File Number: In the above template, XXXXX/XXXXX/KXXXX iS 
used as an identifier for the document. Each X should be 
replaced with a nonzero and non-unary digit or a capital letter; for 
example, a valid identifier is IWN45/N30S8/4EGI5. The number 0 is 
not to be used in the identifier, as it can be easily confused with the 
letter O in documentation; similarly, 1 is not to be used as it can be 
mistaken with |. This numerical identifier is not used as an identifier 
for the item itself, as with SCP objects, but an identifier for the file. 
Items themselves are referred to by their Identifier in daily business 
(see below), but within the document are only to be referred to as 
‘item’ or ‘the item’. 


Status: This refers to the current status of the item. The different 
classes mean, as follows: 

In Reserve: The item is owned by MC&D, but currently not for rent 
or sale. 

Selling: The item is owned by MC&D, and is currently for sale. 


Sold: The item is no longer owned by MC&D, and has been sold. 
This category should also include a subcategory of Acquirable, 
Unacquirable, Destroyed, or Unknown, parsed as Sold (Acquirable), 
Sold (Unacquirable) and so on. 

Renting: The item is owned by MC&D, and is currently available for 
rent or being rented. 

Acquirable: The item is either owned by MC&D but not in its 
posession, as may be the case of items currently undergoing 
analysis by external contractors, or not owned by MC&D but trivially 
capable of being requisitioned from its current owner. 

Unacquirable: The item is not currently owned by MC&D, and 
acquiring it would require sizeable effort. 

Destroyed: The item has been destroyed. 

Unknown: The current status of the item is unknown, and is thus 
either Unacquirable or Destroyed. 


Demand: This is an approximation of the demand for the item. If 
an item can be easily sold at any time, it is rated High; if it is likely to 
find a buyer at auction, it is rated Medium; Low items are unlikely to 
sell at auction and may have a very specific market. The None 
category is when the item has no demand whatsoever. Demand 
categories can be combined as High/Medium or Medium/Low for 
approximations that span these ranges. 


Value: This is not the true monetary value of the item, but the price 
at which it can be sold or rented. This is given in a range for 
unique or limited items, while items which are available via supply 
chain should have a specific stated cost per item. This should not be 
overly specific, with value stated to fewer than three significant 
figures. If the item is being rented, then this should be a fixed price 
to rent the item, either per hour or per day. If the item is unsuitable 
for sale, then this row simply reads Not for Sale. 


Availability: This is the availability of the item. If it is None, then 
the item has been destroyed. A Unique item is one of a kind, for 
example, subdued reality benders should always be unique. The 
category ‘Current Inventory (Numerical Value), Estimated 
(Numerical Value) Worldwide’ is self explanatory, while Established 
Supply Chain means that MC&D can order in copies of the object on 
demand. 


Identifier: The Identifier is the common name for the item; it is the 
name that it is bought or sold under, and the way that objects are 
commonly referred to in MC&D standard operating. This identifier 
must be unique, and normally descriptive, except in the cases such 
as anart items, where the name of the piece is used. As stated 
above, this Identifier is not to be used to refer to the item within the 
documentation. 


Description: The Description section, quite simply, describes the 
item. This section should not describe anything to do with the 
current owner of the item, the creator of the item, or anything 
besides a pure description of the item in its current state. This 
includes both a physical description, as well as a description of its 
anomalous properties. It should be as short as possible without 
omitting information; a good rule of thumb is four sentences long. It 
is not necessary to be overly scientific with this description; plain 
language explanations are more useful. 


Postscript: This is a simple postscript; it may read Marshall, Carter 
and Darke, Ltd. or Marshall, Carter and Dark, Ltd. for older reports, 
and Marshall, Carter and Dark, LLP for newer ones.

Compulsory Subsections 


After the Header, the following subsections must be included in 
order. There should be only one of each of these subsections. 


Initial Report 


The subsection which should normally begin your article should be a 
brief summary of how the object first came to the attention of MC&D. 


IMPORTANT: Dates must always be in the format Month DD, YYYY 
as below, to prevent confusion with American/International dating 
systems.

How did MC&D 
first find this 
item? This is the 
place where you 
should detail that 
particular event, 
as either a first 
person 
description from 
the perspective 
of the author, or 
as a third person 
overview of the 
event. 


Of important 
note is the line 
break code 
within tables, 
where an 
underscore, _, 
must be used at 
the end of any 
line rather than 
simply pressing 
enter within the 
editor. Thus, if 
you're copying 
an MC&D 
document to 
Wikidot from an 
external word 
processor, it 
might need 
some editing.

Cross-SCP Termination Testing for SCP-682 


Due to the highly aggressive, adaptive, and intelligent nature of 
SCP-682, termination testing has been ordered, with clearance from 
O5 Command. With major concerns raised about possible 
developed immunities (due to the failure of SCP-409) and possible 
adaptations, all tests must first be carried out on tissue samples 
taken from SCP-682. This step may be bypassed only by O5 
Command order. 


Item: SCP-689 


Tissue Test Record: 
Overridden by O5-Command 


Termination Test Record: 

SCP-682 exposed to SCP-689. Lights shut off in containment area. 
Lights remain extinguished for 5 minutes. Lights are switched on. 
SCP-689 remains in its original position. SCP-682 is in a pool of 
grey and black liquid, with no observable life signs. D-Class issued 
to physically verify SCP-682 termination, with two Agents 
supervising. D-Class enters three steps into the containment area 
when SCP-682 rapidly rises and attacks D-Class personnel. 
SCP-682 breaks containment and escapes, killing one Agent in the 
process. Remaining Agent killed by SCP-689 due to accidental 
observation during testing. 


Notes: It appears that SCP-682 is not “alive” in a way that is 
currently understood, or is immune to SCP-689. In addition, it 
appears SCP-682 has prior knowledge of SCP-689, or was 
somehow able to understand its function in order to “play possum” 
and escape.

Most of these should be self explanatory; Interest is the amount of 
interest that MC&D has in possessing the item, rather than any 
potential market interest. The identifier used here should be the 
same as the one used above. 


Tracking Information/Inventory 
Information 


Only one of either Tracking Information or Inventory 
Information is to be used for a given item. 


Tracking Information is used for a unique or very limited item. Any 
time that the object changes hands should be logged here. This 
should be complete and up to date. Documentation should be 
similar to the following example:

If the item is unique and has been sold, this subsection should detail 
an auction for it, as well as all bidders on the object. It should also 
include the description provided to purchasers for the listing. This 
description should be different from the description in the Header: 
the purpose of this one is to sell it to a target market.

Sale Records 


If the item is part of an established supply chain, or a large stockpile 
are owned, then items are sold at a fixed price on demand. 
Depending on the time period that the item has been being sold for, 
this section should track either monthly or yearly sales records for 
the item, along with comments on any particular abnormalities in 
sales numbers. While MC&D retains details of every sale, it would 
be boring both to write and read through; it is recommended no 
more than two years or two decades of records should be in one of 
these sections. The following is sample documentation in the format 
that should be used, again for the example of Dr. Wondertainment's 
Bubblebath Bonbons!®:
