Special Containment Procedures: Natural features located within the English County of Northumberland, such as caverns and rock shelters that remain large enough for civilian access have been identified, and altered inconspicuously by Anomaly Identification Team Alpha-16 ("Foxhounds"). AIT-17 has been stationed within surrounding English counties, and are currently identifying possible SCP-6000 locations. The possibility of accessibility from animal burrows and dens is ongoing; in the event that destruction of natural space is required, or in another county besides Northumberland the Foundation has received permission to override local council law under direct authority from the British Crown. Standard Class-A amnestics may be administered on a case-by-case basis. St. Agatha's Cave, a small limestone cavern near the Northumberland community of Wincanton has been chosen as the Foundation's central entrance point into SCP-6000. A provisional site has been established near the entrance of the cave, under guise as a research station surveying the local landscape.

Description: SCP-6000 is the Foundation designation given to an extra-dimensional space currently imbricated amongst rural areas within the English county of Northumberland. SCP-6000 currently spans an approximate 4.90 km2 of explored territory, itself primarily consisting of a large abandoned urban space and the surrounding landscape. SCP-6000 consists of numerous independent biological niches, biomes, and ecosystems. Organisms present within SCP-6000 are believed to have undergone rapid evolution in order to adapt to SCp-6000's non-euclidean landscapes. SCP-6000 itself has been divided into six interlocking regions, each of which contain its own native organisms.

SCP-6000's main focal point is an abandoned urban center spanning an approximate 2.5 km2 of rough, hilly terrain, itself dissected by a large river. The primary architectural style, somewhat similar to the Victorian Gothic revival style, and apparent lack of modern technology such as automobiles and electricity suggest a culture occurring within the mid to late nineteenth century. Surviving signage, written plain language, suggest that a steady population of humanoids lived within the region either before or after the decay of the region. The city streets themselves are difficult to navigate, consisting of winding, narrow streets, and claustrophobic alleyways. Personal hygiene did not appear to be a primary concern, as the roads within SCP-6000 have been often found awash with sewage, and human waste. Sewage piping, and aqueducts filled with dirty wastewater are a common appearance, alongside rotting carcasses of unknown animals. Upon original discovery, most buildings have appeared to have been either evacuated, or boarded upwards. Occasionally, a bright red cross has been discovered upon the doors and windows of certain buildings; possibly residential. The urban space of SCP-6000 appears to have undergone severe decay, and reclamation of nature, with most buildings, roadways, and residential areas surrounded and occupied by large amounts of grass and weeds. Most buildings and remaining structures have interiors overrun by moss, lichen, and shrubbery. As a result, buildings within SCP-6000 have been used as shelter in place of burrows and dens by SCP-6000's native wildlife. The natural landscape surrounding the urban space is primarily hilly, and heavily forested. While SCP-6000 has its own system of native fauna, some Earth-native plants have been discovered within SCP-6000, most notably hickory and birch trees, much of which make up most of the forested regions of the region.

It is unknown if SCP-6000 currently supports any native or introduced humanoid populations, however Foundation research has discovered the presence of several bronze statues depicting a naked satyr.1 The satyr depicted in the SCP-6000 statue is seen holding a large bronze tablet. The tablet contains a large passage of text, written in a romantic, pastoral style. A complete list of the texts is viewable within the third addendum.
