 Item Number SCP-005 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-005 poses no immediate risk in any direct sense. Even so, its unique functions require special measures be taken to restrict access and manipulation of the object. Approval of at least one Level 4 personnel is required for the removal of the object from its containment area. Description In appearance, SCP-005 resembles an ornate key, displaying the characteristics of a typical mass-produced key used in the 1920s. The key was discovered when a civilian used it to infiltrate a high-security facility. SCP-005 seems to have the unique ability to open any and all forms of lock, be they mechanical or digital, with relative ease. The origin of this ability is yet to be determined. Additional Notes SCP-005 may be used as a replacement for lost security passes, but only under the supervision of at least one Level 4 personnel. SCP-005 may not be used for vending machine repairs, opening lockers, or for any personnel's spare home key. Removal of the object from the compound will result in immediate termination. Appendix A While SCP-005 has been shown to be effective in removing almost any form of locking device, further experiments have shown that efforts to disguise the purpose or identity of a lock have proven at least somewhat successful in defeating SCP-005's ability. In approximately 50% of cases where a volunteer was not able to identify a locking device as such, SCP-005 was not successful in deactivating the device. Due to these results, SCP-005 has been tentatively classified as sentient, and further tests are being run to determine its cognitive abilities. However, there are no results that show any traits that prevent it from being able to identify any particular locking device, only that the aforementioned device has been heavily concealed and disguised. Item Number SCP-068 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-068 is to be kept away from any metals in an electrically resistant box, preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene, or Teflon, and rubber. Said box is to be stored in Security Locker 26 at Site-11. Key is kept with Dr. R- Any requests for testing are to be redirected to him. Description SCP-068 is a wire-stick figure, 9.8 cm tall, made of an unknown metal. The figure is composed of a single wire, looping back to the center. The wire itself appears to have been bent numerous times in multiple places. When an electric current is introduced to SCP-068, it becomes animate, moving about on its own. SCP-068's joints are where normal human beings would be. Once activated, SCP-068 begins to search for any metallic material. Once metal has been found, SCP-068 will begin to need it and pull a thin strip of metal off. SCP-068 will then construct another figure similar to itself. The newly created figure will begin to need the remaining metal alongside the original, creating new figures, which in turn, produce more replicas. SCP-068 will move on to its next stage after one of two requirements are met. The first is when there are no more metals in range with enough mass to produce another figure. The other is when an upper limit of 102 replicas are created. When either of these events occur, all figures will converge at one location and begin forming themselves into as big a figure as possible. With a maximum of 102 mini-figures, the resulting figure reaches 2 meters in height. SCP-068 situates itself in the intersection of the torso, arms, and head. Gamma, beta, and theta waves begin emanating from SCP-068 after this union. SCP-068 will then begin to search for metals again, attempting to create more figures, only scaled up to whatever size 068 is currently at. These replicas do not emanate brain waves like 068 does. If 068 is not at the maximum size limit after this, it will continue to create and add more figures to itself until the limit is reached. Once it has reached the second stage and there are no metals available from which to construct figures, SCP-068 returns to its dormant state after 4 minutes and 32 seconds of activity. Materials surrounding the original figure must be melted away in order to retrieve 068. SCP-068 is capable of needing and manipulating any metal presented to it, regardless of properties. It also appears to be impervious to any attempts to damage or destroy it. Copies of SCP-068, however, have the same properties and vulnerabilities as whatever metal they were constructed from. SCP-068 can detect metals hidden from view through an as of yet unknown process. While 068 will not attempt to reach metals that are too difficult to get to, it will tear through anything that is soft enough for its limbs to penetrate. What it considers soft enough changes depending on what 068 is shaped from at the time. Addendum 068-A. A proposal has been made to use SCP-068 to dispose of dangerous metal-based SCPs. Addendum 068-B. The proposal to use 068 for disposal of dangerous metal-based SCPs has been denied. Seeing as how many, if not all, of our dangerous metal-based SCPs are also invincible, the only thing we would have is a bunch of invulnerable wire figures running about. Honestly, who even thought this up? Dr. W- Item number SCP-078 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-078 is to be kept within a 10 meter by 10 meter reinforced concrete room that is to be guarded and remotely monitored at all times. This room must always be well stocked with non-perishable food and water, as well as basic amenities for humanoid SCPs. Security personnel assigned to SCP-078 are to carry sticky foam guns, in addition to standard armaments. Structural integrity of SCP-078's containment rooms to be checked twice daily. In case of excessive structural damage, SCP-078 is to be incapacitated and relocated to a nearby backup containment room, as described above. If a reinforced concrete room of sufficient strength is not available, SCP-078 may be temporarily contained in a cell of stronger material until another concrete room can be prepared. SCP-078 is to be given sedatives and painkillers on request, but no more than maximum dosages determined by Dr. Dumount. Personnel who enter SCP-078's containment room for any reason must be unarmed and should wear puncture resistant body armor. Armed guards must remain outside and out of sight of SCP-078. In case of containment breach due to some nambulism, security personnel are to alert site administration, place food and water in the apparent path of SCP-078 and maintain a clear zone of 25 meters around SCP-078. In any other case of containment breach or if SCP-078 becomes violent during some nambulism, personnel are authorized to incapacitate SCP-078 using sticky foam. Care must be taken to avoid smothering SCP-078. Because SCP-078 reflexively responds violently to injury or attack, security personnel should refrain from using lethal force or otherwise injuring SCP-078 if at all possible. Description SCP-078 appears to be a human male of Native American descent. With a normal appearance, save for a pair of rusty metal wings emerging from his back. Each wing is composed of several flat iron bars, about 6 centimeters wide connected end to end by rotating rivets to form an articulated length of metal over 2 meters long. Hanging from these bars are chains of various lengths, 22 on each wing, each tipped with a barbed arrowhead. SCP-078 appears to have no other anomalous properties besides these wings. The wings of SCP-078 appear to act independently of the person they are attached to and SCP-078 has stated repeatedly that it has no control over them. However, when damage has been done to the wings, SCP-078 has shown signs of physiological distress, including sweating, reduced blood flow to face, and screaming in pain. The wings have been observed to fold and expand, shoot out and whip its chains at high speed, both individually and collectively, and anchor its arrowheads into concrete, wood, and like materials. While SCP-078 has not displayed any overt hostility to personnel, it will often react violently to perceived threats by lashing its chains out at a silence and wrapping its chains around its body in a defensive posture. The most effective means of subdual has proven to be sticky foam, non-lethal weaponry, which can reliably ensnare SCP-078's chains from a safe distance. Despite their rusted appearance, the wings and chains of SCP-078 are as strong as high-quality alloy steel. However, they are also as dense as steel, and SCP-078 cannot move about as a normal human due to the weight of its wings. As yet, SCP-078 has been unable or unwilling to use its wings to facilitate human locomotion. SCP-078 spends much of its time anchored to the walls and ceiling of its containment cell, usually sedated. Addendum 070-1 Incident 070-1 On-screen At 336, SCP-078 breached containment. Security personnel were advised that SCP-078 appeared to be asleep and were ordered to not engage SCP-078 and to keep others away. By lashing and anchoring chains into the walls and ceiling in front of it, SCP-078 was able to carry itself, but was still apparently asleep through sight. SCP-078 broke into the food stores of canteen 4 and proceeded to gorge itself on the available food and water. Almost 19 minutes later, apparently sated, SCP-078 returned to its containment room. At no time did SCP-078 appear to wake up. SCP-078 claimed no knowledge of the event afterward. Addendum 070-2 Interviews have revealed that SCP-078 is named and is capable of reciting the correct social security number for a US citizen of the same name and age. SCP-078 claims to be a member of the Kiowa tribe and data expunged. SCP-078 claims to not know how the wings came to be, only remembering waking up in a scrapyard with them after taking a lot of peyote the night before. Item number SCP-073 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-073 is to be kept in a two-room cell furnished with all non-organic furniture and items and a bathroom. Subject is allowed to freely wander the facility and eat in the main canteen. A tracking device has been attached to SCP-073's person and is not to be removed. Subject is disallowed any contact with the surface and is not allowed outside the facility. Subject is allowed no contact with plant-based SCPs under any circumstances. Violence is not to be used against SCP-073 under any circumstances. SCP-073 is currently kept in Site-17. Description SCP-073 appears to be a heavily tanned male of Arabic or Middle Eastern descent in his early 30s, 185 cm or 6 feet and 1 inches tall and 75 kg or 165 lbs with black hair and blue eyes. Arms, legs, spinal cord and shoulder blades of the subject appear to have been replaced with artificial versions of unknown make and metal. Subject only takes notice of this when it is pointed out and states that it has no knowledge of how, why or when these replacements took place stating it had them as long as it could remember. There is a symbol engraved into the forehead of the subject which appears to be of Sumerian origin. Symbol has as of yet been untranslated and subject appears distressed when the symbol is mentioned at all refusing to speak on it. Subject does not need to eat and drink on a regular basis but is strictly carnivorous owing to its effect on plant-based items. SCP-073, who refers to itself as cane is generally polite and genial to all who speak to it though it has been described as being cold and somewhat mechanical in its speech. It is very helpful and enjoys aiding personnel in their daily actions, whatever they may be. It has highly detailed knowledge of ancient to recent events in history and most commonly spoken languages in the world including ones that have since died out. Subject has professed to having a photographic memory remembering word for word all text in an 800 page dictionary that was flicked through in a minute and a half. It has scored above average in all intelligence tests given to it. SCP-073's presence is inimical to any in all life grown in soil causing death to any such life within a 20 meter radius. Any land SCP-073 has walked on and any within the 20 meter radius becomes barren as all anaerobic bacteria dies rendering the soil incapable of supporting life until new bacteria are introduced. Anything that is derived from soil grown life such as wood and paper immediately rots and disintegrates upon touch of SCP-073. Further affected derivatives include anything hydroponically grown. Violence directed towards SCP-073 reflects any damage inflicted on SCP-073 directly back onto the attacker although SCP-073 visibly remains unharmed. This applies to any damage directed at SCP-073. Attempts to get tissue and blood samples have proven futile. When the procedure was initiated personnel carrying out the action felt the sensation of whatever was applied to SCP-073 and wound up with a sample of their own blood or tissue. Despite the fact that all actions were directed solely at SCP-073 indirect damage through a medium also results in the person perpetrating the action receiving the wounds caused. Although SCP-073 receives no actual harm from damage to its person, it has stated that it still feels the pain of the action and has politely asked researchers to abstain from overly harmful actions to its person. Additional Notes SCP-073 was found in the New York Police Department in 19... in after a subject had been found amidst the bodies of several violent gang members. SCP-073 told police members that the gang had attempted to make sport of it but became angry and attempted to kill SCP-073 resulting in their own demise. SCP-073 was incarcerated and was deemed a John Doe when NYPD could not find any information on it. SCP-073 came to the attention of the Foundation through a routine inspection of John Doe's and was subsequently released into our custody. Addendum 073-1 In light of SCP-073's indestructible nature, photographic memory, and general will to please High Command have deemed that all information is to be backed up on SCP-073 ensuring it is not lost in the event of a catastrophe. While this action has met with mixed responses SCP-073 has agreed and sworn itself to secrecy on its part. Addendum 073-2 When information concerning SCP-076 was brought to the attention of SCP-073 for backing up, subjects showed familiarity with the information although was disinclined to adding to it despite the fact that it stated that it already knew all about SCP-076. It then stated it would be better for all parties involved that it not meet SCP-076. Addendum 073-3 Examination of the unidentified metal on SCP-073 has suggested that it is beryllium bronze, a metal that has been documented as being utilized by various anomalous cultures and entities. Most notably, beryllium bronze is a component found in SCP-1216, SCP-1427, SCP-2481, and SCP-2711. In light of this discovery, the Foundation began working in an attempt to trace the origin of beryllium bronze and how it initially spread throughout the world. When prompted, SCP-073 was able to provide information that suggests that beryllium bronze originated in the Middle East though the exact point of origin has yet to be determined. Further research into the origin of beryllium bronze is currently ongoing. Item Number SCP-100 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-100 is to have six guards patrolling the interior of the perimeter's fencing and two guards dedicated to the monitoring of the interior and exterior of both warehouses and the residential building with rotations to occur every three hours. Any unauthorized personnel found within SCP-100 are to be detained for questioning prior to amnestic administration and release. Three guards are to remain within the storefront of SCP-100 with rotations to occur every eight hours. The storefront front entrance is to remain locked at all times with keys provided to necessary personnel. Private property and no trespassing signs are to be posted on the front of the storefront to deter any drivers from stopping at SCP-100. Any constructs SCP-101 creates are to be removed from SCP-100 and melted down into slag with the exception of SCP-102A and SCP-102B. Should SCP-101 become uncooperative, SCP-102A and SCP-102B may be removed from SCP-100 until the time that SCP-101 becomes cooperative again. The largest of the two warehouses within SCP-100 has been converted into a basic research facility. All objects created by SCP-101, excluding SCP-102A and SCP-102B, may be used for research purposes. Testing on SCP-101 itself may only be conducted with written permission from the Acting Head Researcher. Description. SCP-100 is an abandoned scrapyard, 80 km from F***ing, South Carolina, known as Jamaican Joe's Junkyard Jubilee. The scrapyard covers roughly 5,000 sq.m. of fenced-off land, consisting of two warehouses, a storefront, and a small residential building, as well as neglected land and land used for storage. SCP-100 holds roughly 1,500 vehicles, both pressed and un-pressed, as well as roughly 1,400 kg of separate scrap, estimated to be worth $5,000 or 3,870 euros. SCP-100's anomalous effect manifests through SCP-101 and its constructs, including SCP-102A and SCP-102B. Autonomy is lost when SCP-101 or one of its objects cross the fenced perimeter of SCP-100, remaining in this state until reintroduction. SCP-101 is an autonomous, sapient, humanoid construct, consisting mostly of copper piping, uninsulated copper wiring, and aluminum cans. SCP-101 lacks the ability for written or verbal communication. However, it possesses the ability to communicate using rudimentary sign language. SCP-101 is largely uninterested in conversation outside of sales, and information gathered from it has been limited. SCP-101 appears to possess skill and craftsmanship, demonstrating the ability to operate tools such as arc welders, drills, and power saws, as well as heavy machinery such as car compressors and forklifts. SCP-101 possesses the ability to create autonomous constructs similar to itself, using material available within SCP-100. SCP-101 tends to create four specific animals, iguanas, crocodiles, turtles, and flamingos. However, SCP-101 has been known to craft other species, such as domestic pets. To maintain compliance, SCP-101 has been allowed to keep two objects, labeled SCP-102A and SCP-102B. SCP-102A and SCP-102B are constructs superficially resembling insects, assumed to be created by SCP-100, as they have occupied SCP-100 since the initial discovery of SCP-100. The names Ramon and Beatrice are welded into the backs of SCP-102A and SCP-102B, respectively. They appear to operate as both companions as well as guards for SCP-100, as they patrol the perimeter of SCP-100 except during intervals of interaction with SCP-101. SCP-101 appears to follow a ritualistic schedule, repeating the same actions daily. From 0800 to 1500 hours, SCP-101 enters the storefront of SCP-100, seating itself behind a counter and attempting to bargain with any humans within the storefront. Occasionally, SCP-101 will return to the yard prematurely for reasons unknown. From 1500 to 1600 hours, SCP-101 interacts with SCP-102A and SCP-102B, communicating using vague hand and arm gestures. Interaction tends to consist of grooming, repair and activities resembling fetch and hide-and-seek. From 1600 to 2100 hours, SCP-101 performs various tasks, including taking stock of material within SCP-100, cleaning and maintaining tools and heavy machinery and cleaning the interiors and exteriors of buildings present within SCP-100. From 2100 hours to 0100 hours, SCP-101 performs what is assumed to be leisurely acts, ranging from creating new constructs, interacting with SCP-102A and SCP-102B and patrolling SCP-100. From 0100 hours to 0800, SCP-101 enters the residential building where it remains seated at a desk for the duration of this time. In the event that a human enters the storefront of SCP-100 during the interval of time SCP-101 is seated behind the counter, SCP-101 will attempt to bargain with them, using a variety of gestures to convey meaning. Most attempts by SCP-101 are to sell scrap, figures of its own creation, or repair services. However, it has been known to purchase scrap. Despite SCP-101's inability to read, it possesses the ability to perform basic mathematics, as demonstrated by sales. Sales made by SCP-101 are typically met with some degree of unfairness. SCP-101 has been known to intentionally use faulty scales and contaminate scrap piles with cheaper metals, and has demonstrated knowledge of the area of effect within SCP-100, as SCP-101 has sold constructs repeatedly, despite the loss of autonomy when exiting SCP-100. Efforts to confront SCP-101 about this have been met with both distress and indifference, a referral to a sign posted on the wall reading, No refunds, man, happening regardless of SCP-101's emotional response. SCP-101 was discovered on 1109-76, following reports of strange machines operating from within the scrapyard. These rumors were discredited as urban legends, and a Foundation agent was sent to SCP-100 to act as the landowner until containment was performed under the guise of property sale. The privacy fence was built along the former perimeter of SCP-100. One-way windows were installed in the storefront, and a highway, now running through the nearby town of redirects the majority of civilian traffic. Addendum 100A Records show the property is owned by one Joseph DeVall, with the mailing address sharing the same name. Local utility companies report billing had stopped approximately three months before the discovery of SCP-100, which was found abandoned, saved for SCP-101, SCP-102A, SCP-102B, and several avian and canine figures, presumed to be made by SCP-101. The initial sweep of the buildings revealed the residential building to be mostly bare, with the only sign of former occupants being a note found taped to the door of the storefront. Incident 100A On 060305, SCP-101 created a humanoid, autonomous construct, 10 cm in height, the first time SCP-101 has done so. Significant effort was put into this construct compared to others, with greater detail applied to the construct, including facial features, and JJ welded into the back of the construct, in stainless steel making up the majority of the construct. SCP-101 placed the construct on the counter of the storefront for the duration of the scheduled interval, both using vague gestures to seemingly communicate with one another. Following the confiscation of this construct, SCP-101 remained seated within the residential building of SCP-100, for a total of 10 days. Document 100A The following is a copy of the note recovered upon discovery of SCP-100. Out to lunch, please see assistant. JJ Item number SCP-146 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Containment procedures have been revised after it was noted that the effects of SCP-146 were sharply and dangerously increased under previous containment, a standard one-half, 0.5 m³ secure storage bin. The bin should remain free however, should a researcher wish to test SCP-146 at high intensity. Level 3 clearance is required for any personnel wishing to enclose or cover SCP-146 for a period exceeding 2 days. During normal storage, SCP-146 is to be kept on a marble pedestal in its storage room located data-expunged. SCP-146's standard storage room measures no less than 20 sq m, with stuccoed walls and a ceiling painted to resemble a clear daytime sky. The room is to be kept well-lit, full daylight equivalent at all times, furnished with an assortment of potted plants which must be tended to daily, and decorated in the style of the late Republican period of Rome, circa 120-80 BCE. Experimentation with different interior styles has shown that SCP-146 seems to prefer this arrangement and to have aesthetic preferences consistent with the aristocracy of Rome from that era. While this containment is standard, researchers with clearance level 2 or higher may experiment with different containment settings in order to modify the effects of SCP-146. While SCP-146 is non-motile and therefore requires little security itself, personnel entering its containment area or handling it in any way must not make eye contact with SCP-146. Any attempts to cover SCP-146 in order to prevent eye contact is prohibited, as this has been shown to increase SCP-146 effect at an unpredictable rate. In general, one day of covering or confinement will cause SCP-146 to skip over the beginning phase of its effect and begin with the most traumatic memories. After three days, SCP-146 has been shown to produce its effect without having to make direct eye contact first. After seven days, the effect of SCP-146 is both far more intense and no longer confined to subjects within SCP-146's field of vision. Researchers in an adjacent room were affected and one was permanently... Permission to experiment beyond seven days is denied by order of 05- Blinders and decorative screens are available for personnel who must enter SCP-146's containment area for maintenance. Description SCP-146 is a hollow bronze head apparently a fragment of a complete statue or bust depicting a crowned young woman or perhaps an effeminate young man. The head exhibits severe vertebrates over much of its surface. The crown of SCP-146 is enlaid with silver decorations and its eyes. The apparent source of SCP-146's effects are beaten silver, shined to be mildly reflective. To date, SCP-146 has not exhibited any signs of movement but its reaction to certain decor in its containment area indicates that it may possess a degree of sentience if not outright sapience. If SCP-146 is able to communicate it is not yet done so. SCP-146 exhibits the ability to access and bring to mind certain memories in those who initiate eye contact. These memories are usually tied to a sense of guilt or shame in the subject. After initial eye contact is made the subject need only remains somewhere in SCP-146's field of vision for the memories and associated feelings to become more intense although continual eye contact speeds the process. Upon initial eye contact with SCP-146 recent memories will begin to surface in the subject. For example, subjects who have ignored a friend in the hall or exceeded the speed limit will be reminded of these events and begin to feel mildly guilty whether or not they would normally care about the event. With continued exposure to the gaze of SCP-146 the subject will begin to recall older and more vivid memories with a corresponding increase in feelings of shame in the subject. Generally, after 30 minutes of exposure the memories will move from being vivid recollections to intense hallucinations with the subject unable to distinguish the past from the present or the imagined from the real. Subjects have been observed to regress in personality as well particularly in cases where the memories of childhood trauma have been brought up. Any test subjects exposed for over 30 minutes should be restrained both for their own safety and the safety of others. All subjects to date who have been exposed to SCP-146 for 60 minutes have completely retreated into their hallucinations. So far, no such subject has been restored to consciousness from this near catatonic state. Such subjects must be fed intravenously and are unresponsive to external stimuli save for occasional murmurings consistent with their regression. It has also been noted that when subjects recall a shameful event they will often feel compelled to make amends for their actions. This is not generally a problem in the case of minor offenses and has in some cases led to greater unity among the staff. However, problems arise when the subject cannot make amends either because the offended party cannot be contacted or because the transgression is somehow irredeemable. Sometimes, the subject will put forth renewed positive efforts in order to balance out their guilt. However, in most such cases, subjects fall into a deep depression and or turn to some form of self-punishment including self-mutilation and suicide. SCP-146 was acquired from a Mr. W... of Birmingham, UK. He had acquired SCP-146 during the estate sale of a renowned philanthropist, Lord W... It was purchased in a lot with a number of other artifacts. When its new owner began to experience SCP-146's effects he began seeing a psychiatrist, undercover agent UA-33-56G. The man was put into an institution and SCP-146 was taken into Foundation custody. Experiment log 146-01 In order to calibrate a baseline for SCP-146's effects a standard 4 meter by 4 meter interrogation room was divided in half by an opaque curtain. SCP-146 was placed on a table inside a protective plexiglass case in one half of the room. On the other side of the curtain, subject D-044-323 was restrained such that he was looking directly at SCP-146's position. Researchers maintained constant communication with the subject via intercom throughout the testing process. The curtain was dropped, causing the subject to look squarely into the eyes of SCP-146. The subject voiced immediate discomfort and closed his eyes with an increase in heart rate of 15 BPM. With prompting, the subject related the memories he was recalling beginning with minor breaches of behavior protocol. The subject then recalled several altercations with other prisoners. Before his being taken by the Foundation including a particularly graphic description of data expunged. Researchers noted that as time went on the subject became more cooperative and his speech patterns changed resembling someone undergoing therapeutic hypnosis. After 15 minutes the subject's speech had become slurred and his EEG patterns showed similarities to someone experiencing vivid dreams. The subject entered into one half of a dialogue which culminated in his trying to break his restraints. After several minutes the subject ceased thrashing and began to cry. The subject started begging apparently to someone in his hallucination. Stop. Take it back. Don't. I won't do it again. I'm sorry. I don't want to. Not again. Stop. Please. This behavior continued until after 54 minutes of exposure to SCP-146 the subject's vocalizations halted and his EEG showed signs consistent with coma. After an additional hour no further effects were observed and the subject was removed and euthanized. Note, at this point SCP-146 was being kept along with the other artifacts purchased at auction because it was not yet known that the effect was confined to SCP-146 alone. I theorize that this containment approximated favorable containment and therefore kept SCP-146's effect at its base strength. Professor Scali Experiment log 146-04 The first experiment conducted after it was determined that SCP-146 consisted only of the bronze head took place after SCP-146 had been moved to a standard one half meter cubed storage bin where it had remained for two days. Subject D-044784 and SCP-146 were placed on opposite sides of a curtain in a standard interrogation room as in previous experiments. The subject was restrained as in previous experiments. When the curtain was dropped the subject reported an immediate headache and began to cry. The subject's heart rate jumped to 180 BPM but then dropped rapidly to 40 BPM and the subject lost consciousness. Medical personnel entered the room began examining the subject at which time the subject regained consciousness her heart rate spiking to 175 BPM. The subject struggled violently against her restraints and was soon able to break the restraint on her right arm severely damaging her own arm and hand in the process. Paramedic D was injured as the subject struck him in order to gain access to his first aid kit. The subject was able to grab a small scalpel and jam it into her own neck as the guards could regain control. Medical staff administered first aid but the subject died during emergency surgery due to blood loss. Note, after several similar incidents it was determined that SCP-146's ability was affected by its containment. Anyone wishing to do further research must take this into account as even brief accidental exposure could prove harmful. Professor Scali Item number SCP-148 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Revision 3 SCP-148 is to be stored as 120 cast ingots each of which weighs approximately 10 kilograms at time of writing. Ingots of SCP-148 may not be housed at the same site as any SCP due to the potential for unforeseen interactions. Otherwise, said ingots should be distributed equally among acceptable foundation facilities. The mass of each contained ingot of SCP-148 must be measured and reported monthly. Under no circumstances should any SCP with mind-affecting or extrasensory properties come into contact with SCP-148. In the event of such contact the immediate area must be evacuated and the affected sample of SCP-148 detonated remotely. Personnel are not to be assigned to SCP-148 for a period of time longer than three weeks. Any personnel assigned to SCP-148 are to be given regular psychological evaluations. Description SCP-148 is a metallic substance composed of a variety of known and unknown elements. The total mass of SCP-148 on hand is approximately 1.2 tons. SCP-148 has a gray-green color with a bluish tinge and oxidizes readily in the presence of water. SCP-148 has a melting transition point of approximately 4,500 degrees Celsius and a boiling transition point of approximately 9,000 degrees Celsius. SCP-148 has a density of 6.76 grams by cubic centimeters and qualifies as HRC-39 in a Rockwell Hardness Test. It exhibits material properties such as strength, ductility, and workability similar to platinum. SCP-148 is composed primarily of platinum and iridium the two composing 62% and 20% of its mass respectively. In addition several other known metals are present in its composition including iron, cobalt, and copper which collectively makes up 16.5% of SCP-148's mass. However given the mass of the material it is believed that there are other substances not detectable by mass spectrometry or other means. Images of SCP-148 taken with a scanning tunneling microscope show gaps in its lattice that under normal circumstances would be filled with other materials. SCP-148 blocks or otherwise hinders extrasensory mind affecting properties of living organisms in proximity to it. This effect while difficult to quantify appears inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the subject to SCP-148's surface and directly proportional to the quantity of SCP-148 in consideration. The range for which this effect is detectable is roughly 0.8 meters per kilogram of SCP-148. 1.1 tons of SCP-148 were retrieved from the metallurgical department of Prometheus Labs's base facility during the foundation sweep of the building. Documents concerned with the project had unveiled that the substance was to be subject to additional development sold to an undisclosed buyer trademarked and sold as telekill alloy. However, due to its political fallout along with the destruction of the Prometheus Labs's base facility it has acquired an estimated 1.3 tons of SCP-148 and sold it to unknown buyers. Foundation agents and forensic accountants are in the process of tracking the remaining supplies of SCP-148. Addendum 148-01 Due to its potential for use in containment of mind affecting SCPs SCP-148 has been approved for cross testing with SCP objects. While tests are still in their early stages tests with low level anomalous items seem to indicate that SCP-148 will be an effective tool in containing said items. However, it does not appear to affect items whose notable properties are purely memetic. Note as of Incident 148-1 contact between SCP-148 and any mind affecting items is strictly forbidden. Addendum 148-02 Beginning staff reported irrational behavior or communication skills among janitorial staff tasked with regular maintenance of SCP-148's containment. At the time, containment consisted of a single storeroom swept and checked on a daily basis. After three weeks of increasingly abnormal behavior two custodians were taken in for questioning and examination. Testing revealed that the aforementioned personnel were incapable of interpreting body language and did not appear to notice the intonation or phrasing of sentences. In addition, the affected subjects were incapable of determining the emotional state or intent of others and demonstrated severely limited vocabulary. Further testing has revealed that the language and communication skills of persons with regular contact or extended exposure to SCP-148 will over time deteriorate and disappear. It has been shown that after eight weeks affected subjects will be rendered completely mute and incapable of understanding or giving non-verbal requests commands or other statements despite showing otherwise normal mental capacity. Addendum 148-03 A measurement taken several months after the Foundation's acquisition of SCP-148 indicated that despite no increase in volume SCP-148 has increased in mass by 0.1 tons. A density increase of 9%. The source of this additional mass is unknown. Incident Report 148-1 To test the limits of SCP-148's effects and its capacity to change in mass, 0.9 kilograms of it was placed on a scale and moved to SCP-148's chamber. Predictably SCP-148's effect was nullified by SCP-148's presence. However the sample of SCP-148 began to grow in mass by upwards of 5 grams per second. After one minute this rate began to decrease and SCP-148 ceased to increase in mass 40 seconds later at which point it weighed 1.4 kilograms. It remained at this mass for 8 seconds before plummeting to 0.8 kilograms in the space of 2 seconds. During this time personnel within 60 meters, 12 times the effective range of SCP-148 began to experience said SCP's effects. Albeit at a vastly increased rate resulting in data expunged lockdown until the affected subjects could be removed. Addendum 148-04 Measurements taken since Incident 148-1 indicate that the combined mass of SCP-148 is increasing at a rate of 1. It is speculated that should a large quantity of SCP-148 undergo an event similar to the sample used in Experiment 148-1 data expunged. Containment procedures are under review. Item Number SCP-184 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-184 is not to be contained in any structure. SCP-184 is to be attached to a high-power electromagnet at all times. Should the electromagnet fail agents are to report to SCP-184's containment area and prevent access to all unauthorized personnel until the electromagnet is restored to power. The containment area for SCP-184 is currently configured to resemble a park with SCP-184 and its containment magnet disguised as statuary. Any and all visitors are to be monitored. Any structures affected by SCP-184 are to be demolished after review by data expunged. Final demolition approval or inclusion into SCP will also be determined by this body. No investigation is to be done into affected structures without approval and a rescue team on standby. Description SCP-184 is a small, smooth metallic object 10 cm or 4 inches tall and 10 cm or 4 inches wide in the shape of a dodecahedron. Each face of the figure has a circular hole in the center and a small sphere is attached to each vertex. SCP-184 is made of an unknown but highly magnetic alloy about as hard as brass. When inside an enclosed structure SCP-184 expands the structure's inner dimensions without altering its outer dimensions. SCP-184 will increase the inner dimensions of any enclosed structure by several hundred meters each day beginning one hour after entry into the structure. Initially, SCP-184 only extends the walls out causing rooms to become much larger without adjusting the height of the room. This expansion continues until the original dimensions of the room have been tripled. At this point, SCP-184 starts creating wholly new rooms. SCP-184 is apparently able to copy items from inside the structure creating furnished rooms consistent with the rest of the structure. After a period of time, however the expansion process appears to break down. For example, items will be made from inappropriate materials. Glass books, a wooden microwave rooms will be oddly shaped doors will open into blank walls and hallways will be tiny or twist back around in long mazes. The new inside structures continue to be more and more odd while the outside remains unchanged. This behavior is most dramatically illustrated in Holmes. However, it has been observed in other instances including a cardboard box. The changes do not go away with the removal of SCP-184 but no additional structures are created. Addendum 184-1 Notes from Dr. I don't think I need to stress the fact that this thing can never be allowed into Site-19. We may need to look into different containment at some point but for the time being we will keep it in the open, immovable and hidden. Addendum 184-2 Locations of Interest It is currently hypothesized that SCP-184 or an anomaly with a similar effect may be responsible for the creation of locations of interest such as Backdoor Soho and Chugoku Cellar. Investigation into SCP-184 as a potential origin for these spaces is ongoing. Addendum 184-38 R.B. Notes on Recovery SCP-184 was recovered in the Kowloon Wald City in June of reports of the city's bizarre and explosive growth attracted operatives who soon learned of SCP-184 held in the possession of data expunged. After several police crackdowns Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 was dispatched and recovered SCP-184 with minimal losses. The final effect of exposure to SCP-184 on both the city and inhabitants may never be fully understood due to the reckless actions of local law enforcement which destroyed several affected sections of the city before operatives could take action to prevent it. Interviews with residents yielded minimal information with a communal wall of silence being the major response. A few documents indicated that SCP-184 could be brought into a home and allowed to affect the dwelling for 50 pounds sterling per half hour. These documents were unconfirmed by residents. Addendum 184-38-RB-S Additional documentation Personal log of Gordon Richards Member of Mobile Team Zeta-9 The Mole Rats Date June 3rd Dispatched to the Kowloon Wald City to recover an object and document anything affected by it I've never seen such a horrible place The filth is everywhere whole walls and even structures made of garbage If you crank your suit for even a second you get flooded by the smell of smoke cooking, sweat machine oil, and excrement Henry fell into a pit used as a sewer on the ground level after breaking through a trash walkway He was fine The suit was just filthy but he threw up and had to be removed I'm not sure if he's going to work out Everyone here avoids us like the plague or darts out to throw trash or insults They are a tribe and a territorial one at that The sheer crush of humanity is intimidating and I'm glad I have the suit between me and them The object is supposed to be somewhere in the core of this mass but getting there is going to be tricky Date June 4th Local law enforcement led by agents did a bunch of raids last night cleared people out of some of the areas we need to go in but there are so many people here it's hard to notice any difference Yesterday's recon helped uncover a couple homes affected by this thing They don't look like much the same squalid homes as everyone else but they are too big inside It's an odd feeling standing with your hand on the wall and knowing that by all rights you should be six feet outside the structure in midair Henry is better today but seems really jumpy Lev took him aside and talked to him last night and I hope it's helped I'm getting worried about him Caught him muttering to himself over the radio today Told him to knock it off but didn't report it Maybe I should have I think I'm going to ask for him to be put on a different unit after this Deep Recon this evening We're splitting up to try and hunt down where they're storing this thing Lev and I pulled the short stick and have to hike it around the sewer system Honestly it can't be any worse than topside at least I won't have to keep seeing the blank empty faces of these people date June 6th Henry is dead We didn't get back until early this morning We'd been off the radio for several hours because of all the interference It seems areas affected by this thing screw with radio waves pretty bad The sewer was a nightmare but no sign of alteration by the item When we came back up Paul gave me the news Henry and Paul were exploring near the center of the city when they got attacked A mob of people swarmed them and dragged Henry off Paul was hurt and his suit was badly damaged and he had to leave for medical attention Henry was screaming over the radio for a while and then it cut off Paul and a couple other mole rats charged in with some agents to recover Henry but after a few minutes Henry came back on the radio His receiver was broken but he could still broadcast One of the agents was recording and he played it back to Leveni to see if any of it made sense to us It didn't, he was rambling and sounded like he was hurt kept talking about the endless heart of the city the hell of glass just crazy stuff Paul and the rescue team kept trying to find him but suddenly his radio cut out again Henry came tearing down one of those tiny halls Helmet off and screaming like a madman He ran right by Paul and smashed an agent into a wall on his way by He slammed into a dead end and just exploded through it right out of the building He fell six stories onto some metal junk It took an hour to get his body untangled We're done screwing around here Agent Park's Leveni are rounding up what amounts to the city elders and we're getting to the damn bottom of this Date June 7th Interrogation went well Agent Park's asked the questions We provided what he called negative consequences for non-cooperation The first guy some triad punk didn't want to talk two broken legs later and he was a lot more open said the thing was called the builder and nobody knew when it first came to the city He never had anything to do with it just helped stand guard outside rooms where it was working He said that was all he knew and that we had to talk to one of the elders Long Wen, if we wanted it He apologized for Henry's death said it was just a way of things I broke his jaw in three places Long Wen may be the oldest looking man I've ever seen and with a will like iron He just took everything we dished out and didn't say a word Park said that the next stop was his wife and grandkids and that got him talking told us it was kept in one of the oldest parts of the city some old temple it had grown and made wonderful things but only the worthy could look upon it and not be overwhelmed by it He said Henry was shown the wonders in the hopes that he would be able to convince us not to take the builder but that he was not worthy and was broken We made him show us where they keep it Long Wen said it wouldn't do any good that it was buried too deep They moved it deep inside when they first caught wind of the agents He said we'd never get it back We're doing deep work tomorrow and we're not coming out without it Date June 10th Been out for a while This place is amazing At first it was just a temple that was too big inside neat but nothing new Then we went in deeper whole rooms altars everything recreated and rearranged by this thing It's like someone built 12 whole temples inside this one tiny structure Agent Park set up a recall point in the main hall of some other agents to make sure nobody sneaks up on us We suited up and went to work It started getting odd after hour 6 lots of hallways not as many rooms then 83 rooms all connected by those sliding doors each with a tiny Buddha in the center of the floor and nothing else Lev grabbed a few for samples We knew these things were getting odd when we came to a perfect reproduction of the first altar room but appearing to be made of one solid mass of wood Thing was beautiful and totally seamless It was a tool mark on anything Paul found some documents and we scanned them back to Parks He said they were about the object Apparently they're calling it SCP-184 now Parks said it talks about how they moved 184 deeper each time it made a new area They thought it was some gift from God or something Used it to expand rooms if people would donate to the temple or at least to the gangs that controlled it at the time It's getting harder to maneuver The halls are starting to get strange They go up at funny angles and the last few rooms have been tiny By Lev's count we should be 20 feet above the roof of this whole city by now Date June 12th I'm getting sick of this place Came to a branch yesterday and to split the team I drew the up-hall way and set out for the long I've been climbing The halls aren't regular anymore They wave in and out like a frozen earthquake Everything seems to be made of stone here Managed to squeeze into a side room to catch my breath Once I looked around I saw everything was made of jade It was all colored right and had the right texture but it was jade Bed, chairs, table, books everything I got up and smashed the jade lamp that was probably worth more than my life and left I'm not feeling well I feel really disconnected here like an astronaut or something It's not like other areas I've been in Never felt so alone I'm fine, I know that It's Henry dying the whole rotten city outside that me being alone and able to think too much Rats are tested for mental stability and I pass with flying colors It's just my nerves I'm sitting on a chair made of thousands of tiny dragon statues writing on a table made of super dense paper and I am fine Date June I've been out too long food low, water low Not out yet but getting there hearing things keep thinking I hear voices waiting for days Saw light today at the end of a side hall bright yellow light I climbed into the hall and ran smashed through the door and it was a room Millions of candles all lit but just another room pulled off my helmet smashed the candles with it broke my lenses neck seal, radio back down the shaft today never heard it hit bottom almost jumped to go get it but stopped got to find this thing going to smash it to bits stomp it crush it date, June food out suit can't make anymore water saw a hall with 10,000 doors ran down it, smashed a bunch then kept climbing floor looked like carpet made of super sharp stone cut soup to ribbons feet too blood all over the shaft hope it appreciates it going to crush this thing feel it shatter in my hand hate this place keep hearing Henry keep telling him he's dead won't listen date, unknown top of shaft hall to forever lights everywhere going to kill the heart date, unknown hell is heaven heaven is hell life is wonderful notes Gordon Richards went missing during the recovery of SCP-184 presumed KIA SCP-184 recovered by team Zeta-9 journal recovered in rubble left from destruction of SCP-184 affected temple item number SCP-188 object class safe special containment procedures as SCP-188 poses no direct threat to any foundation assets SCP-188 is to be contained in storage unit J6-455 its presence is to be noted during the bi-weekly survey of site assets during this time any environmental effects exerted by SCP-188 are to be reversed description SCP-188 is a volume of iridium metal posting an effect that acts on a finite region around the object with the exception of the regional effect SCP-188 is chemically and physically an otherwise unremarkable sample of iridium metal SCP-188 has a mass of 181.43 grams and has been cast as a cylinder with a radius of 1 cm and a length of 2.56 cm SCP-188's current cylindrical shape is not its original form but one convenient for experimental manipulation and storage the regional effect of SCP-188 induces changes in the environment the changes take the form of discrete manipulations such as scratches on surfaces or grouping and shaping of ambient material such as dust these changes emerge over time and are widespread over the entire region of the effect the changes show a high degree of complexity in structure and have been seen to change with time further, the effect extends to all scales and has included exceptionally small and intricate structures when initially contained by the foundation SCP-188 consistently induced fractal motifs since containment this has increasingly shifted to include spiral and flow motifs biological forms have emerged as a rare but consistent theme as the environment around it is manipulated SCP-188's regional effect will extend outward testing has shown that this region will only extend outward to a volume encompassing an area of roughly 4,000 m2 attempts to nullify SCP-188's effect have included placement in a Faraday cage placement in a radiation containment device powdering and melting SCP-188 none of these attempts have diminished the regional effect in any way current proposals to vaporize SCP-188 and recondense small portions of the vapor are being explored SCP-188 first came to the attention of a predecessor body to the foundation in 1920 located at the rural Indiana properties of after a thorough search the object was found as a spike partially submerged in the ground it appeared to be in the process of reshaping the local wheat crop through braiding together and flattening of stalks no clear pattern had emerged at time of acquisition though the effect had begun to extend over many meters though records are incomplete it is known that efforts to contain the effect of the object embedding in bulk material such as concrete or lead did not diminish the initial size of the region the effect acted over further these attempts ended with the object carving apart the containment sheath the foundation is evidence that more esoteric proposals were suggested such as encasement and diamond no evidence exists that these technologically sophisticated and resource intensive proposals were followed up on when this parent organization was folded into the foundation the object in any existing records were inherited and placed under the SCP-188 classification when the crop circle fad emerged efforts were taken to determine if there was a connection between the crop circle makers and the effects caused by SCP-188 investigation showed no connection beyond the superficial and it is the opinion of the O5s that the similarity is a coincidence proposals to explore or to illustrate any statistical consistency in the effect SCP-188 has upon its environment are being accepted and evaluated at this time due to the lack of inherent danger posed by SCP-188 in its current containment proposals requiring extreme measures or contact with other SCPs are not encouraged by SCP orientation right now and make sure you don't miss any of our upcoming videos
