 Item number, SCP-067, Object Class, SAFE. Special Containment Procedures. When not in use or the subject of study, SCP-067 is to be stored in its felt-lined wooden box. The nib is to be corked, and all art and writings are to be submitted to SCP Research Command for analysis and further experimentation. SCP-067 is a fountain pen, made by a German supply company called Pelican, at some point between World War I and II. It is pale green in color, with a single red line going straight down along the side. The shell is oak, and the nib is extremely sharp, capable of piercing human skin if pressed even lightly. Though it apparently lacks a reservoir, the nib never appears to run out of fresh ink. In addition, the pen writes an iron gall ink, which is suitable for artists, but would normally corrode typical fountain pens quickly. Research has surmised that any subject holding SCP-067 loses all autonomy of the hand and arm that grasps it. Full sensation is intact, but the arm below the elbow is controlled by unknown forces, theoretically centralized within SCP-067. One effect is that the controlled hand will start to use the pen to write a detailed biography of the individual holding the pen. This biography will include such information as the person's name, age, date of birth, criminal record, fears, etc. Other times, the pen has been known to write such things as an occurrence that happened in the person's lifetime. For example, when Test Subject 1204M held SCP-067, he began to write a detailed record of a motor vehicle accident he had been in the year before. Later, the subject admitted that many details penned in the account were not readily available to him at present time. I.e., the subject had forgotten many elements present in the written work, including his previous car's license plate number, the other vehicle's color, and so on. The subject stated that his memory of the event was so fresh in his mind during the transcription that he could taste the blood in his mouth. Subjects holding SCP-067 have also been known to create intricate works of art, despite the subject lacking any formal art training or previous tendencies toward drawing. For example, Test Subject 1102F, a young woman with no previous artistic experience, was able to draw a winged creature resembling SCP-067 described by researchers present as data-expunged. When the subjects are asked to explain what happens when they hold SCP-067, the typical response is that the subject freely relinquishes control of their appendage to SCP-067 so that it may complete its work unimpeded. Despite being instructed to not draw or write, subjects describe feelings of empathy, admiration, and cooperation with SCP-067 that coerces them toward a will not their own. Quoted response one, I don't really know how to explain it, it just kind of happened. When I picked up the pen, it seemed as if my hand wasn't my own anymore. I knew I could move it if I wanted to, but I chose not to because I loved the picture I was drawing. It was like my hand had life. Suddenly, my hand stopped and I realized I had complete control over my hand again and I put the pen back down. I looked at the drawing and saw how beautiful it was. I guess the pen decided it was done and was finished with me. Tests and Experiments A test was done to see how the pen affected living creatures other than humans. Experiment 001 The Test Subject A male rhesus macaque aged two years four months who had previously learned how to use pens and markers was placed in a standard psychological surveillance room. Neutral wall coloration one-way observation mirrors. Width SCP-067 A work table and a pad of paper. Subject picked up SCP-067 in his left foot, then took it in his right hand, then tasted it. Subject then put the pen down on the paper and smelled it. After 30 seconds, Subject picked up SCP-067 again and began tapping it repeatedly on the table. Subject also began tapping SCP-067 on his own body. Subject tapped SCP-067 with increasing force until ink was being splattered on his fur. Subject then threw SCP-067 onto the floor. Subsequent mechanical analysis revealed no damage. At this point, Subject tore a page from the pad of paper and began rubbing it on the ink in his fur. This continued for three minutes, after which Subject clutched the page in his teeth and leaped from the work table onto the ledge of the observation mirror with such force that the table was knocked over. Subject began smearing the ink from the paper onto the observation mirror while making repeated vocalizations. Subsequent analysis revealed that 50% of vocalizations were consistent with the typical distress vocalizations of the rhesus macaque and 50% were unfamiliar. After six minutes of smearing ink on the observation mirror, Subject began tearing at the page with his teeth and claws, but dropped it before destroying more than 20% of the paper. Subject then collapsed on the floor, breathing rapidly, and repeating the unfamiliar atypical vocalizations. Subject's handler reports that, once removed from psychological surveillance room, Subject's mood improved rapidly. Subject was closely observed for two months following the experiment, but did not repeat the atypical vocalizations. The sheaf of paper was filed away. In data expunged. Item number SCP-085 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures Revised SCP-085 is to be contained in a single chalk white bond drawing pad in a secure containment facility. Supervised contact with SCP-085 is unrestricted to all personnel with level 2 access. All personnel coming into contact with SCP-085 are subject to searches and random psych analysis upon entering or leaving the containment area. Absolutely no paper or canvas media are allowed to exit SCP-085's containment room. Any paper trash must be disposed of by incineration after careful inspection. Paper and art supplies are to be brought in only by authorized personnel. In case of fire, flames are smothered using a rapid atmospheric replacement and CO2 dumping system. Personnel are advised to quickly secure an oxygen mask and tank from the wall at the first sign of smoke or fire to prevent asphyxiation as this procedure cannot be halted until all fires are suppressed. Description SCP-085 is the result of an experiment conducted between SCP-067 and SCP-914. Using SCP-067, test subject 1101F drew a single female figure about 15 centimeters or 6 inches in height and 3.8 centimeters or 1.5 inches wide. In summer dress with long hair pulled back into a ponytail with the name Cassandra written underneath. Doctor expunged proposed using SCP-914 on various settings on images created by SCP-067. Using the fine setting, the Cassandra sketch was transmuted into her present form. A sentient black and white animated young woman drawn in clean strokes. Further attempts to duplicate this result have been unsuccessful. SCP-085 prefers to be called Cassie. She is completely sentient and as aware of her 2D form and her limitations in a three-dimensional world. Although her voice is inaudible, she has learned to communicate with SCP Foundation personnel through sign language and writing. SCP-085 may be communicated with by writing text on the paper she exists on. Personnel report that she is amicable and motivated, albeit lonely. SCP-085 can interact with any drawn object on the same page as if it were real. For example, she is able to wear drawn clothing, drive sketched cars, and drink painted beverages. Except for animals and people, any drawn object becomes animated when in contact with SCP-085, but immediately ceases and holds position once out of contact. Artwork initially depicted as in motion, such as ocean waves and swaying trees, animate to an equilibrium state and stay at rest until acted upon by SCP-085. SCP-085 has also demonstrated the ability to transfer from one sheet or image to another, as long as the two are flush. In the event SCP-085 enters a picture that does not support drawn objects, such as a repeating pattern, the picture is converted to a background image. SCP-085 perceives the picture as an endless plane of the image drawn upon it. At the present time, SCP-085 can only exist upon paper or canvas surfaces. SCP-085 cannot transfer onto photos, cardboard, glass, or parchment. When entering other pieces of art, SCP-085 takes on the artistic style of her new environment, whether it be a comic book, an oil painting, watercolour, or charcoal sketching. Note, in comic form, her voice is visible as thought and voice bubbles around her head in typical comic fashion, and as she moves between panels the perspective and her relative size are altered appropriately. Document 085-1 Introduction to several prints authored by MC Escher Researcher Cassandra, this is known as ascending and descending. What do you think? At this point, SCP-085 walks a few times around the staircase. SCP-085, it's pretty I guess, would make a neat exercise track. Researcher, you see nothing inconsistent with the staircase. SCP-085? No, as far as I can tell it just loops around down and up all the time. I don't more staircases do that. It's pretty neat. After this session, SCP-085 requested several impossible objects in her own environment. These requests are pending 05 review. Document 085-2 Incident 085-A Prior to SCP-085 was unaware of its status as a two-dimensional object in a three-dimensional world. Prior security protocols required that SCP-085 be kept unaware of its true nature in order to prevent psychological distress. Discrepancies with the perceived real world were presented as dreams or nightmares and an effort was made to present SCP-085 with a scenario in which it was the last surviving human in a post-apocalyptic world, searching for survivors. The deception was quickly broken, following an incident where an SCP Foundation researcher accidentally brought a hard copy of SCP-085's Special Containment Procedures Report into the containment facility and allowed it to contact the artifact's current location. SCP-085 transferred onto the document before the researcher could remove it and was immediately made aware of its true nature. Because of the containment breach, several researchers advocated immediate destruction of the artifact. The decision was appealed to the 05 Council, which advocated for SCP-085's continued existence. Since the revelation of her true nature, observers have noted that SCP-085 has begun to show signs of clinical depression. Psychotherapy has been proposed, but the nature of the artifact's state of existence may make it difficult. Some success has been had by providing SCP-085 tangible means to distract herself from her condition. In addition to the aforementioned optical illusions, SCP-085 expressed particular interest in a set of technical drawings for a 1964 Ford Mustang convertible, transferring the parts one by one to a more naturalistic artwork than assembling the vehicle by hand over the period of a year, gasoline being provided through a Norman Rockwell print of a gas station attendant. Requests for further diversions of this nature are pending 05-level review and approval. Item Number SCP-095 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-095 is to be placed in a standard polyethylene sleeve when not under scheduled research and stored in a standard locked filing cabinet to prevent damage or wear. High-resolution digital scans are available for any level 1 and above personnel who wish to view SCP-095. Description SCP-095 appears to be a set of three moderately aged black and white comic books, printed in 1932. The front and rear covers are missing, and several pages have been rendered illegible due to water damage. It was found by Agent White in a small antique shop in Denver, Colorado, and purchased for a small fee without incident. The owner of the shop had apparently not read the item past the publisher's date on the first page. Forensic inspections of SCP-095 have revealed it to be genuine, though completely unremarkable save for its content. It is printed on cheap pulp paper and inked with dyes common to other publications of its era. The publisher's stamp indicates it was produced by Future Funnies, a company operating out of the town of Purple Lake, Ohio. All research and inquiries thus far have shown both the company and the town to be completely non-existent. The comic itself is a pulp science fiction story, entitled The Atomic Adventures of Ronnie Reagan, featuring a lead character bearing an unmistakable resemblance to former United States President Ronald Reagan. Each story opens with a large panel reading, in the far-fetched future world of the 1980s, only Ronnie Reagan can save the day. It appears to follow an episodic format, with one self-contained story per publication. The three stories are briefly described below. Ronnie vs. Space Admiral Carter. This story pits planetary Governor Ronnie Reagan and his sidekick, Space Major Herbert, against the titular Space Admiral Carter, as they both vie for the position of Space Marshal. The events loosely follow the events of the 1980 presidential election. Space Assassin. This story follows a character named Spaceman Hinckley as he prepares to assassinate Space Marshal Reagan. He manages to catch Reagan by surprise and wound him with his Devastator Ray, before being subdued by Reagan's soldiers. The events obviously refer to the 1981 assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr. Jungle Planet. This story follows Reagan's attempts to create an army of robots on the jungle-covered planet of Nika in order to protect it from the evil sand bandits. Although Reagan is told that he will lose his command if he interferes with events on planet Nika, he sends his lieutenant, Space Colonel West, to secretly build a force under the cover of the jungle. When their plan is discovered, Space Colonel West publicly takes the blame and saves his superior. The storyline appears to be a simplified retelling of the Iran-Contra controversies of 1986. Possibly most interesting is the final page of each book, which advertises other stories published by Future Funnies. Investigation is underway to locate any surviving copies at once. The advertised stories are listed below. Space Major Herbert assumes command. Starman Willie vs. The Space Succubus. Globe Walker in Sneak Attack. Barry Beetlejuice on Planet Afgar. Diamond Donnie in Putting on the Ritz. Sky Marm Cera of the Ice World. Flying Franken vs. Rocket Rush. Star Command Proton in a Losing Battle. The New Menace. Death to Mankind. Personal Log of Dr. R- Date October 6th, 2004. I don't think I need to emphasize how important it is to recover any and all of the advertised stories immediately. The Final 2 in particular. Item Number SCP-151 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures. SCP-151 should be kept in a locked storage compartment covered by an opaque cloth. The keys to the compartment should be kept in the custody of the Site Commander when SCP-151 is not being researched. When research is being conducted, SCP-151 may be kept in a locked laboratory, provided it is always covered when not being used. Description. SCP-151 is a 1 meter by 1.3 meter or 3 foot by 4 foot oil painting, apparently from the perspective of someone underwater. A subject who views the painting exhibits no initial effects. However, over a period of 24 hours, the subject's breathing becomes increasingly labored, culminating in the death of the subject. Autopsies reveal that subjects' lungs have filled with seawater. Attempts to halt the drowning process by medical intervention have proven successful in prolonging the life of the subject, but have not stopped nor reversed the condition. The painting is not signed, but several names are written on the back. Addendum. SCP-151 was founded in Antique Shop in... after the Foundation began investigating a series of unexplained drowning deaths. As said location is landlocked, the Foundation dispatched a team of plainclothes agents after being informed of the nature of the water in the victim's lungs and that the victims had all been discovered on dry land. The agents discovered that the names written on the back belong to a group of artistically inclined students, all of whom disappeared during a study abroad program in... investigation into their fate is ongoing and may provide clues as to the nature and origin of SCP-151. Item number. SCP-175. Object Class. SAFE. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-175 is to be kept in a metal safe when not undergoing testing. The safe is to be secured in a storage room at site with other low maintenance SCPs. The room will be guarded by two security guards at all times in accordance with security protocol data expunged. Description. When not active, SCP-175 resembles a yellowed piece of parchment, slightly larger than a standard piece of paper. The edges are torn and it appears weathered in brittle. However, SCP-175 is actually quite supple and is indestructible despite its worn appearance, having resisted all attempts to remove pieces for testing. The more interesting properties of SCP-175 are revealed when moved in relative proximity to a buried object. The proximity range seems to vary under unknown parameters. SCP-175 has become active in distances from as short as 30 meters to as far as several kilometers. However, on average, the distance ranges between 100 and 200 meters. When SCP-175 becomes active, its appearance changes to become either a map, a set of directions to the buried object, or some hybrid thereof. Though the approximate size and shape of SCP-175 remains constant, its appearance may change to resemble various other paper and parchment varieties, and the writing or drawing, implement, and style vary as well, seemingly based on the mindset of the individual or individuals who buried the object. If the buried object is dug up, or the map is removed from the proximity of the object, SCP-175 reverts back to its normal state. Document number 175-08 Partial list of barriers, buried objects, and appearances of SCP-175. All experiments took place at Data Expunged, unless otherwise stated. Dr. Warrick buried a wooden box. SCP-175 became a piece of graph paper with a pencil-drawn map of the surrounding area, complete with a legend in the bottom left. The location of the treasure was clearly marked. Dr. Warrick remarked that the handwriting on SCP-175 looked identical to his own. The 5-year-old female child of said doctor was instructed to bury a wooden box with a couple of her toys in it. SCP-175 became a crayon-drawn map of the surrounding area, on a white piece of paper, clearly modeled on the style of a normal child of that age. The 10-year-old male child of aged 1 was instructed to bury a box containing some of his comic books. SCP-175 became a list of instructions on lined yellow paper, based on several landmarks in the area. Trees, rocks, etc. The instructions included where to start and how many paces to take to the next landmark, the direction to turn, and eventually where to dig. The instructions were complete with misspellings appropriate for the knowledge of a child of that age. A well-respected professional landscape artist was instructed to bury an empty wooden box. SCP-175 became a canvas with an accurately painted overhead view of the surrounding area with an X to mark the spot where the box was buried. A professional puzzle maker and crossword puzzle maker was instructed to bury a wooden box. SCP-175 became a piece of graph paper with several inked crossword and various other word puzzles, along with a metapuzzle. Solving the smaller puzzles was necessary to find the letters to solve the metapuzzle, which was a list of instructions for where to find the buried object. Agent A, who remembered a box with various objects that he had buried in his backyard at the age of eight, traveled with a research team to data-expunged. SCP-175 became a pencil-drawn map of the surrounding area, along with labels that did not match his current handwriting, but did match his handwriting from papers his parents had kept that he had done at that age. Most remarkably, the map included several trees that had been cut down in the years since the box was buried. A D-class personnel who had been a professional architect before his conviction as a serial killer was instructed to bury a wooden box. Data-expunged. During transport of SCP-175, along with numerous other safe SCPs to data-expunged, one of the guards in the truck reported a high-pitched wine coming from the crate containing SCP-175. As per protocol, the truck was stopped and evacuated and the nearest task force, Mobile Task Force Omega-7, Pandora's Box, was sent to investigate after being briefed on the contents of the crate. According to the debrief, they found a sheet of metal which was emitting the wine, and the sound increased in pitch and volume as they neared a specific location. Digging in this area uncovered SCP-175, at which point, the metal sheet reverted to the inactive state of SCP-175. Addendum 175-13 on a D-class personnel who had been a professional architect prior to his conviction as a serial killer was instructed to bury a wooden box. The intended purpose of this experiment was to see what SCP-175 would look like when buried by an architect. When Dr. White looked at SCP-175, once the box was buried, he immediately screamed, dropped to his knees, clutching his head with both hands, dropping SCP-175 to the ground, luckily face down. Agent White, who was standing by the side of said doctor during this experiment, reported a flickering mass of color and a sense of extreme nausea at a glimpse of SCP-175 before it drifted to the ground. He quickly dug up the box in order to reset SCP-175. Dr. White went into a coma after this incident. An intense psychological screening of the D-class subject revealed a well hidden schizophrenia and sociopathy. Since this experiment, strict protocol has been put in place to protect the mental health of researchers. Lesson complete.
