 Item No. SCP-300 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-300 is stored in a locked and climate-controlled container at site. Experimentation on SCP-300 may only be performed with prior written permission from at least one Level-3 senior researcher, and any observations made must be recorded for later analysis. Description SCP-300 consists of an antique glass perfume bottle, SCP-300-1, containing approximately 2.4 cubic centimeters of unidentified colorless liquid, SCP-300-2. When a single drop of SCP-300-2 is extracted from SCP-300-1 and the drop is viewed through a standard optical microscope, an animated scene becomes visible. While no two drops are shown precisely the same scene, these scenes generally take the form of pastoral or woodland scenes consistent with that of Victorian-era England. So far, attempts to analyze the exact chemical components of SCP-300-2 have inexplicably failed, with spectrometers reporting wildly variant or false data, thus making attempts of replicating it impossible. SCP-300-2 also invariably evaporates within two to eight hours of being drawn outside of SCP-300-1, despite all attempts at stabilizing the substance or controlling laboratory conditions. SCP-300 was first documented along with ██ after being recovered from the addict of a row home in ██, UK, on ██, 1863, following a raid by agents of the Royal Society for the Security, Containment, and Protection of Anomalous Artifacts. SCP-300 was transferred to SCP Foundation possession on ██, 19██, Addendum 300-1, Experiment Log, abridged, Date ██, Procedure ██, a single drop approximately 0.07CC of SCP-300-2 transferred to Microscope Slide. Video recorded for approximately three hours before SCP-300-2 evaporated harmlessly. Details Visible scene consists of a dirt road lined with trees of an unidentified species. Coloration of leaves suggested that the scene was taken place in autumn. A light breeze is blowing, causing some of the yellow leaves to fall to the ground. At approximately one hour, seven minutes and eighteen seconds, a horse drawn carriage with a driver and two passengers passes through the scene. Clothing worn by the individual seem to be consistent with that worn in Victorian-era England. No other significant events are recorded. Date ██, Procedure ██, a single drop approximately 0.08CC of SCP-300-2 transferred to Microscope Slide. Video record lasts approximately five hours. Visible scene consists of a rural farm. Size of wheat plants visible in scene indicate late summer time period. A family consisting of two adults and three children of varying age are periodically visible in various areas of the farm, performing chores. Clothing of family consistent with previously established time period. Date ██, Procedure ██, a single drop approximately 0.07CC of SCP-300-2 transferred to Microscope Slide. Video record lasts approximately two hours. Visible scene consists of the interior of a well-furnished residence. Within the visible area are a lit fireplace and several armchairs. Three well-dressed individuals, two men and one woman, are seen conversing while enjoying a bottle of what is presumably red wine. Lip-reading announces their conversation is incomplete, but fragments developed so far indicate a casual political discussion regarding issues appropriate for the year-18 ██, again in Victorian England. Date ██, Procedure ██, two drops approximately 0.15CC of SCP-300-2 transferred to Microscope Slide for experimentation. Video record lasts approximately three hours. Details Video record blurry and decipherable, although a few fragments of video have been analyzed, no useful information is gathered, further experimentation is to be limited to a single drop of SCP-300-2. Addendum 300-2, Incident 300-012 On ██, Dr ██ was found dead and Laboratory C would cause a death being self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Video surveillance showed Dr ██ obsessively viewing a recent recording from a SCP-300 experiment becoming increasingly agitated until he pulled out his sidearm and took his own life. Upon investigation, the recording was identified and analyzed as a three-hour-long recording made during an experiment on ██. The recording shows a young woman approximately ██ years of age, sitting in an arm chair and embroidering an article of clothing while singing to herself. Experimental investigation showed a startling resemblance between the woman and Dr ██ late wife, who died during ██, up to and including a bird mark visible on the left side of her neck. Experimentation on SCP-300 had been temporarily placed on hold pending research on the possible telepathic or memory-affecting capabilities.
