At the bottom of SCP-3999's containment chamber, the 
corpse of Level 3 Researcher James Talloran was found. 
Researcher Talloran had disappeared almost directly 
following reassignment to Site 118. A Foundation- 
assigned cell phone was found on his body, containing 
only a piece of text resembling a containment procedure 
for SCP-3999, but with many stylistic deviations and 
nonsensical procedures as well as [REDACTED] 
information concerning the nature of the Foundation. 
From it, it has been determined that Researcher Talloran 
was assigned to SCP-3999, SCP-3999 had significant 
reality warping properties, it breached containment at 
some point and caused either a CK-class reality- 
restructuring event or a ZK-class end-of-reality event, 
and it was successfully terminated by Researcher 
Talloran at the cost of his own life, reversing said event.

001 Proposals 


Jonathan Ball's Proposal: Sheaf of Papers 


Item #: SCP-001 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: To date, no adequate 
containment procedure has been developed to deal with the 
possible threat posed by SCP-001. This is due, in part, to the 
controversial nature of the item and debates concerning the 
necessity of its containment. This controversy is reflected in the 
item’s changing object class and the procedures utilized in its 
containment. The current administration, despite charges of 
paranoia, has classed the object Keter, while requesting permission 
for a higher object class to be created and applied uniquely to this 
item, considering it to be the most dangerous of all Known or 
possible items. The reason for this classification and changing 
attitudes towards SCP-001 are dealt with in the description and 
notes. 


At present, SCP-001 is located in a code-locked briefcase made of a 
high-tensile reinforced polymer. The room and briefcase are 
monitored at all times by security cameras. The briefcase cannot be 
opened without unanimous special clearance from all current O5 
officers. The briefcase itself is stored in a small, fully lit, single-room 
off-site building erected in . Class D personnel are posted 
to guard the building but may not enter without the aforementioned 
agreement from the O5 officers, under threat of immediate 
termination. This off-site building exists for the sole purpose of 
housing SCP-001 and is wired for detonation in an emergency 
situation. 


It is the opinion of the current administration that SCP-001 
represents the greatest threat to national and global security known 
to exist. Nevertheless, due to special circumstances regarding its 
mode of function, further research on the item is disallowed, despite 
its promotion in the past, when SCP-001 was contained in minimum 


completes the circuit, regardless of any other switches or current 
interruptors. Interruption or completion of the circuit is permanent: 
wires are physically broken, fuses bypassed, and switches shorted 
out. The surface of metal connections formed or broken by 
SCP-520-1 bears signs of extreme oxidation, often to a chemically 
implausible extent. 


SCP-520-2 functions like SCP-520-1, but its targets are selected 
randomly only from electronic devices inside its active zone that are 
members of its current selection class. The active zone's current 
radius is displayed on the left side of the LED display; it may be set 
to any value between between 5 m and 2,500 km using the dial in 
the object's base. 


The selection class is a subset of electrical devices specified by a 
brief English phrase (see Addendum 520-6 for examples). The 
active selection class appears in the center of SCP-520-1's LED 
display, with a counter of remaining activations on the right. Each 
class is applied to exactly ten operations before a new one is 
chosen at random. If there are no members of the selection class 
inside the active zone, the counter does not decrement until a 
suitable device can be affected. 


Over 680 pages of assorted hard-copy documentation were 
recovered with SCP-520. They included eight technical papers on 
anomalous electrical engineering topics; two complete sets of 
construction diagrams for SCP-520-1, one annotated by hand to 
roughly resemble SCP-520-2; a set of meticulous step-by-step 
instructions for building a copy of SCP-520-1, written in the second 
person and sprinkled with personal and cultural references; and 
extensive handwritten notes on the process of constructing and 
modifying an SCP-520 instance. 


The retrieved notes end abruptly partway through debugging an 
attempt to add programmable target-type specificity. Most 
handwriting in the documentation belongs to Pol-520-B, with 
occasional notes in Pol-520-A's hand. Many of the notes refer to an 
Ongoing correspondence by phone and e-mail, records of which 
have not yet been retrieved. 


Addendum 520-1B: SCP-520-Related Persons of Interest 


security conditions. 


Description: SCP-001 is a simple sheaf of papers, stapled together 
in the top left corner. The top sheet is a covering sheet reading 
simply, “Confidential Report on Special Items—Classified.” The 
number of subsequent papers stapled to this covering sheet is 
indeterminate, and have ranged from three to thirty. The report is 
unsigned and its origin is unknown. 


The first appearance of this report was on , _, when it 
appeared on the desk of (deceased). The report at that 
time described “The ‘Living’ Room” (SCP-002). Shortly after reading 
the report with incredulity, was contacted by phone 
regarding said item. The next time perused SCP-001, it 
described not “The ‘Living’ Room” but “Biological Motherboard” 
(SCP-003). immediately closed SCP-001, thinking it was a 
different report, and searched for the original report on SCP-002. 
Not finding it, he again opened SCP-001, and this time it described 
not SCP-003 but “The 12 Rusty Keys and the Door” (SCP-004). 

closed the report once more and opened it immediately, to 
read of “Skeleton Key” (SCP-005). It is not known what the next 
actions of might have been. At varying times following this 
incident, the aforementioned items were discovered. 


Insufficient research exists concerning the correlation between 
SCP-001 and all other known items. However, it has been 
established that every event regarding the discovery of a new SCP 
item has followed a report on that same item appearing beneath the 
cover sheet of SCP-001. The current administration regards this 
coincidence as proof of causal connection. 


Additional Notes: Whether SCP-001 is to be regarded as an 
advance-warning system or whether SCP-001 itself is to be 
regarded as the creator of the items requiring special containment 
remains to be seen. However, the distinction is unimportant in the 
eyes of the current administration. The fact remains: no new SCP 
items appear unless SCP-001 is opened and read. It is for this 
reason that the current administration refuses to repeat the mistakes 
of the past, mistakes that have resulted in over one thousand SCP 
items coming to the knowledge of the SCP unit. 


Arguments concerning the non-lethality of SCP-001 itself, its 
theoretically beneficial use as an SCP warning system, or its use as 
a progenitor of advanced biological and non-biological weapons 
have not swayed the current administration. Nor have arguments 
criticizing the extreme containment procedures employed in respect 
to an item that displays no nefarious qualities and is not animate as 
such. Critics are reminded that these procedures are intended not to 
contain the item itself, but to isolate it from human interaction, which 
is to be regarded as the true threat. 


Although the current administration refuses to remove the object 
from isolation barring special authorization as noted above, past 
administrations have counseled daily with the item, and future 
administrations will no doubt counsel similar behavior. Nevertheless, 
it is the opinion of the current administration that, barring the 
destruction of SCP-001, it is to be contained until such a time when 
responsibility for its containment falls upon future administrations. 


Dr Gears' Proposal: The Prototype 


Item designation number: #86243AR-001 
Warning: Item displays aggressive and dangerous behavior 
Description of item: 


6’5” tall, 97 lbs (average, varies by 5-10 lbs higher or lower), 
unknown age, grey-brown skin (may be bruising), eye (?) color milky 
blue, no hair. Emaciated appearance, bone and muscle structure 
unlike any recorded species. Legs are long and thin, ending in sharp 
black points. Three fingers on each hand, also ending in black 
points. Legs and arms are twice as long as torso. No reproductive 
organs, anal orifice, ears, nose, or pores anywhere on body. Head is 
spherical, very large in proportion to body, neck appears too thin to 
support head. Mouth extends halfway around head, no lips. Twenty- 
one (21) teeth, spaced randomly around mouth; many appear 
broken, rotten, or chipped. “Eye” is a large, ball-shaped, milky-blue 
sphere presumably kept in the head or throat. Appears to “roll” into 
the mouth when mouth is open. Has no pupil or iris. 


Detail of current containment: 


Room is lead-lined and kept lit with floodlights. Temperature is kept 
at 98 degrees, with 100% humidity. Room is sealed with a reinforced 
steel blast door. Outer area patrolled by guards with high-powered 
strobes. Anybody entering the containment room should carry a 
strobe and wear welding goggles. Any person attempting to remove 
the item or enter without authorization is to be shot on sight. 


Report: 


Recovered in Guatemala early this week. First reported as a 

“demon” seen by several boys on a rural road. Appeared to be sick 
or injured. Boys reported seeing the creature panting and jerking its 
legs. Creature then raised its head and exposed its “eye”. Boys ran 


home, reporting to local law enforcement. Several reports of 
“horrible roaring” or “shrieks” from locals over several days. Twelve 
people admitted to local hospital with severe radiation poisoning, 
and seven reported missing. Recovery team assembled, headed by 
General Machoi and dispatched from base ADRX-19. Reports to 
Overseers from recovery team after standard containment failure led 
to additional containment protocols, developed by Dr. Hermann 
Keter. Dr. Keter was unfortunately killed in initial testing, after which 
creature was moved to ADRX-19. 


Creature appears to be able to create microsingularities, using them 
both as a form of teleportation and defense. These singularities 
disappear several seconds after creation, but emit massive amounts 
of radiation and cause severe damage to the surrounding area. The 
“eye” appears to control these manifestations, as it has always had 
the eye exposed when creating a singularity. Omnivorous, it views 
humans as a food supply. Creature shows signs of extreme fear and 
sickness in the presence of high heat, humidity, or bright/flashing 
light. Creature appears unable to teleport through lead, and cannot 
form singularities when in its “sick” state. When “well”, itis an 
extremely fast and cunning being, and has killed several recovery 
agents with both its singularities and claws. Emits occasional 
shrieking sounds; all attempts to communicate have failed. 


Addendum: Additional objects reported, Overseers considering 
conversion of ADRX-19 to a dedicated recovery and containment 
facility. Reports may need censorship for reasons of security. 


Dr Clef's Proposal: The Gate Guardian 


Item #: SCP-001 
Object Class: Euclid/Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Because of the nature of 
SCP-001, no containment procedures are necessary. 24/7 
monitoring of SCP-001 is to take place from a safe (10 km+) 
distance from a pre-determined location (Site 0). The location of Site 
0 is known only to the current SCP Administrator and the single 
Overseer-level Agent of Abrahamic faith (05-14) assigned to 
monitor SCP-001 from Site 0. Said Agent is authorized to take any 
action necessary should SCP-001 become active, and is required to 
immediately alert the Administrator and all other Overseer-level 
agents should SCP-001 show any change in behavior, as this may 
constitute the beginning of a PATMOS Xk-class end-of-the-world 
scenario. 


Should SCP-001 become active in any way, personnel are required 
to immediately consult the Patmos series of Emergency Orders. 
Decoding algorithms for Emergency Order Patmos are to be 
maintained on-site at Site 0 in the possession of the designated 
observer, and are to be transmitted to SCP Foundation offices only 
in the event of SCP-001 becoming active. Foundation Personnel 
with vital roles in one or more variants of Emergency Procedure 
PATMOS are to be advised to take the following precautions: 


¢ To maintain good relations with one or more organized 
Abrahamic faiths. 
* To maintain, on hand, a supply of the following: holy water, a 
rosary, crucifix, cross, prayer rug, or other symbol blessed by 
an Abrahamic cleric of bishop or equivalent higher rank, a 
copy of Abrahamic scriptures (Torah, Bible, Quran), and 
standard emergency supplies in mobile form (bug-out bag). 
In case of a premillenial rapture scenario, all vital personnel 
are to designate a secondary operative of non-Abrahamic 


faith. Said secondary operative is to be informed of the 
location of the primary designate's copy of Emergency 
Procedure PATMOS and memetic kill agent innoculant, and is 
to be kept on ready status to take over the primary's duties as 
necessary. 

¢ To maintain familiarity with all other SCPs involved in possible 
PATMOS Xk-class end-of-the-world scenarios. 


Description: SCP-001 is a humanoid entity, approximately seven 
hundred (700) cubits in height, located in an undisclosed location 
near the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The 
following features are known about the entity: 


« Anumber of luminous, wing-like appendages emerging from 
the shoulders, back, temples, ankles, and wrists of the entity. 
Although an accurate count has never been established, most 
observers place the number of wings at anywhere from two 
(2) through one hundred and eight (108), with the mean 
number being four (4).
