SCP-XXXX in ██████ Africa
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a room with a base with a surface area of 20 meter2 (approximately 215 ft2) with walls made of strong elastic material. SCP-XXXX shall not be in the range of 20 meters (approximately 65 feet) from a human for more than 15 minutes. SCP-4934 is not to be touched by bare hands, or any other body part that shows skin. No sharp objects are allowed within the range of 20 meters (approximately 65 feet).
Description: SCP-XXXX resembles a white cotton pillow approximately 1 meter3 in volume, covered by bloodstains. SCP-XXXX movement is controlled by SCP-XXXX-1, consisting of floating and flying usually at nights. the average recorded flight speed of SCP-XXXX is 100 Kph (approximately 62 Mph). It appears SCP-XXXX is targeted towards humans, which correlates with SCP-XXXX-1's interests.
the effect of a person's skin touching SCP-XXXX is the constant appearance of SCP-XXXX-1 in the person's dream. that includes also touching SCP-XXXX indirectly. Class-D subjects who have touched directly SCP-XXXX claim to experience a specific encounter in their dreams (SCP-4934-1), which by Class-D subjects who saw SCP-XXXX-1, describe SCP-XXXX-1 as a black floating humanoid with no face, with two Tentacles located on the shoulders of the humanoid.
To explore and research SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1, 76 Class-D subjects have been assigned
to interact with SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 in various ways.
subjects tell about a very specific set of events happening in their dreams, which consists of meeting SCP-XXXX-1 in a void hearing him say repeatedly "THERE WILL BE EARTHQUAKES, WARS AND ███████████ - ALL HAIL █████ AND ███ WILL COME", and then afterward the subjects were forced to stare in holographic screening of disastrous worldwide simulations, every time in the same specific order which SCP-4934-1 told them "Is the future". The last stage in their dreams is a forced staring at a closed wooden gate with engraved symbols, which by the descriptions subjects have given are identified to be Latin letters. When putting together, the letters spell out "Gate to ████"
Subjects claim to have been offered by SCP-XXXX-1 to stop torturing them, requiring them to do a specific list of tasks in the same order:
- Kill a person with a knife stabbed in their heart
- Take out the heart of the victim and smear the heart on the pillow
- Go on the streets on the night and leave the pillow outside
It was also found that SCP-XXXX can also affect people's minds that haven't necessarily touched SCP-XXXX, but that have stayed long enough in a 20-meter (approximately 65 feet) radius for long enough - by creating simple phantoms, like voices and simple visuals. although weak, some phantoms were very disastrous to some subjects' mental health - usually relating to very sensitive personal topics, like someone important in their life appearing and speaking to them. Phantoms have started to appear in subjects' minds approximately after 30 minutes, the shortest appearance of a phantom in a subject's mind is 15 minutes. It is unknown if it can generate earlier.
SCP-XXXX was first found in ██████ South Africa, after an abnormal amount of incidents of very
specific death cases accrued in a small village. all incidents were of victims with a knife stabbed in
their chest. police checks showed the DNA identified of the offenders didn't match, and all identified
offenders committed suicide supposedly shortly after the incident they were involved in.
locals claimed there was a sudden high increase in suicide amongst relatives.
The main demographic of offenders consisted of poor African juveniles and the victims'
demographic consisted mainly of old (54 - 68 years) African people
from all economic demographics, and all were Catholic Christians.
6 fathers of juvenile offenders were interviewed as part of the investigation.
At the same time village locals reported about a flying white
object which later identified to be SCP-XXXX, showing in the streets at nights
which was described as "thrown around by an unknown force".
police attempts to catch SCP-XXXX were unsuccessful, as SCP-XXXX kept flying away
[DATA EXPUNGED]
[DATA EXPUNGED]
after the investigation, SCP-XXXX was identified and contained
at the facility █████, 4 recorded workplace incidents of murderers committed
by workers, all consist of stabbing their victims in their chest, much like the incidents in
██████ Africa.
Addendum: SCP-XXXX-1
SCP-XXXX-1 appears to be a black humanoid creature, which instead of arms
has tentacles. SCP-4934-1 isn't to be seen at any facility, due to the nature of SCP-XXXX-1
which can only be visible in the dreams of people who directly touch SCP-XXXX.
It is unsure if SCP-XXXX currently exists in earth or the universe, or whether SCP-XXXX is a phantom, few people who have seen SCP-XXXX-1 in their dreams
and didn't immediately were traumatized tell that SCP-XXXX-1
is an advanced technological creation which SCP-XXXX-1 described himself as:
"a mechanical soul".
The destruction of SCP-XXXX will inevitably cause the "death" of SCP-XXXX-1. That includes ripping it apart or making a hole in it. It is unknown what will happen afterward.
SCP-XXXX-1 can not be directly contacted, but only by Class-D subjects who have touched SCP-XXXX
and were mentally capable of making contact with SCP-XXXX-1 in their dreams. most of SCP-XXXX-1
properties are not to be tested since consequences may be lethal.
The technology SCP-XXXX-1 is/is made of isn't identified, and is likely not from earth.
The intended use of this technology is unknown.
Addendum: The Gate
SCP-XXXX-1 has a long list of documented instances where SCP-XXXX-1 has referenced a gate of some kind, which regularly appears in the dreams of subjects who have touched SCP-XXXX.
Date: 6.8.2███
Subject: SCP-XXXX-1 - The gate
Dr.Samuel reporting. Due to common repeated mentioning
of a gate-like-object while researching SCP-XXXX-1
I've written a report exclusivley of the gate object

SCP-XXXX-1 Quote: "THE GATE'S CONTAINMENT IS TO NEVER BE SEEN, THE GATE HOLDS
MANY SECRETS AND ENIGMAS THAT THE WEAK PRIMITIVE
HUMAN BRAIN CAN'T PROCESS."
Context: Class-D-146681 has been in the stage of the dream where he proceeded to
stare at the gate in the endless void. Class-D-146681 asked repeatedly: "What is behind the gate?"
and after the 7th time, SCP-XXXX-1 replied.
Analysis: The gate contains some kind of classified information. The reasoning of SCP-XXXX-1
to hide the information is that: "The weak primitive human brain can't process it".
It is unclear whether the information that "can't be processed" is mentally complex
or logically. It may be personally important for SCP-XXXX-1 to hide the gate's information
based on the use of the word "Secrets".

SCP-XXXX-1 Quote: "THE GATE..? THE GATE… Urgh…
Context: Class-D-627267 has been in the stage of the dream where he proceeded to
stare at the gate in the endless void. Class-D-627267 asked repeatedly: "Do you know what's
behind the gate ?"
and after the 12th time, SCP-XXXX-1 replied.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-1 reacted negatively to the question, suggesting he does know what
is behind the gate and it's containment, but due to lack of response, it is uncertain.

**Context: ** Class-D-102485 has been in the stage of the dream where he proceeded to
stare at the gate in the endless void. Class-D-102485 asked repeatedly: "Do you know what's
behind the gate ?"
and after the 2cd time, SCP-XXXX-1 replied.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-1 seems to be aware of the experiments done. In addition to that
SCP-XXXX-1 confirms he knows what's behind the gate, and it is now revealed that
the content of the gate is a place.
That means that the gate is some kind of portal - a wormhole.

SCP-XXXX-1 Quote: "GET PAID, GET LAID, LEMONADE, YOU WILL
REGRET OPENING THE GATE."
**Context: ** Class-D-168334 has been in the stage of the dream where he proceeded to
stare at the gate in the endless void. Class-D-168334 went towards the gate somehow, and
SCP-XXXX-1 responded. SCP-XXXX-1 flew towards Class-D-168334 and opened the gate in front
of Class-D-168334 eyes. After Class-D-168334 was asked what is behind the door, Class-D-168334
"Froze" and refused to answer.
Analysis: The gate's contents are indeed traumatizing and make the human mind unstable.
Also, it appears SCP-XXXX-1 has a sense of humor from some kind.

SCP-XXXX-1 Quote: "THE REASON I'M HERE IS BEHIND THAT DOOR.
BUT I AM VERY CERTAIN THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR."
**Context: ** Class-D-9902762 is an odd case, as it appears he managed to develop some
some kind of a personal relationship with SCP-XXXX-1, as he wasn't severely affected by the
usual symptoms of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 has told Class-D-9902762
"Tales" consisting of a weird storyline, but none the less are stories. The line of SCP-XXXX-1
mentioning the gate at this instance was when Class-D-9902762 asked SCP-XXXX-1
"What is behind the gate".
Analysis: Usually SCP-XXXX-1 acts very hostile towards questions about the gate,
but the closeness between Class-D-9902762 and SCP-XXXX-1 lead to SCP-XXXX-1
be more informative about his response, telling that the gate's (Or one of many) contents are
his origins.

**Context: ** Class-D-9902762 has repeated his actions as in log #5. The response was different.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-1 has some kind of relationship with Class-D-9902762, as he refers to
Class-D-9902762 as "Brother." It is unclear if SCP-XXXX-1 talks about a blood-related relationship
brothers commonly share, or either it's metaphorical. regarding the gate, SCP-XXXX-1
refuses to show the gate's contents even to subjects who he sympathizes with… or
either because he sympathizes with them?

SCP-XXXX-1 Quote: "BROTHER… I AM VERY SORRY… THE GATE IS MINE.
**Context: ** Class-D-9902762 had an unusual dream compared to other subjects;
He appeared in the dark void, but instead of shortly later proceeding to watch disastrous events,
nothing happened for merely an hour. SCP-XXXX-1 appeared shortly after an hour, and
Class-D-9902762 asked him: "What is behind the gate?", SCP-XXXX-1 responded.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-1 has some close relation with Class-D-9902762,
SCP-XXXX-1 says "The gate is mine", claiming ownership of some kind.
The rest of the response is short and simple, SCP-XXXX-1 talking from the view-point
Class-D-9902762 is going to be hurt in some way from SCP-XXXX-1.

Class-D-9902762 goes missing, he is now being searched for.
Scratched Idea Number 1: Abraham's interview
Reason: Unnecessary and not written well.
Interviewed: Abraham Yanov
Interviewer: █████
Foreword: Abraham Yanov is the father of one of many victims affected by the sudden wave
of people becoming insane, committing murder and other felonies
and committing suicide shortly afterward.
<Begin Log>
█████: Hello Abraham, I understand your child was a victim of the recent abnormal event,
and committed suicide. Was there any noticeable change in your child's behavior before
he committed suicide?
Abraham Yanov: Yes. Definitely. It all started one day when he came from school,
he looked very anxious and I asked him what's wrong,
but he was very secretive about it and refused to answer.
every day after that day he ate very poorly, looked very weak and he rarely talked.
█████: Were there any insignificant changes in your child's life before
he committed suicide? that includes incidents like a family relative dying.
Abraham Yanov: Not that I can remember. Last year was quite peaceful in ██████
up until the recent incidents. Last year our dog dies, and it made him very sad, but he
appeared to get over it quickly. Other than that nothing traumatic
happened according to my knowledge.
█████: After the day his behavior dramatically changed, what did
you do about it? was it effective in making him act more normal?
Abraham Yanov: Well I did take him to a therapist at first, but it
didn't help much. The therapist told me that after about 10 minutes
of a therapy session, he would "freeze" and refuse to talk or move.
She told me I need to seek help from a more professional health specialist
because she couldn't identify the problem. So I asked for help from
other health specialists, but no one could identify what happened and
what treatment he needs. He went into a coma for 3 months after a month of
me trying to seek for him some medical treatment and was hospitalized.
█████: What happened after he woke up from his coma?
Abraham Yanov: Well, that's the scary part of all of it. I never saw him wake up
from his coma, one night he disappeared and was nowhere to be seen. We looked up
camera footage, and it was all lost that night. Three days later the police found him dead
in a dark ally on the streets, the police determined that he committed suicide 5 hours
after he murdered his victim, and committed murder supposedly the night he woke up
from his coma. The police also found that he used his blood to write on a wall in the
ally: "█████ █████ ██████████" and next to that "reality is too real"
█████: May you describe in great detail what conditions were the body found in?
Abraham Yanov: Oh, it was disgusting. He vomited many internal organs on the ground,
and his entire head was covered in blood. thinking of what the police showed me
makes me feel horrible.
█████: Thank you for being here, the interview is over.

[[collapsible show="+ SCP-XXXX-1 Blood Consumption" hide="- SCP-XXXX-1 Blood Consumption"]]
SCP-XXXX-1 requires 6 ounces of blood weekly to survive, which is transferred by pouring blood on
SCP-XXXX, the consequences of him
not getting his weekly blood consumptions are very deadly; SCP-XXXX-1 would cease to exist
in the dreams of people who directly touched SCP-4934, but all the people that their blood was
consumed by SCP-XXXX-1 will become a piece of the advanced technology SCP-XXXX-1 is/is made of.
They will "live" in an object and "feed" on human blood in much as the same manner SCP-XXXX-1 does, the number of people who had their blood consumed by SCP-XXXX-1 is unknown.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is located outside the Church of Bolungarvik, Bolungarvík Iceland. SCP-XXXX is to be visited monthly by two electricians to check if SCP-XXXX functions properly, and is to be reconditioned due to often extreme weather conditions.
SCP-XXXX-4 is not functional, so attempts to recover it are unnecessary.
Description: SCP-XXXX consists of four items (SCP-XXXX-1 - 4) which are all street lamposts.
in regular instances the lamps of SCP-XXXX-1 -3 are inactive, and the last recorded instance of SCP-XXXX-4's lamp active was on 06.07.2008.
SCP-XXXX-1- 3 are sentient, intelligent beings and they communicate with each other by morse code, turning their lamps on and off. SCP-XXXX-1-3 were found out to be previously human scientists,
which collaborated to implant sentient minds into four lamposts (SCP-XXXX-1-4) as they were researching the human brain.
SCP-XXXX-1- 3 are capable of hearing and detecting motion.
Near the top of SCP-XXXX-1 -3, there's a microphone inside a cell previously built-in, and another cell located beneath the lamp, where there's a motion detector linked to the SCP-XXXX's circuits.
The previously human scientists which are SCP-XXXX-1- 3 seem to successfully maintain their memories and other stored information in a human brain. The physical brain of the scientists isn't located near/in the lamposts; The way the scientists transferred their mind to the lamposts is through technology the team developed for around a decade.
SCP-XXXX-1- 3 refuse to tell about the functionality of the technology to the fullest but based on their claims, with the technology they have developed it is possible to transfer a person's mind to any inanimate object with a volume bigger than 5 cubic meters.
SCP-XXXX #1 Idea: an intellegent street flashlight.
Every time A question is being asked around the street flashlight, It'll answer the question by morse
code - turning the lights on or off. Also, when a question would be directed towards SCP-XXXX #1
he'll answer.
SCP-XXXX #1.1 Idea: a lampost society
The SCP-XXXX is a series of lamposts in a dark ally in a low populated area, Iceland.
SCP-XXXX consists of 13 Active lamposts (SCP-XXXX-1 - SCP-XXXX-13)
and two inactive (dead?) lamposts (SCP-XXXX-14, SCP-XXXX-15)
SCP-XXXX lights are usually inactive due to the nature of the SCP-XXXX-X.
Every time SCP-XXXX-X would hear a question, or someone would talk directly to it, it would answer it by some kind of morse code, turning their light on and off. SCP-XXXX lamposts have personalities, critical thinking, and other human characteristics. SCP-XXXX lamposts communicate with each other by wires underground which can transfer electrical signals like their morse-like-language. They can "see" with their lightbulbs (they are only able to sense movement). They can hear clearly through microphones attached to their base.
SCP-XXXX lamposts have a variety of light colors, each color gives a "tone" to their speaking.
SCP-XXXX-1 is an intellectual genius - with an IQ of 166, able to solve many complex problems in various subjects - like math, economics, and politics, used by the organization a lot.
