 Item number, SCP-259, Object Class, Keter, Special Containment Procedures. A single copy of a computer program capable of producing SCP-259 is to be kept on compact disk in the high-security containment vault at Site-25. Because disks containing SCP-259 are typically destroyed during experimentation, additional copies may be made for approved experiments. Mobile Task Force Gamma-10 remains on standby to collect and neutralize any copies of SCP-259 found outside the Foundation. Unauthorized media containing SCP-259 or the means to produce it are to be destroyed immediately. Description SCP-259 is a fractal image, known as the Wysonglass Spiral. A completed rendering of SCP-259 acts as an Einstein-Rosen bridge, opening a portal to an unknown location. The location's accessed appear to vary depending on the size and orientation of the rendered image and have included an area filled with superheated plasma, estimated temperature, 20 million Kelvin, C-incident K-2591, an area populated with venomous cockroaches, species unknown, weight approximately 2 kilograms, C-incident K-2592, deep space, estimated to be 20 kilometers from a black hole, an area possibly corresponding to the dimension opened by SCP-259. Human mathematicians are working on determining why this specific fractal has anomalous properties and whether other similarly anomalous images exist. By 05 order, any image rendering related to SCP-259 experimentation must take place at least 1 meter from inhabited areas. After incident K-2591, 41 copies of a CD capable of generating SCP-259 were confiscated from R.com and a public warning issued that the CD, labeled 100 fun fractals you can print, contains a malicious virus that will destroy the user's computer. Said website claimed to have obtained the discs from a reseller's bankruptcy sale and the foundation was unable to trace the original producer. Whether a SCP-259 was released accidentally or distributed with knowledge of its anomalous properties is under investigation. Incident K-2592 makes it clear that SCP-259 is being used with malicious intent. The foundation is working with global anti-terrorism forces to retrieve SCP-259 from the organization responsible for this incident. Addendum Incident K-2591, a residence hall at University, was destroyed by explosion and fire on date undisclosed. These were mystified that conditions at the center of the incident resembled the detonation of a small fusion-based device. One of the graduate students was completely vaporized, as were several others, including several who left shadows imprinted on the nearest standing walls. Questioning of survivors indicated that the graduate student had gone to his room with a CD he had recently ordered from R.com to play with some fractals, leading to the eventual discovery of a program capable of rendering SCP-259 for sale on the site. Incident K-2592, image of SCP-259, approximately 10 meters by 10 meters in size, appears on Diamond Vision screen during soccer game at the stadium. Approximately 60,000 people in attendance. Survivors report a large circular anomaly appeared in front of the image, and venomous cockroaches poured out from it, attacking anyone they could reach. Approximately data-expunged casualties. Considered a self-containing incident, as the insects are unable to survive for more than two hours in Earth's atmosphere. The cockroaches average two kilograms in weight and correspond to no known terrestrial species. Several live specimens were collected by Foundation MTFs, and classified as SCP- They are currently held at Site- in a 35% oxygen environment. Mass application of amnestics necessary to partially suppress public knowledge of this event. Experiment X-2591, a battery-powered computer was set up in an uninhabited area of the desert to render an image of the Wysonglass spiral, with remote cameras and sensors set up to monitor the results. Foundation personnel observed at a safe distance. Upon completion of the image, a circular area appeared in front of the computer, approximately 1 meter in diameter, emitting a blinding white light, followed by a ball of superheated plasma. The plasma dissipated after expanding to an area of several cubic meters. Given the interference provided by the building in incident K-2591, this is consistent with the damage observed. Dr. P. considers it interesting that SCP-259 took effect without direct human observation. Experiment X-2592. Experiment X-2591 recreated, except the size of the rendered fractal was doubled. Upon completion of image, a black portal approximately 3 meters in diameter appeared, and all matter within meters was pulled into it. This is consistent with an otherwise unexplained incident in an undisclosed location, where an apartment building was described by observers as imploding and disappearing, leaving a deep hole. Experiment X-2593. Generation of an inverted version of SCP-259. Data expunged, an area quarantined pending containment of multiple examples of SCP- Item number SCP-093. Object Class. Euclid. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-093 must remain on a mirror at all times and under video surveillance. Admittance into the area of SCP-093's containment must be authorized only with proper video recording and subject retrieval procedures in place. Any attempt to use SCP-093 outside of an approved test will be dealt with severely, up to and including termination. Description. SCP-093 is a primarily red disc carved from a stone composite resembling cinnabar, with circular engravings and unknown symbols carved at 0.5 centimeter depth around the entire object. Deeper cuts are present on SCP-093 with a depth of 1 to 1.5 centimeters. SCP-093 is 7.62 centimeters in diameter and fits comfortably into most palms without abrasion. SCP-093 will change hue when held by a living individual. The colors taken by SCP-093 are still being researched to establish a link. Current belief holds that the changes depend upon regrets carried by the holder. If SCP-093 is removed from a mirror and not held by a person, it will seek out the nearest mirror-like surface. SCP-093 has been observed to travel in the largest possible circle while rolling, building up phenomenal speed. The mechanism of this acceleration is currently unknown. If an object is between SCP-093 and the nearest mirror-like surface, it will use this momentum to punch through the obstacle and continue on its course at this speed. It will only stop when a mirror-like surface is contacted. Despite tremendous impact velocities, no damage will be dealt to SCP-093 or the mirror. Additional notes. No records exist to clarify the nature of SCP-093's discovery or presence in the foundation. Since no records exist explaining SCP-093's method of containment, a test procedure was initiated to establish why mirrors must be used to contain it. The results of SCP-093-T1 led to the discovery of living beings holding SCP-093 being able to move through mirrors and the series of tests in SCP-093-T2 to ascertain the destination reached through this travel. SCP-093 Original Documentation Item Number SCP-093 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Item SCP-093 is to be kept on a silver-lined mirror on a 0x3x0.23 meter or 1 foot by 9 inch pedestal, at least 1.22 meters or 4 feet off the ground floor in containment cell block. Object is not to be contained in areas exceeding 3.66 by 3.05 meters or 12 by 10 feet, nor placed on mahogany, pine, cherry, or aluminum pedestals. Above or below level 1 of containment cell block, object can be handled safely, albeit gently, without consequences. Tests and consequences thereof involving containment conditions can be viewed in Section B35-1 of the Attached Report. Description Object was found on the shore of the Red Sea 30th January 1968, emitting a low sigh and a dim blue gleam. Its color has since turned into an orange mix of red, only emitting a hum of varying volume whilst in the presence of female examiners of ages between 34 and 41. SCP-093 resembled the documented blue for 54-34 at 1.23 on 26 April 1986, coincidentally when the body of 1.949834 was discovered in an undisclosed research facility. Ties between 1.949834 and SCP-093 remain inconclusive, and effects of prolonged exposure to SCP-093 remain unknown except for infrequent reports of periods of calmness and in the case of 24-20049 as periodic waves of depression, loss of balance, and thoughts of suicide. These feelings have reportedly not exceeded 11 days in duration. Objects seemed to react to the presence of 24-20056 by turning light violet for no more than 209, as documented on 12 March 1993. Effects of this reaction remain unknown. Additional notes, origins of 093 remain unknown, and documents of recovery of 093 have since been destroyed in a fire in research facility on 9 December 1989. Reports on the feelings of researchers who handled 093 have remained inconsequential since 19 April 1995. SCP-093-T1 Containment Test Testing of SCP-093 against conditions set forth for existing containment procedures to assess viability of continuing such containment, beginning with changing the type of mirror used as a position of rest. Mirrored surface breast frame retail grade mirror. SCP-093 rests without activity when placed on the mirror. This test alone removes the need for costly silver or wooden containment systems. Standard grade table. SCP-093 turns upright and begins to roll across the table surface in one direction, making a U-turn and rolling to the other, completing an oval shape, and repeating this action until a mirror is brought into the vicinity of it, at which time the SCP-093 rolls toward the mirror and lays flatways against it, sliding toward the center. It is noted that despite the grainy feel of SCP-093, it does not mark the mirror in any fashion while moving across it. Two mirrors at either end of a standard grade table. SCP-093 gravitates toward the closer mirror regardless of orientation and makes no distinction between different types of mirrors, favoring a factor of distance above all else and choosing the mirror to move to. A mirror held by a person moved around. SCP-093 follows the mirror as it moves, gaining speed until a maximum velocity is reached. At any velocity, the impact of SCP-093 against a mirrored surface results in no damage to either object. A person holding SCP-093, placing it on a mirror, this test was accidental, the result of one of the staff tripping another after some debate about who would be covering the lunch tab. As a result of the behavior of the researchers, it was discovered that a person holding SCP-093 and placing it against a mirror will in fact move into the mirror. Addendum. Containment testing discontinued after establishing that SCP-093 requires only a mirror to rest inert. Testing on human interaction with mirrors while holding SCP-093, authorized by Dr. SCP-093-T2 mirror test. Testing protocols. Subjects testing SCP-093 must wear a Class 3 buckle harness strapped to the chest and attached to a tension pulley system allowing for 300 meters, more than 1,000 feet of movement. Additional spools may be added to extend movement if necessary. The clasps connecting these spools must be high grade and capable of withstanding applied force of 0.2 tons. A field kit containing the following should be standard issue for testing of SCP-093. One wrist-mounted light source with three hours life span and additional power sources providing up to six additional hours. Four 0.5 liter water bottles with water. Four MREs of any type, plus two plain granola bars, chocolate chips allowed. One standard issue Beretta 9mm firearm, the 24 rounds of ammunition, loaded. This is not to be issued until subject is passed into a mirror using SCP-093 and should be given under armed supervision, ensuring that the subject passes through entirely. This item is to be requisitioned first upon subject's return and subject to be made aware of this before leaving line of sight within SCP-093's mirror. One standard issue field knife. The subject is not to be made aware of this item and must find it on his own within the kit. The subject must also be attached to a video system with a camera mounted on the subject's head or shoulders. The video device should be cable based and allow for the same length of travel as the return system. Wireless cameras have shown mixed results and should only be used in testing conditions where SCP-093 is a currently known color. New colors must be tested using wired feed. During testing, the color of SCP-093 must be recorded as well as history of the subject in terms of their incarceration to identify how SCP-093 determines the color to assume. A link appears to be connected to guilt or a lack thereof in the subject's psyche. SCP-093-T2 Mirror Tests Testing Protocols Subject's testing SCP-093 must wear a Class 3 buckle harness strapped to the chest and attached to a tension pulley system allowing for 300 meters or roughly 1000 feet of movement. Additional spools may be added to extend movement if necessary. The clasps connecting these spools must be high grade and capable of withstanding applied force of 0.2 tons. A field kit containing the following should be standard issue for testing of SCP-093. One, wrist mounted light source with 3 hours life span and additional power sources providing up to 6 additional hours. Four, 0.5 liter water bottles with water. Four MREs of any type, plus two plain granola bars, chocolate chips allowed. One, standard issue Beretta 9mm firearm with 24 rounds of ammunition loaded. This is not to be issued until subject has passed into a mirror using SCP-093 and should be given under armed supervision ensuring that the subject passes through entirely. This item is to be requisitioned first upon subject's return and subject to be made aware of this before leaving line of sight within SCP-093's mirror. One, standard issue field knife. The subject is not to be made aware of this item and must find it on his own within the kit. The subject must also be attached to a video system with the camera mounted on the subject's head or shoulders. The video device should be cable based and allow for the same length of travel as the return system. Wireless cameras have shown mixed results and should only be used in testing conditions where SCP-093 is a currently known color. Two colors must be tested using wired feed. During testing, the color of SCP-093 must be recorded as well as history of the subject in terms of their incarceration to identify how SCP-093 determines the color to assume. A link appears to be connected to guilt or a lack thereof in the subject's psyche. The attached test results should be read in order. Mirror test one, color blue. Subject is D-20384, male, 34 years of age, strong physique. Subject's background shows instance of murder and attempted suicide. Subject is cooperative in all steps of testing. Subject entered the provided mirror while holding SCP-093, which emitted a blue color. Outside, technicians observed that the mirror retained a true reflection until subject had completely passed into it, at which time the view changed to an outdoor landscape, heavily tinged in blue. Video feed follows an attached media. Camera activates, flickers to view. Subject is looking out over the same field reported by technicians. Looks like typical lowland plains. Everything has a heavy blue tinge overlapping the normal colors. No discernible landmarks visible as subject pans view left to right. Only grass, weeds, and a breeze moving the taller grass. No trees, no living beings visible. Subject moves forward as instructed, traveling for approximately 500 steps before something becomes visible. A patch of the land up ahead is barren and grass can be seen dying as subject approaches it. Approximately 300 steps forward, subject is standing before a hole in the ground. The hole has been dug using unknown tools of primitive origin. Pulley system engaged and the camera suffers a light shutter. Subject is instructed to enter the hole and after mild protesting agrees to do so. There is no apparent method of descent such as ladder or rope. Subject relies entirely on his own hands and the pulley system to slow the descent. Approximately 100 meters of cable is used before a bottom is reached. Light source provided in field kit activated 50 meters down when outside sources become unreliable. Sweeping gestures of the light reveal nothing more than dirt even at the bottom of the hole. Subject moves forward with assistance of light source. Asked about the blue tinge, subject expresses confusion and says there is no such tinge from his perspective and never was. Light is visible down the passage and 150 meters of cable has been used. Out of the camera's eye sound is recorded of the firearm being prepared. When questioned about these actions, subject states justified precaution and moves forward. The tunnel turns from bare dirt to a concrete enclosure, subject complains of a stench. The light source is revealed to be sealing light fixtures, a series of which with less than a quarter broken while the others function. A series of six doors, three to a side, span before the camera view with the seventh door visible at the end of the corridor that has been blocked by what looks like generic metal shelving debris. Debris shows signs of rusting and is typical of retail store units suggesting other human presences. Subject requested to try doors in whatever order he chooses. Subject tries first door on the right, door is locked, does not open. Second door tries to open but does not budge, unlocked but blocked. Closing second door, third door is tried, same results as first. Going up the other side, the third door does open fully and light is bright in the room. Portable light switched off at this time as subject pans camera to inspect room. Room is bare, no contents but walls are filthy. Subject states material on walls isn't dirt but he can't identify it. Seems to resemble melted plastic but is brown in color rather than black. Door is closed. Second door on left side has no handle, does not move when pushed. The hole where the handle was is plugged by unknown material. All doors are shaped in such a way that nothing can visibly escape from the sides and space for movement is too thin to look through even at ground level. First door on left hand is locked but part of key is present in lock from stem to the ridges, the back has been broken off. With effort, subject manipulates key to open door and immediately begins coughing, complaining of a stench. Walls of room are clean as is floor, ceiling is coated in the same strange brown material as the third room. In this room, there is a makeshift cot made from aged blankets with a pillow, a wooden crate containing open boxes of what appears to have been foodstuffs. Language appears on video as squiggles, however, subject states they simply read cereal. A second crate in the room contains what appears to be empty water bottles that have dried out. A book lays next to the cot, closed, no title or identifying marks. On the wall is what appears to be clipped articles but language cannot be read, subject asked to remove clippings for retrieval. All articles but one crumble at the touch due to age. The intact article is put in a field sample container and seems the most recent compared to the others. Asked to investigate the book, subject begins to move toward it. Audio on the tape goes strange and a high pitched screeching noise like grinding metal dominates all communication for 3.5 seconds. Subject has not touched the book still and when the noise stops, subject asks control to repeat request. Control made no requests during that time as headsets were removed. Subject advised to leave room and notes that the door has begun closing slowly on its own and if left alone will close. Subject advised to leave door alone and to investigate door on right. Careful review of the following 10 seconds of tape shows that as the camera pans, a figure is visible at the end of the tunnel where the seventh door is. The door is open, only enough for a face to be seen through a crack just before the door silently closes. No details can be seen. Subject investigates the second door on the right with no mention of anything out of the ordinary. This door when pushed against moves and after repeated bashings moves enough to view inside at an angle. A corkboard is visible with more articles attached to it. The top of a box of cereal can be seen on the floor in what appears to be a hand laying palm up. Subject closes door and pans camera past door 7 which remains closed. Seeing nowhere else to explore, subject requested to return. Subject poses no protest and complains of ever increasing stench. As subject returns back down tunnel, his camera feed does not change or show anomaly but control reports a sudden surge in cable movement pulling an additional 100 meter of cable through before going slack again and then tightening. Video feed shows subject ascending tunnel slowly while control attempts to verify integrity of the pulley system. Subject requested to stop ascent but states he is not climbing, the rope is pulling him up. Panic sets in on both sides and subject informed to ready firearm. Upon reaching top of hole, nothing is visible on camera and subject reports nothing has changed in landscape. Then begins a return trip following the path of the cable. Traveling for approximately 900 steps, subject asks how much cable he has used. Control admits they are unsure due to complications but subject traveled in a straight line to reach the hole so it should be a straight line back. Subject becomes concerned when he states that more cable is visible now, moving in a 90 degree angle away from a point in the ground. Subject pans camera around full circle slowly. On film, behind subject, a crowd of 37 countable figures stand silently. Features are unidentifiable and they are lacking the blue tinge that dominates the landscape. Panic breaks in control again but subject notes only oddity is being the cable having an angled path. Subject tugs his end of the cable, it is taut and does not move. Control begins to reel in the pulley system and slack rapidly winds. Watching the angled cable, movement can be seen as grass is disturbed further down the angled portion from the reeling in. Then the line vibrates as it meets resistance and emits a twang from the recoil. Subject's camera pans back a long length of cable which now appears to slowly be allowing more slack before suddenly all slack is returned and pulley system begins again. Control requests subject return following cable path and screams are caught on the audio with panic from subject. Five shots fired as subject aims pistol at something not visible on camera. Control reports being able to see subject returning toward point of origin while camera shows wire disappearing into a point floating in the air. As subject passes this point, all cable is now in the pulley system and camera films only the floor. Control reports that the mirror took approximately five seconds to return to a reflection and SCP-093 remained blue in color until one hour after being recovered from subject. A vile smelling fluid was present on subject's clothes around his hands when firearm was recovered. This fluid dried quickly and was deemed insignificant of study due to lack of quality sample. Control personnel monitoring the mirror state having seen a massive human being crawling on the ground easily 50 times the size of a normal person with no facial features and a very short arm reach pulling itself toward the mirror before it returned to a reflection. Due to proximity, fine details could not be made out but at least one observer noted the being appeared to have been shot from the marks in the otherwise smooth, featureless face. Field test kit recovered from subject containing a newspaper article that reads, data expunged and was filed as item data expunged. The next test is classified as the green test. Mirror test two, color green. Subject is D54493, female, 23 years of age, average physique. Subject's background shows instance of grand theft auto and second degree murder of two children during escape with vehicle. Subject is cooperative in all steps of testing. Subject entered the provided mirror while holding SCP-093 which emitted a green color. Outside, technicians observed that the mirror retained a true reflection until subject had completely passed into it. At which time, the view changed to a farming landscape heavily tinged in green similar to the first test. Video feed follows an attached media. Camera activates, flickers to view. Subject is looking out over the same farmland reported by technicians. All greens through video feed are deeper and green tinge overlays the normal colors of objects similar to the blue tinge in test one. No landmarks from test one are discernible as subject pants camera over area. Present is a field, long abandoned, in the middle of which stands the remains of a scarecrow of unknown design. Fragments left are rotted and torn. Nothing grows in the tilled land. A farmhouse is visible to the right of the field, large, two stories. A basement shelter entrance is visible at one end. Subject prepares her sidearm immediately and is asked by control to relax before proceeding, her heavy breathing dominating the audio feed. Subject takes a few minutes and announces that she's fine, then proceeds as directed to walk the perimeter of the farmhouse. Children's bicycles, two, a boys and girls, lay against the house near the shelter doors. One of the doors to the shelter lay in the grass, torn from the entrance, as evidenced by splintering wood. On the stairs lay clothes, arranged in a descending order, shoes to shirt going down them, belonging to a boy. Subject begins screaming at control asking if this is some sort of sick joke. Control assures her they have never seen this environment either, and to please calm down. Subject takes several minutes to regain herself before continuing. It is unknown if SCP-093 is linking the subject's past with her landscape. After several minutes, subject agrees to continue. Communication to subject is muted, and conversation of control making commentary about subject's jittery attitude to make up audio for one and a half minutes. Communication restored as subject reaches bottom of stairs. The cellar of the farmhouse is unremarkable and typical. Several wooden shelves line the far wall containing unidentified canned substances. Broken light fixtures sway gently from support beams. Camera is panned across the basement slowly. No evidence of footprints are visible, and the basement can be assumed to have been abandoned for some time. Subject begins to comment about a stench. As subject pans the area, a metal hatch is visible in the ground, similar to a bulkhead on a submarine with a turn handle. Subject remarks that the smell is at its worst around the hatch, and the dirt around the hatch is noted as being clumped and clay-like. The handle of the hatch is old, and the paint chipped. Subject coerced into turning the handle which, when fully turned, opens the hatch. Subject begins coughing at the release of assumed old stale air. When camera is tilted to view down the hatch, it is a white concrete tunnel, similar to the one found in the Blue Experiment, but in much better condition. Subject asks to descend the ladder and close hatch behind her. After some convincing, subject agrees to descend, but does not close the hatch. Overlooked concerns about severing the pulley return system and doing so are acknowledged. Descent down the ladder and trip to the farmhouse has consumed approximately 53 meters of cable when bottom is reached. The inside of the hatch appears to be a bunker, ill-suited to long-term storage. It is spacious, about half the size of the actual cellar itself, containing three bunks, one for a couple, and two for single use. Several boxes of food similar to those found during Blue marked as cereal fill a waste container near the hatch bottom. On the beds are two skeletons, and on the floor is a third, lying next to which is a simple six-shooter revolver containing no ammunition. Three spent casings are across the floor near the gun. On the other side of this skeleton is a bound book in good condition. This is retrieved and placed into a field kit container upon request. The gun is left alone, per request from control. Subject examines more of the bunker, focusing on a desk where a newspaper has been cut and is in good condition. The clipped articles are recovered using a field kit container. Little else of interest to be brought back is in the bunker as the camera is panned around. Trash bags containing clothing, a few children's toys resembling popular 1950s-era products are lined against the wall. Subject is requested to leave the bunker and then sharply asked to wait by a control technician who directs the camera view to an area near the exiting doorway to the hatch. Closer inspection as subject moves in finds that a small area has been fitted with what appears to be an Ethernet jack, the cover of which has been forced slightly away from the wall by a strange amber-like substance. Subject refuses to touch or collect a sample, commenting that it stinks so bad that if they want it they can come get it themselves. Control declines and subject leaves bunker. As subject grips ladder to leave, the camera pans up for a moment and at the top of the tunnel a humanoid figure is seen peering down. Control asks subject to confirm figure, subject states nothing is up there and begins to climb. Figure draws out of camera view after first rung is touched by subject, who ascends without incident. At the top of the tunnel, no other life is seen, nothing has been disturbed. Subject insists nothing was there and closes the hatch, then immediately vomits. Subject coughs and uses a supplied water bottle to gargle, then freezes and asks if control is hearing that. Control reports no audio. Subject approaches seller hatch cautiously with firearm drawn and lifts her head just enough so camera can view outside area. In the distance, approximately 700 meters from the farm, two massive humanoid beings are crawling across the landscape. The entities do not notice the subject, who remains quiet but whose drawn sidearm is visibly trembling. Subject requested to remain still and silent as beings move. They are featureless, facing at an angle moving across the field of vision so the faces are only visible for a few moments. During this time, it is clear they have no facial features. The arms they use to drag themselves are short at times and long at others, stretching out the varying lengths each time they move. There is no rear area to the beings, all bodily design appears to end at the torso. The two creatures take approximately 10 minutes to disappear into the distance before the subject begins to panic and begs to return. Request declined. Subject instructed to enter the home from the seller and not to leave the home under any circumstances. The first floor is entered through a hatch in the ceiling or floor that opens with rusty creaks that cause subject to pause for 37 seconds before continuing upward and entering a kitchen. A heavy layer of dust coats all items in the kitchen. The refrigerator is left open, all food is spoiled. A adjacent the kitchen is a living area that subject enters slowly. There is a recliner, a couch and a television, all of 1950s style design. In the recliner is a laptop whose case also resembles 1950s decor and is coated in heavy dust. Opening the laptop reveals the last moments of its operating system, faithful OS, leaving a standby mode and immediately shutting off. Laptop has no external power source and will not power back on. When asked to recover laptop, it brings the cushion of the recliner with it, the two stuck together. Subject advised to leave laptop where it is. The inside door leaving the home is nailed shut with thick wood planks, no attempts made to interact with these. Camera view pans to a staircase leading up stairs. Subject ascends the stairs without being asked and the stairs remain silent to control surprise. When subject reaches top of stairs, a hallway with two doors is viewed, one on each side and at the end of the hall, a dumbwaiter is unlaid into the wall. Subject opens door on left on her own, which opens to a master bedroom. The bed is neatly made, but the wardrobe next to it is thrown open and clothes are everywhere on the floor. Subject finds laid out on the bed several pieces of jewelry and is informed to leave them. Subject begins to protest, then comments they stink and leaves them alone, promptly leaving the room. Subject asked to open second door. The second door opens and gives a view of a shared children's bedroom, obviously boy and girl given the types of toys and clothes scattered on the floor. There is also a window, which subject approaches and wipes with a curtain to clear dust. Subject requested to move camera to window and does so. The farmland is visible and approximately 40 kilometers from it, at best guess, a city. As the camera starts to draw back, it pans down and films the area around the house. Approximately 300 figures, similar to those from the footage captured during blue test, are visible around the home, all staring up. Subject asked to confirm figures, but states nothing is there. Subject requested to return and quickly agrees. Egress from the house is uneventful, pulley system shows no erratic behavior. As subject returns to point of pulley wires origin, a loud groaning noise causes the picture to reverberate. Technicians at control report they were also able to hear the noise and experience the vibration. Subject returns through point of origin without investigation and mirror returns to reflective surface. SCP-093 relinquished. Video ends. Return to newspaper fragments filed as... The next test is classified as the Violet Test. Mirror Test 3. Color. Violet. Subject is D-84930, male, 21 years of age, average physique. Subject's background shows instance of second-degree murder of a police officer during a drug bust. Normally this crime, while severe, would not qualify a person for a sentence that would end up with us, but the murder of the officer was especially brutal and excessive violence was used. This subject was uncooperative and had to be reminded that his cooperation would only benefit him. Subject entered the provided mirror while holding SCP-093, which emitted a violet color. Outside technicians observed that the mirror retained a true reflection until subject had completely passed into it, at which time the view changed to a cityscape, urban, lightly tinged in purple, similar to the first test. Video feed follows an attached media. Camera flickers to life and pans around the area. Subject is in what appears to be a modern downtown district, similar to a city like New York. The streets are mostly bare, except for a few cars of unknown maker model. These cars look highly advanced and streamlined. Subject attempts to look into the car windows without being instructed to, but backs away, remarking there is a rank-ass stank coming from the areas around most of them. Subject is persuaded to move closer to one car and does so with coughing, wiping off a window which is covered in dirt. The inside of the car appears to be completely filled with a strange brown matter. There is nothing at all visible other than the brown matter. Two other cars produce the same results. However, a fourth vehicle seems more recent than the others, and the insides are immaculate. The doors to this vehicle also are unlocked, and Subject quickly gets inside, then shuts the doors. Subject is chastised for this behavior by Control, who reminds him his lifeline is nothing more than a cable, which is sturdy enough that closing the car door does not injure it, but they cannot recover a person in motion. Subject argues with Control over this issue and pans the camera across the dashboard, pointing out he couldn't drive away even if he tried. The dashboard is void of any recognizable controls, no ignition, no steering. It has several small blank screens that are theorized to be a GPS system. Subject remains in the car while Control discusses how to proceed, since the city landscape is far larger than the previous test destinations. Control debates this issue while Subject stares around the cityscape from the car. During one pan, a face is clearly seen staring into the car, eyes watching the subject. However, this was not noticed until post-test footage review. Subject made no comment regarding this entity at any point. Control shortly after informs Subject to remain where he is, and an escort team is dispatched through the mirror to join him. A team of four armed personnel is sent through the mirror and proceeds to Subject's location. Subject is then instructed to remove his harness, which is recovered. This Subject's video feed then ends and is replaced by a wireless unit used by the escort team. The video quality on this unit is subject to more interference, but in order to mark the mirror exit, a receiver system is placed through the mirror. Subject leaves the car and now travels with the escort team. Given the myriad of possible options, they are instructed to simply move to the closest building and attempt to enter it. This building has etched glass doors bearing the name XEA Research Partners, Inc., and the doors are ajar. A magnetic lock system is present, but has lost power. Team enters the building in main lobby. This area resembles a stereotypical corporate lobby. There is a C-shaped receptionist desk with a chair pushed far from it, as if it was left in a hurry. A PC terminal is at the desk as well. Team approaches the desk, and the camera bearer is instructed to examine the PC. The unit does appear to have power, and faithful OS appears on the screen, requesting a login and password. A keyboard is present, but is remarkably slim, with touch-sensitive keys rather than pressed-down keys. After one failed attempt, the locked screen replies that maximum attempts have been exceeded, and the PC turns off. No actual tower or power button can be located, so team moves forward. Behind the receptionist desk are two elevator doors. One to the left, and one to the right, with similar touch-sensitive keys. The elevator on the left is broken. The door open and the shaft empty. The elevator on the right appears functional, and has power. Without a clear destination, the team is instructed to proceed to the highest floor to get a lay of the city. All floors appear to be accessible, with the highest being 114, in reality 112, as 13 and 113 are missing from the keypad. Journey up the elevator is uneventful during this time. The elevator does appear to take longer as it passes by 13 and then 113, suggesting that entire floor was built, and nothing put on it. At 114, the door is open, and team enters a large lounge-type area. There are many couches with dust on them. A widescreen apparently LCD TV of approximately 60 plus inches in size dominates the wall in front of them, with no power. A series of windows are open, allowing in sunlight at the far end, to which the team proceeds and angles the camera outside. The view of the city is astonishing. This building is one of the tallest visible, but certainly not alone in its stature. The city below is gray and silent, no evidence of life at this altitude. Some buildings in this city have a strange brown growth that appears to have been splashed against them, as if a gelatinous mass was flung and then seeped down before hardening. Other buildings have floors where the glass has been shattered, and the same brown substance is seeping out the edges. One member of the team calls the camera bearer to the windows on the other side. From the other side of the building, the city edges can be seen. Attention is pointed toward an expressway that encircles the city, upon which crawls another of the large half-body humanoids, dragging itself with its elastic arms as witnessed in previous tests. It travels the highway, then moves out of sight. The team returns to the elevator, and notes that a button has already been activated for floor 74. No one has approached the elevator, so the team agrees to travel to this floor. On the 74th floor, the doors open and reveal a waiting area to what appears to be a doctor's office. At the reception desk, there is a sign-in sheet with a series of names and dates. The dates on the sign-in sheet all carry the year 1953. A PC at the receptionist area is on and functioning at a user desktop. The background for the PC is a large set of praying hands, with the word faithful OS under them. On the desktop are a series of folders with years on them, containing files that, when clicked using the center button of the mouse, open to a word viewer. All files appear to be appointment information. On the desk is a notepad titled, From the desk of Dr. Boris Iski, Blessed Purificationist. The door to the doctor's area is sketched with the same name and title, as well as a crucifix. Opening this door leads to a white dust-free hallway that has two examination rooms and a key-coated door at the end. The examination rooms are unremarkable and typical of any doctor's office. All medicine cabinets are empty. A small amount of C4 is placed at the lock to the key-coated door at the request of control, and then blown, forcing the door open. The area it opens into is much larger than the reception area itself, and seems to contain a series of large containment capsules. There are a total of six of these capsules, two are broken, and a brownish amber material coats the floor coming from them. One is empty. The last three have nude humans floating in them, with breathing masks. Attached to the front of these tubes are medical charts, showing vital signs and conditions. For symptoms, the charts explain in somewhat awkward English ailments that seem more like flaws of personality or character, or just incidents that have occurred with the patient. Control asks for a zoom of one of the patient pages on the chart. After focusing, it reads, Citizen Jennifer McZerca did suffer a lapse of the heart that did lead her to lay with her neighbor twice, upon nights of her husband's departure from their home. Patient did submit herself into the Lord's and our hands for cleansing of mind and body. Prayer administered by High Father Uwalaqid, and patient submitted to a three-day period in the Lord's tears to cleanse her system, then released in good spirits. The topmost page reads, Citizen Alberius Ferefan struck out at a high father during a sermon, blaspheming that the Lord's tears did turn his daughter to be unright in mind and heart, thusly laying blame for her hourish activities at the feet of the High Father and his blessing. With no proof of these blasphemies, the forgiving judge and the punishing judge did agree that Alberius Ferefan should bathe in the Lord's tears himself for a week to be cleansed of mind and soul. Thus to prove his daughter's ways are fault of not the Father's hands and to give him peace of self. Subject who has been traveling quietly with the escort team now begins to panic. The camera pans to focus on him, and he is surrounded by entities similar to those witnessed in the first two tests. Escort team reports in that subject is having a panic attack, but control requests them to stand still and wait. Subject screams at the entities, which are denied to exist by team commander, stating subject is alone in the corner. Control requests that one team member be dispatched to approach and recover the subject. The escort team member approaches the subject as ordered. On the video, the figures part to make a pathway for the approaching member, who lifts subject to his feet and brings him out of the corner. Figures on video are then seen closing ranks to close the path. Subject is lifted to his feet by an arm and escorted through the figures that close their ranks when the subject is moved. They remain steadfastly staring at the subject, no matter where he moves to. Control requests the team to return now. Team turns to leave. Before leaving, a team member mentions something noticed at the reception desk, a binder labeled The Lord's Tears. Control requests binder be returned as well, and it is stowed into subject's field kit. The team returns to the elevator and returns to the ground floor. Upon leaving the building, subject points down the street towards direction of entry point. The camera pans to a section of raised expressway, across which one of the large torsos is crawling slowly. The entity turns its featureless head to look at the escort team, raises its head to the sky and emits a bellowing sound. Team leader issues the order to move, heading for the spot marked by the wireless video receiver. The creature on the expressway extends an arm down that stretches to touch the ground. Before the camera moves to the port, all team members save one move through entry point. Subject moves through entry point and mirror returns to reflective surface. SCP-093 is dropped by subject, who panics and tries to fight his way out of the room. Subject is terminated by team leader after he draws the field kit pistol. Team leader requests portal be reopened, but it takes several minutes to find someone who can hold SCP-093 and generate a similar color. When a matching color is displayed and applied to the mirror, the video receiver is visible and all individuals report a horrific smell. Team leader moves through the entryway with control person running. The uniform and possessions of the escort team member who was left behind are present and recovered, but the member himself is nowhere to be seen and does not respond to shouts. Member assumed KIA and wireless receiver recovered. Control and escort return through entry point and mirror returns to reflective surface. Later review of the recovered camera shows escort member grasping at the air where entry point should be and then turning to look up at the oversized torso. A brown gel seems to drip off the creature as it moves that disappears shortly after being dislodged as if evaporating. Several shots are fired at the creature's face that land in the face of the creature, causing a spray of less viscous brown liquid to pour forth from the wounds. Screams obscenities as the face of the creature descends upon him and the camera is pushed to the ground. Camera feed remains dark for approximately 65 seconds before light comes back and the camera films the creature crawling back to the expressway and pulling itself onto it then crawling in the direction it was originally headed. Believed to have been absorbed by the creature and perhaps digested, this may have been an example of how these unknown entities feed by direct contact with living material. Further study is recommended to be avoided on this issue. The next test is classified as the yellow test. Mirror test 4. Color. Yellow. D-class subjects no longer authorized for testing. Testing focus has been shifted to data collection after analyzing the articles brought back from the previous three tests to better understand the fate of the world accessed by SCP-093 and determine if safeguards or practices are required for our own world. Analysis of the brown fluid on the clothing of the lost escort team member has been filed with other recovered articles. Dr. Warrant has volunteered for this test. As out of the possible candidates, he was able to cause SCP-093 to undergo a new color change. There is no evidence in said doctor's background of any illegal or criminal behavior nor of any psychological problems. When presented to the mirror, the view changed to that of a cubicle office environment. For this test, Dr. Warrant opted to use the wireless video system and forego the pulley return system, stating he was confident he would be safe as none of the torso creatures have been witnessed within a building where the mirror's destination showed. Video feed commences after the doctor has crossed the mirror. As with prior tests, SCP-093's current color, yellow, tinges all video material. Camera flickers to life and pans across a series of plain white cubicle constructs. Approximately 30 are visible. At the far end from the point of entry is an office module built into the wall with frosted glass and a glass door. Dr. Warrant approaches this door and investigates the etched writing on it. Senior manager Stanley Milamitz, the door is unlocked. Dr. Warrant enters the office and examines the desk. A coffee cup is on the desk, a dark brown stain covering half of the inside as the liquid evaporated. There is a donut on a plate which the doctor picks up and lobs at a wall. On impact, it thumps like a rock and falls. A file cabinet in the corner of the room draws the doctor's attention and he goes through each shelf one at a time, stopping in the second drawer and taking out a file, then going back to the first and taking out two others. Continuing to the third and fourth drawers, he withdraws four additional files and spreads them all out on the desk. The files are blue filing folders and he points with his finger and camera at a symbol on each of praying hands, stating aloud for the camera that all other files are stored in yellow folders. The blue folders are placed in his field kit. Camera attention is turned to the PC on the desk that is logged in and functional. Dr. Warrant comments aloud, wondering where these devices are getting their power from, as he noticed no power outlets. This PC's desktop contains the logo of faithful OS and even has sounds. Clicks of the mouse followed by soft hymn-like hums, an opening of icons followed by angelic bells. The PC fails to yield any useful information to Dr. Warrant, who abandons it and leaves the office. Approaching the other end of the office floor, the doctor presses a button on the wall for the elevator and enters, finding he's on the 34th floor of a building having an unusual number scheme. The keypad layout goes from negative 115 to 115 and includes all floors. Before pressing a floor button, Dr. Warrant requests that the wireless video transponder be moved to the elevator and replaced with a construction cone to mark the entry point. A second transponder unit is placed outside the elevator and control is instructed to recover the second unit and seal the test chamber should something happen to him. Then, when all is arranged, he presses the button for floor negative 115. The descent down the elevator is long, consuming 15 minutes. During this time, the camera experiences one malfunction where the image jerks and turns to snow, restoring to show 14 other figures in the elevator with the doctor as video pans around, all of whom move as he moves to allow him space. They remain for 35 seconds, then the camera flickers to snow and returns. The doctor is now alone in the elevator dancing, as is assumed by the ducks and sways of the video feed. Dr. Warrant pauses to comment on a rising stench coming from below. At this point, the elevator has reached floor negative 108. The doctor presses negative 110 to interrupt the descent down and exits when that floor is reached. The elevator doors open to an enclosed observation deck with several PCs and chairs. All PCs appear to have power. The ceiling to this deck is also glass, and above it, another deck is visible. Dr. Warrant approaches the monitoring stations and checks one of the PC screens. On the screen is the faithful OS logo and a video feed toggling between four different views. The first view is a room of tubes, similar to those found in test violet, which number in the thousands. The second view is a closer up view of these tubes, as a camera glides in front of each to monitor the contents. All tubes the camera passes by are broken. The third view is facing the opposite direction, as a camera glides vertically, checking each observation station. A total of 10 can be counted, and the doctor is visible as the camera passes by his own station. Looking up, a hovering camera unit with no visible means of propulsion glides up past him. The fourth view shows the ground floor below the observation deck, where a single astonishingly large torso being is crawling in circles, bumping into walls and changing directions. From the camera feed, the creature's estimated size is six stories. Returning attention to the contents of the PC, Dr. Warrant moves the video log aside to see a simple text editor that was hidden behind it. A printout of this text was recovered and filed in the field kit. The printout directed the doctor to a safe on floor 54 and provided a combination. He leaves the observation deck and proceeds to 54 without event, arriving on a cubicle office floor. He proceeds to the desk mentioned in the document and finds a safe hidden beneath a desk undisturbed. The combination provided opens the safe and reveals a notebook filed in the field kit and a peculiar revolver in addition to the 24 rounds of ammo found with it. Dr. Warrant proceeds back to the elevator without event and returns to 34. Given the sheer number of floors available to explore and the vital information obtained from the observation deck, the test is considered over and equipment is retrieved. Before returning through the entry point, Dr. Warrant investigates a terminal nearby that has power and finds it shows the exact same screen the one on negative 110 shows. It is theorized that the author of the note installed a network virus to propagate it through the building so any PC on that network would be found and the information discovered. The doctor returns through the entry point and the mirror returns to a reflective surface. All materials filed with other SCP-093 recovered materials. Analysis of the revolver and the ammunition for it postponed for a reason that it would require deconstruction of one of the rounds and they may be beneficial until testing of SCP-093 is resolved. Video ends. The next test is classified as the red test. SCP-093 Mirror Test 5 Color Red SCP-093 distributed amongst staff until a new color could be generated by contact with it. One of the service technicians was able to cause SCP-093 to take on a fierce red hue and glow, much brighter than the object's normal color. He agreed to assist with a test of SCP-093. For Dr. Williams' request, data expunged given to technician for use in this test. When applied to the mirror for the test, SCP-093 generates an unknown environment. No color tinge appears present on the display destination, which is comprised of red stonework. The technician enters the mirror and video capture begins. Video flickers to life and the technician, known hereafter as Subject, is viewing a large cylindrical pillar that is rotating on its own. Object is of unknown height and appears to be 1.8 meters or 6 feet in width. Holes are distributed throughout the object at seemingly random intervals. On occasion, a beam of white light is emitted from those holes. Turning of the camera finds that the beams are connected to a multitude of objects similar to SCP-093 that are part of the room's wall. The room turns out to also be cylindrical in shape with countless copies of SCP-093. Subject turns back to entry point and finds it is a section of the wall that is missing its copy of SCP-093, presumably the one carried with Subject. Other sections of the wall on inspection are also found to be missing their copies, leading to speculation that this may be some sort of central array. Subject finds a ladder in the floor while examining the room and proceeds down it at control's request. The ladder exits into a large clean room full of computer equipment that appears antiquated compared to previously encountered equipment. Large computers running on reel-to-reels are clicking and spinning at various locations. A light bulb of unknown means turns on for 10 seconds, then turns off. A large CRT monitor is displaying single words in 8 colors at roughly 5 second intervals. While observed, the words clean, unclean, clean, clean, lost, unclean, flash on the screen. Proceeding through the room, it ends in a large glass window as another observation deck. This deck looks out over another series of tubes, as witnessed before, but far fewer, and filled with a blue liquid. What appears to be electrical current dances over many of the tubes at erratic intervals. At least 5 tubes at first glance are empty and broken. At the observation window, a keyboard is present on a pedestal, awaiting a selection to be made. The options available on the screen are tube status, which waits for a numerical input, reports, situation X549, situation X550, evacuation log, agent report, and facility fire plan, video expunged. All selections that generated text were transcribed by subject, and verified by a control member, who passed through the portal to recover them. This process took approximately 2 hours, and video feed was deleted to condense this report. Recorded documents are filed as data expunged. Video interrupted. Control lost contact with subject approximately 30 minutes after departure of control tech. Subject was asked to remain in area, and observe the machinery and the containment room to make observations for debriefing. The SCP-093 mirror portal returned to a reflective surface prematurely, and all video contact with subject was lost. Control was unable to re-establish due to SCP-093 being across the mirror. A time lapse of 1 minute and 48 seconds was recorded before mirror portal re-established itself, and subject returned through portal. Subject appeared to be in good health and condition, despite the time loss, but spoke little. During immediate debriefing, subject underwent sudden convulsions, and medical staff was alerted. While attempting to subdue subject, he displayed enhanced strength, and used data expunged to shoot one of the debriefing staff, killing them. Guards shot subject once with a sidearm in the heart, and once in the chest, but subject did not fall. All staff evacuated room, and a second shot was fired by subject, which missed. A more heavily armed team entered debriefing room, and used automatic weapons to dispatch subject. Reports confirmed that subject did not bleed when shot, but instead leaked a green-brown substance that seemed to be a mix of solution observed in some containment tubes, and the material recovered during test 3. All further SCP-093 tests have been discontinued, while review of materials recovered is in effect. A secondary tape recording device was found to have activated in the field kit, after loss of video feed, and its contents have been filed with other recovered materials. All recovered materials from SCP-093 testing are level 4 classification, where lease must be approved by no fewer than two level 4 personnel. Item number SCP-301 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-301 is to be kept in a secure, electromagnetically sealed bunker, buried under at least 10 meters of earth to conceal its location. The bunker is to be staffed by no fewer than four level 3 security personnel at all times, in order to secure the site, and to maintain automated security measures. The perimeter of the bunker is to be lined with a chain-link fence, with official warnings to deter intruders. Due to the remote location of SCP-301, additional security is not required. During experimentation, all research staff and equipment must maintain a minimum distance of at least three meters from the projected edge of SCP-301. In the event of a containment breach, on-site personnel with the proper security clearance are authorized to implement emergency protocol C-301. All possible entrances to the bunker will automatically seal themselves, and remain sealed indefinitely. Emergency protocol C-301 can only be countermanded by an 05 level command. Description SCP-301 is an anomalous region roughly three meters in diameter, located in the middle of... National Park. Whenever physical matter enters SCP-301, it temporarily disappears from existence. Following a delay of variable length, the matter that had entered SCP-301 will appear in another location. The duration of this time delay is variable, with a minimum length of... seconds, and a maximum length of... minutes. The exact destination appears to be a random vertex point on a geodesic grid over laying the Earth's surface. Each leg of this pattern is approximately 20 kilometers long, resulting in... possible destination points. The prevailing model of SCP-301's workings is that teleportation occurs by accessing a coterminous interspatial region, lying in a frame of reference attached to the center of the Earth. SCP-301 is invisible to the naked eye, but is detectable through other spectra. SCP-301 also passively emits electromagnetic energy, while not harmful to living organisms. It does interfere with improperly shielded electronics, and may explain why the native fauna does not venture near SCP-301. Through experimentation, it has been discovered that SCP-301 can accommodate any kind of physical matter with certain size thresholds. The maximum size object that SCP-301 can accommodate can be no larger than SCP-301's three meter diameter. There is also a minimum limit, though this is based on density rather than size. Currently, most gases and anything on a molecular level are not affected by SCP-301. For further details, see the experiment logs. SCP-301 was discovered when there was a spike in disappearances of hikers and tourists in said National Park, only for several of them to be rediscovered far from the site of their disappearance. The foundation did not act until it received reports of one of the missing hikers being found in France, and another near New South Wales, Australia. Subsequent interviews with these individuals produced inconsistent descriptions of the event, even after the use of SCP-301A1 retrieved in France, described the transfer as a floating sensation with a mild forward impetus, accompanied by the ringing of thousands of huge bells and smelling like wet dog and wood smoke, but having no other sensory components. However, Subject 301A2, retrieved near New South Wales, Australia, described it as a floating sensation with no sense of forward momentum, but including a salty taste, prickling feeling like a foot going to sleep over the entire body and being able to see stringy stuff surrounding the subject. Both subjects were administered a Class A amnestic and released. While searching for the anomaly at said National Park, Agents S and R accidentally entered SCP-301. They disappeared for approximately f***ing minutes, until the signals from their locator beacons were reacquired f***ing kilometers and f***ing kilometers from their last recorded position respectively. Agent S's body was recovered by a deep water retrieval team, 43 km south-south-west of India. Agent R was recovered near Angola, suffering from exposure, malaria, and amoebic dysentery. Foundation personnel were able to debrief Agent R before he died. Agent R characterized the teleportation experience as being swept by a strong current at that stank of f*** it. He also stated that he saw flames and reported hearing sand falling and tasting sugar, then dirt in a repeating cycle. Agent R died two days later. Based on the agent's testimony, SCP-301 was found to be located on a regularly used hiking trail. The Foundation rerouted the hiking trail and built the current facility containing SCP-301. From information gathered from subjects 301A1 and 301A2 and Agent R, it appears that the interspatial region accessed upon entering SCP-301 is experienced differently by each subject. This experience can manifest as a wide variety of sensory phenomena, including tactile, gustatory, olfactory, visual, oral, and kinetic sensations. Experimentation with Class D personnel to further study this aspect of SCP-301 is recommended. A selection of post-experiment analyses are collected in Experiment Log 301C. Experiment Log 301A. Using remote exploration in conjunction with ongoing live experimentation, we have managed to map out much of the geodesic grid that SCP-301 teleportation follows. While this has resulted in the discovery of a large number of sites that require foundation monitoring, many of these sites are in locations that make monitoring them a moot point, i.e. the dozens of egress points that open in the middle of the ocean. Doctor R. Experiment Log 301B. After increasing the size of test materials, we finally found that SCP-301 cannot accommodate items larger than itself. If a piece of matter that exceeds SCP-301's 3 meter diameter is placed on SCP-301, there will be no effect. This has been noted for future containment protocols. There is also a minimum limit for what SCP-301 can accommodate. We've filled the containment room with easily detectable gases, as well as bombarding SCP-301 with radioactive particles. However, there is no evidence of any of these substances being successfully transported. The prevailing hypothesis is that SCP-301's minimum limit is based on density rather than size. Solids and liquids are affected while gases and individual molecules are not. Doctor R. Experiment Log 301C. Entries include subject identification number, egress point, and trip duration, followed by a listing of major sensory elements of the teleportation experience. Note that, for recovery purposes, all test subjects are equipped with a remote beacon harness that reports the subject's GPS coordinates to a foundation satellite every 15 seconds from anywhere on Earth.

Due to the precise timing and coordination required for efficient use of this object in an emergency, all personnel entering SCP-120's building are placed under temporary conditions. Due to the precise timing and coordination required for efficient use of this object in an emergency, all personnel entering SCP-120's building are placed under temporary command of the facility heads. Captain. Security Detachment L-4. And Dr. Research Team L-4. All destination locations are to be kept under surveillance and armed guard. They are valuable to the foundation, but are non-critical. But any compromised destination must be immediately reported to SCP-120 personnel. Distributed Task Force Sigma-6, Puddle Jumpers, was created with the objective of protecting and maintaining SCP-120's facility and location outposts. It consists of one command unit and one defense and maintenance unit based at the SCP-120 facility. Five units based at the destination locations, plus five reserve units for these, and five units assigned to other SCP-120 related projects. Description. SCP-120 appears to be a small child's paddling pool, pastel pink in coloration, with an inner diameter of approximately 2.5 meters, an inner height of 0.3 meters. The pool appears to have been fabricated from common earth plastics, but has shown itself to be indestructible by any attempted means. The pool's structure and response to pressure are typical for such a pool. It will flex when pressure is applied and is soft to the touch, but has amazing tensile strength and cannot be permanently stretched or ripped. What is constrained within the pool seems to be a brightly glowing colored liquid-like substance, which seems to exist only partially in our dimension. It is unresponsive to manipulation by organic or inorganic means, but the substance ripples and shimmers systematically and regularly, suggesting it exists physically on another dimension. SCP-120's most interesting and useful property is used regularly by Foundation personnel. Human beings, when alive and carrying loads, including clothing under 37.8 kilograms, are observed to fall through the pool and are deposited at one of 11 destinations. The item will only function in this way if certain conditions are met. The subject must be genetically human, the subject must be conscious, the subject must be carrying weights of under the specified amount, and only one subject must be present on the surface. Test subjects attempting to use SCP-120 while these conditions were not met reported their feet making contact with a smooth surface underneath the liquid, but no significant effects were observed. SCP-120's main use is as a potential means of evacuation for command during a major emergency. It is currently stored and maintained in a fortified outbuilding of this facility. SCP-120 was first brought to the attention of Foundation authorities on 3108 1992. Local police authorities in California were investigating reports of missing children in their jurisdiction and discovered and reported the item on 3108. Overwatch Command was automatically informed through the usual channels and a small team of Foundation agents was dispatched to claim and transport the item to Site-19 where it remained for testing over the next two years. It was transferred to its present location at Command- in 1994.

Subjects using the item are invariably deposited at one of the most important locations in the world. Subjects using the item are invariably deposited at one of 11 locations. These locations cycle in a specific and unchanging pattern. The 11 destinations in their locations were determined through testing with class D personnel carrying radio beacons. Location 1. Pacific Ocean SCP-120's liquid displays a blue glow while connected to this destination. Subjects attempting travel to this destination are deposited an average of 2 meters above the surface of the Pacific. Latitude and longitude undisclosed. A foundation ship, SCP-S Demeter, publicly the USS Nassau, a meteorological ship, is currently stationed at this location and personnel arriving through use of SCP-120 materialize inside the ship's cargo hold. Sensitive foundation material or personnel can be sent here in an emergency and the ship has provisions for storage of low-threat SCP objects should the need arise. Class D personnel used to dial SCP-120 can be confined and extracted by a helicopter or reused or simply terminated and their bodies retained in storage. The original Class D and radio transmitter used to determine this location were lost at sea and might have to be recovered in the interest of secrecy if they were to wash up on populated shores. This configuration of SCP-120 was arbitrarily designated as number one and has no observable significance above other configurations. Destinations 2 through 11 follow in sequential order after this configuration and return to it after a full cycle. Travel by SCP-120 to this location is not advisable during storms due to risk of injury. Location 2, Greenland. SCP-120 displays a bright white glow while dialed to this destination. Subjects traveling to this destination materialize 1.5 meters above the surface of Greenland. Latitude and longitude undisclosed. A small facility was established here under the public pretense of oil industry expansion. This facility has similar capabilities and use to the demeter and is additionally equipped with an airstrip and refueling facilities. Location 3, L3. Located at the earth moon Lagrange 0.3 the SCP displays a deep black color. Objects and personnel sent through the SCP to any Lagrange point locations 3, 5, 8, 10 and 11 are effectively lost as retrieval is impossible at a current level of technology. They may prove a possible way to remove small but threatening SCP objects but for now are merely an inconvenience as sacrifice of D personnel is required to move the SCP to its next configuration. Location 4, Himalayas. SCP-120 displays a white glow similar to when it is dialed to location 2. Materialization occurs on a mountain in the Himalayan mountain range. Latitude and longitude undisclosed. Only minor changes have been made to the destination. The digging of an 8 meter hole for disposal of D-class bodies an overhead canopy for concealment and supplies and testing for evacuation to this location which should only take place in extreme circumstances. D-class personnel used for dialing are to be injected with a mixture of sedatives and neurotoxin before sending to ensure humane death and decrease risk of damage to the structures at location 4. Location 5, L5. Identical to location 3. Location 6, Sahara. SCP-120 will glow yellow. Personnel materialize in a small outpost. Latitude and longitude undisclosed. The need for secrecy renders this facility unable to house any significant SCP object but is ideal for evacuation of personnel and documents from command. Location 7, Gobi. SCP-120 displays a brown glow. This destination is located in a small outpost in the Gobi Desert. Latitude and longitude undisclosed but is otherwise identical to the location 6 outpost. Location 8, L2. Identical to location 3. Although shows more potential for SCP disposal being situated beyond the moon. Location 9, Merimbrium. The SCP displays a subdued gray glow when dialed into this destination. This destination is on a relatively flat section of the Sea of Reigns on the lunar surface. Through vast expenditure of money and D-class personnel, a small outpost has been established there and is considered one of the Foundation's safest locations. Location 10, L4. Identical to location 3. Location 11, L1. Identical to location 3. Item number, SCP-249. Object Class, Euclid. Special Containment Procedure. SCP-249 is affixed to a wall with incitement. Access to SCP-249 is unrestricted, though an accurate log of destinations must be kept and submitted to a level 4 supervisor every 4 weeks. No SCPs of any class may be brought or kept within 1,000 meters of SCP-249 without level 4 approval. Description. SCP-249 appears to be a windowless door covered in a faded white paint. It was first found in a house located within the small town of... When opened, SCP-249 does not lead to the other side of the doorway, but to a random door within 850 meters. Items that go through SCP-249 are teleported to that other door, regardless of what may be between the door and SCP-249. When observed from the destination, the exit door appears to open on its own accord, and whatever goes through SCP-249 appears out of thin air. When opened, SCP-249 takes on the appearance of the door it is connected to. When shut, SCP-249 is no longer connected to that door and reverts to its standard appearance. However, roughly every 500 uses, SCP-249 does not connect to a door within its range, but instead to a random location anywhere in the world, even locations with no apparent doors within hundreds of kilometers. When the 500 use mark approaches, common use of SCP-249 is stopped and tests are done to record its exit location. Since its discovery, a log has been kept documenting these cases. See Addendum 249001. Document 249A. In accordance to O5... All restrooms have been moved away from SCP-249's range. Addendum 249001. Teleportation log. 1210-19-1. SCP-249 is found and moved to Site- 246-19-1. Foundation agent goes missing and is found weeks later in Eastern Canada, describes random transportation. 1710-2000-1. Middle of what appears to be the Sahara Desert. 412-2000-1. Warehouse in a destroyed city. 252-2000-1. Madagascar. 175-2000-1. When opened, SCP-249 releases a massive torrent of water. A Foundation agent, who is holding the door handle, shuts the SCP before Site- is flooded. Later, a fish found on the ground is examined and identified as a species living only in the mid-Atlantic Deep Sea Trench. 2210-2000-1. Data Expunged. 1911-2000-1.
