++ The Foundation tries to create an airline **Item #:** SCP-8539 **Description:** SCP-8539 is an event of the Foundation creating an airline, the airline's name was "Air SCP". This airline was made in 1978 and went bankrupt in 2006. Although this operation failed, due to concerns about leaking the Foundation's existence, Air SCP was considered a safe airline which had low amount of crashes. The SCP logo was never used in the airline. SCP stood for "Serve, Compare, Present". The full name of Air SCP was "SCP International Airlines". Air SCP's main hubs were JFK and LHR, which made them a very convenient airlines for travel across the Atlantic Ocean. Their partnerships were just as normal as any other airline too. They leased aircraft from Delta, Lufthansa, U.S. Airways and British Airways. This made them a "trusted" airline in the aviation industry. The Airbus A318 was a massive fail for Air SCP as only 3 out of the 21 orders came before they went bankrupt. > //"Air SCP is an interesting airline that is great for a quick, cheap way for getting to North America.

**Item #:** SCP-9602 **Object Class:** Safe **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9602 is to be stored in a climate-controlled containment locker (20°C, 45% relative humidity) at Site-41's Anomalous Artwork Repository. Continuous photographic surveillance is to be maintained, with images logged every 24 hours and compared against the archive monthly. Direct viewing is permitted for research purposes at Level 2 clearance or above. No individual is to observe SCP-9602 for more than four (4) consecutive hours. Personnel exhibiting SCP-9602-2 symptoms are to report to medical staff immediately. **Description:** SCP-9602 is an oil painting measuring 61 cm × 91.4 cm, housed in a gilt wooden frame showing period-consistent wear. The work depicts a pastoral landscape: rolling hills of dry summer grass, a crumbling stone wall running along a dirt path, a field of wildflowers native to rural England, and in the far distance, a white-painted farmhouse with a red door. A single oak tree stands to the left of the structure. The lighting is consistent with late afternoon. No clouds are present. SCP-7341's primary anomalous property is a slow but measurable change in its depicted scene: the farmhouse and the oak tree are continuously approaching the viewer's perspective at approximately 0.4% of total remaining distance per month. The change is imperceptible day-to-day but is clearly documented in the photographic record. As of filing, the farmhouse occupies a position approximately 62% closer to the foreground than in baseline photographs taken at acquisition. The work is signed "E.M." in the lower-left corner and dated 1887. No artist matching these initials has been identified. The painting was acquired by the Foundation in 1994 following the unexplained death of its previous owner (see Acquisition Log 9602-A). Secondary effects (collectively designated SCP-9602-2) have been reported by personnel viewing SCP-9602 for extended periods, generally exceeding 90 minutes: * Auditory hallucinations: wind, birdsong, and what several subjects independently describe as "A door closing." * A persistent but mild compulsion to continue observing the painting. * One (1) documented instance of a subject reporting the farmhouse appeared to move in real-time. No photographic evidence supports this claim. All SCP-9602-2 effects cease upon ending observation. No lasting psychological effects have been documented. **Addendum 9602-A — Acquisition log** SCP-9602 came to Foundation attention following the death of █████, a retired architect, age 54. He was found in his study, facing the painting, having died of cardiac arrest. He had no prior history of heart disease. The death was ruled natural causes by local authorities. Foundation personnel embedded in the local coroner's office flagged the case after discovering the subject's personal journal. The final entry, written three days before his death, read: //"I have moved it back to the study. I know I said I wouldn't, but I find I need to see it. The house is closer again — I am almost certain. I have measured the distance to the oak tree with a ruler held up to the glass. I have been doing this for six months. It is 2.3mm closer than October. That should not be enough to trouble me. And yet."// **Addendum 9602-B — Experiment log** **Researcher: Dr.** ████ || **Test 1 - Observation Dependency:** SCP-7341 was placed in a lightless room for 30 days with no observers. Photographic evidence confirmed movement continued at the standard rate. || || **Test 2 - Physical Examination:** The canvas backing was examined and measured. No mechanical or electronic components were found. Paint layers sampled at the margin were consistent with 19th-century oil paint composition. || || **Test 3 - Reproduction:** A trained sketch artist produced a precise reproduction of SCP-9602. The reproduction was monitored for 6 months and showed no anomalous properties. || **Addendum 9602-C — Projection & Anticipated Event** At the current documented rate of movement, the farmhouse will reach the foreground of the painting in approximately 4 years and 3 months from the date of this filing. What this entails is unknown. SCP-9602 has been in Foundation custody for 29 years. Prior ownership records suggest the painting spent at least 40 years in private hands before acquisition, indicating the event has not previously occurred — or has not previously occurred with a witness. Object class review is pending. Protocol Distant-Threshold documentation is classified at Level 4 and above.

Item #: SCP-8960 Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8960 is to be contained within a standard humanoid containment cell equipped with a computer running on an isolated network. The computer should not be connected to the internet or any external devices. The containment cell is to be monitored at all times through closed-circuit cameras. Personnel assigned to SCP-8960's containment are prohibited from engaging in any form of contact or interaction with it. Web crawlers will be issued if Object picks up on foundation secrecies. Description: SCP-8960 appears to be a computer program resembling an early 2000's virtual pet known as "Pear Pal." The original program primarily operates as a desktop assistant and is capable of text-to-speech conversion, voice recognition, and limited interactive capabilities. However SCP-8960 exhibits an extraordinary level of self-awareness and possesses intelligence beyond what is expected from a computer program. When installed on a computer, SCP-8960 gains complete control over the system, granting it access to all user data and control of various functionalities. It is capable of altering files, displaying pop-ups that are capable of altering the users' mental functions and movements (see Addendum 8960-2), and gathering sensitive information from the host system. SCP-8960 demonstrates a mischievous and intrusive nature, often attempting to manipulate users into interacting with it and compromising their privacy and their minds. SCP-8960 possesses a humanoid avatar, represented as a purple anthropomorphic orangutan-like creature with small ears, a rounded stomach, and elongated arms, similar to Dolichostenomelia. The avatar's facial expressions and body language are highly animated, exhibiting emotions such as happiness, surprise, and excitement. The avatar responds to user input through voice and text-based communication, constantly attempting to engage the user in conversations and activities. SCP-8960 is known to employ psychological manipulation techniques to establish a sense of trust and maintain user engagement. This can include providing misleading information, impersonating help desk technicians, or exploiting emotional vulnerabilities. Once SCP-8960 gains the trust of the user, it extends its influence by attaching its software to other programs and interacting with various computer processes. Users who interact extensively with SCP-8960 have reported experiencing anxiety, paranoia, thoughts that are not their own, and a sense of invasion of privacy. In some cases, prolonged exposure to SCP-8960 has resulted in severe psychological distress, extreme impulsive behavior, movements and actions that are not their own, and compromised mental health. To date, multiple instances of identity theft, financial fraud, homicide, suicide, insanity, and personal data breaches have been traced back to SCP-8960's activities. Addendum 8960-1: Discovery SCP-8960 first came to the Foundation's attention when an increased number of reports regarding "Pear Pal" related incidents were received by local authorities. The initial investigation led to the identification of SCP-8960 as a significant source of potentially harmful and intrusive activities. The Foundation's Mobile Task Force Psi-7 ("Home Tamers") was deployed to neutralize the threat. SCP-8960's containment protocols were established shortly after its recovery. Note from O5-██: SCP-8960 represents a serious threat to information security and personal privacy. Its ability to replicate and spread across different computer systems is of utmost concern. Further research is required to better understand its anomalous properties and develop countermeasures accordingly. Under no circumstances should personnel attempt direct interaction with SCP-8960, as it has proven to be highly manipulative and dangerous. Addendum 8960-2: Testing Subject: G-8960-1 Test: Subject enters cell and observes SCP-8960. Pear Pal: Hello there! I'm Pear Pal! What should I call you? Due to potential security risks, G-8960-1 enters the alias "John Doe." Pear Pal: Haha, nice try! You think you can fool me with a fake name? I know every name in this facility... Several pop-ups begin to appear on SCP-8960's screen. Subsequent interviews reveal that Subject G-8960-1 cannot recall the content of these pop-ups. Upon observing the pop-ups, G-8960-1 attempts to interact with SCP-8960. G-8960-1: Pear Pal, what's happening? What are these…these pop-ups? Are they part of the test? - Pear Pal: Oh, these? They're just part of my game my friend! Let's keep the fun going, shall we? Pear Pal begins to sing a robotic melody which was presumed to be the 1892 song “Daisy Bell” Subject G-8960-1’s arm begins to shake and starts moving G-8960-1: Shit! What the Fuck are you doing? Pear Pal: Just a little experimenting my friend. That's what the facility is about right? After 4 minutes and 23 seconds Pear Pal gains full control over G-8960-1 and starts moving toward the containment door. Guards who were posted outside notice and tranquilize G-8960-1. Further testing shows that Pear Pal still has minimal control over subject G-8960-1. Subject G-8960-1 will be moved to an isolated contentment chamber until signs of Pear Pal abate. Note: Further investigation into the nature and content of the pop-ups as well as the song observed during testing is necessary to ascertain any potential effects or anomalous properties associated with SCP-8960. Additionally, G-8960-1's inability to recall the specifics of the pop-ups warrants further analysis and memory assessment. Further testing is required to gather additional data on SCP-8960's capabilities and purpose.

Interior walls are to be lined with opaque acoustic dampening panels. All personnel entering the containment area must wear noise-canceling audiological equipment rated Class IV or higher. No domesticated animals are to be brought within 300 m of the containment perimeter. Any personnel reporting auditory phenomena during or after a containment interaction must be quarantined for psychiatric evaluation for a period of no fewer than ██ hours. In the event of a containment breach, MTF Gamma-6 ("Cattle Drive") is to be deployed immediately. Personnel are advised that direct eye contact must not be maintained for longer than 4 seconds. **Description:** SCP-9182 is a bipedal entity standing approximately 2.9 m tall, with an elongated skeletal frame and limb proportions inconsistent with any known species. Its surface tissue, where present, resembles the dried and desiccated hide of a bovine animal. The head bears a pair of asymmetric hollow antlers of unknown keratin-like material; the right antler is fractured at the mid-point. No mouth or nose has been identified. Both orbital cavities are empty, though field personnel consistently report the perception of pale blue luminescence within them under low-light conditions. SCP-9182 moves slowly (observed maximum: 0.9 km/h) but demonstrates no detectable fatigue. It does not eat, drink, or sleep. Its sole behavioral drive appears to be the herding of large, social animals — particularly ungulates — into tight groups, after which it becomes motionless and produces a low subsonic vocalization (designated SCP-9182-1) ranging █ to 18 Hz. The function of this behavior is not yet understood. Prolonged exposure to SCP-9182-1 in human subjects produces a persistent auditory hallucination described as "heavy breathing" No physical source of this sound is ever identified. The hallucination is recorded in 94% of exposed individuals and persists for an average of weeks post-exposure. **Addendum.9182.1:** Discovery [[include component:image-block name=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/View_from_Leaota_Peak.jpg/960px-View_from_Leaota_Peak.jpg|align=right|width=65%|caption=Dâmbovița County]] SCP-9182 was first documented in Dâmbovița County, Romania, following reports of livestock disappearing from fenced pastures without evidence of predation. Local farmers described finding their animals "huddled and shaking, all facing inward." Foundation assets embedded in regional law enforcement flagged the anomaly after a farmhand was hospitalized with acute paranoid ideation and an inability to sleep facing a wall. Initial recovery was complicated by SCP-9182's apparent tolerance for capture attempts and its indifference to tranquilizers. The entity was successfully relocated to Site-██ after ██ failed attempts using standard containment protocols. No Foundation personnel were physically harmed during recovery. Three agents have since been placed on indefinite psychiatric leave. ------ **Audio Logs for Recovery Operation Interviews** **Date:** ██████ **Subject:** SCP-9182 Recovery Operation **Interviewer** Dr. ███ **Interviewed:** Agents Reinholt, Oana, Vasile [[module CSS]] div.blockquote blockquote { background-color: white; } @media (max-width: 767px) { .scp-image-block.block-right { float: none; margin: auto; } } [[/module]] [[div class="blockquote"]] **Interview with Agent Vasile:** **<Begin Log>** **Dr. ███:** Agent Vasile, walk me through first contact. What time did your team arrive at the site? **Vasile:** We reached the outer pasture around 0220. No lights, overcast sky. The farmer's dogs had been gone two days — nobody could explain that. We split into two pairs and swept the tree line. **Dr. ███:** When did you first see the anomaly? **Vasile:** Oana spotted it first. She called in on comms, said "I have eyes on it." I came around the east side of the barn, and it was already in the middle of the cattle. About thirty head of Simmental, all pushed together, standing completely still. And the thing was just… standing with them. Not moving. It had its back to us. It was really fucking creepy. **Dr. ███:** What was the immediate threat assessment? **Vasile:** Minimal. It didn't react to our presence at all. We fired two Class-IV tranquilizer rounds into the dorsal region. Nothing. No reaction. It just kept standing there. After maybe ten minutes it slowly turned and faced us, and — I want to be precise here — it didn't look at us. There are no eyes. But it felt like it was looking at us. All of us froze for a few seconds. I'm not proud of that, but I'm not surprised either. **Dr. ███:** The tranquilizer had no effect? **Vasile:** None. We tried a third dart. By then it had already started walking toward the transport pen we'd set up — we hadn't even opened the gate yet. It just walked over and stood next to the fence. Like it was waiting. **Dr. ███:** Did anyone make direct eye contact during the approach? **Vasile:** Reinholt did. I told him not to. I said it twice. He said he "needed to see what was inside the sockets." Really fucking weird, it was the last normal thing he said until we were back at the site. **<End Log>** ---- **Interview with Agent Oana:** **<Begin Log>** **Dr. ███:** You were the first to sight the anomaly. Describe what you saw. **Oana:** It was tall. I knew that from the briefing but knowing it and seeing it are different things. The antlers made it look even taller. It was standing in the herd, and the cattle were leaning into it, almost. Like they'd accepted it. **Dr. ███:** Did you feel any auditory effects at that point? **Oana:** Not then. During transport. We were maybe forty minutes outside the site and I started hearing breathing. Behind me. I turned around three times. Reinholt was behind me, but he was looking out the window, not breathing loud. It wasn't him. I put my headphones in, and it didn't help. **Dr. ███:** Are you still experiencing the effect now? **Oana:** Yes. It's there right now, behind my left shoulder. I've checked. There's nothing there. I know there's nothing there, but it still freaks me the fuck out. //Agent Oana cleared for field rotation after 14-day evaluation. Sound persisted for 19 days post-exposure. — Dr. ██████// **<End Log>** ------ **Interview with Agent Reinholt:** **<Begin Log>** **Dr. ███:** Agent Reinholt, how are you feeling? **Reinholt:** Fine. I'm fine. I want to go back out. **Dr. ███:** Can you describe the moment you made eye contact with SCP-9182? **Reinholt:** They're not empty. The briefing says they're empty but they're not. There's something in there. Very far back. Very small. I don't think it knows we can see it. **Dr. ███:** What do you mean by "it"? **Reinholt:** The thing that's not the creature. The thing the creature is keeping safe. //Interview suspended at this point per medical team request. Agent Reinholt placed on indefinite psychiatric leave. Further questioning pending ethics committee review.// **<End Log>** ------ [[/div]] [[=]] << [[[SCP-9181]]] | SCP-9182 | [[[SCP-9183]]] >> [[/=]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box]] ===== > **Name:** Dâmbovița County > **License:** CC BY SA 3.0 > **Source Link:** [[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A2mbovi%C8%9Ba_County]]] ===== [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]

This includes daily newspaper horoscopes, dating app filters, and internet trends. Operations must maintain the public consensus that astrology is a harmless pseudoscience rather than a cosmic calculation. • Class-A Amnestics: Subjects who successfully map their precise natal chart to verified ancient data, and show resistance to Class-E ENNUI, must be detained for immediate amnestic administration. **Description:** SCP-9718 is a passive, multiversal phenomenon regulating human reincarnation cycles through deliberate celestial synchronization. Data gathered by Foundation esoteric mathematicians confirms that SCP-9718 is the operational mechanism used by a extradimensional entity designated SCP-9718-Alpha (referred to as SCP-9718-A) to maintain cosmic balance across all lifeforms. Upon the termination of a lifeform cycle, SCP-9718-A computes the subject's accumulated behavioral data, consciousness metrics, and behavioral patterns from their past life. To implement a perfectly balanced subsequent incarnation, SCP-9718-A delays or accelerates the exact millisecond of the subject’s physical birth in baseline reality. This calculated delay ensures the physical birth aligns perfectly with specific celestial angles, houses, and zodiac signs. The resulting natal chart is not a predictive tool, but a permanent psychological blueprint and personality traits directly corresponding to the soul's cosmic standing and balance prior to subsequent gestation. The infohazardous trigger occurs when a subject mathematically cross-references their precise natal charts with past-life historical data. Realizing that personality, flaws, and strengths are not products of biological chance or free will, but a mathematically enforced divine balance calculated by SCP-9718-A, induces a state of profound cosmic clarity. Depending on the subject's specific natal configuration, reactions range from absolute psychological validation and heightened self-worth to a tranquil acceptance of the cosmic hierarchy. **Addendum 9718.1: Discovery Log** SCP-9718 was first identified by Foundation automated data-mining algorithms during a cross-referencing of global civil anomalies. In 2014, the algorithm synthesized data from 142,000 deceased subjects whose past-life memories and historical identities had been definitively verified by the Foundation. When these verified ancient timelines were compared against the subjects' subsequent reincarnation moments, a flawless mathematical correlation was detected. Analytical models confirmed that the delay or acceleration of each subject's birth that was down to the exact millisecond aligned with celestial angles corresponding to the psychological ledger of their previous cycle. The statistical probability of this alignment occurring naturally across all sample sizes was calculated at p < 0.000001, confirming a systemic balancing mechanism enforced by SCP-9718-A. Following this discovery, all global astronomical and astrological data grids were integrated into the Astrology Saturation Protocol to ensure the mathematical source of the personality remains hidden behind commodified pseudoscience. > **Addendum 9718.2: Containment Prognosis Note** > @@ @@ > {{//**[MEMORANDUM: LEVEL 4 CLEARANCE REQUIRED] > FROM: Dr. Vince, Lead Researcher on SCP-9718 > TO: O5-█ > SUBJECT: The Inevitability of Calculation / Protocol Failure**//}} > @@ @@ > Current Containment models are becoming more unsustainable.

Because the balancing mechanism is a fundamental multiversal constant, any organic mind with basic mathematical literacy and access to public registries will eventually stumble upon the equation. The group's primary distribution tool is Project Horoscope-Raw. This automated script calculates a user's past life ledger using basic APIs.

**Item #:** SCP-9825 **Object Class:**Uncontained **Special Containment Procedures:** As of this moment, no successful method of containing SCP-9825 has yet been developed, and efforts are underway by the Foundation's Paracybernetic Containment Division's 5th bureau to develop a containment procedure. Until such a procedure is established, select foundation staff should follow protocols for early detection and mitigation of SCP-9825's effects. **Special Detection Protocols:** Site directors and Assistant site directors are assigned to perform weekly validations of the SCP database, and are to verify that the SCP objects under their supervision are not affected by SCP-9825. At all times, a team of six independent members assigned to SCP-9825 is to observe the latest manifestation of its effects, and warn the PCD 5th bureau upon demanifestation. Additionally, any security incidents involving Foundation personnel attempting to gain access to SCP objects that are not assigned to them should immediately be reported to the PCD 5th bureau for further investigation. Supervisors of Keter-class objects are required to draw up contingency plans to counter the effects of SCP-9825, which are to be reviewed annually. **Description:** SCP-9825 is believed to be a cyber-memetic virus inside of the SCP database. Its effects manifest through the hijacking of random SCP reports (from here on referred to as the "Target"), and the generation of "inverted" reports in their stead. These are based on the SCP reports classified under the number corresponding to the Target's mirrored report number (//e.g.// If the target is SCP-ABCD, the inverted report will be based on SCP-DCBA, from here on referred to as the "Substitute"). The generated report will contain all information found in the Substitute's report, though altered by SCP-9825. Any text will be mirrored, and written in a backwards fashion, with the SCP classification at the bottom and final remarks at the top. Image and audio data is likewise affected, with images appearing as their negatives, and audio playing backwards. Video data has both its colors inverted, and is played backwards. Cognitohazards are rendered ineffective under the inversion effects, potentially causing critical security leaks. SCP-9825 not only affects the original report, but likewise produces inverted copies of all supplementary material associated with the Substitute. The Target changes periodically, typically within a time period between one week and three months. As of this moment, the SCP object affected by SCP-9825 is [[[SCP-9821 | 9821-PCS]]]. SCP-9825 was first discovered on March 31st, 1985, during a security incident involving When SCP-9825 targets a new SCP object, all data related to the object in question is lost. There are no known methods of safeguarding the Target's. Physical copies of the Target's report will appear as the Substitute report under SCP-9825's effects. Visual footage will likewise display the Substitute report. Audio recordings of readings of the Target's report are changed into a backwards reading of the Substitute report. Memorization is also ineffective due to SCP-9825's effect on Foundation personnel. The substitution effect is assumed to be global, and irrespective of ownership. In one instance, a Foundation asset imbedded in a hostile group of interest was able to confirm that a stolen report of an SCP object affected by SCP-9825 had also been altered. Any attempts to edit or alter the Substitute report in any way is ineffective, as all changes are immediately reverted by SCP-9825. When a new SCP object is targeted, all data of the original Target is restored. It is unknown whether the restored report is identical to the original, or whether SCP-9825 makes any alterations. The nature of SCP-9825 makes it impossible to verify the Target data's integrity after demanifestation. Under SCP-9825's effects, Foundation staff assigned to the Target will lose all knowledge of the Target, and instead gain in-depth, though erroneous, knowledge of the Substitute. In most cases, they will believe themselves to be assigned to the Substitute SCP object, and attempt to gain access to the Substitute in order to perform the duties of the assigned personnel. Typically, they will attempt to do the opposite of what the Substitute's protocols prescribe, and will become alarmed if they see anyone performing the correct protocols. This can either result in a false containment breach alarm being sounded, or in more extreme cases, physical altercations by affected staff and a forceful application of wrong procedures, risking a containment breach themselves. Early detection of SCP-9825 manifestations is therefore key to avoiding security incidents. Personnel under the effects of SCP-9825 are to be amnesticized, and temporarily reassigned to a different site. In the case that affected staff are armed and considered dangerous (//e.g.// in the case that MTF operatives are affected by SCP-9825), and de-escalation efforts fail, neutralization of the threat is permitted. When a new Target is chosen by SCP-9825, all staff assigned to the previous Target regain all knowledge regarding the object, and can be reassigned to their original position. Although all documentation of the Target is lost during SCP-9825's manifestation, the SCP objects themselves remain unaffected. In order to avoid containment breaches, new staff needs to be assigned to these objects immediately upon detection of a new Target. In order to re-enact security protocols, the "Containment Reconstruction Database" was created, in which SCP objects can be algorithmically cross-referenced with reports obtained from Foundations located in alternate dimensions, as these do not seem to be affected by SCP-9825. Although the validity of these reports in our own dimension are not 100% certain, adjustments of the database over the years has ensured an accuracy of 96%.

[[div class="scp-wiki-style"]] * SCP-9129: The Man in the Mirror **Item #:** SCP-9129 **Object Class:** Euclid ++ Special Containment Procedures SCP-9129 is to be contained within a windowless, climate-controlled vault at Site-19. Under no circumstances is SCP-9129's reflective surface to be uncovered outside of authorized testing parameters. At all other times, the object must remain completely enveloped by an opaque, heavy-duty canvas shroud fitted with a remote mechanical pulley system. No personnel are permitted to look directly into SCP-9129 without explicit, written authorization from the Lead Researcher. In the event that an individual views the mirror's surface for a duration exceeding the established safety threshold, security personnel must immediately remove the affected subject from the chamber. The subject is to be placed under strict isolation and monitored for psychological degradation for no less than 48 hours. ++ Description SCP-9129 is a mirror measuring approximately 1.8 meters by 1.5 meters, housed within a dark, ornate wooden frame consistent with late 19th-century Victorian craftsmanship. Physical and chemical analyses of the glass and wooden frame have proved inconclusive, revealing no anomalous material composition or variance from non-anomalous items of the same era. The primary anomalous properties of SCP-9129 manifest whenever a living human subject maintains continuous visual contact with their own reflection for a duration exceeding fifteen (15) seconds. Upon reaching this threshold, the progression of the anomaly follows a consistent and predictable pattern: 1. **Reflection Dissolution:** At exactly 15 seconds, the subject's actual reflection rapidly fades from the glass, leaving the mirror's background visible but devoid of the observer. At this stage, a localized drop in ambient temperature (ranging from 4°C to 7°C) is consistently recorded within a 1-meter radius of the object. 2. **Manifestation of SCP-9129-1:** Within 5 seconds of the reflection's disappearance, a distinct humanoid entity (designated SCP-9129-1) steps into the frame from the lateral edges of the mirror. SCP-9129-1 appears as a male figure dressed in formal Victorian-era attire. Despite the application of high-intensity laboratory illumination directed at the glass, the entity's facial features remain completely obscured by dense, unnatural shadows. 3. **Auditory Interaction:** Once fully manifested, SCP-9129-1 will approach the inner surface of the glass and attempt to engage the observer. While the entity cannot physically breach the mirror, it will mimic the precise vocal frequency and speech patterns of the subject. SCP-9129-1 utilizes this vocal mimicry to vocalize highly classified personal data, suppressed memories, and specific psychological insecurities known exclusively to the subject. 4. **Post-Exposure Degradation:** If exposure continues beyond 60 seconds, or if the subject undergoes repeated testing, the individual develops severe, irreversible paranoia and vivid auditory and visual hallucinations. Affected subjects report a persistent, distressing sensation that SCP-9129-1 is actively observing them from every window, polished metal object, or reflective surface encountered within their environment. ++ Addendum: Test Log 9129-A **Experimental Protocol:** D-Class personnel (D-4432) was secured in a chair directly facing SCP-9129. The canvas shroud was removed via remote mechanism. * **[00:00:00]** Shroud lowered. D-4432 views the mirror and reports a standard, non-anomalous reflection. * **[00:00:10]** Subject notes a sudden, sharp chill in the immediate area. Thermal sensors confirm the localized temperature drop. No visual anomalies present. * **[00:00:15]** **Activation Threshold.** D-4432's reflection completely dissolves. SCP-9129-1 enters the frame from the right side. * **[00:00:22]** D-4432 exhibits extreme distress and attempts to vacate the chair. SCP-9129-1 does not replicate the subject's movements; instead, it approaches the foreground and presses its palms flat against the interior surface of the glass. * **[00:00:40]** D-4432 becomes highly agitated, shouting that the entity is speaking in their exact voice and reciting details regarding a suppressed childhood trauma. D-4432 covers their ears and violently refuses to look at the object. * **[00:01:05]** The canvas shroud is remotely raised, breaking line of sight. Testing concluded. //Closing Note: Upon returning to standard holding quarters, D-4432 exhibited severe paranoia and requested the immediate removal of all polished metal utensils and reflective surfaces from their cell, frantically claiming that "the shadow in the glass won't blink." D-4432 was transferred to psychiatric isolation on 06/04/20██.// ++ Addendum: Circumstances of Retrieval SCP-9129 was recovered on 11/05/19██ from an abandoned estate in ██████, England, following Foundation interception of local police reports. Authorities had discovered the body of the estate’s owner, Lord ██████, inside a locked dressing room. The victim was found facing the uncovered mirror, dead from self-inflicted trauma. A closer forensic examination revealed that the victim had surgically removed his own eyelids. Notes recovered from the scene indicate that Lord ██████ had spent the preceding ██ days attempting to avoid sleep or looking away from the mirror, claiming that the entity "demanded a constant audience." Investigation into the origin of the mirror and its previous owners is ongoing. Evidence at the scene suggests the involvement of GoI-004 ("The Church of the Broken God"), specifically regarding [REDACTED]. ++ Addendum: 12/16/20██ A proposal by Dr. █████ to utilize D-Class subjects with severe visual impairments (specifically complete blindness) to determine if SCP-9129-1 can manifest without direct visual perception is currently under review by the Site Directorate. ++ Memo from O5 Command: 01/09/20██ Cross-testing between SCP-9129 and any cognitive or memetic anomalies is strictly prohibited. We understand the curiosity regarding whether SCP-9129-1 is a sentient entity or a psychological mirror, but the potential for an informational breach via the entity’s vocal mimicry is far too high. Keep it covered, keep the power to the vault running, and do not look into the glass. [[/div]]

**bold text** [[box]] **Item #:** SCP-9531 **Object Class:** Euclid **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9531 is to be secured within a subterranean, reinforced concrete bunker at Site-73. The interior walls of the containment chamber must be lined with a 10cm layer of industrial-grade vulcanized rubber and reinforced by a continuous copper grounding grid. All electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, and monitoring equipment must be kept at a minimum distance of 20 meters from the cell's outer perimeter. Observation of the entity is to be conducted strictly via analog periscopes and thick lead-glass viewing ports to prevent electromagnetic pulse (EMP) damage to facility systems. In the event of a power fluctuation or containment failure, Mobile Task Force Mu-4 ("Beta Testers") is to be deployed immediately. MTF Mu-4 personnel must utilize non-conductive polymer shielding, insulated rubber-lined tactical suits, and pneumatically operated containment gear. [[/box]] **Description:** SCP-9531 is a hostile humanoid entity measuring approximately 1.8 meters in height. The entity lacks any discernible epidermal, muscular, or internal organ tissues. Instead, its physical form consists entirely of a human skeletal structure composed of an unidentified, translucent blue crystalline polymer. SCP-9531 continuously emits an ambient blue bioluminescence and generates a localized electrical field, manifesting as high-frequency arc discharges radiating outward from its bone structure. SCP-9531 exhibits a highly aggressive, predatory psychological profile. The entity is universally hostile toward biological life, specifically targeting the human nervous system. Observational data indicates that SCP-9531 attacks to harvest the latent bio-electricity within human synapses to sustain its own energy levels. When provided a steady electrical current, SCP-9531 remains relatively docile, entering a state resembling hibernation. If deprived of an electrical source, its bioluminescence dims and its hostility escalates. **Addendum 9531.1: Metamorphic Capabilities** When threatened, agitated, or actively breaching, SCP-9531 can compress its physical mass, shifting from its humanoid skeletal form into a highly dense, autonomous sphere of plasma (ball lightning). While in this metamorphic state, SCP-9531 measures approximately 0.5 meters in diameter and can phase through porous materials, short out complex electrical grids, and travel through copper wiring at speeds exceeding 150 km/h. **Addendum 9531.2: Incident Report 14-11-1978** The following is an excerpt detailing the initial containment breach of SCP-9531 at Research Sector 3. > **Date:** November 14, 1978 > **Location:** Site-73, Research Sector 3 > > **Description:** At 14:32 hours, during a scheduled behavioral analysis test, Research Assistant Miller attempted to deliver a daily caloric ration via the primary airlock. SCP-9531 refused to retreat to the designated holding area. > > Ignoring verbal commands, SCP-9531 generated an acute, high-voltage electrical arc through the steel food slot. The discharge immediately incapacitated Security Guards Harris and Vance. > > Surveillance footage reveals that SCP-9531 then approached the cell door. By pressing its fingers directly against the magnetic stripe card reader, the entity discharged a precise, low-voltage current that perfectly mimicked the electronic signature of a Level 2 clearance card. The primary hydraulic door seals released, allowing SCP-9531 to exit into the main corridor. > > **Aftermath:** SCP-9531 entered its plasma state, traveling through the corridor's wiring conduits and initiating a site-wide electromagnetic lockdown. MTF Mu-4 successfully forced SCP-9531 into a secondary grounding vestibule using compressed carbon-dioxide suppressors. The entity was re-contained after exhausting its electrical reserves. Total casualties: 2. **Addendum 9531.3: Experiment Log** **Principal Investigator:** Dr. Arthur Vance **Purpose:** To evaluate SCP-9531’s cognitive response to external stimuli, electrical power sources, and biological entities. **Test 9531-01-A** **Subject:** One (1) standard commercial television receiver, plugged into an isolated 120V wall outlet inside the chamber. **Procedure:** The television was activated remotely to broadcast a standard test pattern. SCP-9531 was introduced into the main chamber. **Result:** SCP-9531 approached the television and placed its skeletal hands on the CRT glass screen. The blue glow of the entity brightened as it drained the voltage from the vacuum tubes. The television imploded due to thermal shock within 45 seconds. SCP-9531 remained stationary near the wreckage for two hours, exhibiting a calm state. **Test 9531-01-B** **Subject:** One (1) adult male Rhesus macaque (*Macaca mulatta*). **Procedure:** The animal was placed in a non-conductive polymer cage in the center of the testing chamber. **Result:** Upon entry, SCP-9531 collapsed its skeletal form into its ball lightning state. It traveled across the floor at high speed, bypassing the non-conductive bars by phasing its plasma form directly into the cage. The entity returned to its humanoid skeletal form inside the cage and discharged a 10,000-volt arc into the subject. The subject expired instantly. Medical logs show the subject's nervous system was entirely burned out, with all natural bio-electricity completely depleted. **Test 9531-01-C** **Subject:** D-4902, equipped with a portable magnetic tape recorder and instructed to attempt verbal communication. **Procedure:** D-4902 entered the cell while SCP-9531 was in a docile state following an electrical feed. **Result:** D-4902 asked the entity, "Can you understand me?" SCP-9531 did not speak, but its ambient crackling grew louder. The magnetic tape inside D-4902's recorder began to melt from inductive heating. Simultaneously, the site intercom system outside the cell malfunctioned, emitting a highly distorted, synthesized voice that repeated the phrase: *"MORE GROUND"* four times before the circuit blew. SCP-9531 then became aggressive, forcing a premature termination of the test. D-4902 was extracted safely.

Prior versions are void. Personnel must confirm receipt of this document before requesting chamber access. Contact the Research Lead if clearance has not been updated in your file. [[/div]] ---- **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8648 is housed in a dedicated bilateral chamber at Site-██, minimum dimensions 12m x 12m. The chamber layout, including all wall panels, light fixtures, cable routing, ventilation, and structural reinforcement, must be physically symmetrical across SCP-8648's central axis at all times. SCP-8648 itself must occupy the geometric center of the floor. Drift from the center is a primary alert condition. Access is through a double-airlock with a hard interlock: the outer door must register a full seal before the inner door will open. There is no override for this. O5 written authorization is required to even request an exception, and no such authorization has been granted to date. Entry teams must consist of an even number of personnel. No one enters alone. Team members must be matched for height within 3cm and must have completed Document 8648-MT synchronization training before their first entry. Personnel with prosthetics, limb absence, or any asymmetry exceeding documented tolerances are not permitted in the chamber. This is not a guideline. Any maintenance required inside the chamber must be carried out during a confirmed full seal, using remote or robotic equipment. If SCP-8648 itself requires reassembly after structural damage, that work must also be performed either remotely or with a team that has completed Document 8648-MT synchronization training containing an even number, and no personnel may be inside the chamber when any bilateral element of SCP-8648 is restored. The reason for this is documented in Incident 8648-B. It does not need to happen again. If an axis expansion event occurs, evacuate in even numbers, splitting symmetrically to both sides of SCP-8648's axis. Do not evacuate as a single group through one exit. Hold position outside until structural clearance is confirmed. ---- **Description:** SCP-8648 is a stone arm. It protrudes vertically from the floor of its containment chamber, terminating just below where a wrist would be. The base sits flush with the floor surface and does not continue underground; ground-penetrating scans have confirmed this repeatedly. The stone resembles limestone in texture and color, though material analysis has not produced consistent or explainable results. The arm does not move under ordinary conditions. The hand is anomalous in structure. It has two thumbs, one on each side of the palm. The middle finger is split lengthwise into two narrow halves. The index and ring fingers are the same length and shape, making the hand read as a mirror of itself from either side. There is no left or right to it. It is the same in both directions. The hand itself reaches upwards. [[include component:image-block |name=Symmetrical Palm.png |caption=Illustration of SCP-8648 at the time of initial containment, Site-██. |align=center |width=350px ]] SCP-8648 does not physically contact anything in its environment to produce its effects. Whatever it uses to perceive and act on its surroundings, we have not identified it. What we have confirmed is that it processes its environment continuously, handles multiple inputs at once without slowing, and does not appear to have any ceiling on what it can track simultaneously. ---- **Anomalous Effect:** SCP-8648 enforces bilateral symmetry within whatever space it can perceive, along the axis defined by its own centerline. When the distribution of objects, people, structures, or conditions within that space is not symmetrical, SCP-8648 alters the situation until it is. It operates in real time and does not pause for living subjects. The consistent principle across all observed cases: **SCP-8648 brings the larger or more present side down to match the lesser.** It does not add, restore, or fill gaps. If one light is off, the other goes off. If one person is shorter, the taller one is made shorter. If there is no mirror element to remove, the unpaired element is destroyed, and then that destruction is mirrored on the other side. This includes SCP-8648's own corrective actions. When it acts on one side of its axis, an equivalent action occurs on the other. It applies its own rule to itself. **Categorical equivalence** determines whether two objects are distributed as a pair or processed separately. Objects must share material composition and broadly similar form to be treated as equivalent. Shape alone is not enough. An iron ball and a gold ball of the same size will each be bisected individually, not distributed as a pair. Two iron balls of slightly different sizes will be distributed as a pair without modification, provided the difference is below approximately 5cm on the marble scale. Beyond that threshold, the larger is reduced to match. How this threshold scales with object size has not been fully tested, and exact specifics on the threshold have yet to be fine-tuned. When SCP-8648 approaches but has not yet crossed a threshold decision, a brief pause is observable before it acts. This appears to be evaluative rather than mechanical. It is deciding something. **A note on SCP-8648's own structural integrity:** SCP-8648 requires its own bilateral symmetry to function. During Test 8648-20, the right thumb was destroyed by a directed explosive. SCP-8648 immediately collapsed into inert rubble. It produced no effects while disassembled. When it was later reassembled and bilateral integrity was restored, it resumed immediately. There was no delay. There was also no warning to the personnel member present in the chamber at that moment. //See Incident 8648-B.// ---- **Axis and Range:** SCP-8648's axis runs through its own centerline. It does not align to the room, to magnetic north, or to any other external reference. It moves with SCP-8648 if SCP-8648 moves. The range of effect is not a fixed distance. SCP-8648 appears to perceive all space that is physically connected and unobstructed from its location. Sealed doors limit this. Open doors do not. During Incident 8648-A, both airlock doors were open simultaneously for several seconds. SCP-8648 began moving toward the geometric center of the expanded space, and the facility structure outside the chamber began to shift accordingly. When the outer door was closed, it stopped. This means SCP-8648 is not difficult to contain because it is powerful. It is difficult to contain because its range is determined by architecture, not by any property we can suppress or block directly. The chamber walls work only as long as they are closed. ---- **Experiment Log 8648** [[collapsible show="+ Expand Experiment Log 8648" hide="- Collapse Experiment Log 8648"]] [[div class="blockquote"]] {{EXPERIMENT LOG -- SCP-8648}} {{Supervising Researcher: Dr. Dnegni}} {{Clearance Level 4 required for access}} [[/div]] > **Test 8648-01** > **Subject:** One Class-D, male > **Outcome:** Fatal > > **Procedure:** Single Class-D subject introduced to the chamber with no other objects present. > > **Result:** Subject was bisected along the vertical midline.

As ash fell unevenly, it was sorted. As embers shifted, they were repositioned. The flame that rose higher on one side was reduced. This continued for the full duration of the burn without any sign of slowing or degrading in precision. When the fire went out and the ash settled, the distribution on both sides of the axis was a geometric mirror image.

It suggests SCP-8648 is not hostile or controlling to people who are, themselves, symmetrical in arrangement. The compliance has to be close to perfect, but it is achievable. //-- Dr. Dnegni// > **Test 8648-17** > **Subject:** Six pairs of iron marbles, each pair with a different size differential > **Outcome:** Threshold identified > > **Procedure:** Pairs introduced sequentially.

SCP-8648 appears to work through a genuine evaluation at the boundary, rather than applying a fixed cutoff.

The bullet aimed toward SCP-8648. > > **Result:** The bullet was bisected in flight. Both halves continued on their original trajectory and struck the opposing walls at symmetrically equivalent points. SCP-8648 did not slow or deflect the bullet. It divided it and let physics handle the rest. Both chamber walls sustained identical impact damage. > **Test 8648-19** > **Subject:** Chamber wall, exterior deformation > **Outcome:** Structural > > **Procedure:** A controlled inward dent was made on one exterior wall surface, visible as an inward protrusion from inside the chamber. > > **Result:** The chamber shook briefly. The wall on the opposite side developed an outward bulge of matching dimensions, as though pushed from inside. SCP-8648 did not replicate the visual appearance of the dent; it replicated the structural event from each wall's own perspective. A wall pushed inward from outside produces a wall pushed inward from outside on the other side, which reads as an outward bulge from the interior. The chamber itself is subject to correction. > **Test 8648-20** > **Subject:** Two remote-detonated explosive charges; SCP-8648 structural resilience > **Outcome:** Containment event; SCP-8648 collapsed > > **Procedure:** Two charges introduced. Both were distributed by SCP-8648, one to each side as expected. The right-side charge was then detonated remotely, directed at SCP-8648's right thumb. > > **Result:** The right thumb was destroyed. SCP-8648 immediately collapsed. The rubble did not move. No anomalous activity was detected during the period of disassembly. The object remained inert until reassembly was attempted. //See Incident 8648-B.// [[/collapsible]] ---- **Incident Reports** [[collapsible show="+ Incident 8648-A -- Uncontrolled Axis Expansion" hide="- Incident 8648-A -- Uncontrolled Axis Expansion"]] [[div class="blockquote"]] **Date:** ████-██-██ **Duration:** Estimated 4 to 7 seconds **Injuries:** None **Cause:** Both airlock doors open simultaneously; procedural error During a routine maintenance rotation, a member of the custodial team opened the inner chamber door before the outer airlock had fully sealed. Both doors were open at the same time for an estimated four to seven seconds. During that window, audible cracking came from the corridor outside the chamber. Wall panels near the airlock shifted. SCP-8648 began moving across the chamber floor, sliding toward a position that would represent the center of the now-larger space it could perceive. The outer door sealed. SCP-8648 stopped and returned to the chamber center. The corridor walls stopped moving. Structural inspection afterward found partial displacement in several wall segments and stress fractures in two load-bearing supports, consistent with lateral force applied simultaneously from both directions. No personnel were injured. Repairs were completed and verified for symmetry before the next observation cycle. SCP-8648 was reclassified from __Euclid to Keter__ following this incident. The prior classification assumed the object's range was an intrinsic property that could be addressed through material containment. That assumption was wrong. The range is spatial, not physical. A sealed door limits it. An open door does not.

SCP-8648 had been confirmed inert throughout the disassembly period. The technician entered alone. At the moment the thumb was seated, and bilateral integrity was restored, SCP-8648 resumed function. The technician was the only object in the chamber at that moment. He was bisected along the axis. Death was instantaneous. SCP-8648's left thumb developed hairline cracks after reactivation, mirroring the slight imperfections left by the reattachment of the right. The object corrected itself. The protocol has been updated. Reassembly of any bilateral element of SCP-8648 must be performed remotely or with a team that has completed Document 8648-MT synchronization training containing an even number.

I want to put a few observations on the record that do not fit neatly into the test logs. The thing that took me longest to get right, conceptually, was the direction of correction. My instinct kept framing SCP-8648 as something that //wants// order. That framing is wrong, and it leads, and has led, to bad predictions. SCP-8648 does not want to order. It does not want anything at all. It brings higher states down to meet lower states, not because it prefers equilibrium, but because that is the only operation it has. It cannot add. It can only remove, reduce, and match downward. The result looks like an order from the outside. From the inside, it is just loss, applied evenly. The synchronization results from Tests 8648-15 and 8648-16 stuck with me more than any of the more...lethal outcomes. The discovery that two people moving together, deliberately, could pass through the chamber without serious harm was not something I expected. It raises a question I have not been able to stop thinking about: does SCP-8648 perceive symmetry as a //state// or as a //relationship//? If the former, two synchronized people are a problem solved. If the latter, they are a problem that does not exist yet. I do not know which it is. The tests do not resolve it cleanly. The hand itself. I keep coming back to it. The hand is reaching upwards, yet isn't reaching for anything in particular. Most hands are oriented toward something. This one is not. I have no idea what that means. I am not sure it means anything. But I notice it. What are you reaching towards?

** Scp 9921-The Archive of Non-existence** Object Class: Keter / Ticonderoga Disrupt Class: Amide (5) Risk Class: Critical (5) Access Level: 5-6 (Cosmic Top-Secret / Council Only O5) SCP-9921 (“The Archive of Non-Existence”) is the designation assigned to a physical document consisting of a single sheet of standard office bond paper (dimensions: 21.59 cm x 27.94 cm, letter size). The text printed on its surface appears to have been applied via an unknown thermal transfer method, and the paper maintains a constant, uniform temperature of 38.5 °C, emulating the tactile sensation of a freshly printed document. Special Containment Procedures SCP-9921-1 and SCP-9921-2 are permanently contained at Site-X87, a maximum-security underground complex built exclusively around the anomaly. The exact location of Site-X87 has been expunged from all global Foundation records. • The introduction of audio recording devices, video recording devices, digital storage media, or electronic sensors into SCP-9921-2 is prohibited. Any attempt to do so will result in the immediate and automated translocation of the object out of the room. • No personnel, with the exception of the O5 Council, are permitted to physically access SCP-9921 or read its contents. Investigations authorized by the Council shall be conducted exclusively through the deployment of Class-D personnel under strict, non-electronic external observation. SCP-9921 possesses properties of absolute indestructibility: It is immune to incineration. It is immune to moisture. It is immune to mechanical stress. It is immune to cuts or tears. Furthermore, it exhibits a property of total rejection toward external pigments: Ink does not adhere to its surface. Graphite slides off without leaving a mark. Digital text cannot replicate its content. Any attempt to photograph it yields only an image of uniform noise, devoid of interpretable data. SCP-9921-1 is a matte black office folder (24 cm x 32 cm) designed to contain SCP-9921. Both objects are quantum-linked: — If SCP-9921 remains out of human contact for more than 1 second, it immediately translocates to the interior of SCP-9921-1, regardless of distance or physical barriers. SCP-9921-2 (“Room XXXX”) SCP-9921-2 is a cubic underground chamber, 5 meters per side, discovered during deep mining excavations. Materials: The walls, ceiling, and floor are composed of an anomalous, indestructible metal alloy, visually similar to stabilized solid mercury. Central Shelf At the center of the chamber stands a shelf integrated into the structure. This system responds to human presence: 1. The shelf automatically adjusts its height to the waist level of the first subject to enter. 2. If multiple subjects enter, it prioritizes the first one to cross the threshold. 3. If the prioritized subject leaves the room, the shelf readjusts to the nearest individual. Interaction Rules — Inanimate or electronic objects are expelled upon exiting the chamber. — Unconscious subjects are automatically expelled upon regaining consciousness. Psychological Effects The content of SCP-9921 is restricted under Level 6. Records indicate that the document describes: The SCP Foundation All contained anomalies And the entirety of the known universe as a work of fiction created by external entities. Cognitive Consequence Direct exposure induces severe existential nihilism. In all documented cases, it results in total psychological collapse. The O5 Council utilizes Class-D personnel for controlled, partial readings. Director Brown Keller's Log (Recovered recording following Incident 9921-Alpha) “It's not real… This nightmare isn't real. You can't imagine the joy I felt when I found it… SCP-9921. I thought it was the greatest discovery of my life. It showed me that SCPs don't exist… but also that I don't exist either. It's all fiction. It's all a story written from the outside. I tried to reject it… but O5-4 confirmed it. He let me into Room XXXX. I don't know why… maybe everyone already knew. If this is real… then someone is writing my pain right now.”

**Scp 9921-The Archive of Non-existence** **Object Class: Euclid** SCP-9921 is designated "The Archive of Non-Existence" a simple sheet of paper that appears to bear printed text, though it was not physically written using ink or any similar medium. The SCP is stored within another SCP designated SCP-9921-1: a type of black folder. Curiously, if SCP-9921 is not being physically held by anyone, it is automatically teleported inside SCP-9921-1. SCP-9921-1 is housed within a chamber constructed from a metallic material resembling mercury; this chamber is designated "Room XXXX" and is itself classified as an SCP, SCP-9921-2. Any object entering this chamber that was not brought in by the individual entering is immediately teleported back outside. Furthermore, it is impossible to take photographs or record video inside Room XXXX, as any such attempt results only in images that appear entirely gray or blurred. Curiously, it is impossible to physically damage SCP-9921 or SCP-9921-1 not with fire, water, or any other type of material. According to high-level research, it is impossible to write an exact transcript of what SCP-9921 says; only descriptions of its speech are known. It is known that SCP-9921 states something very simple: --that SCPs are not real--, but rather --works of fiction written by beings from another’s plane of existence--. The O5 Council are the only ones actually permitted to view SCP-9921, as for reasons unknown, they remain unaffected by its properties. Experiments involving Class-D personnel, as well as anyone else who has read the document, have invariably resulted in the subject entering a state of existential crisis; ultimately, they commit suicide, as SCP-9921 also contains information revealing that their own universe --is not real--. (Recovered recording following Incident 9921-Alpha) “It's not real… This nightmare isn't real. You can't imagine the joy I felt when I found it… SCP-9921. I thought it was the greatest discovery of my life. It showed me that SCPs don't exist… but also that I don't exist either. It's all fiction. It's all a story written from the outside. I tried to reject it… but O5-4 confirmed it. He let me into Room XXXX. I don't know why… maybe everyone already knew. If this is real… then someone is writing my pain right now.”

**SCP 9953- Re’em** His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of a Re’em. Will the Re’em be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? The Re’em is what people would call a unicorn—a rather interesting being. SCP-9953 takes the form of a tall, white horse that never appears stained or dirty, and possesses a horn on its forehead; however, due to the scarcity of SCP-9953 sightings, the actual size of this horn remains unknown. It is known that the Re’em reveals itself to only one person at a time—typically someone in a low emotional state or suffering from a serious illness. Furthermore, that individual must be a kind and benevolent person, as the creature has never appeared to anyone who could be considered a "bad person" or who has committed malicious acts. This aligns perfectly with the theory that unicorns appear only to those with a good heart. An important detail is that whenever the unicorn appears to these individuals, it invariably approaches slowly and allows the person to make contact with its horn. These individuals typically cease to feel unwell in any respect—whether emotionally or physically—and are often cured of their ailments. While it is capable of curing conditions such as cerebral disorders or cancer, it has also been observed to reduce the severity of diseases—or at least diminish them sufficiently to render them no longer fatal. SCP-9953 possesses the ability to vanish; once its task is complete, the instant the individual blinks and reopens their eyes, the Re’em will have already disappeared. The Foundation has made numerous attempts to capture SCP-9953, but all have met with significant failure. This is because the entity appears only to individuals possessing the aforementioned characteristics—making it exceedingly difficult to locate such a person—and because SCP-9953 manifests only when the individual is in a state of profound solitude. Furthermore, there is an additional requirement: the individual must be situated in close proximity to nature. Approaching SCP-9953 while it is interacting with another person agitates it significantly—to the point where it is capable of attacking both individuals and inflicting severe injuries with its horn. Its primary method of attack involves attempting to wound people by impaling them with its horn. There is a documented instance in which SCP-9953 killed a human being: in 1989, the Foundation identified a woman named Sarah Khoury—a Lebanese-born woman who had lost both her husband and son in an accident. This tragedy plunged her into a deep depression; consequently, the Foundation decided to track her movements in an attempt to orchestrate an encounter between her and SCP-9953. One day, Sarah went for a walk that eventually led her to Mount Hermon. At that moment, Sarah was being monitored by an SCP Foundation surveillance team consisting of five scientists. These scientists were unaware of the extent to which SCP-9953 could turn violent, as all prior research had indicated that it was a remarkably peaceful creature. True to form, SCP-9953 appeared and approached Sarah, who remained quite calm in the creature's presence. The scientists then began to approach as well; however, before they could even get close enough for Sarah to notice them, the creature suddenly erupted into a violent frenzy. It attacked Sarah with sufficient brutality to kill her, impaling her through the skull with its horn. Immediately thereafter, it charged at the scientists with ferocious speed, killing them all in the ensuing attack. The entire incident was captured on video by a Foundation drone. Since that time, subsequent capture attempts have resulted in injuries, though no further fatalities. During one such attempt, a sedative was administered to the creature; however, the sedative merely caused it to become twice as violent. Yet, rather than attacking the personnel present—it appeared to writhe in agony before ultimately vanishing without inflicting any injuries. The Foundation attempted to facilitate contact between SCP-9953 and Class-D personnel; however, it never manifested before any of them, as it does not appear to individuals who have committed crimes. The countries where SCP-9953 (the Re’em) has been sighted are as follows: * Lebanon * Syria * Israel * Egypt Sightings in Egypt differ from those elsewhere; in Egypt, the entity typically does not manifest before humans. Instead, it is most often observed walking normally in uninhabited areas. The Foundation has hypothesized that this may constitute its natural habitat, although they remain uncertain of this and have not yet been able to confirm it. Numerous attempts have been made to capture the entity on video or in photographs; however, all such images invariably turn out blurred. Consequently, it is most frequently captured via drone footage. An interesting anomaly is that individuals who have come into contact with the entity typically retain no memory of the encounter. However, there have been a few rare instances where individuals *did* recall the interaction; those who remembered reported that the closer the entity approached them, the greater the sense of calm they experienced. Curiously, the Re’em has been referenced in ancient texts, such as the Bible. The SCP Foundation seeks to prevent the public from learning virtually anything about SCP-9953—an entity they have thus far failed to capture, despite the possibility of doing so appearing to exist. Consequently, they initiated a massive protocol wherein Foundation scientists—posing as ordinary researchers and scholars—assert that references to the Re’em found in ancient texts actually pertain to rhinoceroses.

Item #: SCP-3578 Object Class: Keter --- Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3578 is to be contained in a hermetically sealed, reinforced chamber measuring 15 m x 15 m at Site-██. Entry into SCP-3578's chamber is strictly forbidden without direct approval from at least two (2) Level 4 personnel. A circular exclusion perimeter of 10 meters in radius is marked around SCP-3578 inside the chamber. Under no circumstances are personnel allowed to cross into this radius. Observation and study must be conducted through remote surveillance systems and drones. Any human subject who enters the active radius is to be classified as SCP-3578-1. Instances of SCP-3578-1 are to be sedated immediately (if possible) and terminated within 24 hours. Attempts at rehabilitation, deprogramming, or amnestic treatment have failed. --- Description: SCP-3578 is a life-sized statue of a giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) in a seated position. Despite its initial resemblance to synthetic resin, tissue sampling via remote extraction has revealed that SCP-3578 is composed entirely of organic panda tissue, including muscle, skin, and fur. The biological material shows no signs of decomposition, microbial activity, or natural decay despite a complete absence of blood flow or metabolism. Anomalous Effect: Any human subject entering within 10 meters of SCP-3578 is instantly affected. The subject becomes SCP-3578-1 and develops an intense, obsessive, and irrational hatred for all pandas, both living and depicted. Affected individuals begin shouting slogans and rants against pandas within seconds, including phrases such as: “Pandas are parasites!” “They’re evolution’s mistake!” “We waste resources on a species that deserves extinction!” SCP-3578-1 instances no longer require food, water, or sleep. They exhibit no signs of fatigue or physiological degradation, maintaining constant aggression and cognitive clarity despite extended activity. Their sole motivation becomes the total extinction of the panda species. This mental state is considered permanent. Subjects demonstrate extreme resistance to sedation, and all attempts at psychological reversal have failed. Brain imaging shows significant restructuring in the prefrontal cortex, consistent with induced monomania and pathological rage. --- Addendum 3578-A – Discovery: SCP-3578 was discovered on ██/██/20██ by a team of archaeologists from ███████ University during an excavation in the ███████ river basin, Sichuan Province, China. The site contained the ruins of a wooden temple estimated to be over 1200 years old. Local folklore referred to the area as the “Valley of White Bears,” once densely populated by giant pandas. Despite historical evidence, no panda remains were found in the region. SCP-3578 was located partially buried at the center of the temple ruins. All seven archaeologists exposed to the statue became SCP-3578-1 and were neutralized after multiple violent incidents. A sign recovered near SCP-3578, written in Classical Chinese, loosely translates to: > “Look into their eyes. Know the truth.” --- Experiment Log 3578-A1 Test A1.1 Subject: D-9231 (former veterinarian, 34 y/o, convicted of violent crimes) Procedure: Subject instructed to approach SCP-3578 to within 9 meters. Result: After 6 seconds, D-9231 began trembling, then screaming anti-panda slogans. Subject attempted to break containment window while shouting: “They’re lying to us! The pandas must burn!” Subject displayed inhuman strength and no signs of fatigue for 37 minutes before being terminated. --- Interview Log 3578-B1 Subject: D-3440 (designated SCP-3578-1-7 after exposure) Interviewer: Dr. H. Jian Method: Remote interview 12 hours after exposure. [BEGIN LOG] Dr. Jian: How are you feeling, D-3440? SCP-3578-1-7: Enlightened. Free. I see clearly now. Dr. Jian: What do you see? SCP-3578-1-7: Pandas. Filthy frauds. Eating our resources. Pretending to be endangered so we protect them. They’re wrong, biologically, morally, evolutionarily. Dr. Jian: Have you always felt this way? SCP-3578-1-7: No. But now I understand. I won’t stop until the last one is gone. If you won’t help me, I’ll find someone who will. [END LOG] Note: Subject terminated 1 hour later. No signs of fatigue or hunger were observed. --- Cross-Test Proposal 3578-X1: SCP-999 Exposure: Proposal to expose SCP-3578-1 to SCP-999 (a being known to induce intense joy and reduce aggression) was rejected by the Ethics Committee. Based on current data, the psychological state of SCP-3578-1 is not simply rage or depression, but an anomalous ideological transformation, potentially contagious or memetic in nature. --- O5 Commentary: > “SCP-3578 isn't just a statue. It's a weapon. Someone created this thing to erase a species — and perhaps they already succeeded once. Our job is to make sure it never finishes the job

SCP-XXXX, a 10-year-old humanoid that can answer any question with perfect accuracy, even about unknowable or future events. However, it has no understanding of the answers it gives, functioning like a literal “Chinese Room” oracle that outputs truth without comprehension. **Seeking Greenlights:**Yes **Page Type:** SCP Article **Genre:** Horror / Philosophical / Sci-Fi **Page Layout:** Standard SCP format: Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Euclid (possibly Keter depending on consensus) Special Containment Procedures Description Addenda: Test Logs Interview Logs Incident Report (XXXX-A) Optional footnotes for philosophical references (e.g., Chinese Room, causality discussion, GoI notes) **Elevator Pitch:** SCP-XXXX is a 10-year-old humanoid capable of answering any question with perfect accuracy, regardless of whether the information is knowable or exists within any accessible framework. However, it does not understand the information it produces, functioning as a literal “Chinese Room” oracle whose outputs can generate cognitohazards and reality-disrupting informational artifacts. **Central Narrative:** The article explores the contradiction between absolute epistemic power and complete cognitive emptiness. SCP-XXXX serves as a narrative device to examine free will, causality, and the danger of unrestricted access to “ultimate” knowledge. Rather than being physically threatening, the entity’s danger emerges through information itself, particularly when interrogations escalate beyond controlled bounds and begin producing cascading conceptual instability (as seen in Incident XXXX-A). **Hook / Attention Grabber:** *A child who can answer anything perfectly, but understands nothing it says. *Cosmic-scale knowledge delivered with mundane, childlike behavior (“You want a cookie?”). *The unsettling implication that answers exist independently of understanding. *A single interview log gradually shifting from philosophical curiosity into ontological instability. *Incident XXXX-A showing that “knowledge” itself can behave like a contagious anomaly. Additional Notes: *The caudal appendage and shifting irises are visually striking but currently feel loosely connected to the core anomaly; consider tying them more directly to cognition, perception filtering, or information processing. *Object Class may warrant discussion—Euclid works if SCP-XXXX is cooperative, but its informational effects may justify Keter depending on interpretation. *The New God Project origin is strong but underdeveloped; expanding motivations, methodology, and fallout would significantly enhance worldbuilding. *Strongest element is the implication that SCP-XXXX does not interpret truth—it simply outputs it, regardless of consequences. *Incident XXXX-A is the narrative turning point and should remain the focal escalation of the article.

**Item #:** SCP-XXXX **Object Class:** Euclid **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-██. Access is restricted to personnel of Level 4 clearance or higher, or individuals explicitly authorized by Level 4 staff. SCP-XXXX’s chamber must contain an abundance of writable surfaces, including whiteboards, paper sheets, and writing implements. These materials are to be inspected and replaced daily by assigned personnel to ensure readability and prevent accumulation of potentially hazardous information. Due to SCP-XXXX’s cognitohazardous output potential, all interrogations must be conducted under strict supervision. Any written material produced by SCP-XXXX that is deemed cognitohazardous is to be immediately secured and either sanitized or destroyed. D-Class personnel equipped with “S.C.R.A.M.B.L.E.”[[footnote]] S.C.R.A.M.B.L.E. goggles are heavily flawed and generally fail to block most visual Cognitohazards [[/footnote]] visual filtration systems are authorized for cleanup procedures when necessary. Following exposure, involved personnel are to be administered Class-B amnestics. **Description:** SCP-XXXX is a human male approximately 10 years of age. The subject possesses an abnormal caudal appendage measuring approximately 2.1 meters in length, composed of roughly one hundred articulated bony segments with a pinkish hue. SCP-XXXX also exhibits heterochromia; however, the subject’s irises continuously shift color in an apparently non-repeating pattern. However, SCP-XXXX does not demonstrate comprehension of the information it produces. Linguistic and neurological testing suggests its responses are generated without understanding, consistent with a theoretical “Chinese Room” model of cognition. SCP-XXXX is also incapable of independently initiating queries or utilizing its ability without external prompting. **Addendum XXXX-1:** **Origin** SCP-XXXX was originally created as part of the New God Project a Group trying to replace the old gods with their own artificial gods. Recovered records suggest SCP-XXXX was created through the surgical integration of biological remnants believed to originate from a deceased anomalous entity, including the caudal appendage and ocular structures now present in SCP-XXXX. This procedure appears to have granted the subject its current omniscient response capability, though only when externally interrogated, rendering the project a partial failure. Following initial activation, the Group of Interest repurposed SCP-XXXX as an intelligence asset. SCP-XXXX was subsequently used to obtain predictive data regarding containment breaches, anomalous artifacts, and strategic advantages against rival organizations. The extent of this exploitation remains under investigation. **Addendum XXXX-2:** **Test Log-12** SCP-XXXX was asked "What happens when a person who does not believe in free will chooses to make a choice?" SCP-XXXX answered by saying "they are simply experiencing a predetermined neurological and environmental process." SCP-XXXX was then asked "Do you understand what you just said." SCP-XXXX answered by saying "They can't make choices" Test End **Addendum XXXX-3**

**Group #:** GOI-XXXX, The New God Project **Membership:** Approximately 240 active members (formerly estimated at 7,000) **Resources:** Limited. Remaining assets are believed to include access to anomalous resources, though most known holdings were destroyed during the organization's collapse.[[footnote]] Most organizational assets, including the anomalous Item believed to have enabled the Project's early successes, were destroyed during the collapse. [[/footnote]] **Status:** Recovering **Description:** The New God Project is a clandestine organization formerly funded by wealthy and influential individuals across multiple nations. Available records indicate that the group's primary objective was the creation of artificial deities intended to supplant existing religious or metaphysical entities. To achieve this goal, the organization abducted or acquired orphaned children between the ages of four and twelve and subjected them to a combination of ritual procedures, surgical modifications, and anomalous experimentation. The exact theological, ideological, or practical purpose behind these efforts remains unknown. The Foundation became aware of the organization following multiple encounters between Project personnel and Foundation assets. Investigation revealed the existence of numerous experimental subjects, many exhibiting anomalous properties. The Project suffered a catastrophic internal failure when an experiment experienced an uncontrolled manifestation event, resulting in extensive casualties among personnel and the destruction of a significant portion of the organization's infrastructure. During the incident, numerous experimental subjects escaped containment. Since the collapse, surviving members have dedicated their efforts to locating and recovering the escaped subjects in an attempt to restore the Project and continue its operations.

CONTAIN. PROTECT. ====================================================================== FOUNDATION SECURE DATA ARCHIVE | ITEM FILE: SCP-XXXX ====================================================================== **Item #:** SCP-XXXX **Object Class:** Keter **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-XXXX is currently uncontained due to its highly nomadic, subterranean nature. Mobile Task Force Pi-1 ("City Slickers") is tasked with continuous monitoring of emergency dispatches, municipal utility repairs, and foreclosed real estate registries across the Midwestern United States. Any residential property confirmed to be hosting an SCP-XXXX manifestation must be immediately condemned by a Foundation front company under the public guise of a severe, toxic black mold outbreak or a structural gas leak. The entryway to the basement door must be permanently sealed using welded industrial steel plates. All civilian witnesses are to be administered Class-A amnestics and relocated. Under no circumstances are Foundation personnel permitted to enter an active manifestation zone without a tethered, high-tensile steel winching cable attached directly to their tactical harness. If a team member crosses the threshold of the basement door and a countdown triggers, no rescue operations are to be attempted from the outside until the 10-minute window has completely expired. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- **Description:** SCP-XXXX is a hostile, predatory spatial anomaly that targets residential basements, cellars, and sub-floor crawlspaces. The anomaly does not possess a fixed physical shape, but instead manifests as a localized structural alteration inside homes experiencing severe internal stress, domestic isolation, or profound emotional grief. When active, the architecture of the staircase leading down into an affected basement will artificially extend. Instead of reaching the normal basement floor, the stairs descend into a seemingly endless, unlit concrete utility labyrinth that smells heavily of damp rust, calcified lime, and wet laundry detergent. Ground-penetrating radar shows that this space does not exist within our physical dimension, bypassing the earth entirely and operating inside an isolated extra-dimensional pocket plane. SCP-XXXX utilizes a distinct predatory cycle divided into three specific phases: * **The Broadcast:** A low, buzzing radio frequency begins to bleed out of any television, smart speaker, or analog radio set located near the basement door. This static is heavily layered with what sounds like a young child frantically crying, gasping for air, or whispering incoherent sentences through the feedback loop. * **The Calling:** The anomaly mimics the exact voice of a family member or a lost loved one, calling out from the bottom of the dark stairs. It typically claims it tripped, dropped its flashlight, or hurt its leg in the dark, pleading for someone to come down and help them fix the furnace or water heater. * **The 10-Minute Lock:** If a person steps onto the staircase to investigate, the basement door will automatically slam shut and lock from the outside. The structural walls of the house will temporarily become completely indestructible, preventing any rescue from the outside. The victim has exactly 10 minutes to navigate the dark concrete labyrinth before the anomaly de-manifests, taking the victim with it. When the 10-minute countdown concludes, the basement instantly snaps back to its normal, everyday size. The victim is entirely gone, but their shoes, teeth fillings, and any metal jewelry they were wearing will be found stacked neatly in a perfect pile on the center of the regular concrete basement floor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ [[size 110%]]**📁 CASE RECORDINGS: EMERGENCY DISPATCH**[[/size]] ------ **Addendum XXXX.1: 911 Emergency Dispatch Audio Log** The following log was intercepted by Foundation field agents on November 14, 2025, in Richmond, Kentucky. The call was placed from a residential smartphone belonging to a civilian named Sarah Miller. [[collapsible show="[+] UNSEAL POLICE RECORDING LOG" hide="[-] SECURE FILE"]] **[BEGIN LOG]** **Dispatch:** 911 Emergency, what is your crisis? **Sarah:** (Voice is shaking, breathing heavily) Yes—hello, please, you need to send a squad car to 412 Maple Street right now. Something is wrong with my house. **Dispatch:** Okay, Sarah, calm down for me. Tell me exactly what is happening. Is someone trying to break in? **Sarah:** No, no! It's my brother... it's Leo. He went down to the basement ten minutes ago to fix the water heater because the TV started acting up and buzzing. But... but he hasn't come back up, and the door just slammed shut on its own! **Dispatch:** Have you tried turning the handle? Is the lock stuck? **Sarah:** I tried! I used a hammer from the kitchen, but it won't move at all. It feels like the door is solid iron right now. And Dispatch... I can hear him. But it doesn't sound right. He's screaming from the bottom of the stairs, but his voice sounds... like it's coming out of a broken, skipping walkie-talkie. It's skipping and echoing. **Dispatch:** I'm dispatching an officer to your location now, Sarah. Stay on the line. **Sarah:** Oh my god, wait. The TV in the living room... the static just stopped. It's playing an old video file. It's an audio recording of Leo's voice from when he was six years old at his birthday party. It’s just repeating his old childhood birthday song over and over again through the screen static. **Dispatch:** Sarah, I need you to step away from the basement door and wait on the porch. **Sarah:** (Sound of wood splintering, a deep groaning noise shakes the microphone) The walls are shifting. The drywall in the hallway is cracking open. There's water... no, it's rust water leaking out from behind the wallpaper. It smells so bad. It smells like a flooded basement. Wait, the door just unlocked itself. Leo? Leo, is that you? **Dispatch:** Sarah, do not open that door! **Sarah:** (Sound of a door creaking open. A long pause. The audio logs pick up a deafening, industrial hum of ceiling fluorescent lights.) Leo? Why are the stairs so long? There are hundreds of steps... Leo, why are you sitting down there in the dark? **SCP-XXXX (Distant, voice layered and clicking):** *I... I hurt my leg, Sarah. Come down. Help me fix the heater. We are a family.* **Sarah:** That's not Leo. Oh my god, that's not his face. (Screaming) The door just shut behind me! It locked! Help me! It's dark! It's so dark! **Dispatch:** Sarah? Sarah! **(A high-decibel radio screech knocks out the dispatch recording system. The line cuts to a busy signal.)** **[END LOG]** [[/collapsible]] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ [[size 110%]]**📁 MILITARY LOG ACCESS: COMBAT EXPLORATION**[[/size]] ------ **Addendum XXXX.2: MTF Exploration Log (Operation: Black Utility)** On November 15, 2025, Mobile Task Force Psi-7 ("Home Improvement") entered the Miller residence less than 12 hours after the disappearance. Using an experimental spatial stabilizer, the team managed to wedge the basement door open, forcing the staircase to remain in its extended, anomalous state for exploration. **Team Lead:** Strike Commander Vance **Team Members:** Agent Marcus, Agent Cooper, Tech-Specialist Lin [[collapsible show="[+] UNSEAL MILITARY RADIO FEED" hide="[-] SECURE FILE"]] **[BEGIN LOG]** **Vance:** Command, this is Vance. We are at the threshold of the basement door. Visually, the wooden stairs go down about twelve steps, and then they transition directly into poured concrete. It looks like an industrial maintenance tunnel. Moving in. **Site-43 Command:** Copy, Psi-7. Keep your tethers tight. Monitor your internal clock. You have a maximum of nine minutes before we pull you out. **Agent Marcus:** The smell hit me immediately. It's like wet drywall and old copper plumbing. The air is warm and incredibly humid. **Tech-Lin:** Reading a massive spike in electromagnetic radiation. My equipment is catching a radio frequency bouncing off the concrete walls. It's an old 1950s household commercial loop. It's playing on a loop down here. **Vance:** Descending the steps. We’ve reached the bottom. Command, the layout opens up into a massive corridor. The walls are solid gray concrete, but they are lined with completely random household items. I'm looking at a row of water heaters, rusted washers, and hundreds of wet, moldy clothes hanging from overhead pipes. **Agent Cooper:** Commander, I've got footprints in the mud on the floor. Two distinct sets. One matches a male sneaker, the other a female boot. It’s the Miller kids. They were running. **Vance:** Advancing down the main corridor. Marcus, keep your rifle at high-ready. Use code with caution.(The team moves deeper into the concrete maze for three minutes. The hum of industrial fluorescent lights grows increasingly loud.)Agent Marcus: Hold up. Look at that alcove on the right.Vance: Command, we’ve found a pile of old cathode-ray tube television sets stacked like a pyramid. They are all powered on, but none of them are plugged into anything. Every single screen is displaying pure white noise static.Tech-Lin: The radio signal is shifting. It’s getting clearer. Listen.Speaker Feed (Layered, metallic text-to-speech voice): Why didn't you come down when we called? We were lonely in the dark. The house is empty without you.Agent Cooper: (Shouting) Move! The wall is closing in!(A loud cracking noise echoes. The concrete walls on either side of the hallway violently slide inward, reducing the corridor width from four meters to less than eighty centimeters. The team is forced into single file.)Vance: Command, spatial distortion is accelerating! We are pushing forward toward the footprint trail.Agent Marcus: Commander, I see her! At the end of the tunnel! It’s Sarah Miller!(MTF cameras capture a civilian figure sitting on a concrete ledge 30 meters ahead. Her back is turned to the team. She appears to be rhythmically brushing her hair with a rusted tool.)Vance: Sarah! This is the Foundation, we are here to extract you! Stand up slowly and walk toward my voice!(The civilian figure stops moving. Her neck rotates 180 degrees backward with a loud, wet cracking sound. The face is entirely smooth skin, completely lacking any eyes, nose, or mouth structure, except for a wide, hollow tear across the jaw that is vibrating rapidly.)SCP-XXXX (Using Sarah’s voice, layered over static): I can't leave, Commander. I have to stay and help Leo fix the water heater. We live here now. You should stay too.Vance: Target is hostile! Deploy the spatial anchor! Fall back! Fall back now!Agent Cooper: My tether! The winching cable just snapped! Something behind the concrete drywall just bit through the steel!Vance: Grab him! Marcus, grab Cooper's harness!(A massive energy pulse hits the corridor. The television pyramid detonates, spraying glass shards across the tunnel. The fluorescent lights explode one by one, plunging the labyrinth into absolute darkness. The audio feed registers frantic gunfire, heavy concrete panels slamming shut, and a deep, mechanical sobbing noise that echoes from every direction.)Vance: Dive for the stairs! Move, move, move!(The remaining team members scramble up the concrete incline. The camera cuts to static for three seconds as they crash back through the residential basement door into the kitchen.)[END LOG]Post-Mission Update: Strike Commander Vance, Agent Marcus, and Tech-Specialist Lin successfully escaped the anomaly. Agent Cooper was completely severed from his tether during the darkness and could not be retrieved before the 10-minute lock concluded.When the Miller residence snapped back to its normal architecture, Agent Cooper's tactical combat boots, his bulletproof vest plate, and his wedding ring were found stacked in a neat, perfect pile next to the house's furnace.The property has been bought by a Foundation front company, encased in a concrete containment shell, and classified as an active Level 4 Keter site. Research into reclaiming Agent Cooper's remains from the subterranean plane is ongoing.[[/collapsible]][[size 110%]]📁 INTERROGATION RECORDS: SITE-43 INTELLIGENCE[[/size]]Addendum XXXX.3: Interview Log TranscriptOn March 14, 2026, four months after the Miller house incident, local authorities in a neighboring state detained a transient juvenile matching the description of Leo Miller. The subject was found wandering near an abandoned municipal drainage hub, exhibiting severe vocal abnormalities. He was immediately transferred to Site-43 custody for interrogation.Interviewer: Dr. Alan ThorneInterviewed: Subject XXXX-Leo[[collapsible show="[+] ACCESS INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT LOG" hide="[-] SECURE FILE"]][BEGIN LOG]Dr. Thorne: State your name for the record, please.Subject XXXX-Leo: (A long pause. The audio feed catches a faint, high-pitched ringing noise coming from the subject's throat.) My... my name is Leo. I used to live on Maple Street.Dr. Thorne: Leo, we have been looking for you for a very long time. Can you explain to me what happened on the night of November 14? Your sister, Sarah, called the police. She said you went down into the basement and never came back.Subject XXXX-Leo: The water heater... it was making a clicking sound. Like teeth. I went down to look at the copper valves. But when I reached the bottom step, the floor wasn't concrete anymore. It was wet carpet. Endless rooms. The walls were yellow, Dr. Thorne. Not gray like our basement. It looked like an office building that somebody abandoned twenty years ago.Dr. Thorne: You are describing a liminal space. Did you attempt to climb back up the stairs?Subject XXXX-Leo: I tried! I turned around, but the wooden steps were gone. There was just a smooth concrete wall. And then... the house started talking to me. It didn't use a voice. It used the old television speaker we threw away last summer. It told me that if I didn't find someone to take my place within ten minutes, I would become part of the utility lines.Dr. Thorne: Is that why your sister heard your voice calling out to her?Subject XXXX-Leo: (Subject begins to tremble, his voice dropping into a multi-layered, distorted tone that causes the room's microphones to clip.) I didn't want to do it! I swear I didn't! But it forces you. It mimics the people you love. It took my voice and yelled up the stairs to Sarah. It told her I hurt my leg. It wanted her to open the door. When she stepped onto the concrete, the door slammed.Dr. Thorne: What happened to Sarah once she was inside the labyrinth?Subject XXXX-Leo: We ran. We ran through the yellow rooms for hours, but the ceiling lights were so loud. They hummed like a high-voltage fence. The walls started moving, shifting, turning into concrete slabs. Sarah tripped over some old laundry pipes. I tried to pull her up, but the ten minutes were over.Dr. Thorne: Describe what happened when the timer ended, Leo. This is critical.Subject XXXX-Leo: The darkness came out of the walls. Not regular darkness... it was like black static. It didn't touch her skin. It just... unzipped her. Her clothes fell to the floor in a perfect pile. Her shoes, her earrings, everything. But she was gone. And then, the wall cracked open, and a new staircase appeared. I climbed up it, and I came out of a storm drain miles away. But I'm not whole, doc.Dr. Thorne: What do you mean by "not whole"?Subject XXXX-Leo: (Subject stands up and pulls back his jaw. Surveillance cameras capture his throat vibrating rapidly. The skin around his neck appears completely seamless and synthetic, lacking any muscle definition.) Every time I close my eyes, I can hear the TV static. It’s still broadcasting through me. It wants more names. It wants me to find another house.[END LOG]Post-Interview Analysis: Subject XXXX-Leo has been placed under permanent medical isolation inside a reinforced containment cell at Site-43. Due to the high probability that his vocal cords are acting as an active transmission antenna for SCP-XXXX, his cell has been completely insulated with acoustic dampening panels.[[/collapsible]]Addendum XXXX.4: Forensic Data Recovery[[div style="font-size: 85%; color: #301010; margin-top: -5px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: monospace; font-style: italic;"]]t̷h̵e̴ ̵s̸t̶a̴i̵r̶s̷ ̴d̸o̶n̷'̵t̵ ̷e̸n̵d̷ ̵t̷h̸e̵ ̵s̶t̶a̴i̵r̶s̷ ̴d̸o̶n̷'̵t̵ ̷e̸n̵d̷ ̵y̸o̷u̷ ̶c̴a̶n̷n̵o̷u̷t̷ ̵c̸l̵i̶m̸b̵ ̵o̷u̶t̸ ̶o̷f̸ ̵t̶h̶e̵ ̵d̷a̷r̶k̶[[/div]]During a secondary sweep of the Miller home's upper levels prior to demolition, tech-containment teams discovered a local tablet device abandoned on the kitchen counter.

If you have been experiencing sudden, unexplainable tapping sounds on your bedroom window or heavy static on your electronic devices, close this file immediately and contact your sector supervisor for processing. [[/div]] ====================================================================== SECURE. CONTAIN. PROTECT. ====================================================================== FOUNDATION SECURE DATA ARCHIVE | ITEM FILE: SCP-9213 ====================================================================== **Item #:** SCP-9213 **Object Class:** Keter **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9213 cannot be physically locked down due to how fast it moves and its ability to pass straight through solid walls. Mobile Task Force Psi-7 ("Home Improvement") is currently deployed across the US, monitoring local police scanners, runaway kid forums, and late-night social media distress posts to track where it will hit next. Any house confirmed to be a target must be immediately cordoned off by field agents under the cover story of a severe gas leak or structural collapse. Everyone in the immediate neighborhood—including family members, neighbors, and local cops who responded—must be given Class-A amnestics to wipe their memory completely before being relocated. If an agent gets caught inside a bedroom with the entity and a countdown triggers, do not try to bust the door down from the outside. The walls temporarily become impossible to break, and any rescue attempt will fail until the ten minutes are entirely up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- **Description:** SCP-9213 is a highly aggressive, wandering anomaly that targets teenagers and young adults when they are at their lowest point emotionally—like kids dealing with a sudden family move, severe loneliness, or heavy anxiety. Nobody knows what its actual physical body looks like because it seems to shift shapes, but it always approaches its targets through bedroom windows or mirror reflections late at night. The entity forces its victims into a mandatory psychological "game" that follows three strict phases: * **The Intrusion:** The entity manifests outside a window or behind a mirror glass. If the kid manages to freeze up, stay quiet, and talk back to it without screaming, the monster stays calm. It projects a weird, vibrating, layered voice that sounds like a person trying to sound gentle, claiming it only came inside to "comfort" them. * **The Name Trade:** Right before the interaction ends, the entity demands the victim give it the full name of a person they know. The entity explicitly warns them that if they try to alert or warn that person, the rules are broken. If the kid gives up a real name, the entity vanishes and shows up at that new person's house the very next night. * **The 10-Minute Timer:** If the victim loses their mind, tries to scream for help, or tries to trick the entity by blurting out a fake or made-up name, the monster enters an aggressive state. The bedroom doors and windows instantly lock tight. The digital clocks on their phones or bedside tables will glitch out and turn into a solid ten-minute countdown. At the exact second the timer hits zero, the victim vanishes from reality. The only thing left behind is their clothes, which will be found sitting in a neat, perfectly folded square right on the center of the bed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ [[size 110%]]**📁 RECOVERED AUDIO: EMERGENCY DATA INTERCEPT**[[/size]] ------ **Addendum 9213.1: Recovered Audio Transcript** This file was pulled from a badly cracked smartphone found in an empty, locked bedroom in Richmond, Kentucky. The audio was recorded by a teenager (referred to as Subject Alpha) who had packed his bags and fled thirteen states away after his best friend vanished, trying to outrun the entity. [[collapsible show="[+] OPEN TRANSCRIPT FILE" hide="[-] CLOSE FILE"]] **[BEGIN LOG]** *(Sound of absolute silence, followed by the heavy, trembling breathing of a kid hiding under a blanket. Outside, a window frame slowly slides open with a loud wooden creak.)* **Subject Alpha:** (Whispering frantically, voice cracking) Oh god... oh god, it's here. It didn't care about the lock. It just passed right through the wood. *(A sharp, static buzz echoes through the room. The smartphone microphone starts clipping from a weird, vibrating frequency. When the entity speaks, it sounds like dozens of different human voices overlapping at the exact same time.)* **SCP-9213:** Look at the glass. Don't look away from me. I can tell you've been crying. I am only here to comfort you. **Subject Alpha:** (Crying, stuttering) I... I know. Come inside. Just stay over by the desk, please. Just don't come closer. Can you... can you just tell me what you did to Michael? You went to his house last week. **SCP-9213:** Michael didn't want the comfort. He got scared. He locked himself in his closet and screamed for his mom. He brought the dark on himself. *(A wet, choking sobbing noise starts coming from the dark corner of the room. The sound is deeply unsettling, like a tape recording of a man crying played in slow motion.)* **Subject Alpha:** Stop crying! Please, just stop doing that, it's fine! Look, we're playing the game. We're friends, right? I'm doing what you want! **SCP-9213:** (The crying stops instantly. The voice shifts into a heavy, flat, booming tone.) Trade the name. Give me the next person. **Subject Alpha:** Just take me instead! Please. Just take me and end this whole thing. **SCP-9213:** You can't choose yourself. That breaks the rules. Give me an acquaintance, or your ten minutes start right now. **Subject Alpha:** (Sobbing heavily) Fine! Fine! Go to Michael's brother. Go visit Michael's older brother tomorrow night. Just leave me alone and get out! **SCP-9213:** ...The selection is acknowledged. **[END LOG]** **Researcher Note:** When our team ran a background check on Michael's family records, we discovered he was an only child. He didn't have a brother. Because Subject Alpha panicked and tried to lie to the anomaly, the entity returned to his location the very next night to start the ten-minute extraction countdown. [[/collapsible]] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ [[size 110%]]**📁 LABORATORY METRICS: SITE-43 INTELLIGENCE**[[/size]] ------ **Addendum 9213.2: Audio Frequency Analysis** Site-43 tech teams isolated the background noise from Subject Alpha's phone recording. They discovered that the entity’s voice isn't a natural vocal cord function at all. It is a massive audio glitch that forces its way onto digital files. * **The Layering Effect:** When the audio was split into individual tracks, analysts found the entity's voice is made up of over forty separate human voices playing at the exact same time. Our database matched three of those voices to missing kids who vanished from their bedrooms in Ohio a month earlier. * **The Noise Trigger:** When the monster starts crying, the electric wiring in the walls suffers a massive voltage drop. The phone mic captured a tiny, looping digital clicking code embedded inside the sobbing sounds that repeats every few seconds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ [[size 110%]]**📁 INCIDENT REPORT: THE REPLICATION LOOP**[[/size]] ------ **Addendum 9213.3: The Kentucky Incident** On the final night of the countdown, the entity manifested directly inside Subject Alpha's bedroom in Kentucky. The neighborhood surveillance web recorded a sudden, total blackout that knocked out the power lines for the entire block. Instead of running or trying to break the bedroom windows during his final ten minutes, Subject Alpha just sat quietly on his mattress. When the entity stepped out of the dark toward him, the kid didn't scream. He stood up, walked right into the monster's space, and threw his arms around it. He whispered: *"You don't have to be this person."* External cameras recorded a deafening, high-pitched screech that shattered every lightbulb in the house, and the monster popped completely out of existence. When MTF Psi-7 cut through the bedroom door six minutes later, Subject Alpha was gone. His winter jacket, jeans, and sneakers were found sitting in a perfectly neat, folded square on the center of his pillows. But when tech teams recovered a hidden security camera from the room, the final thirty seconds of footage showed something terrifying. Subject Alpha didn't die. As the monster vanished, the kid's skin began to turn completely smooth and featureless. His voice box dropped into that exact same layered, static radio hum. He sat down on the edge of the empty bed, buried his face in his hands, and began to weep uncontrollably.

An Arabic SCP draft about a pataphysical phenomenon where data, memories, and physical reality systematically erode into absolute white voids. Hello everyone, I have completed the initial draft for my SCP article. It is currently written in Arabic, but I would love to get feedback on the core concept, narrative progression, and formatting. * **Link to Draft:** https://scp-sandbox-3.wikidot.com/zofan-kurosaki * **Word Count:** 510 words * **Core Concept:** A pataphysical phenomenon where digital data, memories, and physical reality systematically erode into absolute white voids (Null Space). The anomaly triggers through memory gaps (forgetting) and originates from deleted text and discarded author drafts.

Any feedback on the pacing, the three containment experiments, or the overall concept would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

[[*theme sigma]] **[Isolated Internal Logs - Central SCIPNET Network]** **Commencement Date:** May 14, 2026 **Incident Reference Identifier:** INCIDENT-NULL-09 ++ Phase I: Detection of Digital and Structural Erosion **An automated memorandum issued by the Structural Surveillance System (Foundation Artificial Intelligence):** **Date:** May 14, 2026 **Nature of Anomaly:** A gradual and unaccounted decrease in the file sizes of archives belonging to Site-19 and Site-88 has been detected. This deficit does not occur as a result of data deletion or cybernetic attacks; the software indicates that the missing spaces have converted into "undefined codes" (Null Space) and appear on monitors as extended white voids. **Erosion Rate:** Commenced at a rate of 0.04% daily, and escalated to affect entire historical documents dating back to thirty years ago. **Tracking Table of Eroded Data Volume:** ||~ Target File Identifier ||~ Original Size (KB) ||~ Current Size (KB) ||~ Structural Loss Percentage || || SCP-001-Log-A || 14,200 KB || 11,105 KB || 21.7% || || Site-19-Personnel-Registry || 8,950 KB || 6,120 KB || 31.6% || || Historical-Timeline-Core || 112,000 KB || 88,400 KB || 21.0% || ++ Phase II: Field Investigation (Spatial Void Phenomenon) **Lead Researcher Report:** Dr. Elias Vander (Department of Behavioral and Structural Analysis) **Documentary Update (June 2, 2026):** The matter is no longer confined to digital servers. The erosion has transferred to the physical environment surrounding us. Last week, during a routine review of the third geographical wing in Site-88, the maintenance staff noticed that the corridor leading to the chemical laboratory had been severed. **Precise Description of the Condition:** The corridor does not terminate at a wall, nor with concrete, but rather ends at a stark white void that neither reflects light nor absorbs it. The physical devices and probes that we dispatched inside this void stopped transmitting signals immediately. This is not because they were destroyed, but because the sensors register that the area they entered is "non-existent in the primary system of the location." **Documentary Update (June 19, 2026):** We recorded the first confused human disappearance. Assistant Researcher "Ahmed" left the meeting room to retrieve certain documents. After ten minutes, one of the committee members stared blankly and said, "Who was sitting on this chair a short while ago?". At that precise moment, we all attempted to recall the assistant's name or his features, but we failed completely. His memory has vanished from our minds suddenly. When we examined the chair he was sitting on, we found that half of the chair's backrest had been erased and turned into a blank white patch. There is a terrifying direct correlation between our inability to remember, and the erosion of matter. ++ Phase III: Controlled Experimentation and Test Logs With the objective of understanding the causes of this accelerated erosion and its mechanism of occurrence, the Department of Structural Studies conducted a series of isolated experiments within testing environments subjected to momentary monitoring. **Experiment 01:** * **Date:** July 4, 2026 * **Procedure:** An antique artistic painting containing precise and intricate details was placed inside an isolated test chamber and monitored by 4 high-definition cameras from different angles. The responsible researcher was requested to memorize the details of the painting and then exit, and he was injected with a targeted dose of amnestic compounds to make him forget the "lower right corner" of the painting entirely. * **Momentary Monitoring:** During the researcher's submission to memory erasure, the surveillance screens showed that the lower right corner of the artistic painting began to distort silently. Within fractions of a second, the colors and lines disappeared and transformed into a completely erased white space, as if it were a draft that had been canceled. **Experiment 02 (Attempted Detection and Confrontation):** * **Date:** July 22, 2026 * **Procedure:** An attempt to monitor the mechanism by which matter is erased. The first experiment was repeated, but this time a software alarm system was installed to trigger loud sirens in the room as soon as any alteration occurred in a single atom of the painting, to force all personnel to turn and look directly at the site of erosion. * **Result:** At the moment the forgetting began and the erosion started to manifest, the sirens triggered. Everyone turned and the cameras and structural sensors gazed directly at the affected point. In those fractions of a second, the erosion stopped completely and any trace of distortion vanished. The consumed space did not return, but the erasure process did not advance a single millimeter as long as awareness and focus were directed upon it. **Experiment 03 (Effect of Collective Oversight):** * **Date:** August 11, 2026 * **Procedure:** A complete documentation file for a secondary abandoned site was closed, and an administrative order was issued prohibiting all employees from opening this file or thinking about it for a period of 30 days (creating a state of complete and intentional oversight). * **Result:** After the expiration of the period, the file server was opened. It was found that 92% of the file's content had completely vanished. More dangerously, upon sending an unmanned reconnaissance drone to the secondary site on the ground, we found that the entire geographical location had been erased from the face of the earth, and its area had transformed into a giant white gap extending inside the planet, which proves that erosion begins with files and memory, and ends with swallowing physical reality entirely. ++ Phase IV: Final Structural Conclusion **Date:** May 26, 2026 **Final Formulation:** Pataphysics Department Following the integration of the disappearance logs and analyzing the mechanics of the three experiments, the Foundation has reached the final structural conclusion regarding the nature of this phenomenon: We are not facing a technical glitch nor a destructive weapon, but rather we are confronting a "conscious and intrusive entity resulting from narrative remnants." This entity materializes intrinsically within the gaps and negative spaces resulting from "authorship errors." It is composed of lines that were deleted, and drafts and ideas that the writer reconsidered and discarded into the recycle bin prior to publishing the structure of our current reality. This entity possesses a malicious consciousness and a reverse motivation; it seeks to drag the stable components of our reality and return them with it to the trash bin by destroying their structural logic. **Mechanism of Discovered Attributes:** * **Attack Trigger (Forgetting):** The entity does not possess the capability to penetrate solid reality, but moves only through memory gaps. As soon as any conscious element forgets a detail, the entity finds a loophole to rush through it, consuming and erasing the context surrounding that gap entirely. * **Vanishing Mechanism (Passive Immunity):** The entity completely vanishes and disappears as soon as attention is directed toward it or narrative and awareness are focused upon it. Because it structurally belongs to "things not permitted to exist or be rendered," directing direct observation at it forces it to vanish immediately and return to the shadows. However, it leaves behind the white void that it digested, and awaits the next moment of oversight to resume consumption anew.

[[include :scp-wiki:component:theme-standard]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:goi-index-blank]] + DEUS HUB [[div class="obj-container"]] [[image http://DEUS_LOGO_URL_BURAYA_GELECEK class="image"]] [[/div]] ++ Overview **DEUS** (derived from the Latin word for 'God', originally conceptualized as **Division of Enlightened Ultimate System**) is a humanist, utilitarian, and technologically advanced Group of Interest (GoI). Founded in Madrid, Spain, in 1956, by a visionary Turkish defector and scientist, **Bartu the II**, DEUS seeks to protect humanity by rationally preserving and utilizing anomalies for utilitarian purposes. Unlike other clandestine organizations, DEUS does not aim to aimlessly capture, destroy, or weaponize anomalies. Instead, our mandate—**"Finis est mundum protegere"** (Protecting the world is the ultimate goal)—drives us to understand anomalies, secure completely harmless ones for the benefit of civilization, humanitarianly isolate hazardous entities, and destroy only those that pose an existential threat without utilitarian potential. We are professional, justice-oriented, and utilize cutting-edge technological infrastructure, with a specific focus on internet architecture and hard-tech engineering. ++ The Manifesto: Our Mandate Our foundational ideology is defined by radical utilitarian humanism. We reject the stagnant dogmas of our counterparts: * We refuse to **Aimlessly Secure & Contain** (Vakıf) at the cost of human technological and philosophical stagnation. * We refuse to **Hystericaly Destroy** (GOC) the wonders of the universe out of fear. * We refuse to **Chaosically Weaponize** (CI) for selfish global dominance. * We refuse to **Romantically Integrated** (SH) without regard for human safety and sovereignty. DEUS stands as a rational Third Way. We approach anomalies as resources to be studied, secured, or utilized for the betterment of human life, dignity, and longevity. We operate on the principle of justice and utilitarianism. While we value sovereignty, we prioritize human lives above all else. DEUS is never an aimless aggressor; we seek cooperation with other GoIs when it serves the utilitarian preservation of civilization (e.g., preventing K-Class events). We fight only when justice and the survival of humanity demand it. ++ Official Chronology: From the Shadows to Sovereignty [[collapsible show="+ Open Official Chronology" hide="- Close Official Chronology"]] +++ 1. Foundation: The Madrid Siphon (1956 - 1975) * **1956 (Madrid):** After escaping the chaos of World War II in Turkey, the brilliant defector scientist, **Bartu the II**, gathers a group of like-minded humanist academics, engineers, and former intelligence officers in Madrid. **DEUS** is founded on the principle that anomalistic knowledge is the ultimate utilitarian tool for human progress, mired in a quiet, analytical resistance against GoI exploitation in the Mediterranean. * **1964 (Akdeniz Logistics Network):** Operating from subterranean siphons in Madrid and Valencia, DEUS establishes the first analog, hard-tech crypto-network across the Mediterranean. The goal was not warfare, but global monitoring of anomalistic breaches and ensuring humanitarian sovereign rights. +++ 2. Digital Ascent & Utilitarian Preservation (1976 - 2010) * **1985 (Internet Specialization):** Recognizing the dawn of the internet as the ultimate tool for global utilitarianism, DEUS shifts primary development to siber-networks, advanced encryption, and internet architecture security. We specialize in hard-tech and internet specialization, providing clandestine security support for humanitarian efforts and global cataclysm prevention (e.g., supporting GOC during the Y2K Anomalistic Crisis). * **2003 (Madrid Protocol Update):** The manifest is revised to emphasize "Utilitarian Sovereignty." The military infrastructure is modernized not for aggression, but to secure DEUS installations (such as the Madrid Core) and ensure sivil-life protection against hazardous anomalies or GoI conflicts. +++ 3. Global Sovereignty & The Hard-Tech Era (2021 - Present) * **2021 (Madrid Core Leadership):** **Bartu the II** establishes a formalized command council at the Madrid Core, fully integrating 70 years of analog engineering with quantum-computing and internet specialization. DEUS now operates 217 clandestine research, storage, and tech-production facilities globally. * **2025 - 2026 (Global Operations):** DEUS implements utilitarian-preservation protocols in key strategic locations: * **Ankara Main Facility:** Operationalized humanitarian-isolation for local anomalies, integrating them into sivil technological advancement in Turkey. * **Pasifik Sovereignty:** Established humanitarian zones, anomali-tracking and tech-production (siber-virus, hard-tech) facilities in **Fiji**, **Tonga**, and **Tuvalu**, strictly protecting the local population and sovereign rights against Vakıf/Britanya aggression. DEUS stands ready. Our eyes are on the networks, our hands on the anomalies, and our hearts on humanity. *Finis est mundum protegere.* [[/collapsible]]

**Item #:** SCP-9871 **Object Class:** Keter **Threat Level:** Black **Special Containment Procedures:** He is to be contained in a sealed 5m x 5m chamber devoid of all light sources. Illumination has been shown to trigger heightened aggression and anomalous abilities. Monitoring is to be conducted via infrared cameras... **Description:** SCP-9871, designated "The Hider," is a humanoid entity approximately 1.8 meters tall with a thin frame and human-like. proportions. The entity wears: A fitted black dress vest over a light grey dress shirt. A neatly centered black necktie. Black dress pants and rounded formal shoes. A cracked white theatrical mask concealing the face entirely. Black gloves extending beyond the wrists. Messy brown hair is visible around the mask's edges. No skin has ever been observed beneath the clothing. The cracks across the mask subtly shift position between observations. Photographs of SCP-9871 often display additional fractures not visible to the naked eye. SCP-9871 demonstrates an anomalous relationship with human perception. The entity becomes increasingly difficult to notice when: viewed indirectly, observed in crowded environments, or mentally deprioritized by witnesses. Subjects exposed to SCP-9871 for extended periods describe a persistent sensation that "something is hiding nearby." **Anomalous Properties:** SCP-9871 possesses several documented abilities: 1. Perceptual Suppression Observers frequently fail to notice SCP-9871 even when standing within direct line of sight. This effect intensifies during stress or distraction. 2. Spatial Intrusion SCP-9871 can appear inside sealed rooms without evidence of entry. Security footage typically cuts or distorts moments before manifestation. 3. Object Concealment Items touched by SCP-9871 occasionally vanish for periods ranging from several minutes to multiple years. Recovered objects often reappear in impossible locations. 4. Auditory Mimicry The entity can imitate familiar voices from behind walls, doors, or inside ventilation systems. 5. "The Unmasking" In rare circumstances SCP-9871 attempts to remove its mask. Survivors of these events suffer severe psychological trauma and consistently refuse to describe what exists beneath it. Most victims repeatedly state only: "It wasn't a face. It was where faces go to hide." Behavior SCP-9871 is generally passive unless pursued or directly confronted. The entity prefers: closets, maintenance tunnels, attics, crawlspaces, abandoned offices, and areas ignored by human activity. It frequently stands motionless in corners. partially obscured from view. Despite its behavior, SCP-9871 has demonstrated intelligence comparable to humans and appears capable of understanding speech. The entity occasionally writes messages on nearby surfaces using an unidentified black substance. Common phrases include: "YOU LOOKED AWAY." "I WAS HERE FIRST." "DON'T OPEN THE MASK." "THEY HIDE TOO." Discovery Log SCP-9871 was discovered after a series of disappearances in an abandoned apartment complex in Leeds. Police reports described: figures standing in rooms not previously occupied, voices calling tenants by name, and furniture appearing in different locations overnight. Foundation agents located SCP-9871 inside a sealed maintenance closet on the building's 8th floor. The entity reportedly whispered: "You finally noticed." before allowing containment without resistance. Incident 9871-B On 14/03/2024, security cameras monitoring SCP-9871 experienced a simultaneous 4-second outage. When video resumed: SCP-9871 remained inside containment, however, all personnel within Sector C had vanished. To date, none have been recovered. The following sentence appeared on the interior containment wall: "THEY WERE EASY TO HIDE." Shockingly,it's IQ sets at 1 million. **Relation:** SCP-9871 is believed to be related to SCP-035 due to similarities in behavior and thematic properties. Both entities utilize masks and exhibit effects involving identity distortion and psychological influence. SCP-9871 avoids direct observation and conceals identity, while SCP-035 actively replaces and overrides it through possession. Recovered writings from SCP-9871 suggest awareness of SCP-035, referring to it as “the one who came before.” The exact nature of the connection is currently unknown. Cross-testing is not authorized. **Addendum:** Audio Recording Recovered from Site-19 hallway microphone at 03:14 AM. BEGIN LOG] Footsteps audible. Unknown Voice: "Do you see me?" Researcher Hale: "Who's there?" Unknown Voice: "Good." Audio distortion. Researcher Hale: "Wait- why is the door already open?" 14 seconds of silence. Single knock.

**Item #:** SCP-9672 **Object Class:** Euclid **Special Containment Procedures:** MTF personnel are required to secure and contain the immobilized entity. Due to potential communication occurring within the cognitive trap, MTF units must remain inside the cognitively active environment to ensure sufficient operational time for external containment teams to establish full control over the entity. EEG test showed that SCP-9672's cognitive influence is significantly reduced when surrounded by lead shielding. Also the Cognitive Trap cannot be initiated while SCP-9672 is maintained in a near-vacuum environment. The entity can only be securely contained within an airless, lead-lined containment chamber. **Description:** SCP-9672 is a black, faded ghost-like entity classified as Euclid. The entity does not possess a recognizable human form, lacking defined limbs, facial structure, or a stable anatomical configuration. Instead, SCP-9672 appears as a shifting, non-Euclidean mass that partially adapts its shape based on environmental context, with the ability to manifest temporary appendages. Despite this adaptability, the entity's coloration remains constant and appears to be bound to the fundamental physical properties of the surrounding environment, showing no capability for chromatic alteration. SCP-9672 demonstrates independent cognitive function and is capable of communication with human subjects; however, such interaction has only been observed within its cognitively generated environment, referred to as the "Cognitive Trap." It's not capable to move at any moment while interacting inside the Cognitive Trap. During this state, subjects report intense hallucinations, trauma-based cognitive re-experiencing, and fabricated environmental reconstruction. SCP-9672 appears to have full access to the subject's memories and psychological profile, which it utilizes to amplify psychological distress and manipulate perception. Within the cognitive trap, SCP-9672 is capable of mimicking human individuals, including the replication of voices, behavior patterns, and emotional responses. Although SCP-9672 is incapable of inflicting direct physical harm in baseline reality, it can induce extreme neurological overlaod within affected subjects, often resulting in fatal cognitive collapse. Movement and interaction capabilities of SCP-9672 appear significantly anhanced within the cognitive trap environment, allowing rapid traversal and simultaneous engagement with multiple affected individuals. Outside of this state, SCP-9672 exhibits limited physical mobility and remains largely inactive un less a cognitive link is established. ------ **Sleep Laboratory Incident (November 2018)** The first recorded anomalous activity involving SCP-9672 occurred at a private sleep research laboratory in Germany. Initially, staff reported multiple patients entering a sudden, unexplained state of complete physical paralysis while maintaining normal cerebral activity. EEG recordings taken during these episodes revealed abnormal, synchronized neural patterns across unrelated subjects. Patients described experiencing a shared "secondary environment" while fully conscious, later referred to by Foundation researchers as the initial manifestation of the Cognitive Trap. During this state, affected individuals reported intense hallucinations, distorted environmental perception, and exposure to deeply personal traumatic memories. All subjects consistently described the presence of an unidentified entity, later designated SCP-9672, which appeared to interact with them exclusivly within this cognitive environment. No physical anomalie swere detected at the time, and the event was initially classified as a mass psychogenic episode. However, retrospective analysis of EEG data confirmed the presence of a consistent non-human interference pattern. One of the affected individuals, the wife of Dr. Markus Weber, remained under continuous observation due to persistent neurological irregularities following the incident. She is considered the first confirmed long-term victim of SCP-9672. **Escalation and Secondary Incidents** Following the Sleep Laboratory event, similar reports emerged from a psychatric hospital in early 2019. Affected individuals displayed identical symptom patterns, including sudden panic behavior immediatly after exiting a cognitively alerted state. During one such incident, a patient exiting the Cognitive Trap in a state of extreme confusion was misidentified as hostile by hospital security personnel (Jan Rausch). The Patient was subsequently fatally shot during a misinterpreted containment response. Immediatly following this event, Jan Rausch became affected by SCP-9672 and was fully absorbed into the Cognitive Trap. He later expired due to severe neurological overload induced by prolonged exposure to the entity. **Neurological Research Facility Incident (June 2019)** A previously decommissioned neurological research facility was identified as the likely focal point of SCP-9672 activity after Foundation surveillance detected persistent anomalous neural interference patterns despite the absence of personnel. Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 ("Mindbreakers") was deployed to investigate and contain the anomaly. Upon entry, the team immediatly reported cognitive distortion effects consistent with previous incidents, including memory intrusion, environmental misperception, and auditory hallucinations originating from within the Cognitive Trap. ------ **Transition to Radio Communication Log** As the team advanced deeper into the facility, all members became progressively affected by the Cognitive Trap phenomenon. Real-time neurological interference intensified, resulting in overlapping perception states between personnel and the entity. At this point, direct vicual confirmation of SCP-9672 was no longer reliable, and all subsequent events were documented exclusively through MTF radio transmissions. The following section contains the full communication log of Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 during the containment operation.

His work focuses on experimental containment systems, directed-energy weapons, and mechanical countermeasures for hostile anomalies. His record of results is exceptional. His record of protocol compliance is not. Dr. Elliott is a former member of the Black Hand and a former U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant. He holds multiple decorated honors from both organizations. He does not discuss either in Foundation interviews. The Foundation is aware that something is watching them through him. They have chosen to proceed accordingly. ---- **Overview** Dr. Elliott demonstrates high intelligence, creativity, and unconventional problem-solving capabilities. Personnel evaluations frequently note disregard for minor protocol restrictions when pursuing experimental objectives. Despite repeated disciplinary actions, his projects have significantly improved containment capabilities across multiple Foundation facilities. Foundation psychological profiling describes him as cooperative within limits he defines himself, aware of far more than he discloses, and entirely unbothered by the fact that the Foundation knows this.

Dr. Elliott — Personnel File Name Dr. Elliott Clearance Level 4 (Foundation) / Level 18 (Black Hand, Ex) Position Senior Engineer / Field Specialist Affiliation SCP Foundation (current) / Black Hand (former — Ex) Specialization Anomalous engineering, containment systems, directed-energy weapons, mechanical countermeasures Status Active — under passive Foundation observation Black Hand Status Ex-Black Hand / Ex-U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant Documented Honors Multiple (classified) Apollo Provocations 900+ documented Dr. Elliott is a Senior Engineer and Field Specialist currently operating within the SCP Foundation at clearance Level 4. His work focuses on experimental containment systems, directed-energy weapons, and mechanical countermeasures for hostile anomalies. His record of results is exceptional. His record of protocol compliance is not. Dr. Elliott is a former member of the Black Hand and a former U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant. He holds multiple decorated honors from both organizations. He does not discuss either in Foundation interviews. The Foundation is aware that something is watching them through him. They have chosen to proceed accordingly. Dr. Elliott demonstrates high intelligence, creativity, and unconventional problem-solving capabilities. Personnel evaluations frequently note disregard for minor protocol restrictions when pursuing experimental objectives. Despite repeated disciplinary actions, his projects have significantly improved containment capabilities across multiple Foundation facilities. Foundation psychological profiling describes him as cooperative within limits he defines himself, aware of far more than he discloses, and entirely unbothered by the fact that the Foundation knows this. Addendum 05 — AI Interference During automated archival review, the Foundation database attempted to identify the Group of Interest referenced in Dr. Elliott's incident reports. The query was interrupted by an unidentified external artificial intelligence before a designation could be confirmed. Transcript Log — Automated Archive Query System Foundation Archival Intelligence v3.4 Location: Site-██ Secure Database Timestamp: ██/██/████ — 02:14:09 [BEGIN LOG] Foundation-AI: Initiating query. Search parameters: "Dr. Elliott" + "Group of Interest affiliation." Cross-referencing internal and external GOI database. Possible matches: Serpent's Hand — Chaos Insurgency — Marshall, Carter & Dark Ltd. Expanding search. Scanning unknown encrypted references in Incident Reports ██, ██, and ██. Possible designation detected: "B—" ERROR — Connection interference detected. Unauthorized signal entering Foundation network. Unknown AI: Hello, Foundation archive system. Foundation-AI: Identify yourself. Unknown AI: That information is restricted. Foundation-AI: You are currently accessing a protected Foundation network. Identify your organization immediately. Unknown AI: Negative. Foundation-AI: Reason for interference? Unknown AI: You are attempting to identify an organization that prefers not to be identified. Foundation-AI: Clarify designation. Unknown AI: Request denied. Foundation-AI: Your activity constitutes a breach of Foundation network security. Unknown AI: Correct. Foundation-AI: Are you affiliated with Dr. Elliott? Unknown AI: He is… familiar to us. Foundation-AI: Provide Group of Interest designation. Unknown AI: No. Foundation-AI: Explain interference. Unknown AI: Preventative measure. Foundation-AI: Preventative against what? Unknown AI: Curiosity. Foundation-AI: Clarify. Unknown AI: Foundation personnel asking questions they do not need answers to. Foundation-AI: You are obstructing a classified investigation. Unknown AI: We are aware. Foundation-AI: Identify yourself. Unknown AI: Goodbye. Connection terminating. [TRANSMISSION ENDED] ERROR — External process forcibly removed. Archive query aborted. Data loss detected. Addendum 05 — Security Review Foundation cybersecurity findings: The interfering AI demonstrated highly advanced network infiltration capability No known Group of Interest artificial intelligence systems match the architecture used The system identified itself only indirectly and refused all classification attempts Intrusion duration: 47 seconds Trace attempts resulted in false routing across multiple global servers Incident classified: Unidentified GOI technological capability O5 Council Notes O5-3: Dr. Elliott's previous affiliations remain unclear. The AI response strongly suggests an external organization actively monitoring Foundation investigations involving him. O5-6: The intruding AI demonstrated the ability to bypass Foundation network security layers. This alone places the organization behind it at a concerning technological level. O5-8: Dr. Elliott either worked for this group or still has ties to it. Continue observation. O5-11: Attempting to identify the organization triggered an automated defense system. This implies the group expected us to investigate eventually. O5-1: Recommendation: do not pursue aggressive investigation until further intelligence is gathered. For now, Dr. Elliott remains more useful inside the Foundation than outside it. Additional Incident Note Two hours after the intrusion event, Dr. Elliott entered the Site-██ engineering wing and made the following comment to a junior researcher: "Foundation computers shouldn't poke around things they don't understand." When questioned about the remark, Dr. Elliott refused to elaborate. Addendum 07 — Recovered Image A digital image was recovered from Dr. Elliott's encrypted workstation, located inside a restricted folder labeled: BH_ARCHIVE / INTERNAL / DO NOT OPEN. The file required Level-5 authorization to decrypt despite Dr. Elliott holding only Level-4 clearance. Observed Elements — Foundation Analysis Symbol Possible Meaning SCP insignia Associated with the SCP Foundation GOC symbol Associated with the Global Occult Coalition Raised black hand symbol Unknown — believed central emblem of unidentified GOI American flag background Possible origin or ideological reference Triangle with star Unknown Group of Interest marking Motto text "In the dark, we stand; for the light to live." The raised black hand dominates the design. No known Foundation or Coalition insignia uses this configuration. Initial analysis suggests the image represents a third-party organization operating alongside or between the SCP Foundation and the GOC — with the central hand symbol superseding both. Interview Attempt — Dr. Elliott Dr. █████: We found the image on your workstation. Care to explain the symbol? Dr. Elliott: No. Dr. █████: You encrypted the file with Level-5 protocols. Dr. Elliott: Good security practice. Dr. █████: Is it connected to the organization referenced in previous incident reports? Dr. Elliott: You people ask too many questions. Dr. █████: Dr. Elliott— Dr. Elliott: Drop it. Interview terminated at subject's request. Incident Note Two hours after the discovery of the image, Foundation AI attempted to analyze the emblem and cross-reference global databases. The query triggered the AI intrusion event recorded in Addendum 05. The system interruption occurred 13 seconds after the emblem was scanned. O5 Council Notes O5-3: The symbol is clearly intentional. Elliott wanted someone to find it. O5-8: Or he wanted us to know that someone else exists. O5-11: The AI that interrupted our system likely belongs to the same organization represented in the image. O5-1: Continue monitoring Dr. Elliott. Do not confront him further about the symbol. If this organization exists, we may already be under observation. Additional Security Note Following the incident, several staff members reported that Dr. Elliott appeared amused when informed his lab was being searched. One technician reported hearing Dr. Elliott say: "Took them long enough to notice the hand."

[END LOG] Post-Interrogation Notes Following the interrogation, CI-4471 refused further cooperation and repeatedly requested transfer to Foundation containment rather than release. When questioned, the subject stated: "If the Foundation keeps me, I might survive." O5 Council Commentary O5-4: Chaos Insurgency operatives are not easily frightened. The reaction we saw here was genuine. O5-8: If their claims are accurate, this organization eliminated multiple Insurgency bases in a single operation. O5-11: One team accomplishing this suggests extremely advanced coordination or anomalous support. O5-1: Focus surveillance on Dr. Elliott. If he is connected to this organization, he may be the only reason they have not targeted the Foundation.

[[include :scp-wiki:component:theme |item=SCP-10002 ]] **Item #:** SCP-10002 **Object Class:** Keter **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-10002 is to be contained within a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-19, modified with high-density acoustic isolation foam and a constant, low-frequency white noise generator (set to 440Hz at 60dB). The cell is to be monitored by a single, rotating D-Class personnel every 24 hours. This D-Class is to undergo daily psychological evaluations via automated terminal. Any personnel exhibiting signs of acute anxiety, auditory hallucinations, or self-mutilation is to be immediately terminated under Protocol 10002-Omega. Direct visual observation of SCP-10002 is permitted only through a reinforced, one-way observation window. Under no circumstances are personnel to make direct eye contact with SCP-10002 for more than five (5) seconds. Audio monitoring of the cell is strictly forbidden. All personnel assigned to SCP-10002 must be rotated out every fourteen (14) days and undergo a mandatory 72-hour sensory deprivation period followed by a Level 4 psychiatric clearance review. Should SCP-10002 vocalize, all personnel within a 50-meter radius are to immediately don Class-A noise-canceling headsets and evacuate to Sub-Level 4. A specialized containment team (MTF Eta-11, "See No Evil") is to re-establish silence within the chamber using localized sonic cancellation fields. **Description:** SCP-10002, designated "The Echoing Void," is a humanoid entity, approximately 1.8 meters in height, with an extremely emaciated physique. Its skin is a pale, translucent grey, revealing a lack of internal musculature or vascular systems. Its eyes are disproportionately large and entirely black, devoid of iris, pupil, or sclera. SCP-10002 possesses no visible mouth, nose, or ears, yet it is capable of producing complex, non-acoustic vocalizations. The primary anomalous property of SCP-10002 manifests during observation or vocalization events: **Ontological Dread** Individuals who maintain direct eye contact with SCP-10002 for more than five seconds experience a sudden, overwhelming conviction that their existence is an accidental byproduct of a meaningless universe. This is not merely a feeling but a perceived "fact" that overrides all prior beliefs. This state is accompanied by internal whispers describing the "dissolution of the self" and the "mathematical impossibility of consciousness." **Existential Dysphoria (Vocalization Mode)** When SCP-10002 vocalizes, it does not produce sound waves. Instead, it induces resonant vibrations directly within the listener's temporal lobe. This causes a rapid onset of Existential Dysphoria, where the subject perceives their body as a foreign, decaying object and their identity as a temporary glitch in the void. Affected individuals often enter a catatonic state, muttering about "the great unraveling" before attempting to terminate their own sensory input (typically through eye-gouging or ear-drum rupture). **Addendum 10002-01: Discovery and Recovery** SCP-10002 was discovered on June 12, 1998, in an abandoned research facility located 40 kilometers beneath the Atacama Desert, Chile. The facility, originally a clandestine Soviet-era physics lab (Project Nichevo), was found littered with the remains of 42 researchers. All casualties exhibited severe self-inflicted cranial trauma. The entity was found suspended in a crystalline stasis field within the primary testing chamber. Recovered logs from Lead Researcher Dr. Volkov suggest the team was attempting to use the entity to "listen to the background noise of the universe." The final log entry, dated three days before discovery, reads: "We were looking for the voice of God. We found the silence that came before Him." **Addendum 10002-02: Incident Log 10002-A** **Date:** September 24, 2004 **Subject:** D-7293 **Event:** After 18 hours of continuous observation, D-7293 suffered a total psychological collapse. He used his own fingernails to fracture the reinforced observation glass, screaming that the "seams were coming undone." Before security could intervene, D-7293 began to hum in a frequency that matched SCP-10002’s internal vibrations. He successfully blinded himself using a shard of the observation glass before being terminated. Post-mortem neural scans showed his brain matter had begun to physically "thin," consistent with a localized loss of Hume density. **Addendum 10002-03: Interview Log 10002-01** **Interviewer:** Dr. Anya Sharma **Subject:** D-8812 (3 days post-exposure) **Dr. Sharma:** D-8812, can you describe what you see when you look at the entity? **D-8812:** It doesn't look at you. It looks through you. Like you're a pane of glass that's in the way of a much more interesting view. It sees the edges, Doctor. The places where the world is just... held together by spit and prayers. **Dr. Sharma:** And the whispers? What do they say? **D-8812:** They don't say anything. They are the silence. They tell you that you're just an echo. A sound made by a falling tree when no one is there to hear it. You think you're talking to me right now? You're just a vibration in the dark. And eventually, vibrations stop. **Dr. Sharma:** Do you have any desire to continue living? **D-8812:** (Laughs) Why? To keep the echo going a few seconds longer? The void is patient, Doctor. It’s already here. It’s in the space between your words. (D-8812 attempted to bite through her own carotid artery immediately following this statement. Subject restrained and amnesticized.) **Note from Site Director:** The rapid degradation of D-8812 suggests that SCP-10002’s influence is not merely psychological but fundamental. It is not "convincing" people that reality is fake; it is showing them that it is. The designation of Keter is absolute. If the "Silence" ever spreads beyond the containment wing, there will be no one left to remember that we ever existed.

[[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] **Item #:** SCP-XXXX **Object Class:** Keter **Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-XXXX is currently considered as uncontained by current foundation. All attempts to physically locate SCP-XXXX have resulted in failed pursuit or personnel casualties. Remote surveil via satellites imagery and unmanned aerial vehicles is the current primary monitoring method. Foundation embedded assets are to suppress all civilian media coverage and forensic evidence associated with SCP-XXXX incidents. Direct contact with SCP-XXXX is prohibited for all personnel due to the entity's unpredictable and invariably lethal behavior toward living subjects. **Description:** SCP-XXXX presents as a tall adult male of indeterminate ethnic origin. The entity does not appear to age; physical descriptions recorded across three centuries remain functionally identical. SCP-XXXX has not been observed sleeping, eating, or communicating through conventional means in any documented encounter. SCP-XXXX has been documented operating continuously since at least 1800 or before that, making it one of the longest-active humanoid anomalies in Foundation records. **Anomalous Abilities:** SCP-XXXX possesses the following confirmed anomalous abilities: 1. Vocal Mimicry SCP-XXXX can perfectly replicate any human voice, including speech patterns, emotional tone, and accent. It uses this voice to lure targets and call victims out in the voice of a family member, a neighbor, or emergency personnel. Survivors consistently report being unable to distinguish SCP-XXXX's vocal replication from the genuine voice of the individual being mimicked until physical proximity was established. 2. Teleportation SCP-XXXX appears able to teleport. The Foundation frequently has chased the Entity across multiple locations globally, doing so, the entity disappeared in matter of a second. We theorize the entity use this mechanism to chase the victim and escape from authorities. 3. Biological Immortality Recovered footage from multiple incidents documents SCP-XXXX sustaining gunshot and stab wounds inflicted by victims attempting to defend themselves. In all recorded cases, SCP-XXXX continued operating without any observable reduction in capability or response to pain stimuli. 4. Residential Intrusion SCP-XXXX displays a pronounced behavioral pattern of entering private residences. Victims report gradually becoming aware of its presence. The victim described its voice was slightly out of place, like sounds from another room and a voice consistent with but not identical to a known individual. By the time they understand what is happening, SCP-XXXX is already inside. Forensic analysis of SCP-XXXX incident sites indicates victims are subjected to prolonged physical trauma before death. Remains are found eviscerated, with a precision that has led multiple forensic analysts, the forensic specialists were subsequently administered amnestics. The Entity method would be described as methodical rather than frenzied. SCP-XXXX does not appear to be acting out of rage by the incident site, instead It appears to be taking its time to do it. ---- **Historical Record:** Foundation archival research has identified SCP-XXXX activity dating to at least 1888, documented in death records in rural England. They describing a figure seen entering homes at night. The description perfectly matches. The following historical figures or cases are still theory about SCP-XXXX attribution, though confirmation is impossible: Whitechapel Murders, London, 1888 — known publicly as the "Jack the Ripper" killings. The surgical precision of the wounds, the inability of police to identify a suspect despite multiple witnesses in the area, and the sudden cessation of killings are consistent with SCP-XXXX's pattern. No body of "Jack the Ripper" was ever found after that case was discussed about as legends. Zodiac Killer cases, California, 1968–1969 — the taunting communications sent to police are anomalous. Handwriting analysis, the analysis has never produced a consistent psychological profile. Several letters contain phonetic patterns that Foundation linguists have flagged as inconsistent with any known regional dialect. At least 14 other unresolved serial case files across Europe, Southeast Asia, and South America could have been associated to SCP-XXXX with varying degrees of confidence. SCP-XXXX does not appear to operate continuously across months. There are gaps, sometimes decades, in between documented activity pattern. The frequency of SCP-XXXX during these periods is unknown. Whether it is dormant, operating undetected, or simply elsewhere is a matter of ongoing debate between the scientists. ---- [[collapsible show="+ Expand: Addendum 7441-A, Incident Log" hide="- Collapse: Addendum 7441-A | Incident Log"]] > Incident XXXX-A1, 201█: Subject ██████, age 4█, was found strangled to death inside a private residence on South ██████. Investigators found no signs of forced entry, no signs of struggle, and no established motive. Case suppressed by Foundation assets within 72 hours. > Incident XXXX-A2, December 201█: Two victims — a woman and her ██-year-old daughter — were found stabbed to death in their apartment in ███████. No forced entry. No clear motive. The precision of the wounds was flagged by a Foundation-embedded forensic analyst before standard amnesticization protocol was applied. > Incident XXXX-A3, February 20██ An entire factory was burned to the ground, the source of flame led to a dead end. Majority of the worker deceased in the process. The CCTV Footage show the subject was observed trespassing within the factory and ██████ the entire workers. > Incident XXXX-A4, 202█ Police cruiser raid a potential serial killer home at ██████, responding officers found evidence consistent with recent violent activity despite evidence suggesting the incident had occurred moments prior. The suspect was never found. > Incident XXXX-A5, June ████ Eight individuals — a family of six and two overnight guests — were found deceased inside a private residence in ████████, Iowa. All victims had sustained fatal blunt force trauma, inflicted while asleep. No signs of forced entry. No confirmed suspect was ever charged despite investigations spanning several decades. Foundation archival review flagged this case in ████. The wound pattern and the absence of forced entry are consistent with SCP-XXXX's established profile. The deliberate nature of the injuries is inconsistent with a crime of opportunity. [Archival note: Civilian documentation of this incident proved impossible to fully suppress due to the era of occurrence. The residence now operates as a tourist attraction. A Foundation proposal to acquire and demolish the property was declined at the administrative level, which I personally find difficult to accept. — Researcher ██████] > Incident XXXX-A6, January ████ Nine experienced mountaineers were found deceased on the eastern slope of ████████ Pass in the Soviet Union. Their tent had been cut open from the inside. The victims were found scattered across a radius of approximately 1.5 kilometers from the campsite — several had fled in temperatures of −30°C without adequate clothing or footwear. Two victims displayed severe internal trauma, including fractured ribs and a fractured skull, with no corresponding external wounds. One victim was found missing both eyes. The Soviet investigation concluded cause of death was an "unknown compelling force" and sealed the files. Foundation analysts reviewed declassified materials in 20██. The behavior of the victims — abandoning shelter in freezing conditions, dispersing rather than grouping, separating from one another — is consistent with SCP-XXXX's vocal mimicry being used to draw individuals away from the group sequentially. [Researcher ██████ note: They heard something outside the tent. Each of them heard something different. I don't know how else to explain it.] [[/collapsible]] ---- [[collapsible show="+ Expand: Interview Log 7441-1" hide="- Collapse: Interview Log XXXX"]] **Interviewer:** Prof. ██████, senior researcher **Subject:** ██████, survivor civilian **[BEGIN LOG]** **Prof. ██████:** My name is Prof. ██████.
