Containment Class:
euclid
Secondary Class:
uncontained
Special Containment Procedures: All recovered instances of SCP-7411-1 are to be kept in a standard containment locker in Site-31. All instances are to remain within their respective lockers at all times, unless explicit instruction has been given by the Site Director that they should be removed.
When SCP-7411-2 is found, it will be immediately transported to a standard humanoid containment cell. The others behind SCP-7411 are held in a standard humanoid containment-cell with minimal security considering the lack of their anomalous properties.
SCP-7411 itself is to be seized and archived only in Foundation computers and internet. If any other website of similar or equal anomalous properties is to appear, it is to be reported to Foundation personnel who specify in software engineering and computer hacking to seize the site immediately. The same goes for any SCP-7411 social media presence or overall internet presence.
Description: SCP-7411 is a website and series of social media accounts advertising and selling a product called "Pool Stickers" through a business by the name of "Plicker". The creation of the anomalous website and accounts have been tentatively attributed to an individual hereby designated SCP-7411-2, the current identity and whereabouts of said individual are not presently known. Although through a series of analysis and research on archived emails and messages, it has been determined that SCP-7411-2 is likely named, or associated with the name "Evan".[[/footnote]]. The product that is sold, "Pool Stickers", are large adhesive sheets that are custom-made to fit the dimensions of a customer's pool, it possesses the ability to manifest the structure printed on the sticker as a physical object above the pool. (See Incident 7411-a for further details). The object on the sticker will manifest itself over the pool, through the releasing of materials from within the sticker, which will join to create the final product. After use it can simply be lifted off, making something such as a basketball court only the weight of a sticker that could be moved around with ease. It does not reverse the creation of the object, instead, the materials used to create it are sturdy, though weightless, so can essentially be "tossed aside", and simply put over the pool again if necessary. On the "Plicker" website, specific instructions are given on how to apply the "Pool Stickers":
The Latest Archived Version of the "Plicker" Logo
1. Take your sticker out of its wrapping.
2. Peel off the layer at the bottom of the sticker.
3. Stretch out the sticker to fit the dimensions of your pool.
4. With the help of others, perfectly place the sticker at the bottom of your pool (stairs included).
5. Quickly exit the pool once you are sure the sticker is well placed and won't come off.
6. Wait 10-30 minutes outside of your pool (try your best to keep anything and everything outside of your pool).
7. Check back regularly to see the magic happen (and to make sure not many things are in the pool).
8. Once the 10-30 minutes are up, you should have turned your pool into something cooler!
Remember that you can always peel the new layer off through one of the corners of your pool!
Incident 7411-a: On February 17, 2014, a Foundation personnel by the name of Dr. Ridley Wright ordered a "Pool Sticker" for themselves just a week before the website was seized. Wright ordered a basketball court sticker for their backyard pool, under supervision of the Foundation, whom had been alerted of the product. The product, as promised, arrived in under a week. Dr. Wright mentioned having "a great amount of doubt" in the product, but after testing it, it lived up to everything it was said to do. While Dr. Wright waited, he noted that materials were ejecting themselves from the sticker and joining together at a slow rate to eventually form the finished product. After a fifteen-minute wait, Wright found that the pool truly had seemingly installed a basketball court, basketball hoops included, that's border was conformed to fit the pool's circumference. Wright followed the instructions on peeling the court off, and the entire court, which would generally weigh over 20,000 kilograms, only weighed a few grams. After the incident, Dr. Wright reported what had happened to Foundation higher-ups, and the website was seized.
Addendum 7411-a: An email conversation between SCP-7411-2 and one of the other creators of SCP-7411 during the development phase of SCP-7411-1:

From: moc.liamg|3owTnavE#moc.liamg|3owTnavE
Subject: New Route on the Pop-Ups
Hey, remember when we were trying to create a lamppost that would pop-up from the sidewalk? Yeah, it's not at all working. It was stable for a second, but as soon as I bumped into it, it crashed down. I ended up getting a noise complaint from my neighbors after the second time it happened. So, I think we need to re-work the way the objects protrude from the ground. Your suggestion was great, and we're definitely many steps closer, but just not there yet.
Also, on another note, I experimented with adding designs to the stickers and it seems to work. I got a jpeg of a sidewalk with a lamppost and got it on the sticker (don't ask how, I'm just good at that) and the results were the same as the first time, so I don't believe it'll mess up the sticker.

Subject: Re:Ok
Hey sorry for the whole noise complaint thing. If you want to get rid of that, I suggest experimenting with making the materials weightless. I think it'll be possible with your Hamburger Developments. Great job with the styles by the way. Also, I'll do my research on the weightlessness, just pass me over the Hamburger docs and I'll get started so you won't have to! Good luck, I'll be there in 1-3 days.

Hey, I've been thinking about something. The entire Plicker project is awesome, definitely great, but we shouldn't sell it. I don't see a use for it really, like what problem is it really solving? With Hamburger we can make so many other cool things that actually solve a problem, you know? Let's keep working on Plicker for ourselves and maybe locals but scrap the whole selling thing. Hope you understand.

THE USER YOU ARE REPLYING TO DOES NOT EXISTED OR HAS BLOCKED YOUR EMAIL.
Addendum 7411-b: An interview with Arnold Jacobsen, one of the men behind SCP-7411, preformed by Dr. Ridley Wright.
Interviewed: Jacobsen, Arnold
Interviewer: Dr. Ridley Wright
Foreword: Arnold Jacobsen, one of the men behind the creation of "Plicker", was interviewed by Dr. Ridley Wright for purposes of gaining more information on SCP-7411-2, who was considered "The Ringleader" behind "Plicker".
<Begin Log, 7:22 AM>
Dr. Wright: Alright, the recorder is on, we can begin. To start, I'd like to confirm that you are Arnold Jacobsen, am I correct.
Jacobsen: Yes sir, I am.
Dr. Wright: Perfect. Do you by any chance recall the name "Plicker"?
Jacobsen: Uh yeah, yeah I do. Is this why I'm here?
Dr. Wright: Yes, it is. Don't worry, you aren't in trouble, but a friend of yours is, I want to know more about him. Do you remember anyone by the name of Evan, working on "Plicker"?
Jacobsen: Yup, it was his idea, and all under his command. I'm guessing he's the one in trouble, am I allowed to know why?
Dr. Wright: Afraid not, but we do need to get information on him, he's a very anonymous person.
Jacobsen: Mhm. You can ask, I don't think I have another choice.
Dr. Wright: Did anything about Evan, or any of the people working on "Plicker" seem strange to you?
Jacobsen: he was a little aggressive when it came to money, pretty greedy. And there was some experiment he had been working on for years of his life, it helped us create Plicker. He didn't tell me a lot about it though.
Dr. Wright: Was this experiment strange? Magical even?
Jacobsen: Oh yeah. He told me not to tell anyone how it works, which is dumb because he never told me how it worked in the first place, so all I can say is that magic, or something weird I can't explain is exactly what he was experimenting on.
Dr. Wright: Right. "Plicker" is a great scientific feat, and I'm inferring you are already aware of that. Can you walk me through the process on how it was made?
Jacobsen: I'm probably the worst person to ask, I mostly managed media and helped with designing the stickers. I'll try my best though. So the first few parts were done by Evan in some insanely over-the-top secrecy. He would create the actual stickers, he passed it on to Julio, who would do a lot of architecture and the actually building that would be manifested, that would then be passed on to me, and I would add some design to the blueprints, as well as the cover of the stickers, then everything would go right back to Evan and Zayne, but Zayne got fired, so just Evan, and then out comes a Plicker.
Dr. Wright: Thank you, i will have that all noted. I have no further questions, so I'd like to know if there's anything else weird, magical, or just worth sharing?
Jacobsen: Nope, that's it. I think I've told you every weird magic stuff there is to tell.
Dr. Wright: Okay, thank you. In that case, this interview is over.
<End Log, 7:27 AM>
Closing Statement: After the interview, Arnold Jacobsen was transferred to a Standard Humanoid containment cell for future interrogation and to monitor him.
Addendum 7411-c: The following is all parts of the "Plicker" website that were seized and archived. Keep in mind that a lot has not been archived so this is only around half of the entire website.

The Beginning: This all started when I was moving into my new home. I thought to myself:
"How will I fit all this stuff?"
And I thought that specifically because my last house was much bigger than my new one. At first, I did what most people would do, and I sold some things and donated others, but it wasn't enough. I realized there were many valuables of mine that I needed close to me. So, what did I do? I set out with a plan to turn an unused part of my home into a storage area. It started with my garage, since I had never used one, but after my car was stolen, I realized it was necessary. I then thought to myself:
"What about the pool?"
Truth was, I was never a good swimmer, I only had the pool there for friends and family. So as a logical human being I began to drain my pool, but while watching a tutorial, a very interesting advertisement appeared. It was a sports company advertisement that showed dolphins jumping in and out of a basketball court, as if it was a pool and I thought:
"What if I have it over my pool?"
Yes, this would cost a load of money, if it weren't for some recent developments I had made. These developments lead to the very first Plicker prototype.
Trial and Error, the Creation of Plicker: I set to work on a little experiment. A sticker that upon placed in the pool, would have materials attached rise to the top. At first (okay the first five times) it didn't work. The materials wouldn't stick together and sometimes stayed sunken. On my spare time I continued working on my undisclosed recent developments, and eventually found a way to combine the two.
I then began making a prototype-2 which worked nearly flawlessly. And I say nearly because there were flaws. The prototype was of a sidewalk with a lamppost, and although the sidewalk worked fine, the lamppost didn't. I kept experimenting with the prototype but just couldn't get it right, so I scrapped it and began from scratch all over again.
This time I had friends on board. They were shocked with what I had created and agreed to help me, one friend even proposed to sell it, which is why the website exists now. We all began working on a third prototype, which we called, prototype-Plicker (a combination of pool and sticker). This one didn't just work, it worked absolutely flawlessly. After trying this prototype again and again in multiple different ways I knew one thing for sure:
We had done it, a scientific milestone.
Except it wasn't. This is because I would not share the "recipe" with anyone, but I would share the product, and that's where this site comes in.
Plicker, The Cool Pool Sticker: After spending nearly a month working tirelessly on this project, I took my friends advice and started to work on a website. As we made the website, we made social media accounts as well, "hyping up" the international release. It was doubted by many, in fact it was doubted by all, but I knew a way to eliminate the doubt. Live television was the said method. I reached out to multiple news anchors and gave them my product to try on live television for free. I decided to remain anonymous so although I wasn't on the news, my product was. And from that, sales skyrocketed, and I was making more money than I thought was feasible, that is until it all came crumbling down.

Recently it has come to our knowledge that an unknown organization by the name of "The Cool Poolz" is going to seize and close down our website. To be fair, we were expecting this for a while. One of my friends received an email that was meant for me, and it read:
To: ████@SCiPNET
From: tpereira5@SCiPNET
Subject: Closing Down of Your Site
Due to contract, The Cool Poolz Foundation will seize and take down the plicker.com website, because we have bought it from you! Furthermore, all of your profit will be extracted and used for undisclosed actions. Any trace of your product's existence will be given directly to us per contract. You have around an hour until we disable all of your Plicker accounts. I will no longer be contacting this email.

Subject: Re:Who What When Why Where?
To start, I don't own the site, I just take care of the business email. Secondly, how do I trust you aren't just some teenage hackers? There are absolutely zero traces of you "buying" Plicker, no contract at all. Also, what the hell is SCiPNET and why and how was my email changed to this format?! I will be making sure that you don't do anything with our site.
P.S. We'll just create a new one. There was no contract!
-New User, Department Unadded
Just so you all, my customers and Cool Poolz, are aware, I know that there is something deeper behind this. I never signed a contract of any sorts. I will find out who you are.
Quick Rant:
It has also come to my realization that I don't think Plicker is as much a hit as I thought it was. I was looking through hours of Plicker footage and comparing that to our sales, sure we have over a thousand a month but, for something "magical" there isn't as much interest as I expected. Furthermore, I think this product was, and I really hate to say this…dumb? Yes, I am happy with it, yes, I made money, and yes, it was useful to me, but to sell it I found didn't do much. People mostly buy this to see the realness of the product, not because they want or even have a use for it. I don't feel very well about a product like this, that I poured my heart on, deep down being a failure to me. I think if it wasn't for the intrusion of this organization, I wouldn't have ranted on about this in the first place.
But I refuse to accept defeat. Although this may be the beginning to an end, I'll try whatever I can to keep this afloat. If you are truly interested in purchasing a Plicker, please consider going through with it.
Update: The Cool Poolz Foundation have already taken all Plickers that have been bought and used. Customers are getting mad and confused and I apologize, I will make sure you receive your items.
Update 2: The Cool Poolz Foundation seems to have removed any traces of Plicker, hopefully they're just relocating it. Weirdly enough, people are starting to believe Plicker is a hoax. I swear if they're behind that I will find their company and sue them. Fucking rats, no contract, none, no mention of them ever, I'm sure of it. I'll beat them to (Won't finish the sentence).
Update 3: There is a countdown for the deletion of this website. All of my electronics are only set on editor mode in this page, and I can't do anything else on them. My credit cards all don't seem to work. And they have written a message to me telling me of their true intentions. I won't be taken to "questioning" because of a little product. Plus, after taking Plicker, hell, everything from me, I wouldn't be shocked if they took me prisoner too. I don't care what stay they would provide me, they took my life from me, so why should I listen to them? I'll do everything in my power to evade capture. Sickening monsters.
Luckily my credit card is on a different name, checkmate.
Update 4: I still had time for another, so I thought I'd share some thoughts.
1. I have given up hope on bringing back Plicker, now I really just want a normal life.
2. I can't contact anyone, and my family or friends haven't come to see me, I am afraid they forgot of my existence. My entire life, everything, all of it was taken from me from whatever the fuck Cool Poolz is. They must be some government organization in disguise that's jealous of my scientific achievements. All I can do is write to my three daily viewers. Whoever you may be, the Cool Poolz Foundation is after me. Send help.
3. I'm leaving my life behind, haven't found a reason to stay here but so many to go. I don't really know how to start a life from scratch. I plan to change my look, identity, and forge full documents, hopefully that's enough work. Anything is better than being taken prisoner, or whatever will happen if they find me. Not to mention if every relative has forgotten about me, I'll have new people remember me. Yes, I've lost hope on Plicker, but hopefully I can cling onto a hope to live. I'll try new things, travel maybe, and if it so happens, be captured when life is fulfilled. I think I've grieved this enough, as acceptance being that last stage, I accept defeat, but only on Plicker. maybe this was a mistake, but I'll try and try again until a mistake isn't made again.
4. Forget leaving the country. I'll hide from these bastards until I think it's time to start something new. I know a place they can't find me. Checkmate again, you suck at this game of chess Cool Poolz.
5. Like 30 seconds till deletion so this one's quick. Thanks for noticing me and buying my products, or not, idk who's reading, goodbye.

Incident 7411-b: After the containment of SCP-7411-1 and the people behind SCP-7411, SCP-7411-2 was tracked down and his home was searched. The following is an incident report.
Incident Report 7411-2f, Epsilon-6
At around 9:15 AM, MTF Epsilon-6 arrived at SCP-7411-2s home to capture and contain it.
After 36 minutes of extensive search, SCP-7411-2 was not found. To finalize the search, Agent Eight lifted an instance of SCP-7411-1 from the pool. Immediately following this, it was noted that a high-pressure stream of water ejected itself from the pool, which lasted exactly one minute.
Inside the pool, Agent Eight located another instance of SCP-7411-1, that had not yet manifested any object. This instance contained a photo of SCP-7411-2, and it was subsequently extracted from the pool and sent to containment in Site-31.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7411-2 is to be kept in a 22x22 meter containment chamber. The instance of SCP-7411-1, now named SCP-7411-3, that holds SCP-7411-2 is to be at the bottom of a pool in the containment chamber and to always be activated. 24/7 surveillance of SCP-7411-2 is strictly required.
Description: SCP-7411-2 is a Caucasian male in his late twenties or early thirties. Through anomalous means, SCP-7411-2 merged itself with an instance of SCP-7411-1, now deemed SCP-7411-3.
SCP-7411-3 functions the same as SCP-7411-1 would, when put in a pool, or a body of chlorinated water, SCP-7411-3 manifests a small two-story home over the pool. It also manifests SCP-7411-2 inside the home. Due to its anomalous properties, researchers have not been able to breach the home or communicate with SCP-7411-2 in any way. Furthermore, SCP-7411-3 does not seem to be physically liftable, contrary to SCP-7411-1.
Although communication with SCP-7411-2 has been deemed unsuccessful, it is clear that SCP-7411-2 is aware of his situation, and he will write cards in envelopes, which he slips through SCP-7411-3's mail slot, though no letters from researchers have been able to be sent inside the home.
Addendum 7411-d: Researcher Dr. Ridley Wright interviewed a mother who lived in SCP-7411-2's neighborhood.
Interviewed: Redd, Mariana
Interviewer: Dr. Ridley Wright
Foreword: After lab reports revealed that the jet stream water from SCP-7411-2's pool was laced with anti-amnestics, Dr. Ridley Wright interviewed affected locals to find out more about SCP-7411-2, this is one of many logged interviews.
<Begin Log, 4:05 PM>
Dr. Wright: Hello, ma'am, I am working with a government organization and I want to ask you just a few questions if that's alright with you.
Redd: Um..okay, sure.
Dr. Wright: Perfect! To begin, do you know of a man named Evan who lives down the street from you?
Redd: Oh yeah, definitely. I have like five of his weird gadgets for my kids inside. Why, is he in trouble?
Dr. Wright: Not exactly, I just want to learn more about him if that's okay. You mentioned gadgets, as a few other locals have, can you describe to me how these gadgets are made, what they do, etcetera?
Redd: Mhm. I think he made different gadgets for different kids. He's an inventor I think, so there would be a few new ones monthly. Like I said, I have more than a couple of them, and I'm sure the other families do to.
Dr. Wright: Gotcha. Were these contraptions strange in any way? Was he ever weird in any way?
Redd: Nope. They were normal toys, they were weird in their own ways but nothing like his Picker…Plucker, ah forget it. I'm guessing you mean weird in the weird magical way. And as for him, not at all. He was a really nice man. Gave gifts away for free. Near the end of last month or so he did start to hide from us more, always in his house. But other than that, completely normal, the kids called him Willy Wonka. So no, nothing weird.
Dr. Wright: Perfect. By any chance could I have one of those gadgets?
Redd: Don't see much reason but I'm not gonna say no. Give me a minute.
Mariana Redd retreated to her home and came back eight minutes later with a toy in hand.
Redd: This is probably the least used one. Even still the kids love it so if you could give it back soon that would be nice, if not, that's fine I guess.
Dr. Wright: What exactly is it?
Redd: He built it like a year or two ago for my boy. It's supposed to be one of those monkeys with the cymbals in their hands, but it's an elephant with cymbals in his hand. For whatever reason it has an explorer's hat and a guitar on its back. It was what my son requested though, and he was six so I don't blame him.
Dr. Wright: Thank you ma'am. To make sure I wrote everything down though, Evan was an inventor, invented gifts for the children, was nice, but after Plicker became secluded. Is that all?
Redd: Oh, it's Plicker, whoops. And yeah, that's pretty much everything to note. Can I go back now?
Dr. Wright: You're free to go ma'am. Have a nice day.

[BEGIN LOG]
4:22 PM: After multiple hours and no sign of SCP-7411-2 being inside SCP-7411-3, An extensive search began.
4:25 PM: It was found that suddenly, the door to the inside of SCP-7411-3 could be opened, and anyone could enter easily. And so, researchers did with caution.
4:28 PM: With the help of multiple researchers and Epsilon-11 Operatives, the home was extensively searched, hardly any sign of SCP-7411-2 was found.
4:39 PM: After the search of the downstairs area had been completed, researchers made their way upstairs, the location of SCP-7411-2's bedroom and office.
4:44 PM: In the office area, multiple books, papers, and documents both online and physical were found, nearly all in a cryptic language, that is still yet to be deciphered. Very few writings were found in any human language, one was a book named "The Factory of Magic" by Oswald K.L., who does not seem to be a real human being.
4:52 PM: The bedroom of SCP-7411-2 was found to have multiple envelopes and cards as well as a bulletin board with multiple pictures, that to researchers, seem to have no known correlation between each-other.
5:06 PM: A series of documents was found in a manila folder titled "Plans" inside a closet on the second floor. The contents of this paper did seem to be plans for something, though it isn't exactly clear what.
5:22 PM: After the extensive search was over, researchers left with multiple pieces of evidence to explore.

Addendum 7411-3a: An excerpt from "The Factory of Magic" by Oswald K.L.
Chapter 7: The Magic is Normal.
| When you are dealing with an absurd number of magical inconsistencies in life, it is better to make it feel normal. At first, this task is no short of difficult, because magic isn't normal. You will feel sometimes that your daily tasks become easy, you will lose in interest in trying anything new, and you will find that everything you do try is not scary, nor is it difficult.
| This complete loss of challenge in your life is a big change. Humans are born to thirst for new challenges and experiences, but with the new-found magic, it all becomes easy. A task such as getting a flat tire in the middle of the highway is something that is stressed about by many, but with what you have learned you just pump it back up without even thinking about it. Without challenge, there is no experience.
| Of course, just because you won't find new and fun experiences, does not mean you can't have fun at all. What you need to do to even consider using your magic for your emotional benefit, is accept it as part of the new you. If you keep thinking you are vastly different from others, it may not yield the results you are hoping for. As I have discussed, HAMBURGER is your best route to using magic safely.
| Overuse of magic can make everything feel meaningless and boring. That's why you want to take it slow and study your magic for certain things one at a time. If you go all-out at once, you will have nothing left to experience in short of a year. In this case, less is more, and I need you to remember that if you plan on creating anything with your magic.
| On this topic of inventing, yes, magic is normal, but only for you. Although I have discussed this several times I want to stress the fact that magic is your secrecy. If you do create anything, it's for your personal benefit. Do not sell anything, especially don't let others know of it's existence.
It is to note that this book is likely discussing the discovery of the anomalous and how to control it without issues. The page shown was the last bookmarked page, signaling that after being told not to capitalize on an anomalous product, SCP-7411-2 ignored the warnings.
Addendum 7411-3b: Some of the contents in the "Plans" manila folder.
On the right is a blueprint that was found in the "Plans" folder. The blueprint was labeled in Latin, translating to "Warehouse/Factory".
The blueprint found in the "Plans" manila folder
It was noted by Site-31 Architects that some areas of the blueprint either did not make sense or would only makes sense through anomalous means. Though through the title and architect opinions, it was determined that the blueprint was indeed a warehouse or factory of sorts.
The blueprint contained a single story of a likely multi-story building. The building had what seemed to be shelves and seven different rooms ranging in size. Also included in the blur print were notes on the back, written in English, that read:
Sufficient space for shelving, imports and exports of multiple goods, and conveyer belts are needed. Projected expenses on the file ProExp1.png. The rest of the blueprint is on Secret Entrance 5 on the Plicker website.
The following seems to be a business proposal created by SCP-7411-2.
Business Name: warehouse of magic magic palace magic mania Dr Magic Undecided
Logo: File Name: logodrafts.png
Proposal: Undecided is a business that will sell one-of-a-kind revolutionary toys. These toys will be magical, yes, magical. They will each be mass-produced and different from one-another. The toys will all have their own sets of magical traits for all children around the world. Bringing something like this to the spotlight could make it the biggest corporation of all time. We don't have to stop at toys either, flying cars, real hoverboards, sci-fi looking phones. We could change the world.
Target Market: Everyone. Our target market is everyone. Robot caretakers for the elderly and for infants, wonderful talking teddy-bears for toddlers, working hoverboards for teens, you name it, we'll make it. Not only that, but there is no reason to fear for supplies, magic's got that covered.
Projected Expenses: A few millions to make a factory and warehouse, but pay for supplies isn't necessary, we don't even need employees, we'll just make them! Once a warehouse and a factory (or multiple) are built, everything else will be an ease.
Conclusion: Undecided will revolutionize the world in never-before-seen ways. If someone wants something, chances are, undecided can make it. Help me make this project a reality.
Note: Scrap this draft.
Addendum 7411-3c: An envelope containing a letter was found on the carpet in-front of SCP-7411-3. When opened, it simply read the following:
Front:
The anomalous world awaits me.
~SCP-7411-2, Evan.
Back:
You can search my home plenty, anything you find is nothing short of useless. I have made better copies of everything, deleted every file on my computer. And the text on almost everything is in Magicantus, a language only the anomalous can grasp. Good luck.
Addendum 7411-2a: After this major series of events, one last update was added to SCP-7411-2s containment procedures and descrption.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7411-2 has not yet been located. When it is located, it is to be held in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site-19. The cell is to have at least one reality anchor placed in it to prevent SCP-7411-2 from using its yet unknown anomalous abilities. The cell is to be monitored 24/7 by Site guards and research can only be conducted on SCP-7411-2 if he is deemed to be safe, or requested by the Site Administrator.
Description: SCP-7411-2 is a Caucasian male in its late twenties or early thirties. SCP-7411-2 does not possess any anomalous physical traits.
SCP-7411-2 has discovered the anomalous and how to control it, having a range of anomalous abilities. SCP-7411-2, although not hostile, seems to be well-versed in the anomalous world, with an understanding of it just as great, if not greater than the Foundation. For the reason that the Foundation has not discovered its abilities and limits to its full extent, many precautions must be taken to assure the safety of those in its vicinity.
