Item #: SCP-782

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-782-1 and SCP-782-2 are stored in black polypropylene containment bags, shielded by an aluminium layer on their inside to prevent eavesdropping, and located in a titanium safe box, 30 x 30 x 10 cms in size at Site-19, secured with a biometric lock to be opened only for O5 clearance-level members and authorized researchers. Should a researcher need to investigate the SCP, authorization is required from personnel of Level 4 or above with L103 clearance for research activities. All experiments are to be supervised by Dr. ████████.

Description: SCP-782-1 and SCP-782-2 consist of two soft cover ruled pocket notebooks, brand █████████, 128 leaves each, 14 x 9 cm, written with blue-ink pen both in Norwegian and Spanish. They are almost completely filled with text, equations and diagrams authored by a presumed █████████ █████████. They were found at an abandoned property in ██ █████, Buenos Aires, Argentina by a couple of urban explorers on ██/█/1986. After containment by Reconnaissance Force Kappa-6, MTF Delta-5 and MTF Gamma-5, Ø-D12 neurological sanitization was implemented on the witnesses and analysis procedures were started at [DATA EXPUNGED].

Preliminary analysis stated that SCP-782-1 is a formal demonstration of a higher-dimensional time-space-[DATA EXPUNGED] plane (which was called E₁₂ by the author ) where, according to the equations on it, the human "consciousness" phenomena is located; as for the second main subject on SCP-782-1, it is the demonstration of what the author calls the ████ axis, a set of cartesian-like axes for locating a determinate subject's consciousness coordinates on the E₁₂ plane; this means knowing where somebody's consciousness is. SCP-782-2 is a continuation of the topics on SCP-782-1, it has some ethical considerations on it and focuses mainly on a set of equations that describes the relationship between the consciousness coordinates and "pre-facto paths" that allows to (quoting SCP-782-2) "see what a certain individual thought on a specific past time".

Further experimentation proved that these mathematical and physical equations are correct. The ██████ Research Group on █████████ has positively identified a higher-dimensional existence plane, where abstract entities [DATA EXPUNGED] humans, making possible conscious life as we know it. The SCP Foundation has already made contact with these lifeforms; it has been proven that they all are peaceful and willing to cooperate. Research and exploration of that space has started under SCP Foundation's memberboard approval, Dr. Ernst has been designed as SCP-782 Research Team Leader and started his duties on ██/█/1989. An E₁₂ CLC positioning device has been designed and prototyped, and the testing stage has finished; first industrial use is scheduled ██/██/ 2011. See Addendum I for proposed technologies based on SCP-782.

Addendum I - SCP-782-based technologies and uses being researched

• Consciousness Containment Chamber (3C). Use: isolation of deviant or dangerous SCPs' consciousness and containment in a extra-dimensional facility. Design phase started
• Memetic Behavior Nullifier (MBN) device. Use: since the consciousness is the base for memetic lifeforms to exist, it's been theorized that these can be either stopped or destroyed by removing their conscious support. Prototype designed
• Psychic data mining. Use: location and collection of hidden/blocked/forgotten information on an SCP or subject's consciousness using AI and computer algorithms. Research in progress
• E₁₂ metamaterial. Matter states are present on E₁₂ and samples had been materialized, although lacking of certain properties due to our space-time characteristics. Research in progress

UPDATE: the Foundation's memberboard has extended a memo on ██/██/2011 stating that, after the first scheduled field test of this technology, dedicated research must be done on the [DATA EXPUNGED] plane, since its understanding will help the SCP Foundation gain more resources and develop better containment/security procedures. Full cooperation from the lifeforms on the research is being pursued.]

Remnants of one of SCP-XXX's 52 shrines

Item #: SCP-XXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Site-78 encompasses the entirety of the areas of SCP-XXX that have not been submerged. The perimeter is to be surrounded by electric fence. 2 snipers are to be stationed at each guard tower during daylight hours, 3 during nighttime hours. SCP-XXX-1's quarters near the River Gate are to be guarded by 2 armed agents at all times. Personnel are authorized to administer Class C amnesiacs to any and all trespassers. Trespassers are to be taken to the police station in [REDACTED].

Description: SCP-XXX is an abandoned city located on and around an island ███ km southwest of [REDACTED] Province, Indonesia. Its total area is approximately 150 km². Foundation archaeologists estimate SCP-XXX was most likely built between ██████ and █████ BCE and collapsed between ████ and ████ BCE. Multiple ancient and medieval historians have made possible mention of SCP-XXX's destruction, including Thucydides and St. Bede (see Document CTE5-86).

The majority of SCP-XXX's structures are no longer standing. Remains of stairs, granite block foundations, and a few archways are still intact. At its height, the city was surrounded by stone walls and was divided into three districts: the temple district, the market district, and the housing district. SCP-XXX's largest structure, Temple 1, was the main center of worship. Two smaller temples (Temples 2 - 6) exist in each of SCP-XXX's districts, and 52 smaller shrines are found outside SCP-XXX's walls. Three of SCP-XXX's gates have been been destroyed, but the "Grey Gate" and the "River Gate" remain intact. The Grey Gate was apparently used for common people and the River Gate served as a harbor.

SCP-XXX's boundaries are marked by a disruption of electronic equipment, including but not limited to loss of function, shutdown, distortion or amplification of display devices, et cetera. Audio equipment within 3 km of Site-78 may sporadically experience incidental "white noise" signals across multiple frequencies.

SCP-XXX-1, a female humanoid, is the sole resident of SCP-XXX and the source of much of the information regarding SCP-XXX's history. XXX-1 speaks and writes an unknown language, and she has cooperated with Dr. Kipp and Researcher Liddell to create a word list with corresponding pictograms. XXX-1 resists shows of force by [DATA EXPUNGED]. XXX-1 will not attempt to leave Site-78 under any circumstances.

SCP-XXX-1 was [SECTION REMOVED BY O5 ORDER. CLEARANCE LEVEL 5 REQUIRED FOR ACCESS]

Addendum 1:

"It appears that the 'white noise' bursts audible over radio equipment are intensifying and growing in clarity. They're background noise like you'd hear in just about any major city… [For] the most part, they're just ambient sound, but they seem to actually be area specific. Major streets have the sound of many footsteps, occasionally what sounds like traffic. It's bizarre. We've even caught fragments of what sounds like speech in some places. The sounds get clearer every day. Soon, we may be able to [record] an understandable fragment…"

"…getting louder every day. [we] can hear the voices clearly. ██████'s translated a bit. It's mostly [DATA EXPUNGED] Lots of military chatter. Troop movements, that sort of thing. We can hear them drilling in some of the courtyards…"

"…it sounded like [DATA EXPUNGED] gunshots, but deeper."

Addendum 2: On ██/██/██, SCP-XXX-1 was interviewed within Site-78 by the Site Director, Dr. Kipp. XXX-1 was questioned about SCP-XXX. The following is a list of questions asked by Dr. Kipp and their answers, written by XXX-1. Translations and annotations were written by Researcher Liddell.

Please give a brief history of the city.
It was built for the people¹ by the sun². The others like you were jealous that they could not build a fine city themselves. The jealousy was a small problem at first. Over time it grew into a war. The people were strong, but the others numbered more. The others overwhelmed them in every battle.

[DATA EXPUNGED]

The sun cursed the others with a veil⁵ over their eyes, and the sun leapt from the sanctum. The sea swept over the ruins.

Why are you here?
I have been punished for my lack of faith.

How long have you lived in the city?
Many high tides. I do not count them.

Have you ever left?
No.

Are you capable of leaving?
I have been punished for my lack of faith.

Did humans look and behave differently from the way they do now?
They wore skins of creatures. They had no gods. They wanted to butcher the sun.

How many people would you estimate lived here at its peak?
There are ██████ of us.

Are you alone on the island?
There are ██████ of us.

Is the geography of the surrounding area any different today than when the city was populated?
There has always been the sea, but the city has not always been drowned⁶.

Our radio interference has been getting louder over the past few months. Do you have an explanation?
The sun will take back its creation.

¹ 'The people' refers to a specific ethnic group or tribe XXX-1 was a member of. They considered themselves separate and superior to other groups.

² The 'sun' is called this for lack of a better word in English. I can sum up the actual meaning as roughly 'personification of spiritual and intellectual enlightenment.' Nonetheless, the 'sun' has many properties of the real sun ascribed to it, such as the ability to burn things. Both the real sun and this figurative sun are represented as discs on Temple 1's walls.

³ [DATA EXPUNGED]

⁴ I don't have an exact translation for this one - 'eyes' or 'fire' may be the most plausible, but it could also refer in an oblique way to a particular star or a dagger.

⁵ Could also mean 'shadow.'

⁶ Could also mean 'clouded.' When this word is applied to a person, it could also mean 'strangled.']
