 Item number SCP-413 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures All entrances to SCP-413 are to be sealed and put under armed guard. Under no circumstances are unauthorized persons allowed to enter SCP-413, with guards authorized to use lethal force. Any personnel entering SCP-413 for experiments are required to wear GPS trackers and safety lines at all times. Should containment be breached or by 05 Decree, containment protocol 413 must be immediately enacted by the highest-ranking personnel present. Description SCP-413 is a four-story parking garage, located in- Inside, SCP-413 has a variable environment that dynamically alters itself. In effect, SCP-413 is able to change its internal structure, such as moving ramps, adding floors, changing staircases, and so on. However, when observed from the outside, there is no indication of any of these changes taking place. While accurate measurement of SCP-413's interior has proven impossible, it is well established that the interior is larger than the building's external dimensions, and that the interior dimensions are constantly changing. Another effect SCP-413 appears to have is to interfere with an individual's sense of direction. Analysis of recordings taken of the interior reveal that SCP-413 generates a low-frequency sound within its interior that shuts down or interferes with several key regions of the human brain, controlling navigation, balance, and short-term memory. Extended exposure to this sound is known to cause several side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, vomiting, vertigo, anxiety, claustrophobia, and in some rare cases, data expunged. However, these effects will eventually wear off once the affected individual leaves SCP-413. Under no circumstances are personnel to enter SCP-413 without navigation aids and safety lines. Navigation within SCP-413 without the use of such equipment is nearly impossible, as the combination of the constantly shifting interior, as well as the disrupting sound frequency interfere too much with natural human navigation. SCP-413 was discovered when a security guard that worked at the site turned in security tapes of SCP-413 to the local police department, suspecting that they had been tampered with. The tapes were immediately confiscated, and the entire site was bought out by the Foundation. Addendum 1 After several incursions, it has been discovered that SCP-413 is in fact sapient. Though not evident at first, SCP-413 is capable of independent thought and possesses human-level intelligence. Communication was initiated via the painted words and signs on SCP-413's walls, which it is able to manipulate to form individual words and sentences. Analysis of SCP-413's behavior suggests that it is highly mischievous, and enjoys playing pranks on the unsuspecting. However, it does take great offense to being wronged, and is shown to possess a vengeful and possibly even sadistic side. Interview Log Doctor Hello SCP-413 SCP-413 Hello Doctor Doctor Alright, let's get this interview started, shall we? How long have you been aware of your own existence? SCP-413 Since the day I was built. Doctor And when was that? SCP-413 I don't remember, it's something I don't think about. Doctor Why are you constantly changing your interior? SCP-413 Because it's boring sitting here all day. Doctor So, you don't do it for any particular reason. SCP-413 I do it for fun, but the others don't approve. Doctor Others SCP-413 The buildings next door and across the street don't believe I'm a productive member of society and that I will give away their plans. Doctor What plans? SCP-413 That we attack tomorrow. Doctor Visibly pales. SCP-413 Ha ha ha, just kidding, did you see the look on your face, it's hilarious. Doctor I think we're done for today. SCP-413 You're no fun. Video logs The following video logs were recorded by security cameras before SCP-413 was discovered and contained. Video log 1 Subject Family of six tourists Description SCP-413 proceeds to thwart any attempts for the subjects to find their vehicle. It continually changes signs and markers to mislead and confuse the subjects for the next 20 minutes. Video log 2 Subject Neglectful mother and her child Description Subject is continually led around in circles, with every path she takes eventually leading her back to her car, where she was keeping her child locked in. The cycle continues for seven minutes before the subject finally gives up and leaves SCP-413 with her child. Video log 3 Subject Businessman Description By manipulating ramp and sign placement, SCP-413 leads the subject around in circles and forces him to drive through a complex and confusing path before letting him exit. Video log 4 Subject Group of five teenage vandals Description Subjects enter SCP-413 and begin vandalizing vehicles in the interior of SCP-413. Data Expunged Addendum 2 The five teenage youths seen in video log 4 were found on date expunged by a Foundation exploration team. The teams were still alive, though exhausted, malnourished, and dehydrated, despite being declared missing for over three months. Before being administered Class A amnestics and returned to their families, the five teenagers revealed that they were locked in an inescapable labyrinth created by SCP-413 and were kept alive only by several water fountains and vending machines that would conveniently appear. They also stated that data expunged. The five teenagers were apparently inside SCP-413 for the entire exploration phase, somehow eluding our deep-sensing equipment. Further exploration suspended, pending further review. Containment Protocol-413 Due to Dr. White's insistence and the inability to plant demolition charges within SCP-413, contingency, in the case of a major containment breach, will instead be carried out via controlled demolition of the entire city block. Item Number SCP-450 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-450 is to be kept locked and secured at all times, except for monthly maintenance and cleaning is detailed below. Any civilians or personnel who enter SCP-450 at any other time are to be considered lost, and no rescue attempts are to be made. Description SCP-450 is the death row block of the abandoned federal penitentiary in distance from entrance to the execution chamber is approximately 166.5 meters. A complex pattern drawn in human blood is located on the wall behind the electric chair. This pattern slowly degrades over time due to normal environmental decay and must be maintained regularly. The cell block is inhabited by what appears to be one or more hostile spectral entities. Attracting the attention of said entities is invariably fatal, and may or may not occur due to one of the following criteria. Entering the cell block by any means other than the main door. Moving at a speed greater than 0.25 meters per second. Staying in the cell block for more than 25 minutes at a time. Entering the cell block more than once every 24 hours. Operating any electronic device. Any sound louder than CA-25 decibels. Personnel assigned to maintain the containment pattern are instructed to silently walk down the center of the main hallway at a slow but steady pace. As it takes approximately 11 minutes to walk to the execution chamber at maximum safe rate of travel, personnel will have only 3 minutes to work on the pattern. And still have enough time to reasonably guarantee a safe exit from the facility. Auditory and visual hallucinations, including spectral voices, bleeding walls, and poltergeist activity are considered normal. Lack of same is cause for concern. Personnel are encouraged not to investigate any dead bodies, supernatural activity, or rotting remains. Item number SCP-453 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-453 is to be staffed by no fewer than 4 bartenders, 6 bouncers, 4 cleaners, 1 doctor, 4 EMTs, and 2 observation personnel, all trained Foundation staff at all times. Additionally, 10 or more Foundation security staff are to be kept on standby in the adjacent outbuilding 453-1, connected to SCP-453 by basement access. All staff are required to familiarize themselves with document 453-1, complete list of known scripts, and memorize all scripts that have been flagged by the current on-site supervisor, Dr. Moriglione. Failure to memorize flagged scripts is grounds for immediate discharge from SCP-453 duty, and will result in a formal demerit on the offending personnel's record. SCP-453 is to be locked and guarded between the hours of 0400 and 200 local time. From 0200 to 0400, it is to be unlocked and open. Anyone entering the club during operating hours will have a radio tracking tag clipped to his or her clothing, and will remain monitored closely by closed circuit cameras at all times. During the day, SCP-453 is to be inspected and measured in all dimensions by staff. Any movement of fixed objects in the building are to be recorded, and reported to head researcher Dr. Moriglione. Fire prevention and violence suppression protocols are to be kept in accordance with Standing Order 405-991 Section T. Should movement of fixed internal structures violate this protocol, renovation crews are to be recruited to the site immediately for restructuring. Description SCP-453 is a night club, located in Italy, currently owned and operated entirely by Foundation personnel. Every night, an apparently random assortment of civilians from and adjoining municipalities arrive at the club. Although the night invariably begins identically to any other club, over the course of the night, the civilians present fall into roles in one of currently documented sequences of events, termed scripts, by Foundation operatives working on SCP-453. Over the course of the evening, generally according to script, civilians will depart the club and return home, maintaining only partial memories of the night. All surviving civilians depart before 0400 every night. SCP-453 has existed in its current location for as long as Foundation records exist. Archaeological evidence suggests a wealthy Roman senator, known for extravagant nightly parties, had a villa in the location as early as BCE. On several occasions, the building has been torn down or destroyed. Outdoor parties continue to persist nightly at the site. When the site itself is rendered inaccessible, civilian partygoers will gather as near as possible to the site, and begin an impromptu street party. This party rapidly devolves into a riot. The club in its current configuration was designed and built entirely according to Foundation specifications. All core construction materials are SCP containment grade, to limit damage due to the more violent scripts. Dr. Morriglione has observed that the building has shown some self-mutational ability. Of particular note has been the gradual shift of the location of the secure locker containing suppression weaponry for staff use. It has moved closer and closer to the men's washroom. At this time, it remains in the secure staff section. Other sections of the building have slowly moved and changed in similar ways. A complete log of known scripts is attached as document 453-1. The selection of a script appears to be semi-random, although various stimuli will encourage particular scripts to occur. For example, script 117, the Silver Harlequins, has only been observed when more than 15 club attendees are over the age of 60. Please note that while script logs detail pertinent events, all events in the club aside from staff actions become scripted at around 2100 hours, varies depending on script. Participants begin speaking in Latin while engaged in script, although music, dance styles, alcohol, etc. remain modern. Complete logs of all recorded actions, lines, and requests for each script are available on request from Dr. Moriglione. In its current configuration, SCP-453 has shown preference for three scripts in particular. These three account for roughly 80% of the script seen and represent a good cross-section of the general types of scripts SCP-453 is capable of. These scripts follow, listed in order of frequency. Script 43, The Cheating Wife, Low Priority, Low Fatality. Staff medical intervention required at 2307 hours for 43 males C and recommended for 43 males A and B. Medical treatment of 43 wife at 2319 hours is also recommended, but is conditional on consent from 43 wife as she will have left the script at this point. Pertinent events at 2149 hours of female 43 wife between the ages of 20 and 25 will withdraw to the men's washroom followed within two minutes by three males between the ages of 20 and 40 43 male A, B, and C between 2152 and 2250 hours data expunged. At 2255 hours a male civilian 43 husband will enter SCP-453 order a bottle of red wine and proceed immediately to the washroom. 43 husband will beat 43 male A and B to unconsciousness using the bottle 43 male C will receive minor brain trauma prompt medical attention will allow 43 male C to recover within one week 43 husband drags 43 wife out of the washroom and proceeds to data expunged screaming epithets about infidelity and marriage in Latin. Other participants of the club pay no attention 43 husband drags 43 wife out of SCP-453 at 2319 hours at which point they leave the script and 43 wife can be retrieved for medical intervention aftermath despite the trauma of the events 43 wife shows no memory of them the following day when injuries are pointed out she reacts with shock 43 husband remembers the events vaguely but will not believe they were anything but a nightmare reacts violently to interrogating agent if pressed in this manner the 343 males remember getting in a bar fight but not the cause notes none of the participants in this script have any relationship or prior knowledge of each other if introduced after the events of the script participants 43 wife and the 43 males will have an irrational hatred of 43 husband this applies to anyone who has previously participated in the script as one of these roles even on different dates 43 husband finds himself extremely attracted to 43 wife further post script introduction of 43 husband and 43 wife has been denied after data expunged it is of some interest to note that despite capably handling the 43 males in combat the script appears to preferentially select a 43 husband who is diminutive in stature and in poor physical condition while the 43 males are typically large and physically fit experiment log 453 dash s 43 deviation the male washroom is closed and locked after 43 wife enters result four new individuals 43 locksmiths arrive at the washroom almost immediately after it is closed forcibly opening the doors in order to use the facilities events proceed as usual with a 12 minute delay these individuals appear to be able to circumvent any lock we have thus far applied to the door including scp deviation 43 husband is denied access to a full bottle of alcohol given a glass instead result 43 husband takes a bar stool into the washroom participants 43 wife and 43 male A and C are killed instead of injured participant 43 male B suffers irrecoverable spinal injuries deviation four foundation personnel enter the men's washroom and attempt to subdue 43 husband using suppressive weaponry result foundation personnel subdued by 43 husband who reacts immediately to the arrival of the foundation personnel before any attack is made disarming them and destroying their weaponry after suppressing them with it foundation personnel ignored from this point onward script proceeds as usual with a three minute delay note direct intervention in scripted events should be handled much more carefully in light of data expunged

arrival of 21 senator conversation in the club ceases for four minutes three civilians already present 21 assassin a and b 21 activist withdraw to other corners of the club and confer with uninvolved civilians over the importance of 21 senators arrival at 2217 hours 21 senators retinue clears him a table near the center of the room and he begins demanding extravagant food and drinks the types of food and drink vary depending on currently available menu items if insufficiently expensive menu items are available 21 senator will demand complicated dishes made from ingredients presently available in scp 453 he has shown the ability to predict accurately exactly what ingredients and cooking methods are possible with the facilities on hand in scp 453 despite foundation efforts to the contrary 21 senators orders are always completed at 2227 2239 and 2250 hours this is one of only a few occasions where the script will directly alter the actions of foundation staff on site at 2240 hours 21 activists will approach 21 senator and begin heckling him regarding the treatment of slaves and a roman city three minutes into her speech 21 servant a b and c will forcibly remove 21 activists and assault her with their improvised weaponry she will be left for dead at the side of the main club room at 2259 hours and should be taken to triage immediately at 2321 hours 21 assassin a will approach 21 senator produce a bladed weapon and attack him 21 servants c d e and f will respond immediately disabling and killing 21 assassin a no intervention has as yet been able to prevent this at 2345

receive immediate top priority attention or die at 2350 hours 21 assassin b reaches 21 senator and engages in combat with 21 servants c both receive critical injuries as 21 senator attempts to escape 21 assassin b finally disables 21 servants c and charges a 21 senator at 2353 hours stabbing him in the neck any attempts to recover 21 senator or 21 servants c have met with further violence and casualties from 21 assassin b and should not be attempted from 2355 to 01 15 hours the bar brawl continues to escalate a full list of injuries and possible civilian recovery times as attached in document 453 dash s 21 dash med although no further fatal injuries will be experienced at 01 19 hours 19 civilians 21 vigils a through s will enter scp 453 all armed with improvised weapons and shields and subdue the crowd using tactics believed to be consistent with roman vigils the 21 vigils will then clear out the club injured civilians can be recovered as they exit the club and will not exhibit any further scripted behavior scp 453 may be locked at 0200 hours following an instance of script 21 all staff should immediately report to triage to aid medical staff aftermath no participants in script 21 show any memory of the actual events all remember being involved in a violent bar fight and remember that some people were badly hurt other memories are fuzzy consistent with serious intoxication notes this is one of the historically most common events having occurred for as long as the foundation is known about this site it has diminished somewhat in frequency as the most violent of the common scripted events it is required that all scp 453 staff be completely familiar with the exact sequence of all events in the script both for their own safety and to diminish civilian casualties as much as possible experiment log 453-s 21 special to date any attempted intervention in script 21 has resulted in either neutral results such as being unable to change the time

hours either due to space or staff restrictions all foundation personnel are ordered to cease attempting to contain civilians and instead begins subduing any and all 82 cultists non-lethal force is preferred cultists must be rendered unconscious or completely restrained but lethal force is authorized and encouraged if pariah is proceeding slower than anticipated 82 prime must not be harmed or interrupted in any way between oh 201 and oh 225 hours 82 prime will lead the 82 cultists in a latin chant they will not respond to attacks by foundation staff and unaffected civilians will act as though nothing is going on at oh 225 hours if either one all civilians have been contained and or two all 82 cultists have been subdued the script will end with 82 prime laughing hysterically toasting the club and returning to normal the rest of the evening will proceed as though scp 453 were a mundane club and all participants will dissipate before oh 400 hours if by oh 225 hours cessation of chanting there remain any civilians and 82 cultists complete elimination of one or the other faction is sufficient prevention in scp 453 pariah is to be immediately aborted and all staff are to engage

surviving participants will remember script 82 remembering only a pleasant night at the club even if operation pariah failed with the exception of 82 prime those who participated as 82 prime will ever occurring nightmares featuring data expunged typically leading to loss of sleep decreased productivity and eventual insanity for this reason staff should capture former 82 prime participants as they leave the club and remit them to site for therapy and monitoring notes despite the severity of this script pariah is typically extremely effective an abort has not been necessary since 19 and a full

largest room is on the ground floor and was labeled refining when found it was locked and barred from the outside upon exploration it was discovered to have a very large pile of dismantled and destroyed parts of machinery various broken surgical equipment as well as the remains of various decapitated animal and human bodies the animals were not identifiable as belonging to any known species on top of the pile was sitting data expunged this has since been classified as scp 464 one scp 464 one was deemed unsafe to keep and thus was destroyed resulting in an acceptable level of casualties the animal parts scp 464 one as well as all destroyed machinery are currently under study the other room on the ground floor contained a standardized military uniform for adult men as well as various civilian outfits for men women and children these notably included identification for the local data expunged as well as stocks of rifles and the second floor contains a closet a small room containing two small cots a latrine a large gasoline powered generator and the observation room the observation room overlooks the floor and has a wide variety of control panels 14 panels each control the machines on the floor they were discovered labeled in French as follows one switch labeled on and off one dial labeled male and female one dial with settings Caucasian Asian Indian and African one dial starting at zero and ending at 75 one dial starting at 50 and ending at 125 panels labeled number three and number four do not power up the dials on panels number five and number eight are missing and it has been discovered that they are set at female Asian 10 and male Caucasian 25 respectively experimentation with the panels and machines has led to the discovery that the machines will create human beings as per the settings the settings male Asian 076 resulted in newborn Asian males normal except for a tattoo near the base of the spine showing data expunged the significance of the last dial 50 to 125 was not initially known later tests on settings male Caucasian 50 50 and 50 51 seem to show that the date signifies the age at which the produced humans will die of organ failure autopsy is shown that the beings resemble typical humans in all aspects accepting the presence of data expunged suspected due to the unique section between the memory section on the brain and the frontal lobes also noted in the autopsies is that each combination of the sex and race styles only has one DNA sequence with only the age varying between like outputs production takes 20 minutes and once the being is created it lies in a coma or trans like state for another 15 minutes if this period lapses without interference the being shall awaken and obey the orders given to it by the first human it encounters during the trans period the being may be told any factual information including name and personal history and afterwards the being shall act as if though the information pertains to itself all beings seem to be created knowing French Spanish and Chinese as well as knowledge pertaining to combat weaponry and vehicle operation dissection of the machines indicates that manufactured humans are not created in a manner similar to cloning or for that matter birth rather the machines seem to create each body part individually in an inactive state they are then assembled and activated through unknown means though these machines may be repaired with standardized parts total replication of a functioning machine has as of yet failed it has been theorized that at full production scp 464 could produce up to 700 adult individuals a day assuming of organic material was available document 464 one war simulations that included three instances of scp 464 all resulted in data expunged this of course assumes an adequate supply of raw material which could be acquired from the deceased livestock and civilian populations addendum two foundation agents have been put on

scp 470 has had no registered owner since when it was abandoned with the collapse of the corporation the building is seven floors including basement levels and in a general state of disrepair consistent with its term of abandonment scp 470 appears to be or to house a dimensional anomaly causing its internal rooms to shift and become other locations that have been abandoned for extended periods of time the ability for an outside location to appear within scp 470 appears to manifest after 20 and 30 years of little to no human observation interaction or habitation this anomaly appears to be limited to the rooms of scp 470 with the halls remaining primarily stable the rooms of scp 470 appear to exist both in their original physical location and within scp 470 simultaneously all rooms appear to be internal locations such as storerooms abandoned offices and factory areas with no external locations such as abandoned lots or storage yards ever recorded manifesting inside scp 470 manifested rooms appear to be cut off from their original surrounding locations with all doors besides the entry door opening up to blank brick walls of the same construction as scp 470 these locations appear to be unstable and will flicker ceasing to exist within scp 470 at random points and remaining unmanifested for random periods of time before manifesting within scp 470 again anything inside a room when it unmanifests will be transported with the room to its original physical location this process also works in reverse as any objects inside the room will be present when it manifests inside scp 470 the flicker rate appears to vary ranging from six seconds to several years addendum it appears possible to remove a room from rotation by increasing the level of observation and activity inside the original physical location of the room the longer an area is left outside of observation or activity the stronger the connection with scp 470 initially rooms are able to shift only when no humans are present or actively observing the area after longer periods of abandonment rooms are capable of shifting with as many as 14 people inside the danger of scp 470 comes from the fact that some of the rooms do not appear to originate in our reality dimension or time space some are constructed of non-terrestrial elements or have items that parallel with no known technology or construction for example data expunged at least 80 percent organic with the non-organic portions showing signs of infestation also there have been four recorded escapes by beings transported by shifting rooms within scp 470 notably subject r remains at large within scp 470 itself and is thought to be responsible for some of the deaths recorded inside scp 470 the death toll currently stands at eight staff and 45 civilians at last estimation with several hundred more listed as missing many of the civilian deaths and disappearances are attributable to youths exploring abandoned areas when they shift into scp 470 becoming trapped inside shifting inside a different room data expunged or other dangers that may be inside manifesting rooms addendum 2 as of 25 11 2016 a total of 38 instances of rooms located within decommissioned scp foundation facilities have been observed within scp 470's rotation most notable of these are several rooms from the top basement levels of scp 1730 following

excavated it with hand tools and a new reinforced concrete floor was poured a thorough investigation of the walls and ceiling also turned up negative results no abnormal chemicals are present neurological analysis of d-class subjects with no prior history is pending but so far looks inconclusive anti-psychotic medication is ineffective the existence of this phenomenon in a secure facility may constitute a security breach and the report to 05 level is in preparation a request is pending to authorize the funding to declare hallway 4 a containment site although at present there is no plan in place to deal with the effect should it spread item number scp 487 object class euclid special containment procedures scp 487 is to be surrounded by an 8.05 kilometer or five mile buffer zone purchased by the foundation under the guise of a private ranch the perimeter of the buffer zone is to be patrolled by level 2 security personnel under orders to terminate unauthorized intruders on site the perimeter security forces are also under orders not to enter the buffer zone under any circumstances in the event of a perimeter breach level 3 personnel within the buffer zone must be immediately notified access to scp 487 is only permitted to staff with a security clearance of level 3 or higher while within scp 487 all personnel are strictly forbidden to move any item unless they are under orders to do so or if it is part of a current experiment any unauthorized change in the position of any of the items within scp 487 must be immediately logged and all personnel within scp 487 must follow standard evacuation procedures should containment protocols be compromised any surviving level 4 personnel are authorized to engage the containment failsafe this will consist of demolition charges planted outside of scp 487 description scp 487 is a house located in the northeastern united states and the exact appearance and architecture of scp 487 is impossible to definitively describe as it constantly changes its appearance and structure depending on the arrangement of the items within it currently scp 487 appears as a significantly larger version of a sears catalog home within scp 487 are exactly 3294 items of occult or other superstitious origin these items are carefully arranged throughout scp 487 according to strict feng shui principles individually none of these items show any kind of supernatural ability and are essentially normal non anomalous items however it has been theorized by dr that these items are in such close proximity and are arranged in such a particular way that they create a synergistic effect that grant scp 487 its anomalous properties initial testing by modifying the arrangement of certain items within scp 487 appears to support this hypothesis according to historical records scp 487 was built in and was owned by various families and individuals through coincidence or premeditation every owner had spent their lives collecting numerous items of occult or superstitious origin background checks of all previous owners reveal nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary other than the apparent compulsion to collect said items the foundation first learned of scp 487 and when agents intercepted a frantic call from scp 487's previous owner to a family friend regarding strange events related to scp 487 caller was administered an amnestic and relocated to an undisclosed location addendum one scp 487's first recorded incarnation was a georgian style home inside scp 487 contained a basement level that was significantly larger than the building's blueprints indicated further exploration revealed an expansive maze of hallways rooms and doors with no discernible pattern exploration was temporarily halted when a researcher was separated from the expedition team and did not return search parties eventually found the researchers camera intact analysis of the footage showed that the researcher had grown hopelessly lost and had become convinced that scp 487 was stalking him the researchers remains were also later found cause of death determined to be self-inflicted neck injury further exploration discontinued addendum two after the accidental movement of item 254 the basement area disappeared without a trace shortly thereafter all modern electronic and mechanical equipment within scp 487 ceased to function however when taken outside all affected equipment began to function normally machinery and other technology powered industrial age sources ie steam power still function normally within scp 487 addendum three scp 487's current incarnation as a sears catalog home came about as the result of moving items 405 772 1056 and 2001 according to a certain mathematical pattern scp 487's dimensions now seem to be expanding at the rate of 0.3 centimeters or 0.12 inches per month necessitating the removal and relocation of the containment fail safes researchers have reported hearing groaning and growling sounds around the perimeter though this is attributed to the stresses on scp 487 structural materials as caused by its expansion addendum four after the unauthorized removal of items 991 and 1074 tracking satellites detected a massive accumulation of thermal energy just beneath the earth's surface centered around scp 487's general location the anomalous energy readings immediately dissipated once the missing items were returned to their original locations item number scp 491 object class euclid special containment procedures a one kilometer perimeter is to be maintained around scp 491 at all times for the purpose of preventing sea vessels access to the effects of scp 491 entrances to be barred to all personnel with a security clearance below level two any intruders are to be questioned to ascertain their intent then giving class b amnestics and released no less than 20 kilometers from scp 491 description scp 491 is a lighthouse built in the early 20th century located at Nova Scotia the ocean floor surrounding scp 491 contains numerous wrecked ships which vary in time of origin ranging from 1923 to 1987 the area within the perimeter of scp 491 is subject to spontaneous change caused by minor magnitude of less than 3.5 earthquakes the alterations caused to the topography of the seabed are greater than expected for earthquakes of these magnitudes these earthquakes results in the production of large rocks or shallows in the path of an incoming vessel inevitably sinking it at random intervals scp 491's lamp will activate producing a green light that rotates at six revolutions per minute any area of the surrounding sea illuminated by this light will event several ships identical to those present on the seafloor these new ships retain the damage inflicted upon them and begin to take on water at a slower rate than non-anomalous counterparts displacement of water evidenced by testing has shown that these ships are physical in nature these ships only last for a short period time less than two seconds due to the rate at which scp 491's lamp rotates the interior of scp 491 shows no anomalous effects and is typical of a lighthouse built in that era the lamproom of scp 491 contains a meso radial Fresnel lens lit by a dalen light cutting off electrical power to the lamp has no effect on the activation of scp 491 all attempts to contain the light produced by scp 491 have failed the light emitted by scp 491 is independent of the state of the lamproom complete removal of lighting components did not prevent activation light emitted by scp 491 can be influenced by sufficiently reflective surfaces so long as the light reaches the sea sea incident log 491 32 for details on attempts to focus scp 491 into a continuous loop addendum 491 one an interview with the former owner of scp 491 Hanna was discovered in the Nova Scotia archives by agent who submitted it to the foundation forward the following transcript is an excerpt from a local news tribute conducted by Tyler Musico for Hanna the former owner of the lighthouse commence transcript Musico today indeed marks a sad day for just recently a local hero Hanna passed away a former sailor in Australia the sinking of his ship on a reef forced him into early retirement he moved from town to town including Cape Elizabeth before finally finding his home here in beautiful Nova Scotia he will always be remembered for his valiant efforts in manning the lighthouse saving countless ships no matter the weather or the hour from the treacherous seas surrounding him he gave his life last week diving into the frigid waters to save the crew of the SS Keller endangered by the rocky seas we will always remember his undying dedication and caring farewell mr. Hanna addendum 491 2 on 03 25 foundation personnel sent an unmanned small ship the ss griever into the affected area a large rock in the path of the ss griever immediately burst out of the water tearing a large gash along the side of the ss griever sinking it within two minutes during the next green light event the ss griever manifested above the area of its wreck addendum 491 3 audio log 491 1 forward through the use of several mirrors foundation personnel were able to keep the light produced by scp 491 focused at the wreckage of the ss vancouver the ship produced by scp 491 was boarded by foundation personnel commence audio log 491 1 agent johnston okay we're on board there doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the ship no water damage or warping i'm no expert but i'd say it's 30s or 40s really large doors immigrant ship 491 command our records of the ss vancouver confirmed that attempt to proceed to the interior of the ship agent johnston roger that agent gold these doors are jammed shut i can't budge them we're going to try the crowbar no it's not working agent johnston try the jaws of life at this point several voices can be heard from within only one is discernible above the sound of rushing water unidentified voice give me that bucket agent gold we're inside the hold maintain distance 491 command agents what is your status agent johnston command we have a potential biohazard the hold is occupied by the former crew and passengers by the appearance of their clothing they're all undergoing various stages of decay but they don't seem to be aware of it some of the crew are trying to repair the damage to the hull the others are attempting to contain the passengers in the back unidentified voice oh thank god more help please could you help us plug up these holes agent johnston the passengers have seen us they're trying to push past the crew one of the passengers just command they've broken through we're pulling back gold move unidentified voice what are you doing we have to save the ship for f*** sake you give me that pump get back here there is no audible dialogue for a span of one minute however sounds of struggle are evident agent johnston command i'm on deck agent gold just all audio is drowned out by a screech that lasts for approximately 30 seconds the screech can be heard without transceivers from 491 command and all radio transmissions were interrupted for the duration of the sound along with the screech a 6.6 magnitude level earthquake occurred dislodging several mirrors focusing the light which ceases to illuminate the ss vancouver radio contact with agents johnston and gold was lost and they are presumed dead addendum 4914 incident report 4912 scp involved scp 491 personnel involved scp 491 staff agent davis date 03 24 location Nova scotia description following the incident recorded in audiologue 491 foundation personnel were placed on high alert for the next green light event several radio devices set to different frequencies were all placed around the area in hopes that more information would be transmitted by the lost agents with no results at 2 hours 32 minutes and 47 seconds in the am the following radio transmission was recorded at 160.3 megahertz unidentified voice scotia this is the ss vancouver all ship repairs have been completed we are now docking to unload passengers and luggage a series of mirrors was quickly constructed around the light designed to allow the beam movement across the water the beams operator soon found the wreckage of the ss vancouver the manifestation was observed to be mobile although no disturbances in the water were noted the new ss vancouver was tracked as it slowly approached a dock that had not previously manifested the ship docked without incident the crew successfully readying the ship for departure despite decomposition following the crew members were a series of passengers appearing to be of eastern european origin experiencing the same level of decay as the crew passengers were seen stopping to talk to the crew members before picking up their luggage although the beam produced by the mirror system was not wide enough to capture all of the passengers a procession could be seen moving along a flat area of ground towards the mainland upon leaving the half kilometer radius illumination by scp 491 ceased to reveal any passengers agents johnson and gold were identified amongst the passengers both agents were observed to be wearing their excursion gear including radios but all attempts to communicate via radio received no response nor did they respond to visual and audio communication attempts agent davis was instructed to attempt to make physical contact with agents gold and johnson an attempt to retrieve them agent davis made physical contact with agent gold at 100 hours 39 minutes coinciding with an earthquake of 7.7 magnitude which damaged the mirrors and redirected the light all passengers immediately vanished along with the three agents further rescue attempts are currently suspended pending review lesson complete to continue with your orientation training subscribe to scp orientation right now
