otherwise exact wrath upon any of the Foundation 
personnel named on Exhibit A (as amended from time to 
time by the mutual agreement of the parties) without at 
least 90 days’ written notice and an opportunity to cure 
the transgression; provided, however, that this clause 
shall not be applicable in the case of a tribulation of 
general applicability. 


4. Neither the Foundation nor any of its executive-level 
personnel shall bow down to or worship any divine entity 
other than the counterparty; for |, the LORD am a jealous 
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 
unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate 
me.9 


5. The Foundation and the counterparty shall use 
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with 
respect to the containment of the adverse entities 
described on Exhibit B (collectively, the “Angra Mainyu’). 


Please contact me to discuss the points of understanding 
before the formal agreement is completed. 


Respectfully, 
Sheldon Katz, Prophet of God /s/

Any actions taken upon SCP-528 affect the individual pictured as 
well, usually resulting in the death of the pictured individual. 


Test 1 

SCP-528 applied to picture of D-528-1. Pressure applied to 
SCP-528, causing images arm to stretch. D-528-1 screamed in pain, 
his own arm stretching one inch per centimeter the image was 
stretched. Detailed X-rays reveal bones and flesh of D-528-1 to 
have been [DATA EXPUNGED]. At approximately five inches 
stretching of SCP-528, a gap formed in the image. D-528-1's arm 
came off at the same place, bloodlessly. Further testing revealed 
that while D-528-1 was still affected by SCP-528, his arm no longer 
was. 


Test 2 

SCP-528, still bearing the image of D-528-1, is doused in rubbing 
alcohol, in attempt to remove image. As alcohol is applied to parts of 
the image, analogous parts on D-528-1 vanish. When the torso is 
wiped away, D-528-1 ceases life functions. At this point, SCP-528 
ceases to apply to D-528-1, and is cleaned with no further incidents. 


Test 3 

SCP-528 applied to image of D-528-2. SCP-528 is then crumpled 
into a ball, the image of D-528-2 on the inside. D-528-2 is 
condensed into a ball as well, however, his bones do not break, and 
subject continues to scream until his head is rolled into his 
abdomen. At this point it is believed subject suffocates, as SCP-528 
stops applying to D-528-2. When unrolled flat, image of D-582-2 is 
no longer visible on SCP-528. 


Test 4 

SCP-528 applied to image of D-528-3. SCP-528 is then immersed in 
boiling water. D-528-3 begins to complain of the heat. After 
approximately 5 minutes, the image of D-528-3 on SCP-528 begins 
to run. D-528-3 begins to screams as he melts, flesh and bone both 
sagging equally. Testing is concluded when his nose melts over his 
mouth, blocking his breathing and leading to his suffocation. 


Note: Although clothes are duplicated in the transference of ink, 
they are not affected by SCP-528 in any way. 


WJS Proposal: Normalcy 


Item #: SCP-001 
Object Class: Non-Anomalous 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-001 is kept on a dedicated 
server or library located in a place of the O5 Council's choosing. The 
normal prohibition of O5 members from contacting SCP-designated 
objects does not apply in the case of SCP-001 as it is not 
anomalous. 


Any additions, deletions, or updates to SCP-001 requires the 
consensus decision of the O5 Council. Access to SCP-001 is limited 
to the O5 Council. Access by other Foundation members or non- 
Foundation entities constitutes a containment breach that may result 
in a Broken Masquerade scenario. General amnestic release is 
authorized to be used in the case of a containment breach, up to 
and including global Class A amnesticization, as required. 


Description: SCP-001 is the document describing consensus 
reality. Anomalous activity is therefore defined as any activity that 
occurs outside the parameters of the document. The document may 
describe certain characteristics of reality as inherently anomalous, 
as decided upon by the O5 Council. 


Note from O5 


In case you're wondering why this object is here where it doesn 
First, the SCP-001 slot is specifically reserved for use by the O§ 


Second, "consensus reality" is simply consensus of the Council 


General practice has included universal laws of gravitation, physical 
forces, and basic chemistry, biology, sociology, and philosophy. 
Presently, discoveries and technological development are not 
considered anomalous as long as they are built on a framework of 
knowledge previously designated consensus reality using the 
scientific method. All new claims of discovery are to be monitored for 
developments outside the parameters of SCP-001 which can be 
reproducible. 


Claims of discovery that cannot be reproduced and appear to affect 
the perception of only the individual reporting the claim are not 
considered anomalous and can be allowed into the general public. 
In most cases these claims may result in the public calling them 
"hallucinations," "crackpot theories,” or "conspiracies," and 
discounted. This is to be encouraged because it allows for plausible 
deniability when an anomaly is more widely witnessed in public. 


All activities and objects outside the parameters of SCP-001 are to 
be tracked, secured, contained, removed from public knowledge, 
and protected by the SCP Foundation. Studies from such objects 
can be used in proposals for further updates to SCP-001. 


The following excerpts have been cleared 
by the O05 Council as examples of update 
proposals to SCP-001. In all cases the 
speaker is not identified, nor are the logs 
complete.

Update Proposal: Declaration of modern witch-craft 
traditions arising in the United Kingdom as anomalous 


Dialog: 


Why are we even covering this? There are traditional 
beliefs in cultures throughout history that we do not 
consider anomalous. We must not use our position to 


threaten the right of humanity to believe. 


Except this does not extend from traditional practices. 
This new "witch-craft" is a modern invention, developed 
through a scholarly rereading of practices as an 
alternative to Christianity. It is not a continuation, and 
practitioners are attempting spell-casting. 


Soon you'll say Aleister Crowley has something to do 
with it. The document is clear: theurgy is anomalous, 
religion and spirituality are not. Show me proof that they 
are casting spells that cannot be explained under 
rigorous testing, and | will personally see to containing 
those spells myself. Until then, no, just as Thelema is 
allowed, so shall this witch-craft. For God's sake, we'll 
allow Satanism as long as they aren't channeling 
demonic energies. 


Agreed. Furthermore, we will need all the faith we can 
muster against the theurgic traditions. We never know 
when a new faith will assist in our cause. 


Conclusion: No Update

Update Proposal: Re-evaluation of physics on the 
subject of nuclear fission 


Dialog: 


Thank you for responding to my emergency call. Trinity 
has happened. | can barely comprehend what | saw. It 
was like the sun rising from the desert sand, a dawn of 
destruction and fire that lasted for miles around. | cannot 
believe that such an explosion could ever be seen as 
possible. Tales and prior evidence of the summoning of 
gods have had less impact. | tremble with fear about the 
possibility of people wielding this kind of power, the 
ability to level a city with the flick of a switch. 


Weren't the Germans and Russians also developing this 
technology? We are at war, and this sort of escalation 
happens. 


May | remind my esteemed colleague that we are not at 
war? The United States, Japan, they are at war. We are 
not nations. No, the question stands: is this anomalous? 
Do the physical effects follow from the mathematical 
concepts? 


They do follow. Scientific testing was completed each 
and every step of the way to reach this point. | do not 
believe this is anomalous, no matter how frightening the 
repercussions are. 


What, you're just going to let people hold onto the keys 
to their own destruction? We have fought tooth and nail 
to keep such capabilities out of the reach of man, and 
you're now saying we should abandon our purpose? 


We do not prevent destruction. We sequester the 
anomalous. And as long as we agree that the test was 
arrived at through diligent scientific process, available to 
anyone - 


Available to anyone? Listen to yourself, man! Can you 
imagine a future where any two-bit dictator chooses to 
unleash the fire of a thousand suns wherever he wishes? 
Maybe the problem isn't with the equations. Maybe the 
whole of nuclear physics is anomalous itself. 


Enrico Fermi has already received a Nobel Prize for his 
work on transuranic elements and radioactivity. We can't 
just secure nuclear physics from the world. Radioactivity 
is everywhere, and we end up causing more 
contradictions when we try to send ourselves back to the 
Dark Ages. Try explaining chemistry without referring to 
covalent bonds. Try explaining biology. Nuclear physics 
is here to stay, and we had better get used to the 
consequences of this, no matter how terrifying this will be 
for the planet and for humanity. 


May God have mercy on our souls. 


Conclusion: Recent developments in the studies and 
applications of nuclear fission and the results of their 
unleashing are added to SCP-001.

Update Proposal: Classification of "Worm-That-Walks" 
phenomenon 


Dialog: 


For those unfamiliar with the topic, the "worm that walks" 
is a trope in which a character is actually a writhing hive- 
mind of worms generally held together as a single mass. 
We are not here to discuss this trope. Instead, we are 
here to discuss the recent conspiracy that has arisen 
from it. The conspiracy is the idea that certain individuals 
are actually worms that walk, and not humans. 


Does the conspiracy have any merit? 


No. Individual conspiracy believers are divided 
themselves on who is a worm that walks and who isn't, 
and all evidence indicates that there aren't actual worms 
that walk in the general populace. It pretty clearly falls 
under irreproducible conspiracy theories. | believe there's 
nothing we need to do or change in SCP-001. 


It might not be as irreproducible as we think. 
Why do you say that? 


On 12/11/2013, a believer in the conspiracy from 
Decatur, Alabama, killed his neighbor under the belief 
that the neighbor was a worm that walks. The killer then 
took a video of his deceased neighbor and uploaded it to 
YouTube, claiming it was proof of the conspiracy, and 
that the corpse was dissolving into individual worms 
before his very eyes. He said that he was going to take a 
sample. The video was very quickly blocked and 


removed, and everyone who has viewed the video 
agrees that the subject is unmoving and does not 
dissolve into worms. The killer turned himself in to the 
police while clutching a jar of Tubifex worms and the 
neighbor sent to the Morgan County morgue. Autopsy 
confirmed that the decedent was missing a thumb 
postmortem and killed by gunshot to the chest - which, if 
he were a worm that walks, would be survivable. 


So, this is just the actions of an insane man? No actual 
conspiracy? 


The one item of interest was that after the autopsy, the 
assistant coroner oversaw the return of the body to the 
next of kin. The assistant coroner was also a conspiracy 
believer, and despite not having had any prior contact to 
the parties involved, screamed in disgust upon entering 
the examination room, grabbing a mop and complaining 
about all the worms everywhere. No one else noticed 
any signs of worm infestation. 


Are we positive he didn't come across the video or 
anything? 


We weren't sure. So, to test this, we acquired the corpse 
and showed it to a number of D-class. They all agreed 
that it was a human corpse. We then introduced them to 
the worm-that-walks conspiracy, and upon viewing the 
corpse again, 20% of them agreed that it was actually a 
mass of worms. 


That sounds like a memetic hazard, then. Has the 
conspiracy literature been scanned by the CH 
Department? 


CH found it negative for memetic effects, but did find a 
chart in one pamphlet that would function like a mnestic 
trigger, unlocking a memory. However, of course, it 
would only work if the affected had that memory. 


And that memory would be? 


Having recently seen a living worm that walks. 


Conclusion: Language regarding mnestic triggers 
strengthened to include recent perception. Although 
there remains no evidence that there is any truth to the 
worm-that-walks conspiracy, the repercussions of the 
existence of a mnestic trigger that works is something to 
think about. After all, have you heard about that thing

Event #: EE-00059 


Due to the nature of EE-00059, designation as a proper 
SCP is unnecessary. Knowledge of the existence of 
EE-00059 is largely credited as non-anomalous and 
therefore no containment measures are required at this 
point. Any transmissions or activity arising from 
EE-00059's vicinity are to be reported and purged of all 
public knowledge if possible. 


Event Description: Extranormal Event 
00059 was observed on January 4th, 
2006, in a region of space roughly 1.6 
million light years from Earth.1 It was 
detected via the NASA Deep Space 
Network satellite system over a period of 
three hours. 


EE-00059-1 are a series of low-frequency 
transmissions that originated from the 
direction of EE-00059 during the event. 


Due to the range and speed of radio 
waves it is likely that anomalous 
broadcasting equipment may have been 
used to transmit the messages (See 
EE-00059-1 Transcript Logs for more 
information.)
