective.
18:35 <grigorikarpin> That’s not “alien” that’s just callous… but going in circles now. Take note of what I’ve said, look at how those other examples work, get some other crit and then see where you’re at. Again, seek out experienced writers, not the voice you’ll find in the critters which are mostly newbs. The idea is to get perspective from those of us that really know the wiki
18:35 <Undercover_Fly> Well, thank you for your input.
Containment Class:
esoteric
Secondary Class:
cernunnos
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the location and nature of SCP-5422 direct containment is not currently possible, although the nature of the anomaly means it is primarily self-containing. Efforts will focus on the study of the anomaly and mitigation of its growth.
Agents imbedded within anomalous organizations and communities will actively discourage the use of intangibility for tactical or recreational purposes and will make efforts to prevent any experiments involving such, to the extent that it does not interfere with their other duties. Foundation experiments involving intangibility will only carried out when there is judged to be a minimal risk of the creation of a SCP-5422-1 instance.
Analysis of SCP-5422 is to be performed via use of thaumaturgical scanning equipment and Intangible object detection devices. SCP-5422 is to be continually monitored to detect the arrival of SCP-5422-1 instances at SCP-5422.
Proposals regarding SCP-5422 are to be reviewed and accepted/denied on a case-by-case basis by all relevant parties. Any feasible proposals pertaining to the permanent neutralization of SCP-5422 are pre-emptively approved by the Ethics committee.
Description: SCP-5422 refers to a mass of intangible objects located at the approximate gravitational center of the earth. While this mass consists partially of various chunks of earth, small objects and animals, the vast majority of the mass is composed of human bodies, hence after referred to as SCP-5422-1 instances.
SCP-5422-1 instances appear to have no singular source, rather originating from a variety of sources over the course of several centuries. All SCP-5422-1 instances have been measured to be between 0.2-0.3 on the Yempit opacity scale [[footnote1]] The Yempit opacity scale is used to measure the amount of intractability that an intangible or partially intangible object has upon the physical world, with 0 having no intractability and 1 being fully intractable, the baseline amount for most objects. Objects with a Yempit opacity rating of between 0.2-0.3 are capable of being acted on by the forces of gravity by not by electro-magnetism to any significant degree and therefore are capable of passing through solid objects. [[/footnote]]. There are currently believed to be over ████████ SCP-5422-1 instances within SCP-5422.
| SCP-5422-1 instance |
Description |
| SCP-5422-1-20 |
A Caucasian male of approximately 30 years of age. The instance is dressed in clothes consistent with those of the 13th century and emits mild amounts of Avika radiation. The instance appears to have suffocated. |
| SCP-5422-1-537 |
A young, heavily disfigured female of apparent Asian decent. The instance show wounds consistent with those typically inflicted by SCP-███, believed to be the cause of their presence within SCP-5422 [[footnote1]] The implications of SCP-███ existing within Asia is currently under investigation. [[/footnote]]. These wounds do not appear to have been fatal. |
| SCP-5422-1-4035 |
Instance is is identical in appearance to D-15480 prior to test 4035-27. Instance appears to have died from starvation. |
| SCP-5422-1-11037 through 11043 |
Instances wear armory consistent with that of the Allied Occult Initiative [[footnote1]] A precursor to the Global Occult Coalition formed during the 7th Occult War. [[/footnote]]. A piece of machinery held by one of the instances is believed to be responsible from these instances presence in SCP-5422. It is unknown whether the instances are aware of or have ascertained each others presence. |
| SCP-5422-1-███████ through ████████ |
All instances are identical to a person confirmed to be alive as of 1980. As all the vast majority of these people are confirmed to still be present on the earths surface, it is unknown how these instances exist, although they have been confirmed to be present in SCP-5422 as a result of unstable hume fluctuations. Due to this, the status of the instances is unknown. |

See Addendum-1 |
Addendum-1: Discovery:
SCP-5422 was discovered in the aftermath of Incident-██-35. Incident-██-35 involved several assailants from the Chaos Insurgency attacking Site-██, presumably with the goal of securing SCP-048. While the attack was successfully repelled, the assailants activated a device while on the retreat to prevent their capture. The activation of the device cast what is believed to be a modified version of thaumaturgical ritual D5-24, resulting in a large portion of the Site, along with the device, SCP-048 and numerous personnel to becoming intangible, and subsequently falling through the ground[[footnote1]] Thaumaturgical ritual D5-24 causes intangibility in the caster or people in close proximity that the caster targets. While the ritual is intended to lower the targets Yemit rating to 0.5, allowing egress through solid objects only with sufficient momentum, the ritual is structured in such a way that minor mistakes can lower the targets Yemit rating to under 0.3. This ritual saw widespread usage among the anomalous community throughout the 1970's and is believed to be responsible for the existence of no less than ████ SCP-5422-1 instances.[[/footnote]]. Among these personnel was Researcher Bradbury, who was in his office at the time of the device's activation.
Approximately 3 hours after the incident, during cleanup and repair operations, the following message was received on several co-workers computers:
HELP HELP IM A FOUNDATION RESEARCHER WE WERE ATTACKED SOMETHING HAPPENED AND NOW I CANT SEE OR HEAR OR FEEL ANYTHING [Redacted for brevity]
Signal tracing located the origin of this message to be approximately 44km beneath Site-██. It is believed that Researcher Bradley was in contact with his personal work computer at the time of transformation, and that the anomalous augmentations of the computer[[footnote1]] The non-Euclidean geometry of majority of the anomalies contained at Site-██ meant that all communicatory devices at the Site operate by first sending communication to an extradimensional location, after which it is sent to the appropriate recipient. [, along with his training in non-visual typing[[footnote1] Researcher Bradbury is assigned to the analysis of digital cognitohazards.[[/footnote]], allowed him to continue to communicate with his surface colleagues. It was considered likely that Researcher Bradbury was experiencing extreme sensatory deprivation as a result of his location and intangible nature.
The signal from Bradbury's computer continued to be tracked for several hours before coming to rest at the approximate gravitational center of the earth. The use thaumaturgical ritual B9-73 was authorized, resulting in the discovery of SCP-5422 [[footnote1]] Thaumaturgical ritual B9-73 allows the caster to project an image in the casters vicinity of any person within a precise location targeted by the caster. These projections take the appearance of the target and emit the same amounts of heat and radiation (both anomalous and non-anomalous) despite being intangible and disappearing after a variable amount time.[[/footnote]].
Addendum-2: Communication:
SCP-5422 Research Proposal
Attempt two-way communication with Researcher Bradbury via a Foundation standard computer, as so to ascertain more about the nature of his situation.
Status: Approved by 05 command
Reason: Two-way communication would allow active analysis of Researcher Bradbury's situation and the nature of SCP-5422 along with the status of lost objects and personnel.
Following the approval of the above proposal, communication was attempted with Researcher Bradbury (Hence after referred to as SCP-5422-1-1) via his computer, which was still believed to be in his possession. The following interaction resulted:
Interviewed: SCP-5422-1-1
Interviewer: Dr Carlson
Foreword: This interview was conducted via Dr Carlson's email account. Dr Carlson was chosen for the interview due to being a prior co-worker of SCP-5422-1-1 and receiving the multiple emails from it. These emails have been placed into an interview format for easy reading.
<Begin Log>
SCP-5422-1-1: Is anyone there? I'm sorry for typing in all caps, I just needed to attract your attention. Anyone?
Dr Carlson: Bradbury? Researcher Bradbury? Can you see this?
SCP-5422-1-1: Anyone at all?
Dr Carlson: Can you see this Bradbury?
SCP-5422-1-1: The Site Director said this would work.
Dr Carlson: You can't see this can you.
SCP-5422-1-1: "Extradimensional technology" they said. "It will never fail, even pocket dimensions and rooms with impossible geometry!". Even if no-one saw my messages you'd think an AI would pick it up.
SCP-5422-1-1: Yet I've been typing at this god damn think for hours, day even! And no reply. Guess they never accounted for wherever the hell I am. I can't see, or hear, or feel anything except this computer! And it DOESN'T EVEN WORK!
Dr Carlson: Stay calm Bradbury, we'll figure out a way to retrieve you.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: It is currently believed that SCP-5422-1-1 was unable to perceive that he had been contacted due to sensatory deprivation.
Shortly after this interview, communication from SCP-5422-1-1 ceased. This is believed to be due to SCP-5422-1-1 falling asleep.
Addendum-3: Research & Analysis:
Following initial communication attempts, research through alternate methods was proposed.
SCP-5422 Research Proposal
Deploy a deep-earth probe for the analysis of SCP-5422 and the retrieval of lost personnel.
Status: Denied by 05 command
Reason: The cost and risks of such a project would far outweigh the potential benefits.
Research and analysis was eventually authorized via further use of thaumaturgical ritual B9-73 and other relevant thaumaturgical processes along with recently developed technology for detecting intangible anomalous entities[[footnote1]] These newly developed technologies send out various types of anomalous and non-anomalous radiation, utilizing a process similar to sonar to detect intangible objects.[[/footnote]]. The anomaly was determined to not be from a single original source, cause or event, but rather a multitude of sources, causes and events, which collectively resulted in the formation of SCP-5422 due to their similar natures and outcomes. Current containment procedures were implemented shortly thereafter.
Around this time, SCP-5422-1-1 resumed communication.
SCP-5422-1-1: Hello? I just woke up. Or at least I think I woke up. Hard to tell when you can see just as much awake as asleep.
SCP-5422-1-1 Still have this computer though, so that's something. Found it floating against my chest if you'd believe that. Guess the gravity in this place is kinda funked up.. Come to think of it, I don't even know which way is down.
SCP-5422-1-1: Guess this is how Scranton must have felt. At least he had some idea of where he was. Don't think I am where he was though, cause I still feel hungry. And thirsty.
SCP-5422-1-1: Why am even still writing these? I guess because of the slight chance that the Foundation, or heck anyone at all will see these. No sure how, but that sort of stuff seems to happen surprisingly often. I mean, I know they're not getting know, else they would have rescued me by know. Or at least sent a response.
SCP-5422-1-1: As it is, I'm just sitting here, in a empty void, sending messages that no-one will see. And no-on knows where I am. I'm going to die here, aren't I ?
These messages was followed by several similar message strings over the course of several hours before once again ceasing (Consult Addendum-5422-B for a full list of recovered transmissions.). This is believed to be due to SCP-5422-1-1 fainting from sleep deprivation.
Addendum-4: Ongoing Containment:
Due to the remote location and difficult to contain nature of SCP-5422, multiple proposals to contain it more securely were submitted.
SCP-5422 Containment Proposal
Deploy a deep-earth probe for equipped with an incorporeal entity vacuum chamber for the containment and transportation of SCP-5422, along with the recovery of lost personnel.
Status: Denied by 05 command
Reason: Once again, the cost and risks of such a project would far outweigh the potential benefits. Furthermore, incorporeal entity vacuum chamber partially solidifies all intangible objects placed within it, making it impractical for transporting a large number.
SCP-5422 Containment Proposal
Use SCP-██ to teleport SCP-5422 to a suitable Foundation holding site, as so to allow for the recovery of lost .
Status: Denied by 05 command
Reason: SCP-██ is too valuable to risk for an objective like this. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the SCP-5422-1 instances will be affected by it.
The following communication was received from SCP-5422-1-1:
SCP-5422-1-1: So here it is, my last-ditch attempt for rescue. And yes, it's just more of the same, because there isn't much to do in this void of a place is there?
SCP-5422-1-1 I've kind of made piece with the fact that I'm almost certainly going to die down here. Hey, at least I get to write some poetic stuff before I go! Thank goodness for touch-typing.
SCP-5422-1-1: The again, I might be typing gibberish. Who knows?
SCP-5422-1-1: Well, if anyone does see this, let this be my dyeing request. Stop this. Stop whatever happened to me from happening to someone else.
SCP-5422-1-1: When I entered the Foundation, I kind of already made piece with the fact I was more than likely going to die on the job. I mean, I would have been crazy to work with cognitohazards if I hadn't.
SCP-5422-1-1: But what if this happens to someone else? Someone totally unprepared for the experience? Someone with a family to go back to, who desperately doesn't die in a place like this? Someone who has to spend much longer in here? If it happened to me it could happen to others, and I know I have a slightly higher chance than most of people knowing what happened to me.
SCP-5422-1-1: Stop this. If not for my sake, for theirs.
SCP-5422-1-1: God, I'm so thirsty.
Following this, communication from SCP-5422-1-1 ceased and has not since resumed. This is believed to be due to SCP-5422-1-1's death from dehydration.
