coerce SCP-074 into returning to its containment by first occupying 
each of its four sets of jaws with an entire raw apple, then physically 
pushing SCP-074 in the desired direction, gently tapping its 
compound eyes with an open palm, or spraying its front pair of 
antenna with a 0.5% solution of methanoic acid. 


Description: SCP-074 is an anomalous organism which uses 
various quantum properties at a macroscopic scale, and in other 
ways modifies the standard laws of physics within its immediate 
vicinity. The specific nature of these modifications appears to be 
linked to the extent to which humans in SCP-074's vicinity are aware 
of the precise details of the physical laws which SCP-074 modifies, 
such that research to determine whether SCP-074 has a given 
property or capability, results in SCP-074 developing or manifesting 
that property or capability. Archive 074-317E — a full list of the 
anomalous physical phenomena known to be, or to have been, 
associated with SCP-074 — is available to personnel level 3 or 
higher; personnel who access this document will be disqualified from 
working with SCP-074, or for any other reason coming within 5 km 
of Site 81. 


SCP-074 has repeatedly manifested the ability to soontaneously 
materialize at locations as much as 3 meters outside its primary 
containment; this is believed to be, or to be analogous to, quantum 
tunnelling. 


Foundation entomologists have tentatively identified SCP-074 as 
belonging to the order lsopoda, commonly known as a 'woodlouse’. 
lts inertial mass is approximately 1700 kilograms, but its 
gravitational mass is approximately 375 grams; its volume has been 
estimated at 1.7 cubic meters, approximately the size of a compact 
Car. 


SCP-074 is female2 and parthenogenetic; periodically3, the globular 
organ at the tip of its ovipositor luminesces, and emits what was 
originally thought to be a form of non-ionizing radiation, but which 
has since been identified as "coherent wavepackets"4 of the 
probability of one of SCP-074's self-fertilized eggs (henceforth 
SCP-074-1) "reifying".5 Instances of SCP-074-1 preferentially reify 
and incubate within the flesh of humans with knowledge of physics.® 
In the absence of suitable humans to serve as hosts, the 


wavepackets will reify within other organisms, or within inanimate 
objects; however, rather than incubating, the eggs will wither and 
die, leaving perforations similar to radiation damage at a 
macroscopic scale. The wavepackets appear to decay over time, as 
no wavepackets or instances of wavepacket-related damage have 
been detected at distances greater than approximately 400 m from 
SCP-074. The rate at which successfully-incubated instances of 
SCP-074-1 mature appears to be dependent on the host's exposure 
to ultraviolet light: within a host exposed to an average of 30 minutes 
of unfiltered sunlight per day for a month, an instance of SCP-074-1 
was observed to grow from 2 milligrams to 8 kilograms,’ whereas 
within a host totally isolated from natural light for a month, the three 
simultaneous instances reached sizes at excision of only 600g, 
680g, and 710g. The complete developmental history and life cycle 
of SCP-074-1, including how they emerge from their host, and their 
size at emergence, is not yet known. 


Footnotes 

1. a smaller containment chamber significantly increases the 
probability of SCP-074 spontaneously breaching primary 
containment 

2. although it lacks the typical isopod marsupium, or "brood pouch" 
in which eggs are incubated 

3. approximately 1.3 times per hour when SCP-074 is shielded from 
ultraviolet light, and approximately 29.2 times per hour when 
SCP-074 is exposed to unfiltered daylight 

4. Personnel who properly understand the concept of "wavepackets" 
are disqualified from working with SCP-074 

5. literally, "becoming a thing"; that is, spontaneously coming into 
existence 

6. the rudimentary knowledge of physics which even poorly- 
educated adult citizens of a technological civilization can acquire via 
cultural osmosis — e.g., magnets can attract or repel each other, 
matter is made of atoms, light has a speed — appears to be 
sufficient

SCP-075: Corrosive Snail 


Item #: SCP-075 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-075 is contained ina 1m 
x 1mx1 m Level-4 corrosion-resistant container, which must be 
contained in a secure chamber with equal corrosion resistance. The 
absolute humidity of the chamber may not exceed 1% at any time. 
Medicinal-grade desiccants must be available at all times in order to 
maintain this level of humidity. If the humidity of SCP-075's chamber 
ever exceeds 1%, all personnel are to be evacuated immediately 
and the site will be locked down until the humidity is reduced to 
acceptable levels. 


All personnel who enter SCP-075's containment chamber must wear 
MOPP Level 4 protection. Injection tests, as well as any test which 
involves an aqueous solution, are strictly forbidden. If any such 
solution comes into contact with SCP-075, the area will be 
immediately locked down and flooded with desiccant until the 
humidity is brought back to acceptable levels. Evacuation of 
personnel remaining in the area is prohibited. 


Description: SCP-075 resembles a large snail 20 cm in length, 

13 cm in width, and 15 cm in height, with a muscular foot resembling 
a six-fingered, clawed hand. SCP-075 is exceptionally heavy, with a 
mass of approximately 860 kg, a property that is not understood. 
Desiccation is the only known means of containing SCP-075, as it 
will enter a dormant state when nearly completely dry. 


When not desiccated, SCP-075 moves at incredible speeds for its 
size and mass. It adopts the behavior of a predator, jumping at and 
drenching its prey in a highly caustic base solution secreted from 
pores on its foot. These secretions are more corrosive than any 
substance known to terrestrial science. Due to SCP-075's 
aggressive behavior when active, this compound cannot be 


harvested. No material completely resistant to its corrosive power 
has been found. 


Addendum 075-F: Attempts to harvest SCP-075's secretions must 
be approved and supervised by all on-site Level 4 personnel. 
However, approval of said personnel cannot override the standing 
order to not introduce any liquid solution to SCP-075, including its 
own secretions. 


Addendum 075-G: A cup of SCP-075's secretions was successfully 
harvested by using SCP-294. Testing is underway to determine 
what substances, if any, are immune to its corrosion. Testing is also 
underway to determine why the cup provided by SCP-294 is 
immune to the substance's effects.

SCP-076: "Able" 


FROM: Dr. 

TO: Director Maria Jones, Recordkeeping and 
Information Security Administration 
SUBJECT: Revision of SCP-076 SCP File 


Le 


| have to go on record as saying that | seriously object to 
the proposed revisions of the SCP-076 Special 
Containment Procedures File. | know that Redact All 
Important Stuff Already claims it's a security risk, but you 
and | both know it's just top brass trying to sweep their 
biggest and most embarrassing mistake ever under the 
damn rug. Omega-Seven happened. It existed. Those 
people died because you screwed up, and you can't 
change that, no matter how hard you try to hide it. 


For God's sake, man, those people guarding him 
deserve to know exactly what he is and what he did. 
What WE did. How we fucked up, so they'll know better. 


Item #: SCP-076 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment Area 25b is to be 
located 200 m below sea level, tunneled out of solid bedrock in a 
seismologically stable area. Sole access to the containment facility 
is to be through a vertical elevator shaft separated every fifty (50) 
meters with a reinforced blast door, constructed of 20 cm thick 
material shielding. Elevator shaft shall be flooded with seawater 
when not in use. 


Containment Area 25b is to be constructed with the following 
components: 


¢ An Outer Security Perimeter against outside threats, staffed 
by security personnel trained in close quarters battle and 
counter-intrusion tactics. 

¢ An Administrative and Support Area (ASA) consisting of 

support facilities and living quarters for on-site personnel. 

A Primary Containment Zone (PCZ), consisting of a 7 m cube 

encased in 1.5 m of reinforced material. PCZ is to be 

designed to be flooded and drained as needed, and should 
remain filled with seawater unless access to contents is 
required. 

* A150 m “killing corridor" which is to be the sole access to the 
PCZ from the ASA (including water, power, drainage, and 
ventilation lines). The walls and floor of the corridor are to be 
reinforced in a similar manner to the PCZ, with the addition of 
an electric deterrence system capable of delivering a 20,000 
volt shock. 


A security station located at the entrance to the killing corridor is to 
be staffed with no fewer than three (3) armed security personnel on 
watch at any one point in time. Armament is to include, but not be 
limited to, at least one (1) CIW system on a pintle mount with a 
clear line of sight down the corridor, with a plexiglass screen to 
protect the operator from thrown weapons. 


In the event of a full breach, all on-site staff are to proceed 
immediately to the closest security station for weapons and armor 
distribution. Staff will remain at Alert Condition One until SCP-076-2 
is confirmed neutralized. Should 90 minutes pass after declaration of 
full breach without a Stand Down order being given by Level 4 or 
higher personnel, Final Contingency Measures will be activated, 
flooding the entire facility in seawater and sealing off the access 
shaft for a minimum of 24 hours before retrieval is attempted. This 
will, by necessity, result in the deaths of all on-site staff. 


Description: SCP-076 consists of two components: a stone cube 
(SCP-076-1) and a humanoid entity contained within (SCP-076-2). 


SCP-076-1 is a3 m cube made of black speckled metamorphic 
stone. All surfaces outside and within SCP-076-1 are covered in 
deeply engraved patterns corresponding to no known civilizations. 
Radioisotope analysis indicates that the object is approximately ten 
thousand (10,000) years old. A door is located on one side, sealed 
with a lock 0.5 m in width, surrounded by twenty (20) smaller locks 
in a circular pattern. As of yet, none of the keys have been found, 
making the door impossible to lock once closed. 


Interior temperature is approximately 93 Kelvin, and cannot be 
altered by any means, internal or external. Directly in the center of 
the room is a 2.13 m tall stone coffin, held in place and sealed shut 
by several chains of unknown make and substance, which are 
attached to the inner corners of SCP-076-1. 


SCP-076-2 resembles a lean Semitic human male in his late 
twenties. Hair is black, and eyes are gray, skin tone olive. Subject is 
1.96 m in height and 81.65 kg in weight. Numerous tattoos depicting 
arcane and occult iconography are present all over the body (mostly 
in the form of leering demonic faces) and ranges from subtle to 
openly ostentatious. Subject, when encased inside SCP-076-1, is 
technically dead. 


However, occasionally SCP-076-2 will awaken, effectively 
"reanimating", complete with all vital processes needed to sustain a 
living human being. Subject will then attempt to leave SCP-076-1. If 
successful, subject will enter a trance state and seek out the nearest 
human being, ignoring all other living things in the process. Upon 
coming into contact with living humans, SCP-076-2 will enter a rage 
state in which it attempts to engage and kill all human beings 
encountered. To date, only the subject's death has been shown to 
be effective in ending these rampages. 


Terminating SCP-076-2 is often problematic due to its significant 
physical abilities. Subject has superhuman strength and speed, and 
although not invulnerable, has shown a remarkable ability to ignore 
pain and shock, pressing on despite what would be debilitating 
wounds in normal humans. Prior encounters have shown that 
SCP-076-2 has the ability to (among other things): 


¢ Rip through a reinforced steel security door over the course of 


four (4) minutes of sustained assault. 
Clear over 64 m of distance in under three (3) seconds. 


Take multiple .50 caliber BMG rounds to the head and survive 
for several minutes to continue killing, despite severe damage 
to the cerebellum. 


Swat handgun and assault-rifle caliber bullets out of the air 
with a length of steel rebar. 


Survive for over one (1) hour deprived of oxygen before finally 
asphyxiating. 


SCP-076-2's most unusual ability, however, is its ability to 
apparently materialize bladed weapons out of nowhere. Slow- 
motion video footage reveals that the blades in question are 
actually pulled from a miniature dimensional rift described as a 
"small hole in space." Where this portal leads is unknown, as 
is how SCP-076-2 is capable of generating said rifts. Footage 
of the blades in question shows them to be made out of a 
completely non-reflective black material appearing as a "black 
void in space." As the blades rapidly vanish after leaving the 
subject's possession, no structural analysis is possible at this 
time. 


SCP-076-2 has effectively been killed several times in various 
manners: 


Sustained fire from multiple heavy-caliber machine guns. 
Asphyxiation. 


Crushed beneath a 13.6 metric tonne piece of elevator 
equipment for use on SCP-076-1. 


Cremation through the use of a Thermate-TH3 grenade 
placed directly inside SCP-076-2's open chest cavity. 


During the worst breach to date, Containment Area-25 (which 
previously housed SCP-076) was forced to detonate its on site 
warhead as a last attempt to contain SCP-076-2 while it was 


attempting escape, resulting in total destruction of the site and 
all on-site personnel. SCP-076-1 survived. 


Upon death, SCP-076-2's remains will putrefy rapidly, until reduced 
to dust. SCP-076-1 and the coffin within will then slam shut with 
great force, and the lock will rotate, sealing it shut. SCP-076-2 will 
then reform within the coffin, a process taking anywhere from six (6) 
hours to twenty-five (25) years. 


What posthumous analysis of SCP-076-2 exists shows that it has a 
internal system highly different from our own, documented in [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. 


Additional: SCP-076 was found in , Mongolia, in 18 , by 
archaeologists from England. All members of the expedition were 
subsequently killed on the return voyage home. SCP-076 was 
recovered from the ship by the Society (one of the 
organizations that later merged into the modern Global Occult 
Coalition) and placed on display in their Inner Sanctum. 


SCP-076 remained in storage for ( ) years, until SCP-076-2 
became active and escapedon - -_ . The reason for SCP-076's 
activation is currently unknown, but it was at this point that the keys 
to the outer shell were lost. A massive manhunt, lasting over three 
(3) years and , took place until SCP-076-2 was incapacitated 
by , killing it and causing it to reform inside SCP-076-1, 
by then retrieved and secured by agents of the SCP Foundation. 


Subject was in custody for three (3) more years, under constant 
supervision, and was terminated whenever it became active, 
although it occasionally was able to escape for short periods of time, 
often due to security breaches caused by attacks from other 
organizations. The Foundation's death toll due to this was [DATA

After the last incident, the current procedures regarding SCP-076

increase in technological standards.
