Description: SCP-001 is an irregularly-shaped volume of space, 
approximately 65,000 cubic meters in volume inclusive of space 
both above and below the original ground level, located at in 
the Sinai. Apart from its thaumaturgic properties (described below), 
SCP-001 is unremarkable, and matter and energy can freely enter 
and leave it. Archaeological work performed by the French 
Commission des Sciences et des Arts in the late 18th century 
indicated the remains of a stone structure at the site dating to the 
late 2nd millennium BCE fitting the description of an inn. As a result 
of the construction of Facility T, no trace of the original structure 
remains. 


SCP-001 is distinguished as the only known natural location on 
Earth with absolute zero ambient Akiva radiation. Experimentation 
has verified that this condition persists even when an emission 
source of Akiva radiation is brought near or within the spatial limits 
of SCP-001,1! which indicates that not only does the outer boundary 
of SCP-001 impermeably block Akiva radiation from crossing it in 
either direction, SCP-001 absorbs and destroys any Akiva radiation 
that would otherwise be generated within its volume. 


As a consequence of SCP-001’s properties, the natural progression 
of degeneration or termination of Homo sapiens cognitive function 
and organic functionality are suspended while the Homo sapiens 


SCP-528: Voodoo Putty 


Item #: SCP-528 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All items designated SCP-528 
are to be kept inside of their individual containers when not in use. In 
the case of a missing or damaged container, a new, non- 
individualized container will be commissioned. All containers of 
SCP-528 are to be kept in secure storage locker Z-12 at Site 23. 
Senior Staff at Site 23 are to be given the combination to said 
locker. No one of lower class than 3 is approved to work on 
SCP-528. The combination is to be changed on a weekly basis. 


Description: There are currently seven instances of SCP-528 in 
Foundation control. SCP-528 can be found in small, red, plastic 
containers, visually identical to those used by the Silly Putty 
Corporation, except that the Silly Putty logo has been replaced by 
"The Factory." 


SCP-528 appears to be an inorganic polymer, composed of 65% 
dimethyl siloxane (hydroxyl-terminated polymers with boric acid), 
17% silica (crystalline quartz), 9% Thixatrol ST (castor oil 
derivative), 4% polydimethylsiloxane, 1% decamethyl 
cyclopentasiloxane, 1% glycerine, and 1% titanium dioxide. While 
similar to common Silly Putty, SCP-528 has several differences. It 
has proven to be completely resistant to tearing, although 
indentation and apparent cuts are possible. When formed into a ball 
and thrown, SCP-528 bounces twice as much as the regular kind. 


The main difference, however, is that SCP-528 is capable of copying 
any picture of a human being it is pressed upon, no matter if ink is 
involved. It can retain an image from paper, photopaper, even from 
a television or computer screen. Once an image has been placed on 
SCP-528, the only ways to remove it are to crumple SCP-528 into a 
ball, or to apply rubbing alcohol.

A dormitory facility has been constructed within Building T-01, 
containing living spaces for all members of the Foundation’s O5 
Council and certain other members of senior management. 
Presently, nine of the twelve members of the O5 Council reside 
within that dormitory, and eight of those nine have not exited from 
Building T-01 since the completion of its construction.2 


Due to SCP-001’s properties, it is also used as a control site for the 
Foundation’s thaumaturgic research program, including the 
development of applications for instances of SCP-2336-A. 


Archival Document 06-S7INF-23-A (Excerpt) 


... In Matters of natural Philosophy and of understanding 
the Substance of the almighty God, we must begin our 
Investigation with the Evidence of our Senses, which 
includes the Testimony of holy Scripture. For no Man 
hath seen God, but the Perception of God may come 
from observing His Creation, and from the careful Study 
of holy Scripture. 


Consider Exodus iv which, being rendered in the 


Hebrew: 


Ann WPI) A way" y17N2 7 71 
"Jn 7D TANI P7297 yini 722 Ny-nN MIDNA TDS apm 
25 ANN ONT 


Which, being interpreted, sayeth: 


And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD 
met him — meaning Moses — and tried to kill him. Then 
Zipporah — the wife of Moses — took a sharp stone, and 
cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and 
said, "Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.'8 


Consider the Teaching of these Verses. Many learned 
Scholars focus their Attention on the Second of these 
Verses, in which Zipporah, the wife of Moses, performs 
the Rite of Circumcision and, in so doing, saves her 
Husband from the wrath of the almighty God. Therein, 
say the Scholars, lies the moral Lesson that none, not 
even God's Prophet, shall be exempt from the Laws of 
His Covenant. 


But consider the First of these Verses, which is so little 
Understood. The almighty God, having formed an Intent 
to kill Moses, attempted to do so and failed. This Episode 
is the Key to the understanding of the Substance of God. 
For we must understand that if Scripture is Infallible, and 
Scripture tells us that the almighty God tried to kill Moses 
but failed, then infallible Scripture sayeth that God is not 
omnipotent, or at least that God's Power does not extend 
to that particular Place. 


Sir Isaac Newton, Observations upon the Substance 
of God (1724) 


"... The newly-invented thaumometric apparatus 
permitted our Order to verify what we had long 
suspected, namely that the Divine Grace - or as some of 
our brethren are more apt to put it - the thaumaturgic 


force - was a phenomenon of actual, measurable 
substance. One of my colleagues proposed the name 
"akiva" as the unit of measurement for this phenomenon, 
after some long-dead Hebrew martyr. This philosophical 
and technological breakthrough prompted the initiation of 
several projects, including a comprehensive mapping of 
conditions and variations of akiva throughout the globe. 
This was not to be a mere frippery such as the charting 
of the source of the Nile or the naming of some 
inconsequential sea-rock- rather, the thaumographic 
map will be an invaluable tool in allowing our Order to 
harness the powers of the Divine Grace. 


"And so, we organized cartographic teams, each 
equipped with a thaumometric apparatus, to commence 
the mapping project, with special concentration on 
regions of particular interest. 


“In a particular corner of the Holy Land, Napoleon 
Bonaparte showed us the way. As you know, Napoleon’s 
campaign into Egypt in 1798 was accompanied by the 
Commission des Sciences et des Arts, which completed 
a comprehensive survey of that country.4 Volume eleven 
of that report charted the geographic locations of historic 
locations, including the biblical Mount Horeb. And so, 
fortified with this information, a team of Freemasons and 
members of our Hermetic Order, led by myself, traveled 
to the Sinai to retrace the steps of Moses from Mount 
Horeb back to the court of Pharaoh. 


Tonight, | am pleased to report to our Order the success 
of this endeavor. We found the Inn." 


Bram Stoker, transcription minutes of meeting of 
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (1874) 


Excerpt of memorandum by Site Director William 
Wynn Westcott® to Samuel Liddell Mathers, October 
16, 1916 


... Having studied the Inn, and testing its properties, only 
One conclusion can be reached. God has a blind spot, 
and we have found where it is. 


The properties of the Inn present a number of 
thaumometric engineering opportunities beyond merely 
hiding from the Angel of Death. We now know that the 
ambient Akiva radiation level within the Inn remains at 
zero regardless of what happens inside. By implication, 
since this is God’s blind spot, there can be no theological 
consequence to an action taken within its boundaries. 
Although | am no physicist, our colleague Nikola has 
described it to me as being essentially a Faraday cage 
for sin. The suitability of such a location as the 
headquarters of the central decision-making body of our 
new Order should be obvious.

located in Building T-01 since the Committee’s inception.) 


Notes of Dr. Marvin Scranton, July 31, 1924 
(excerpted) 


... AS a result of our study of the properties of SCP-001, 
we are now ready to begin our first trials here at Site-36 
for the artificial generation of a shielded Akiva vacuum, 
which we're calling the antimonad. Essentially we're 
going to create another instance of SCP-001. Today’s 
test will be the culmination of over twenty years of 
advances in thaumometric engineering and applied 
theology. Bertrand, my assistant, puts it more bluntly: 
we've built a box and we’re pushing God out of it... 


It turns out that just as nature abhors a vacuum, so does 
immanence. Our instrument readings indicate that when 
the antimonad came on line and the measurable Akiva 
rating within the test capsule dropped to zero, the Hume 
level spiked. We think that something else - something 


that we don't presently have a way of observing or 
measuring - came in. We don’t know what it was or 
where it went... 


O05 Policy Memorandum K-308 (August 2, 1924) 
(excerpt) 


Gentlemen: 

The frequency and severity of anomalous incidents 
appears to have dramatically increased since the 31 July 
incident at Site-36;6 As we have discussed, this episode 
underscores the need for the Foundation to revisit and 
expand its mission charter. To date we have been a 
research organization. But emergency times call for 
emergency measures, and it has become imperative for 
Our organization to do more than contain the specimens 
that we study. We must take steps to secure those 
anomalies not already within the Foundation's custody, 
both in order to protect the anomalies for further 
research and to protect humanity as a whole. 


Effective immediately, the Foundation hereby authorizes 
and establishes an active field operations department. 
Our existing research operation is hereby re-organized 
as comprising a separate and distinct research 
department. This new agency department is hereby 
authorized to immediately organize, fund, staff, equip, 
train and deploy one or more mobile task forces. The 
provisional leadership and budget for the field operations 
department are set forth in the attached exhibit... 


(Note: Memorandum K-308 represents the official commencement 
of the Foundation’s operations to actively collect and contain 
anomalous objects, entities and phenomena, as opposed to merely 
studying them.) 


MEMORANDUM 
To: The Administrator; O5 Council 
cc: Muhammad al-Taqi, Director (Office of Tactical 


Theology) 
From: Sheldon Katz, Esq. 
Date: 3 August 19 


Re: Status of negotiations (Project Uriel) 


| believe that we have reached an understanding with the 
counterparty. The purpose of this memorandum is to 
memorialize the principal points of understanding. As we 
have discussed, the formal agreement will be presented 
in the form of a covenant.’ 


BACKGROUND 

The Foundation’s operations at Facility T have for some 
time been a sticky point vis-a-vis our relations with the 
counterparty. Recent developments, too voluminous to 
be mentioned here, have prompted the Foundation’s 
senior management to seek a rapprochement with the 
counterparty, both to facilitate ongoing research and 
containment efforts, to avoid accelerating a 
theoeschatalogical catastrophe, and to maintain the 
efficacy of certain Foundation protocols such as the 
containment regimen for SCP-1844. At senior 
management's direction, then, my office undertook 
negotiations with the counterparty. The points 
summarized below represent the outcome of these 
negotiations. 


SUMMARY OF POINTS OF UNDERSTANDING 

1. No natural person may physically remain within 
Facility T for a continuous period in excess of 120 years. 
This limit applies to members of the O5 Council, other 
members of the Foundation management and staff, test 
subjects, and others. The Foundation is expected to 
enforce this limitation. 


2. Minutes of the proceedings of the Ethics Committee 
are to be communicated to the counterparty not less 
frequently than annually.8 


3. The counterparty shall not smite, strike down or
