Excerpt 35A 


She tried to talk to us. We all heard her voice 
in our heads, in a sort of half-language we 
couldn't fully understand. Some of the others 
passed out immediately. | lasted a little longer, 
but it wasn't because of mental fortitude. It's 
just that she was trying to tell us different 
things. 


She showed Jones a replay of all the 
memories of everything Jones ever felt 
anything about. All over the course of a few 
minutes. She ripped three of the researchers 
apart and put them back together unharmed. 
She doesn't understand human emotion, or 
pain. Or very much about how we experience 
the world. 


Yes, | would say the containment procedures 
are necessary. 


Listen, she wants to remake the world. Into a 
paradise. A paradise filtered through her own 
alien understanding of paradise, but still, a 
paradise designed for us. For humanity. She 
would be happy to make a paradise for any 
sufficiently complex organism she comes 
across first. Anything with a complex enough 
mind to accept her. Say, a dog. Or a housefly. 


If she breaches again, we have to be there 
first. 


What would it be like? | don't know. She 
showed us images — not quite images. | can 
see them in my head, but they're not pictures. 


The closest thing | can think of is what you see 
when you close your eyes suddenly and 
tightly, but brighter and more complex. The 
images had metallic sounds associated with 
them, and sensory details that we don't have 
the words or concepts to describe.

SCP-004: The 12 Rusty Keys and the Door 


Item #: SCP-004 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: When handling items 
SCP-004-2 through SCP-004-13, proper procedure is vital. The 
items are not permitted to be moved off-site unless accompanied by 
two Level 4 security personnel. Under no circumstances should any 
other component of SCP-004 be taken through SCP-004-1. The 
effects of doing so are as yet unknown, and the current cost of 
experimentation makes further research impractical. Should any of 
the objects contained within SCP-004-1 breach containment, or the 
facility be breached, the keys must be brought inside and the door 
closed prior to activation of Site 62’s on-site warhead. Unauthorized 
removal of keys from the testing area is grounds for immediate 
termination. 


Level 1 clearance is required for basic access to SCP-004-1; Level 4 
clearance is required for use of SCP-004-2 to -13. 


Description: SCP-004 consists of an old wooden barn door 
(SCP-004-1) and a set of twelve rusted steel keys (SCP-004-2 
through SCP-004-13). The door itself is the entrance to an 
abandoned factory in [DATA EXPUNGED]. 


Chronological History 


07/02/1949: A group of three juveniles trespassing on federal 
property near find the door. According to their testimony, they 
found a set of rusted keys in an iron lockbox and determined what 
door the keys unlock. The juveniles are taken into custody after they 
contact Sheriff when one of their friends (SCP-004- 
CAS01) goes missing. 


07/03/1949: Local authorities find the severed right hand of 


SCP-004-CAS01 eight kilometers from SCP-004-1. Other parts of 
SCP-004-CAS01's body are found scattered as far as 32 km from 
the factory. Under interrogation, the apprehended juveniles tell 
authorities that upon opening the door with one of the keys, 
SCP-004-CAS01 was torn into several pieces, each of which 
disappeared. At this point, the SCP Foundation takes over the 
investigation. 


07/04/1949: SCP Agent obtains the keys from the local 
authorities to begin testing. Tests show that SCP-004-2 through 
SCP-004-13 all fit into a single lock on the large barred door. 12 
Class D personnel are assigned to test the effects of the door. Of 
the twelve test subjects each trying a different key to enter the room, 
only two survive. Opening the door with any key except SCP-004-7 
or SCP-004-12 caused the test subjects to be torn apart in multiple 
directions; however, no dismembered parts were found until later. At 
the time of writing, only two parts of each subject have been 
recovered (with the exception of the subject using SCP-004- , whose 
pieces were scattered in close proximity). The others have, for all 
intents and purposes, vanished from existence. 


Of the two surviving subjects, only one (having used SCP-004-7) 
returned unharmed. The other came back in a near-catatonic state, 
able only to remove himself from the room and then collapse on the 
floor, and had to be restrained to prevent him from gouging out his 
eyes (see Appendix A: Mental Health Effects of SCP-004). The 
subject using SCP-004-7 said that he had entered a large room, 
impossibly big for the size of the attached building. After his exit, 
SCP-004-1 was propped open and an armed squad of Level 3 
personnel entered. The size of the room is impossible to measure 
and the door frame and the individuals in the room are the only part 
of the room that can be felt or illuminated. 


07/16/1949: The juvenile suspects and Sheriff are 
terminated. 
08/02/1949: is declared a hazardous area "due to 


unexploded ordnance" and fences erected in order to prevent 
civilian ingress. Tests to determine safety of exposure to 
environment behind SCP-004-1 begin. 


12/01/1950: Space-time anomalies resulting from exposure to 
SCP-004 are confirmed. Testing is suspended until further notice. 


07/02/19 : The unaccounted-for remains of SCP-004-CAS01 
appear unexpectedly outside SCP-004-1. Despite being killed 
decades before, the remains of SCP-004-CAS01 are not 
decomposed in any manner and are still warm to the touch. Blood 
remains uncoagulated. The remains are remanded for testing. 


07/04/19 : The unaccounted-for remains of one of the twelve (12) 
original test subjects appear in similar manner to those of SCP-004- 
CAS01. The remains have been designated SCP-004-CAS02. 
Records suggest that both SCP-004-CAS01 and CAS02 used 
SCP-004- . 


03/21/1999: With the massive proliferation of nuclear weapons and 
World War Ill only years away, construction has begun on a site 
inside SCP-004-1. The site is to stock supplies for person-days. 


04/21/1999: has ordered the site inside SCP-004-1 to be 
expanded to include emergency storage for all mobile SCP- 
specimens anda _ -petabyte database for the storage of all SCP 
data. The facility is now referred to as Site-62. 


09/25/2000: Site-62 is operational. Labs and containment units are 
complete and can contain the most dangerous specimens. Backup 
of the SCP database has begun. 


01/25/2001: Due to time anomalies (see “Space-Time Anomalies” 
below), all personnel working at Site-62 are now required to reside 
on-site permanently. Families of personnel are to be informed that 
loved ones perished in an industrial accident. Cloned bodies have 
been prepared for funeral. 


08/14/2003: Massive power outage across Northeast United States 
and through Canada. Due to the initial failure of multiple SCP 
generators, Site-62 was without power for fifty-three (53) minutes. 
During those fifty-three (53) minutes, those on site were completely 
without any source of light. They reported "sensing" creatures and 
people, although no abnormal entities could be seen or felt. 
Selected facility personnel were allowed to read (Appendix 


A) and said the creatures "sensed" were of humanoid size but 
otherwise similar to the massive green creature described. 


Space-Time Anomalies 


SCP-004 seems to propagate spatiotemporal anomalies. Personnel 
leaving the facility report losing time. Those who have been in the 
site for weeks insist that they had only been in the facility for several 
days, and records of work completed and supplies consumed 
support their claims. Other temporal anomalies involve SCP-004-2 
through -13, especially the reappearance of SCP-004-CAS01 and 
SCP-004-CAS02 exactly years after using SCP-004- . 

has been assigned to investigate all aspects of these 
time anomalies. Spatial anomalies include the impossibly large 
dimensions of the area opened by SCP-004-7. Similarly, the 2003 
blackout incident suggests that there exists an alternate plane of 
existence within the same space that Site-62 occupies. 


Additional Notes 


Testing on SCP-004 reveals that ten of the keys open SCP-004-1 on 
a dimension where the laws of physics and topology are significantly 
different than those of our home dimension. Test subjects meeting 
these hostile conditions are torn apart, their body parts deposited in 
various locations, only three of which have been verified to be on 
Earth. Material deposited at two of these points appears 
immediately; material deposited at the third appears exactly years 
into the future. The other seven locations are currently unknown. 


Current testing focuses on two avenues of research. The first is 
finding ways to survive SCP-004’s hostile topologies. The second 
[DATA EXPUNGED] suggest that SCP-004-2 through -13 may open 
doors other than SCP-004-1. 


Appendix A: Mental Health Effects of SCP-004-12 
All Class D personnel using SCP-004-12 return in a catatonic state, 


unable to speak. Some may have enough energy left to try to claw 
out their eyes. Of the 16 subjects, only 4 have survived. Only one 


has regained speech, following long-term psychotherapy. He was 
able to tell the psychiatrist that he saw a massive green creature, so 
large that much of its body extended beyond his field of view. He 
reported innate fear and sudden recognition, “as if it were something 
buried deep in [his] primal fears,” and forced implantation of 
“incomprehensible” memories. Subject displays acute anterograde 
and retrograde amnesia. 


Appendix B: Additional Information 


Item #: SCP-004-14 
Date of Discovery: 09/02/1950 


Origin of Object: Object was discovered elsewhere in factory area, 
in the previously undiscovered manager's office. 


Description: Object appears as a large, unvarnished wooden box. 
The box may be unlocked by the "safe" key, SCP-004-7, as well as 
five of the "unsafe" keys (see Document SCP-004-1). 


Upon unlocking SCP-004-14 with SCP-004-7, the box opens 
automatically on hinges. The volume of the space inside is precisely 
five times greater than the outer dimensions imply. Items placed 
within while the lid remains open do not affect the weight or any 
other properties of the box. When the lid is closed and locked, 
however, all items inside vanish irretrievably. Personnel locked 
inside the box are also irretrievable, although losing personnel in this 
fashion appears to affect significantly the dreams experienced by 
[DATA EXPUNGED].

SCP-005: Skeleton Key 


Item #: SCP-005 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-005 poses no immediate 
risk in any direct sense. Even so, its unique functions require special 
measures be taken to restrict access and manipulation of the object. 
Approval of at least one (1) Level 4 personnel is required for the 
removal of the object from its containment area. 


Description: In appearance, SCP-005 resembles an ornate key, 
displaying the characteristics of a typical mass produced key used in 
the 1920s. The key was discovered when a civilian used it to 
infiltrate a high security facility. SCP-005 seems to have the unique 
ability to open any and all forms of lock (See Appendix A), be they 
mechanical or digital, with relative ease. The origin of this ability has 
yet to be determined. 


Additional Notes: SCP-005 may be used as a replacement for lost 
security passes, but only under the supervision of at least one (1) 
Level 4 personnel. SCP-005 may not be used for vending machine 
repairs, opening lockers, or for any personnel's spare home key. 
Removal of the object from the compound will result in immediate 
termination. 


Appendix A: While SCP-005 has been shown to be effective in 
removing almost any form of locking device, further experiments 
have shown that efforts to disguise the purpose or identity of a lock 
have proven at least somewhat successful in defeating SCP-005's 
ability. In approximately 50% of cases where a volunteer was not 
able to identify a locking device as such, SCP-005 was not 
successful in deactivating the device. Due to these results, SCP-005 
has been tentatively classified as 'sentient' and further tests are 
being run to determine its cognitive abilities. However, there are no 
results that show any traits that prevent it from being able to identify 


any particular locking device, only that the aforementioned device 
has been heavily concealed and disguised.

SCP-006: Fountain of Youth 


Under direct orders of the founder, access 
is limited to those with Overseer 
clearance. 


Overseer Clearance Granted 
Item #: SCP-006 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Whereas the nature of 
SCP-006 does not warrant any extensive containment, a certain 
level of secrecy is necessary regarding the object's existence and 
properties, for obvious reasons. The following procedures are 
required not for personnel safety, but to deny or hide knowledge of 
SCP-006's effects from the personnel who interact with it. 


1: All personnel interacting with SCP-006 in any physical way are 
required to wear modified class VI BNC suits. Before personnel are 
allowed to perform procedures, they must be briefed with Material 
SCP-006B or SCP-006C. SCP-006A Briefing is the correct one and 
is restricted to only those with O5 clearance. To assure personnel 
are wearing suits properly, they are to be submerged into a pool of 
water. Any air bubbles spotted signify a leak in the suit. 


2: Procedures with SCP-006 are to be carried out under extreme 
surveillance. In case of contact with SCP-006, the commander in 
charge will announce Procedure 006-Xi-12, which the personnel 
have been briefed to believe to mean high toxicity is present and 
they must evacuate. 


3: Any procedure in which liquid is acquired from SCP-006 must be 
approved by three (3) O5 level personnel. The liquid is to be 


transferred in a Quad-Sealant Container and under armed guard. 


4: lf at any time personnel come into contact with SCP-006 or liquid 
from SCP-006, they are to be confined and terminated after 
sufficient studies are done. Due to the nature of SCP-006, the most 
effective termination method is incineration. (For full report, see file 
SCPO006-TerO5) 


Description: SCP-006 is a very small spring located 60 km west of 
Astrakhan. Foundation Command was aware of its existence since 
the 19th century, but were unable to secure it until 1991 due to 
political reasons. On the spot of the spring, a chemical factory has 
been constructed as a disguise, with the majority of laborers under 
Foundation and/or Russian control. The liquid emitted from the 
spring has been chemically identified as simple mineral water in 
1902, but has the unusual property of "health".
