Description: SCP-057 is a subterranean chamber with an 
approximate cylindrical height of three (3) meters and diameter of 
eighteen (18) meters. Artifact is comprised of impenetrable slate- 
coloured stone. Inside the chamber are dozens of parallelepiped 
monoliths extending from floor to ceiling that slide in various 
directions while SCP-057 is active. It was discovered several meters 
below on // during the construction of a secure containment 
enclosure for SCP- . Consequently, SCP- was assigned an 
alternate location at Site- . 


An entrance to the chamber is located on the north-east side. When 
a human enters, the door shuts and the walls inside the chamber 
move in such a way as to require the subject's constant attention to 
maintain a safe course through the artifact. The monoliths slowly 
open and close until the subject either surrenders or exhausts 
themselves, at which time SCP-057 crushes them and reverts to its 
original, inactive state after a period of approximately twenty (20) 
seconds. This process lasts only as long as the subject inside 
SCP-057 is alive and has proven to take days. Extended testing 


proposals to gauge the limits of the artifact have been discouraged. 
All tests on animals, machines, and cadavers have proven futile. 
Only a living, breathing human being is able to initiate this process 
upon entering SCP-057. 


+ Incident Report 057-1 


Incident 057-1: During the excavation of the artifact, a 
worker employed by the Foundation for the unearthing 
process entered the chamber without permission at 
roughly 12:57 AMon //_ .Uponentering the artifact 
the door shut and a dull rumble began to emanate from 
the chamber. Standard lockdown procedure was initiated 
and all personnel in the vicinity were evacuated. A 
Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) was deployed in order 
to safely determine the cause of the event and to gauge 
any possible threat of SCP-057. Aside from the rumbling 
noises produced during the event, no anomalous effects 
outside of the artifact were observed. At 4:32 AM of the 
following day, SCP-057 suddenly shut down and 
returned to its original state as the door shifted back into 
its open position. At 5:32 AM, the area was declared safe 
and the excavation process was completed without 
further incident. The worker in question was never 
recovered. 


+ Experiment Log 057-1 


Experiment Log 057-1: A controlled experiment for the 
purpose of exploring the interior of SCP-057 was 
requested by Drs. Lewis and Walstonon / / and 
approved shortly thereafter by O5 Council. D-1021 was 
equipped with a radio able to send and receive 
transmissions to and from the Drs. Upon entering the 
chamber the artifact behaved as expected with the door 
abruptly shutting behind D-1021. The following is a 
transcript of the communication between Dr. Lewis, Dr. 
Walston and D-1021. 


D-1021: Hey, you didn't tell me the door would 
close. Can you open it again? This place gives 


me the heebie-jeebies. 


Dr. Lewis: Negative, please proceed as 
advised and describe your surroundings. 


D-1021: Okay.. Well, there are a bunch of 
stone columns in here, and they keep 
rearranging their positions. I... 


Dr. Walston: D-1021? What is your status? 


D-1021: Damn column snuck up on me. 
They’re moving around, arranging themselves 
so they... [Pause] 


Dr. Walston: What is it? 


D-1021: The columns behind me are closing 
up. The ones ahead of me are spreading out... 
| don't like this. [Inaudible] can't see the door 
anymore. 


Dr. Lewis: Stay calm. Move with the columns 
and you'll be fine. 


D-1021: If | stand still, they'll crush me. | have 
to keep moving or they'll crush me. [Seventeen 
seconds of silence] How long am | gonna be in 
here? 


Dr. Walston: It'll be over soon, you're doing 
fine. Just keep moving. 


D-1021: But what if I’m trapped in here? I... 
[D-1021 begins to hyperventilate] I'm trapped 
and they're gonna crush me and- 


Dr. Lewis: D-1... Hey, listen! Get a hold of 
yourself. The columns will eventually lead you 
to an exit. Please relax and continue. 


[Subject calms down noticeably] 


D-1021: So there’s... an exit? Thank god. | 
was scared there for a second that I’d never 
[SUPERFLUOUS DIALOGUE EXPUNGED] 


Dr. Walston: Yep, keep it up and you'll be 
right as rain. You're doing a great job. You'll 
have no trouble making parole once this is 
over. 


[The experiment continues without incident for 
another forty-one (41) minutes. At this point, 
D-1021 becomes noticeably distressed again.] 


D-1021: | saw how big this place is from the 
outside. Am | going in a circle? 


Dr. Lewis: Negative. Continue to proceed 
through the opening columns. You should find 
the exit- 


D-1021: There is no fucking exit! You bastard 
sonsabitches trapped me in here and now I'm 
fucking... trapped! 


[Subject begins to hyperventilate again] 


Dr. Walston: You are not trapped, D-1021. 
Continue to the exit or you will be forced to- 


D-1021: Forced to what!? There's nothing you 
can do to me I'm gonna fucking die I'm gonna 
die- 


Dr. Lewis: D-1-0-2-1! Panicking will only 
exacerbate your situation. Focus! 


[D-1021 breaks into tears. He continues to cry 


for the next two (2) hours as he makes his way 
through the columns and does not reply to any 
questions. Eventually, the crying ceases] 


D-1021: So this is it. [Deep exhalation] I’m 
gonna die. | guess I'll just stop and close my 
eyes. Maybe it won’t be so bad. [Several 
minutes of silence] | can’t. | can’t. | can't, | 
can't. | can't. 


[D-1021 continues to repeat this for several 
minutes. Eventually he trails off and falls silent] 


Dr. Walston: D-1021? 


[D-1021 stops in his tracks, breathing slowly 
but heavily. Faint sobbing is audible] 


Dr. Walston: D-1021, proceed through the 
room as advised! 


D-1021: |. I... 


[D-1021’s gentle sobbing abruptly cuts off. 
Brief, loud cracking and snapping sounds are 
heard before the transmission is lost. 
Strangely, D-1021 did not report any sightings 
of the remains of the excavation worker lost in 
Event 057-1. Accordingly, no efforts were 
made for the recovery of D-1021’s remains. As 
a result of this inconclusive data, 
reclassification of SCP-057 to Euclid is 
pending.]

SCP-058: Heart of Darkness 


Item #: SCP-058 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-058 is to be kept in 
isolation ina 5 m by 5m by 5 m containment chamber at all times. 
Walls are to be constructed of 3 m (10 ft) of reinforced heat-resistant 
steel, backed with a further 10 m (33 ft) of reinforced concrete. 
SCP-058 is to be fed a live cow every three days. Maintenance is to 
be conducted every sixty (60) minutes while SCP-058 is dormant 
and every fifteen (15) minutes when SCP-058 is active. Under no 
circumstances is SCP-058 to be allowed out of its containment area. 
SCP-058 is to be audio recorded at all times. No personnel are to 
listen to SCP-058 for more than thirty (30) minutes at a time. In case 
of escape, facility is to be considered compromised and detonation 
of on-site nuclear weaponry is to commence. To date, SCP-058 has 
been responsible for the death of at least one hundred and forty- 
nine (149) Class-D personnel and fourteen (14) Agents at its current 
site. 


Description: SCP-058 resembles a bovine heart, with four (4) 
arthropod-like legs used primarily for movement, and four (4) 
tentacles of adjustable length, covered with razor sharp spines. It 
has a single sharp 'stinger' on its rear, where the hole for the 
superior vena cava would be in a typical organ. SCP-058's tentacles 
can be "whipped" to a distance of 3.2 m (10.5 ft) at speeds in excess 
of 320 km/h (200 mph). SCP-058 is extremely hostile and will use 
every opportunity afforded to it to inflict damage on its surroundings. 
SCP-058 has been shown to be highly resilient to trauma, and 
should be approached with caution even when apparently 
incapacitated. 


SCP-058 is highly mobile and capable of rapid movement on both 
horizontal and vertical surfaces. It has been recorded reaching a 
speed of approximately 90 km/h (55 mph) in short bursts, covering 


distances up to 200 m (656 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 
0 to 90 km/h (55 mph) in less than two (2) seconds. It has been 
shown to use its tentacles for increased leverage and stability, as 
well as utilizing them to pull itself to other surfaces at high speeds. 


SCP-058 ‘speaks’ in a human voice, though no method of producing 
sound has been observed in its physiology. It soeaks with vocal tone 
and accent of an elderly British male with a slight lisp and deep 
voice. SCP-058 talks constantly, regardless of conditions: even 
when attacking, SCP-058's voice and pace of speech are 
unchanged. The speech of SCP-058 lacks any detectable 
correlation to events, persons, or exterior locations involved with 
SCP-058 (see Transcript of Interview 058-04). 


Notes: 


SCP-058 was first encountered at Site as it came out of [DATA 
EXPUNGED]. SCP-058 was extremely hostile and appeared to be 
very agitated. Initially SCP-058 attacked Site , which resulted in the 
death of facultyand Agents. SCP-058 went on to attack the 
nearby town of , resulting in the death of over [REDACTED] 
citizens and the destruction of seventy percent (70%) of the 
surrounding buildings. 


Post-Breach analysis determined a majority of the deaths are 
attributable to fire and fire-related injuries, resulting from a 
widespread of "stinger fluid" by SCP-058 from a large structure. This 
is also blamed for a majority of structural damage. by 
SCP-058 accounts for only 8% of total deaths, with major evidence 
[DATA EXPUNGED] 


SCP-058 was finally contained after being crushed and 
incapacitated by a large amount of masonry from a building that had 
collapsed on top of it. SCP-058 was then extracted and transported 
to by Agents and MTF teams. SCP-058 was contained at 

for three weeks, during which it made minimal attempts to move, 
attributed both to physical damage and bloating from during 
the initial breach incident. Testing during this period was limited, with 
SCP-058 still maintaining a high threat level even in its impaired 
state. 


SCP-058 breached containment on / / during an attempted 
transfer to an SCP Containment Site, causing multiple deaths and 
injuries. SCP-058 was eventually incapacitated by Agent , who 
managed to subdue SCP-058 by running it over with an M1 tank, 
pinning it beneath the armored vehicle. SCP-058 was subsequently 
secured and transported to Armed Bio-Containment Area 14. 


Transcript of Interview 058-04: 


SCP-058: / had dreams of the queen wonders that lived 
inside the hearts of love and silent treatments of all the 
elderly that | knew were once whole. 


Dr Johnston: What is your name? 


SCP-058: / seek the revelations of all that the holy told to 
the unwise in the dreams of cold embers in sunlight that 

fade across lakes of black blood and snakes that eat the 

loaves of children from lamb trees in autumn. 


Dr Johnston: What is your name? 


SCP-058: Endless suffering is the woe of ignorant men 
who never lack to seek the depth of their own hearts and 
only see the wealth of a poor world suffering to flay its 
own back in knife wounds of silver and brutal gladness. 


Dr Johnston: Where are you from? 


SCP-058: The nightmare is a dream to the nameless 
slug that wanders across minefield and the remains of 
deer and kings. 


Personnel D-067: This is some creepy ass- (D-067 cuts 
off into screaming) 


SCP-058: Nightshade is shadows in all honest blinks 
that sort through the bile of newborn plagues, instant 
warmth is a mother's milk in dreams before anything was 
ever evil. 


Personnel D-067: (Continues screaming) 


Dr Johnston: Let him go! 


SCP-058: /n seconds the sun is beating like drums in all 
hearts eat the ear of noise. 


Personnel D-067: (Screaming is cut short abruptly) 


SCP-058: The sensual violence of lust is all the 
assurance you will ever need to know the worth of life.

SCP-059: Radioactive Mineral 


Item #: SCP-059 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: A single specimen of SCP-059 
is kept at Site-11B inside a graded-Z laminate shielding box 
composed of depleted uranium, tantalum, tin, steel, copper, and 
aluminum. Surrounding SCP-059’s containment box is a 7 x 7x 7m 
area sealed as a Level-4 Biohazard area, and surrounded by 3 cm 
of lead shielding. This area is to be sprayed daily with a solution of 
methyl isothiocyanate to prevent overgrowth of SCP-059-1. 


Personnel entering an SCP-059 affected area are cautioned to wear 
appropriate biohazard protection, as well as type K-59-B radiation 
shielding. They are to remain in the area for no more than 15 
minutes, as the radiation shielding is only partially effective. 


SCP-059-1 infestations found in the wild should be contained by 
removing the SCP-059 specimen responsible, and incineration of all 
observed SCP-059-1. Large underground infestations are best 
neutralized by fuel-air (thermobaric) explosives. 


Additional specimens of SCP-059 are not needed for 
experimentation, and should be transported to Site-11B for 
incineration by plasma arc at 10,000 Kelvin. 


Description: SCP-059 is a radioactive mineral of unknown origin, 
superficially resembling scheelite. A component of SCP-059 is 
believed to originate in an alternate universe, and to be responsible 
for its anomalous properties. In addition to alpha, beta, and gamma 
radiation, SCP-059 specimens produce a previously unknown type 
of radiation, apparently unique to the object, tentatively designated 
‘delta radiation’. Delta radiation is accompanied by Cherenkov 
radiation, visible as a blue glow. 


Delta radiation is only partially contained by standard radiation 
shielding; the best results have been obtained using graded-Z 
laminate shielding with an additional super-dense metal layer. This 
reduces the effective range of delta radiation from approximately 
20 m to approximately 6 m. 


When an area is exposed to delta radiation for more than 15 
minutes, an unknown species of fungus (designated SCP-059-1) 
begins to grow on any exposed surface. This fungus does not 
require any standard nutrition, but will die within 24 hours of removal 
from a delta radiation source. SCP-059-1 is itself radioactive, but 
does not emit delta radiation. However, if a critical mass 
(approximately kg/m3) of SCP-059-1 is allowed to grow, delta 
radiation from an unknown source other than SCP-059 will appear in 
the area, further supporting SCP-059-1 growth. (Interested readers 
may consult Dr. for his theories of space-time stress and 
merger of alternate realities). Within 18 hours, the infected mass will 
become transparent and disappear, presumably into the universe 
that is the source of delta radiation. The process then continues with 
SCP-059-1 infecting new material. 


SCP-059-1 will infest both living beings and inanimate objects. 
Humans (and animals) infected with SCP-059-1 become immune to 
the effects of ionizing radiation, but progressively merge with 
SCP-059-1, and eventually have all tissues replaced by fungal 
growth. While generally non-violent, they will attempt to expose 
unaffected individuals to SCP-059. SCP-059-1 infections do not 
appear to be directly contagious, but only spread by contact with 
delta radiation. However, long-term exposure to SCP-059-1 has not 
been adequately tested to rule out considering it a biohazard (as 
well as a known radiation hazard). 


Infected individuals still capable of communication describe seeing a 
world entirely covered with SCP-059-1, where much of the surface is 
composed of SCP-059. It is unclear whether this is a hallucination or 
a view into the source of SCP-059. Infectees are generally pleased 
with their condition and often refer to being in "the blue light of 
heaven."
