 Item Number – SCP-300 – Object Class – Safe Special Containment Procedures – SCP-300 is stored in a locked and climate-controlled container at Site B. 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-301, containing approximately 2.4 cubic centimeters of an unidentified colorless liquid, SCP-302. When a single drop of SCP-302 is extracted from SCP-301, and the drop is viewed through a standard optical microscope, an animated scene becomes visible. While no two drops have 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-302 have inexplicably failed, with spectrometers reporting wildly variant or false data, thus making attempts at replicating it impossible. SCP-302 also invariably evaporates within two to eight hours of being drawn outside of SCP-301, despite all attempts at stabilizing the substance or controlling laboratory conditions. SCP-300 was first documented after being recovered from the attic 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 10. Addendum 301. Experiment log. Abridged. Date. Undisclosed. Procedure. A single drop, approximately 0.07 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video recorded for approximately three hours before SCP-302 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 taking place in autumn. A light breeze is blowing, causing some of the yellowed leaves to fall to the ground. At approximately one hour, seven minutes and 18 seconds, a horse-drawn carriage with a driver and two passengers passes through the scene. Clothing worn by the individuals seemed to be consistent with that worn in Victorian era England. No other significant events are recorded. Date. Undisclosed. Procedure. A single drop, approximately 0.08 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video record lasts approximately five hours. Details. Visible scene consists of a rural farm. Size of wheat plants visible in scene indicate late summertime 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. Undisclosed. Procedure. A single drop, approximately 0.07 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide. Video record lasts approximately two hours. Details. 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 analysis of 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. Undisclosed. Procedure. Two drops, approximately 0.15 cubic centimeters of SCP-302 transferred to microscope slide for experimentation. Video record lasts approximately three hours. Details. Video record is blurry and indecipherable. 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-302. Addendum. 302. Incident. 312. On date undisclosed, Dr. was found dead in laboratory C, with cause of death being self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Laboratory video surveillance showed Dr. obsessively viewing a recent recording from an SCP-300 experiment and 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 date undisclosed. The recording shows a young woman of approximately years of age, sitting in an armchair and embroidering an article of clothing while singing to herself. Further investigation showed a startling resemblance between the woman and Dr. late wife who died during up to and including a birthmark visible on the left side of her neck. Experimentation on SCP-300 has been temporarily placed on hold, pending research into possible telepathic or memory-affecting capabilities. Addendum 303. Inscription. Located on back of SCP-300.
