Active SCPs
Item #: SCP-1316
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1316 is to be contained within no fewer than two layers of packaging. Materials of similar composition may not be counted as separate layers. While testing has found SCP-1316 to have only limited capability to spread its effect across related materials, it is recommended that organic and mineral materials be alternated to maximize security of containment. Protective gloves to be worn by any personnel handling the object, any form of remote device must have protective sleeves on all contact surfaces unless otherwise dictated by testing protocols.
Description: SCP-1316 is a white bottle cap with no distinctive markings. Samples gathered suggest the object to be of typical composition and structure and have not expressed the anomalous effects of SCP-1316.
The anomalous nature of SCP-1316 is activated when the object is brought into physical contact with any material. Upon contact the material undergoes structural rearranging on the molecular, forming a fractal pattern originating from the point of contact with SCP-1316. The pattern and rate of spread is not consistent between trials, although a positive correlation between size and rate of spread has been noted. In the majority of cases the structural rearrangement caused by SCP-1316 leads to loss of functionality and stability of affected materials. The effects of SCP-1316 have been found to extend to fluids, including air. However, turbulence seems to limit its range and prevent large scale restructuring in moving fluids.
While there exists risk of structural failure in non-living materials affected by SCP-1316, the danger to living systems posed by the object means SCP-1316 must be treated as a hazardous material. This danger was first realized when Agent █████████ picked SCP-1316 up during initial containment. Upon contact, the Agent's fingers melted away at the site of contact and SCP-1316 fell into the box in which it was found. The organic mass which had fallen off of Agent █████████ underwent rearranging and formed the now expected fractal pattern. Agent █████████ responded well to medical treatment and SCP-1316 was recovered, using the box it was discovered in to transport it back to Site ██.
Item #: SCP-442
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-442 is to be kept away from its current owner in a secure container until being used for testing. Due to Incident 442-2, further testing is suspended indefinitely. The current owner must have a will leaving SCP-442 to a D-class personnel. The current and next owner are both to be granted a suspension of termination and given assignments minimizing risk of SCP contamination or death. Should the D-class listed in the current owner's will be terminated or otherwise invalidated for ownership of SCP-442, the will is to be updated immediately.
Description: SCP-442 is a gold-plated pocket watch three (3) centimeters in diameter with hands showing the hour and minute. Along the edge of the watch an inscription reads, "To my good friend, a helping hand." While no apparent seams allowing SCP-442 to be opened without sustaining damage have been found, scans of the interior of SCP-442 have not revealed any anomalies in its construction.
As long as SCP-442 is wound it will set itself to the correct time. Crossing time zones or winding SCP-442 while it displays an incorrect time results in the hands of SCP-442 spinning rapidly to match the correct time. The owner of SCP-442 (henceforth referred to as SCP-442-A) also demonstrates an intrinsic knowledge of time and is able to tell time to an arbitrary level of precision without looking at any time piece as long as SCP-442 is on the person of SCP-442-A.
SCP-442 has been demonstrated to have reality bending properties to the extent of guaranteeing the time at which SCP-442-A arrives at an appointed location or completes a task. As long as SCP-442 is carried, SCP-442-A is incapable of tardiness. However, when SCP-442 is absent from the person of SCP-442-A after initial contact or allowed to run down, the subject becomes chronically late. The manner in which SCP-442-A is made tardy increases in severity until invariably reaching fatality at exactly 168 hours (one week). Returning SCP-442 to a present, wound state brings an immediate end to these negative effects; immediate removal of SCP-422 from SCP-442-A progresses normally, no relationship to the previous disconnection has been observed. As shown in Test Log 442-1, no attempts to counter or overcome the influence of SCP-442 has succeeded to date.
SCP-442-A can change by transferring SCP-442 through any normal legal means. SCP-442 can be bought, sold, gifted, or willed to another party so long as the current SCP-442-A does so willingly. In the event of death without a will, the SCP-442-A is always a relative or close friend. Anomalies have been noted in these transfers,1 the exact relation of inheritance varies and appears to depend more on need than blood relation. SCP-442 has always reached its intended owner, appearing in the mail or on a doorstep by unknown means when otherwise prevented from coming into the hands of SCP-442-A.
Extended ownership of SCP-442 slowly rewrites the personality of SCP-442-A. Within two years, regardless of previous attitude, SCP-442-A exhibits high self-control. At this point the fight-or-flight reflex of SCP-442-A is abnormally subdued. Although SCP-442-A demonstrates an increasing level of annoyance at tardiness, it is not until approximately the seven year mark that this reaches dysfunctional levels and levels off. Incidences of SCP-442-A have a suicide rate of approximately 80% by 20 years of owning SCP-442, with 60% of suicides being at exactly 20 years. All known deaths of instances of SCP-442-A have been on the anniversary of first receiving SCP-442.
*Supplement 422-01:* SCP-442 was brought to Foundation attention by Dr. S████ through a letter delivered on his death along with SCP-442 and his personal journal. The attached letter gave a brief explanation of the object's properties and provided a list of locations and relatives possessing further information. Investigation into how standard background checks failed to uncover the existence of SCP-442 revealed a series of unusual bureaucratic errors wherein papers were filed at improper times. Due to the nature of SCP-442 and time elapsed, no citations were issued.
Dr. S████ came into possession of SCP-442 as a junior researcher at Site-██ through his uncle's will. Then-Mr. S████ was on report at that time for repeated absences and delays in filing reports, he later remarked in his journal about its timing saving his career. Selected excerpts from the journal of Dr. S████ can be found in Document 442-1. The full text is available on Level 4 approval.
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be held in bio-containment cell XXX at Site 52. A sign must be affixed to the entrance of bio-containment cell XXX warning of the dangers of prolonged contact with SCP-XXX. Footage from a camera observing the entrance of bio-containment cell XXX is to be reviewed on a weekly basis. Personnel found to be entering without authorization are to be considered for psychological review, personnel spending in excess of six hours with SCP-XXX in a given week are to be immediately transferred away from Site 52. SCP-XXX does not need any food nor additional security measures.
Description: SCP-XXX is a chocolate Labrador retriever recovered from a nursing home in [REDACTED]. The subject was ignored for several years by SCP agents visiting [REDACTED] until an incident led to SCP-XXX being left uncared for over a period of several days. SCP-XXX was substituted for one of similar age and disposition, with Class C amnesiacs given to relevant members of staff.
SCP-XXX is a Labrador retriever, appearing to be five years old and suffering from mild obesity. The subject does not sleep nor perform any normal biological functions beyond breathing and blinking. SCP-XXX does not move unless forced to, lying down wherever it is allowed to for indefinite periods of time. The subject can be forced to stand by lifting it from the ground and will follow with mild resistance if put on a leash.
Individuals who come into contact with SCP-XXX feel a need to "cheer up" or otherwise have positive interactions with SCP-XXX. No interaction with SCP-XXX has been taken positively by the subject. Attempts to pet SCP-XXX result in it flinching and whimpering in pain. During a failed game of fetch, Dr. R████ reported that SCP-XXX "just looked at me with those sad, brown eyes and woofed pathetically." Subjects interacting with SCP-XXX generally come away from these interactions feeling frustrated.
Item #: SCP-692
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Researchers handling or experimenting with SCP-692 are to avoid viewing the object. Advised precautions include blindfolds and usage of delayed video feeds. Staff exposed to SCP-692 are to be immediately removed from the containment area and put under observation until all memories of SCP-692 have been lost. Exposed staff may then be reassigned and have restriction code HR692E added to their record.
SCP-692 is kept in a locked storage crate at Containment Area 23, researchers may requisition SCP-692 for testing with requisition form R-CA23-692.
Description: SCP-692 is a red teapot with no unusual markings or physical properties. The object poses a danger only to subjects who view SCP-692, implanting itself into the subject's memories. Initial exposure to SCP-692 results in the subject experiencing a vague recollection of an important childhood memory. Subjects during early exposure have been unable to describe why SCP-692 is important, displaying classic symptoms of avoidance when pressed to explain.
Unless otherwise noted, the subject was not briefed on any of the following tests.
Test 442-01
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment at 1400 hours in room 43-2A-152.
Purpose: Baseline test of subject's punctuality.
Outcome: Subject arrived at 43-2A-152 at 1359 hours, project report undergone without incident.
Note: That went as expected. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-02
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment at 1200 hours in room 43-2A-152. Subject was informed of appointment at 1147 hours. The distance from subject's office to 43-2A-152 was measured to be a twelve (12) minute walk and adequate preparation time was estimated at ten (10) minutes.
Purpose: Test of the effects of SCP-442 on preparedness.
Outcome: Subject had already arranged most relevant papers on its desk. Loaded briefcase without incident and arrived at 42-2A-152 at precisely 1200:05. Subject apologized for tardiness.
Note: It would appear that 442 has some predictive ability, further testing is advised. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-03
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment requiring no preparation at 1300 hours in room 43-2A-152. Subject was informed of appointment at 1250 hours. As before, the distance from subject's office to 43-2A-152 was measured be a twelve (12) minute walk.
Purpose: Determine how SCP-442 handles insufficient time.
Outcome: Subject hurried to 43-2A-152, arrived at 1259:45.
Note: Although Mr. S████'s professionalism has increased and energy has dropped since getting ahold of 442, he is still willing to hurry. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-04
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment in 17-5C-033 at 1200 hours. Subject was informed of this appointment at 1000 hours. Site ██ hour flight from Containment Area 43 by conventional air transit.
Purpose: Determine if SCP-442 has any additional supernatural abilities to assist timeliness.
Outcome: Subject called Dr. Q██, the person with whom the appointment had been made, to apologize for being unable to make the appointment. Q██ turned down the offer to reschedule as requested by Dr. J██████.
Note: It would appear that 442 cannot break certain laws of physics. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-05
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment in Containment Area 43 Outbuilding 6 at 1530 hours and given adequate notification. Subject's car was disabled prior to scheduled departure time.
Purpose: Determine any influence SCP-442 has on decision making and confirm precognitive abilities.
Outcome: Subject left office at expected time, heading towards carpool. Checked a cart out without making any attempt to start own vehicle.
Note: That about settles it, given prior knowledge of Mr. S████'s transportation to Outbuilding 6 it would appear that 442 does indeed perceive the future by some means and actively influence Mr. S████'s decisions -Dr. J██████
Test 442-06
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment in Containment Area 43 Outbuilding 6 at 1530 hours and given adequate notification. Subject's car was disabled prior to scheduled departure time. Car pool was instructed not to check any transportation out to subject.
Purpose: Follow up to test 442-05.
Outcome: Subject left office at expected time, heading towards staff parking. Dr. Y████ was also on his way to Outbuilding 6 and offered subject a ride and subject arrived at 1528.
Note: Somehow 442 set that up, I don't know if it timed Mr. S████ to be in the right place at the right time or can extend its influence on other people. Further testing is required. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-07
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment in Containment Area 43 Outbuilding 6 at 1530 hours and given adequate notification. Subject's car was disabled prior to scheduled departure time. Car pool was instructed not to check any transportation out to subject.
Purpose: Follow up to test 442-05 and 442-06.
Outcome: Subject left office at expected time, heading towards staff parking. Started car as normal and arrived at Outbuilding 6 at 1526.
Note: The assistant researcher responsible for disabling Mr. S████'s car was reprimanded. Mr. B████ had been unable to locate Mr. S████'s car and failed to report this to me. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-08
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment in Containment Area 43 Outbuilding 6 at 1530 hours and given adequate notification. Subject's car was disabled prior to scheduled departure time. Car pool was instructed not to check any transportation out to subject.
Purpose: Follow up to tests 442-05, 442-06 and 442-07.
Outcome: Subject left office at expected time, heading towards staff parking. Started car as normal and arrived at Outbuilding 6 at 1526.
Note: The assistant researcher responsible for disabling Mr. S████'s car was reprimanded. Mr. C█████ removed the spark plugs from the wrong vehicle. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-09
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given an appointment in Containment Area 43 Outbuilding 6 at 1530 hours and given adequate notification. Subject's car was disabled prior to scheduled departure time, confirmed by Dr. J██████. Car pool was instructed not to check any transportation out to subject.
Purpose: Follow up to tests 442-05, 442-06, 442-07 and 442-08.
Outcome: Subject remained in office. Outbuilding 6 was put under lock-down at 1512 due to SCP-███ breaking containment. Lock-down continued until 2340, subject had already gone home without incident.
Note: This was probably coincidence. However, for safety reasons any further testing should minimize risk of interference of or by other SCP items. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-10
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given adequate notification of a 1100 hours appointment in room 43-2A-152. Office of subject was scheduled to be locked from the outside five (5) minutes prior to expected departure time.
Purpose: Determine how SCP-442 handles confinement.
Outcome: Subject departed six (6) minutes early to use the restroom.
Note: Not terribly surprising. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-11
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given adequate notification of a 1400 hours appointment in room 43-2A-152. Office of subject was scheduled to be locked from the outside five (5) minutes prior to expected departure time.
Purpose: Follow up to test 442-10 to observe other possible outcomes.
Outcome: Subject left office door fully open, attending researcher was unable to close and lock the door without the subject noticing.
Note: It could be problematic if this method continues. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-12
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given adequate notification of a 1330 hours appointment in room 43-2A-152. Office of subject was scheduled to be locked from the outside five (5) minutes prior to expected departure time.
Purpose: Follow up to test 442-10 and 44-11 with contingency briefings prepared for attending researchers.
Outcome: Subject departed seven (7) minutes early to use the restroom, researcher instructed to lock subject into restroom. Subject exited restroom as normal.
Note: The lock on restroom 43-2A-054 was found to be broken and was replaced without incident. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-13
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was given adequate notification of a 1230 hours appointment in room 43-2A-152. Office of subject was scheduled to be locked from the outside ten (10) minutes prior to expected departure time. Maintainence confirmed all locking mechanisms in hall 43-2A were fully functional.
Purpose: Follow up to test 442-12.
Outcome: Subject departed eleven (11) minutes early for a drink of water.
Note: I'm starting to think it's toying with us. -Dr. J██████
Note: Speculation on possible sentience of SCP items is discouraged without significant supporting evidence, educational courses are available if it becomes difficult to make these important distinctions. -O5-██ (Is there a specific O5 I could put here?)
Test 442-14
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was spontaneously locked inside office with an appointment in room 43-A2-152 thirteen (13) minutes later.
Purpose: Determine if SCP-442 only picks up being locked in if planned before hand.
Outcome: Subject unlocked door by unknown means, arrived at 43-A2-152 on time.
Note: Damn. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-15
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was spontaneously locked inside office with an appointment in room 43-A2-152 fifteen (15) minutes later. Security cameras had been secretly installed after test 442-14.
Purpose: Follow up to test 442-14 to determine how the subject opened the door.
Outcome: Subject had copy of office key taped under a desk drawer.
Note: Mr. S████ was not authorized to have a key to his own office for this very reason. An investigation request has been filed. -Dr. J██████
Note: Sloppiness in your procedures is no excuse for wasting Foundation time and resources. Please continue testing under more strict control. -O5-██
Test 442-16
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was spontaneously locked inside office with an appointment in room 43-A2-152 fourteen (14) minutes later. Locks on the office door had been replaced after test 442-17 and Dr. J██████ given the only key.
Purpose: Follow up to test 442-15 with a variable removed.
Outcome: Subject picked the lock in two (2) minutes with a pick set pulled from a coat pocket (See Disciplinary Report 10392) and arrived at room 43-A2-152 on time.
Note: Mr. S████'s person and office are to undergo routine and surprise security checks until further notice. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-17
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Subject was spontaneously locked inside office with an appointment in room 43-A2-152 fourteen (14) minutes later. Locks on the office door had been replaced after test 442-17 and Dr. J██████ given the only key. Inner locking mechanism sealed and stress tested.
Purpose: Follow up to test 442-16.
Outcome: Subject mimed using a key and opened door normally. Subject was visibly distressed for remainder of day.
Note: That was interesting. This concludes attempts at locking in the subject, security checks are to be suspended and permission to have personal keys restored. -Dr. J██████
Test 442-18
Date: ██/██/19██
Procedure: Keys of subject's car removed from its pocket on way to appointment at Containment Area 43 Outbuilding 4.
Purpose: Further testing of abilities of SCP-442 to influence decisions or manipulate locks.
Outcome: Subject acts normally, miming the use of keys as necessary. Car operates normally and subject arrives on time. Subject visibly distressed for remainder of day.
Note: That proves 442 works on more than just door locks, further testing is not needed at this time. -Dr. J██████
Note: Although without incident, this test was in direct violation of your own previous advisory to cease tests involving possible influence of other SCP items. Further testing involving SCP items and SCP item storage areas is prohibited and must be reviewed before being carried out. Yes, this is an end to impromptu testing. -O5-██
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: A sample of SCP-XXX is to be contained at Research Area ██ under Class IV biocontainment. As long as this sample is maintained, all other instances are to be incinerated when not undergoing testing.
Description: SCP-XXX takes the form of grains of sand, due to its form SCP-XXX is easily carried by wind to spread infection. Infection begins once a grain of SCP-XXX lands on the iris of a vertebrate.
- Phase 1: Iris is converted into sand, extremely itchy
- Phase 2: Cornea breached, blindness caused and itch relieved
- Phase 3: Lens and pupil consumed
- Phase 4: Inner humor consumed
- Phase 5: Retina, choroid, sclera consumed
- Phase 6: Retinal muscles consumed
- Phase 7: Socket scoured, left glassy smooth
Backburner SCPs
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be held under Class 1 humanoid containment in Area 3. Any staff interacting with SCP-XXX are advised to avoid commenting on the subject's appearance unless asked to.
Description: SCP-XXX appears to be a middle aged man of varying appearance due to its nature. The subject was secured after routine data mining found anomalous DMV records relating to SCP-XXX. Prior to containment, SCP-XXX would habitually move between states on a regular basis and update its identification information before suspicion could arise. When apprehended by Foundation retrieval officers, the subject appeared grateful and provided no resistance.
The features of SCP-XXX fluctuate slowly, upon acquisition by the Foundation in 19██, SCP-XXX appeared to be a 2.02 meter tall Caucasian of sturdy build. By 20██ had taken the appearance of a heavyset, 1.73 meter Asian. No pattern has been found to these changes and the subject has displayed only minor control under testing conditions(See Addendum XXX-05). Analysis of the genome of SCP-XXX revealed the subject to have over three (3) times the number of base pairs as a human, a total of roughly 19 billion base pairs. The chromosomes of SCP-XXX are uniquely arranged, although only one copy of the X and Y chromosomes exist in each cell, there are six (6) copies of each of the numbered chromosomes. There is an additional chromosome present in the genome of SCP-XXX not found in any human, officially cataloged as chromosome XXX.
Addendum XXX-05: On ██ September 20██, SCP-XXX claimed it had gained control over its eye color and told Dr. R███████ to expect "a bright green eye and a brown eye by the end of the year." By November ██, the right of of SCP-XXX was a dull green and the left a rich brown. Despite a failure to meet the exact claim, the test was labeled a success. Prior to this incident, SCP-XXX had never expressed heterochromia.
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be contained in storage locker C-1832 in Area 36 alongside five (5) uninfected duck carcasses of similar preparation. The containment area is to be checked twice a week for signs of decay and any uninfected carcasses deemed unfit to eat incinerated. Infection by SCP-XXX is to be confirmed via photography.
Description: SCP-XXX appears to be a duck carcass prepared for use in cooking under normal observation, however remote means of viewing and chemical analysis reveal the subject to be in an advanced state of rot. A psychic aura creating a desire to use or consume SCP-XXX has been recorded, although awareness of SCP- If the subject infected with SCP-XXX becomes sufficiently damaged (See Document XXX-02 for details) the nearest duck carcass will become a new instance of SCP-XXX. From this point the damaged instance of SCP-XXX will retain its psychic properties but becomes incapable of spreading further, limiting SCP-XXX to only one 'active' instance at any given time.
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The current host of SCP-XXX is to be held under standard Class 3 humanoid containment in block C of Sector █. Additional provisions are to include an attached visitation room. Should another human needing to enter the suite, the host is to be locked inside the visitation room or otherwise restrained. The use of trained animals is approved in the event of non-cooperation from the host.
Description: SCP-XXX is a psychic manifestation that will transfer to a new host upon any sort of direct physical contact with the current host and another human. Human subjects exposed to the current host of SCP-XXX experience feelings of fear and activation of fight or flight reflexes. These feelings are proportional to distance from the host and can be mitigated by standard phobia treatments. While alone, the host reports feeling lonely and will actively seek out human contact if possible. In the presence of other humans, the host of SCP-XXX enters a state of heightened aggression and attempts to strike or otherwise contact the nearest person. If successful, SCP-XXX immediately leaves its current host and continues the cycle until no valid targets are available. SCP-XXX has shown an inability to reinfect the immediately previous host and a preference for subjects who have not been infected in the past.
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents planted within the staff of the theater are to maintain a disinformation campaign surrounding SCP-XXX and are authorized to use up to Class C amnesiacs in order to maintain ignorance of SCP-XXX. Mobile Task Force XXX Leader may request use of Class A amnesiacs, to be granted at the discretion of the Senior Researcher assigned to SCP-XXX. Researchers desiring to run tests and Agents seeking training should consult with MTF-XXX Leader to ensure no interference with civilian schedules occurs.
Description: SCP-XXX is a spiritual manifestation that usually takes human form in the [DATA EXPUNGED]. Agent S████ was implanted within the [REDACTED] Theater Company to monitor rumors when he confirmed the possibility of an SCP via methods outlined in Document T-032: Recognizing Paranormal Activity. Mobile Task Force Psi-12 ("Spirit Sniffers") was called in to confirm. After initial difficulties in exorcising SCP-XXX, a local oracle with Foundation ties was brought in to perform a risk assessment. Having determined that SCP-XXX is benign, the Foundation has decided to use SCP-XXX and the [REDACTED] as a training facility.
SCP-XXX primarily appears on opening nights of performances within the [REDACTED]. SCP-XXX will appear among the crowd of theater goers while at least two hundred (200) people are in the lobby. Attempts to simulate such a crowd with Foundation personnel have failed to cause SCP-XXX to manifest. The subject has been seen interacting with patrons but actively avoids contact with persons tied to the Foundation.
During performances SCP-XXX vanishes and Heigfeldt radiation within the area of the stage raises to 5.3 times background levels, indicating a dispersed spiritual presence. Should an actor make any significant errors during the performance, general Heigfeldt levels reduce to only 2.1 times background levels and the offending actor will begin emitting at 12.6 times background, slightly under four (4) times that of a human of average health, consistent with a spirit taking partial control of a human. For the remainder of the performance the actor will perform almost perfectly. Once the curtains fall, the actor will report being very tired and sleep no less than nine hours, none has reported remembering any dreams during this night. Every actor who has undergone this process expresses a vague notion of dread should they have to undergo the experience again. Most show a marked increase in attention to details and work ethic after such a performance. Any additional actors making significant mistakes will not show any increase in performance but will still undergo the noted after effects of such an occurrence.
Addendum XXX-01: MTF-XXX Leader, Agent J████ reports that a team member successfully made contact with SCP-XXX. Agent D█████ gave the standard first contact query, to which it replied "I just enjoy the theater too much to ever let it go." The subject then slipped away into the crowd, breaking any further interaction.
Addendum XXX-02: [REDACTED] has been purchased by a Foundation front company and is now headed by Agent J████. After Test XXX-07 it was determined that SCP-XXX will not manifest if the performance is staged by Foundation personnel and the [REDACTED] Theater Company is to be maintained in order to guarantee SCP-XXX manifestations. In accordance with the opening of SCP-XXX to training, the primary document has been reformatted for educational purposes.

Item #: SCP-132
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-132 are to be cataloged and etched with an appropriate designating mark. SCP-132 is to be stored at Containment Sector ██ when not in use. No special clearance is needed to have access to files relating to SCP-132 and instances of SCP-132 may be requisitioned for office decoration in any non-Command Foundation installation. After incident 132-01, no instances of SCP-132 are to leave Containment Sector ██ without approval by the Sector Director. Following the incident detailed in Addendum 03, standard classification procedures are reinstated on SCP-132.
Description: SCP-132 takes the form of a series of glass tetrahedrons, each with a side length of 10.3 centimeters. Each instance of SCP-132 appears to contain a patch of desert sand. Occasionally scorpions and other desert creatures enter the confines of an instance of SCP-132 as if it were a continuous piece of desert. Creatures within SCP-132 have shown no awareness of the existence of anything outside of the object and attempts to influence the area within SCP-132 have failed.
Review of observed animal life within SCP-132 has proven inconsistent. Clusters of contiguous instances have been internally consistent and have been confirmed to display areas of every major desert. No method of pinpointing exact locations has been discovered, staff observing SCP-132 are advised to be on the lookout for any defining features that could aid in this endeavor.
Test Log SCP-132:
Procedure: SCP-132-01 rotated and placed on an upper side
Result: No apparent change in SCP-132-01Procedure: SCP-132-01 inverted and placed in a cradle
Result: No apparent change in SCP-132-01Procedure: SCP-132-01 shaken vigorously
Result: A few grains of sand in SCP-132-01 shift as though picked up by a light wind.Procedure: SCP-132-01 shaken vigorously
Result: No apparent change in SCP-132-01
Note: I guess it was just the wind, better to be sure anyway. -Dr. PetersonProcedure: A corner of SCP-132-01 is filed for several strokes
Result: The filed corner is scuffed in a consistent manner to normal glassProcedure: Heat is applied to the side of SCP-132-01 with a blowtorch
Result: Heated side melts and a sizable hole is cut in SCP-132-01. Desert scene remains.
Note: I prodded around in there after it cooled and only felt glass, it would appear that SCP-132 only shows an illusionary desert. I suppose it could be showing a real place but I have no idea how we could confirm this or locate where that may be. -Dr. Peterson
Incident Log 132-01: Dr R███████, currently stationed at Area ██, reports knocking SCP-132-71 off her desk. Upon impact with the ground, SCP-132-71 shattered and the office of Dr R███████ was buffeted by extreme winds. Other owners of instances of SCP-132 confirm that the area shown by SCP-132 was experiencing a sandstorm.
Addendum 132-01: Careful observation of SCP-132 has found that many instances are contiguous, the largest 'section' composed of sixteen (16) different instances. Speculation over the existence of additional unsecured instances has been raised.
Addendum 132-02: Administration has deemed the possible risk of unsecured instances of SCP-132 existing to be negligible and set retrieval efforts to lowest priority. Keywords relating to SCP-132 have been added to routine search protocols.
Addendum 132-03: A large box arrived for Dr. Richardson at his home with a return address of [REDACTED], a Foundation front. No faculty associated with [REDACTED] report any association with said box and it does not appear on any [REDACTED] records. Inside were thirty-seven (37) uncatalogued instances of SCP-132. Twelve (12) were contiguous with previously documented instances of SCP-132 and three (3) in stances which had no known shared edges were brought into contiguity. Of particular note were eighteen (18) instances which appear to display Martian soil, thirteen (13) of which were found to be contiguous.
Item #: SCP-210
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The property containing SCP-210 has been designated as Site ███. The primary responsibility of guards on Site ███ is to prevent trespassers and maintain the cover story detailed in Document-210-01. The servant's quarters adjacent to SCP-210 have been deemed safe for human habitation and may be used for on-site housing. A submersible rover is to be sent into SCP-210 on a monthly basis to catalog
Description: SCP-210 came to the attention of the Foundation when an agent embedded in the ██████ County Police Department received a number of related missing persons reports. Mobile Task Force Iota 12 ("Damn Feds") was dispatched to intercept the investigations. The disappearances were quickly traced to a party held at SCP-210 on ██/██/20██, with several subsequent disappearances resulting from persons undergoing private investigations. Two team members were lost on initial contact with SCP-210, the first when entering through the front door and the second while trying to recover the first. The full documentation of this investigation can be found in Document 210-01.
SCP-210 is a two-story mansion flooded to a depth of 4.35 meters with an unknown fluid substance with a refractory index nearly identical to water which has been dubbed SCP-210-01. This fluid is invisible from the outside of SCP-210 and does not flow out of SCP-210 if a door or window is opened. Any living creature that comes into contact with SCP-210-01 enters a sleep-like state and begins drifting through SCP-210-01 as if neutrally buoyant. Beings trapped in this manner are designated SCP-210-02, to date ██ instances of SCP-210-02 have been cataloged by remote means. Instances of SCP-210-02 emit a constant stream of bubbles as if exhaling despite no source of air being identified and motion in the chest consistent with normal breathing is observed. Subjects have been noted to move through SCP-210-01 slowly "as if dancing," it has not been determined if this is under the power of the subjects or of microcurrents within SCP-210-01.
Addendum 210-01: Attempts to remove SCP-210-02 from SCP-210-01 have failed, instances of SCP-210-02 reach the edge of SCP-210-01 and travel no further. Under stress testing SCP-210-02 undertook no damage, this properties extends to clothing as shown by attempts to cut pieces of clothing off of various subjects. Furniture and other inanimate objects within SCP-210-01 behave as if in normal atmospheric conditions and a teapot was successfully removed from SCP-210.
Item #: SCP-672
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The sample kept at Research Sector ██ is to be maintained in a biodome suitable for desert life with accompanying scrub plants. Samples may be taken at the discretion of Dr. H█████. [REDACTED] is to have relevant data for the location of SCP-672 colonies uploaded. Any wild colonies are to have a MTF dispatched to enact procedure Lambda-6.
Description: SCP-672 is a species of coral that grows in desert environments. The rich green color of SCP-672, making it appear as a plant at first glance, comes from a previously undiscovered but unremarkable species of zooxanthellae. The colony is extremely efficient with resources. Dead individuals are broken down and any useful components redistributed, leaving behind limestone that can only be distinguished from deposits formed by normal coral by the presence of [DATA EXPUNGED]. When not active, SCP-672 polyps completely seal themselves within their shells and become nearly impossible to distinguish from surrounding rock formations. It is recommended that MTFs carry a copy of Document 672-12 as an identification aid when performing fieldwork relating to SCP-672. Outside of expansion events SCP-672 will periodically become active for brief times to either consume prey or to allow its zooxanthellae to undergo photosynthesis.
SCP-672 was initially discovered by a [REDACTED] in 19██, a sleeper agent planted in the team alerted the Foundation to a possible SCP species and attempted to direct attention away from SCP-672 as per standard procedure but was detained by his fellow researchers due to suspicious behavior. Agent D█████ attributed his detainment as the primary reason for surviving the subsequent expansion event that killed the rest of the expedition.
SCP-672 feeds when an animal touches a polyp, either by chance or having been lured during an expansion event. The polyps with access to prey use a radula to tear off small pieces of food, test subjects report feeling like they have scraped their hand against sharp stone even when lightly touching SCP-672. Observation of injuries caused by SCP-672 feeding have shown the polyps to coordinate their motion to keep the damage consistent with a scraping injury. Polyps pass food around the colony via laterally placed holes in their shell, allowing the whole reef to stay fed. This feeding behavior is relatively harmless and subjects have successfully maintained prolonged contact with SCP-672 without severe damage.
SCP-672 only poses a real threat during an expansion event, during which the colony attempts to draw in as much prey as possible leading up to its reproduction. SCP-672 will begin emitting a subsonic frequency that has been demonstrated to create a desire in vertebrates to move towards its source. Victims attempt to make as much skin contact as possible once they reach SCP-672, allowing it to feed upon them with maximum efficiency. The volume of the sound increases over time and then drops soon after reaching maximum. The maximum volume depends upon the size of the SCP-672 colony creating it and ranges up to six (6) kilometers have been recorded in larger colonies. Surviving wild colonies have a range of 400 meters or less, due to the successful implementation of procedure Lambda-6. During the volume reduction SCP-672 emits a cloud of spores, most of these settle on and around SCP-672 with large amounts collecting on prey caught upon the colony. Once the sound ceases, any surviving victims return to normal behavior and will generally flee the area. Spores caught on these animals remain dormant until death and will grow to become a new colony on the corpse.
Graveyard
Item #: SCP-216
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Researchers handling or experimenting with SCP-216 are to avoid viewing the object. Advised precautions include blindfolds and delayed viewing of video feeds. Staff exposed to SCP-216 are to be immediately removed from the vicinity and put under observation until reaching the final stage of SCP-216 exposure, at which point they may be reassigned and restriction code [REDACTED] added to their record.
SCP-216 is kept in a locked storage crate at Containment Area 23, researchers may requisition SCP-216 for testing with requisition form R-CA23-216.
Description: SCP-216 that poses a cognitohazard to direct viewers, no further remarkable features or elements have been found. A possible memetic link is being explored after patterns in effectiveness were observed, with native English speakers of European decent found to be most easily effected by SCP-216. Members of this group have demonstrated a 93% influence rate, 37% over the general population.
Subjects exposed to SCP-216 experience three distinct stages, beginning with the implanting of false memories. These memories cause the subject to believe SCP-216 is a family heirloom and that the subject had placed it in its current position. Subjects have managed to give reasonable and detailed explanations for how and why they placed SCP-216 in every test performed. During the first stage, the subject will pick SCP-216 up and place it somewhere the subject feels is safe and appropriate. It is important to note that nothing prevents additional subjects from being exposed to SCP-216 during this process. Having secured SCP-216, the subject will return to a normal routine with the exception of making regular use of SCP-216. If the subject does not have direct access to SCP-216, the subject will move directly to the second stage of SCP-216 influence.
The second stage of SCP-216 influence is caused by a subject not having access to the object. Subjects show a supernatural awareness of the location of SCP-216 and any safeguards between themselves and SCP-216. The exact methods used to 'reclaim' SCP-216 vary from subject to subject, however behaviors have been accurately predicted from psychological profiles. In trials where retrieval of SCP-216 is impossible, subjects enter a depressive state until SCP-216 becomes more accessible or the subject enters the final stage of influence. If a subject comes into contact with SCP-216, the subject will return first stage behavior patterns. Subjects in the second stage react violently to 216pots other than SCP-216 and it is advised contact between subjects and 216pots or related objects be avoided.
An indeterminate time elapses between a subject entering the second and third stage, further research is pending. Subjects in the third stage lose all memory of SCP-216 in a manner consistent with the use of Class A Amnesiacs.2 In the final stage of SCP-216 influence, subjects will relapse into second stage influence if exposed to any visual media containing SCP-216.

Recovered by Agent B████ G████████, the item is a plastic sprue meant for assembly and use with a miniature war game that is completely incapable of binding to adhesives.
This otherwise normal Risk set has a variable number of pieces as they appear and disappear as needed on the board. Additionally, battle sounds are produced by the dice when rolled on hard surfaces rather than the expected clattering.
The item takes the appearance of an automobile. The exact make and model varies depending on the last subject to sit in the driver's seat. The item shifts to a form appropriate to the subject and desired function, however the subject has no direct control over what form the item takes.
This book on astrology has predictions relating to the holder reaching out to exactly one year from the day observed. Not one prediction made by the item has come true.
