<09/09/2002> 487th recorded movement of 
SCP-179. SCP-179 points at an armed Type-11 
Dimensional Weapon [FURTHER DATA ON 
XCP-11-DW EXPUNGED AS PER 05-11 
EXECUTIVE COMMAND] launched from Area-08 
to test SCP-179's detection capacities. Item 
remains in a primed configuration for minutes, 
ready to be launched at a test location on Earth. It 
is not identified by SCP-179 until it is 3,670 
kilometers above the Earth's surface, when 
SCP-179 reacts to it as a threat and points at it. 
Device subsequently reconfigured to a stand-by 
configuration and redirected towards its primary 
target, [DATA EXPUNGED] still in transit from the 
Kuiper Belt. SCP-179 returns to its previous 
position. 

<16/10/2003> Contact with SCP-179 is achieved 
via the -2 probe. Subsequent movements 
registered in Addendum SCP-179-02. SCP-179 
reclassified Thaumiel. See Addendum 
SCP-179-02. 


Addendum SCP-179-02: Events of 16/10/2003. 


SCP-179 was first approached by the -2 probe, a 
microsatellite equipped with multiple recording, analysis 
and communications devices incorporated into the 
probe in a clandestine operation. The probe acted 
as a relay for the -2 probe and Foundation Mission 
Control. 


Contact and communication with the entity were not 
foreseen nor programmed. When visual contact with 
SCP-179 was established (obtaining an unprecedentedly 
clear, very high resolution image of its surface), the entity 
begins to move its lips, forming the phonemes of a 
greeting in spoken French. What follows is a complete 
translation of the exchange. 


SCP-179 / <17:34:23>: Hello. 
SCP-179 / <17:39:38>: I'm the lookout. 


SCP-179 / <17:42:38>: My name is 
Sauelsuesor. Do you like my brother? | like 
him too. He is big, so big. 


SCP-179 / <17:43:01>: And so very warm. 


SCP-179 / <17:43:11>: If you want to talk to 
me, please use your satellite to weave-talk to 
me. It'll be easier than coming here. Probably. 
(Entity remains immobile until <17:55:53>) 


(Researchers assigned to SCP-179 detect this 
movement. Level 3 Researcher Tomas 
Graham, who is fluent in French, is selected by 
Head Researcher [REDACTED] to conduct a 
possible exchange with SCP-179. The -2 
probe is used as a radio relay from this point 
onward; SCP-179 is able to receive, 
understand and transmit radio 
communications. SCP-179's transmissions 


read as a monotone, featureless human voice 
that speaks in French. The subsequent 
exchange occurs with a 16 minutes and 39.6 
seconds delay between each message, 
corresponding to the distance between 
SCP-179 and Earth and return, that will be 
omitted in the rest of this document.) 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Who are you? 


SCP-179: My name is Sauelsuesor. | am the 
lookout. | behold. | often see. | often warn. 
Almost always, when | have to. That way, 
there is further life. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: What do you 
mean, the "lookout"? 


SCP-179: It's me. (smiles) 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: We have 
noticed the significance of your movements. 
Who do you report to? 


SCP-179: To those who know where to look. 
To you. To those who want to look. Not just 
you. But you, too. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: When you say 
brother, are you referring to the Sun? 


SCP-179: He is my brother, Sauel. He warms 
me up. He is caring fire and loving light. He 
caresses me with his arcs and his voice and 
renews me. He is the source of all true light. 
He is your source. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Where do you 
come from? 


SCP-179: | was born a child. (the entity nods 
towards Earth.) 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: For how long 
have you been in your current location? 


SCP-179: | do not want to tell you. (smiles) 
(SCP-179 adopts a fetal position, remains 
looking towards the Earth and pointing at 
[REDACTED]. Face of the entity remains 
visible from the -2 probe) 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: How did you 
reach your current position? How did you 
acquire the properties you currently possess? 


SCP-179: | was grown into a woman. This is 
how | live now. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Could you give 
us further details, please? 


SCP-179: No. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: We would like 
to Know more about you. Why not tell us? 


SCP-179: | am sorry. | won't be yours. | can't 
belong to any one person. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: The 
Foundation's work protects all of humanity, all 
life on Earth. Don't you find this work of the 
greatest importance? 


SCP-179: Yes. | am doing it. Look upon me 
and know. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: If we have 
understood your capacities correctly, we 
believe you could do far more than that. 
Sharing all the information you have, not just 
about the dangerous threats against 
humankind and Earth, could be of great benefit 
to all parts involved. 


SCP-179: | am too big, and you are too small. 
There is a sea of nothing and islands of light. | 
am their shore. To you come the monsters. 
The pounding fists of void. The longing gods 
beyond our knowledge. | am the lookout. | see 
the ripples in their wake. You want me to 
pledge my sight-know to you, only to you, so 
you, only you, can be greater. Even if you find, 
restrain, defend. You want me to be yours. 
That is not why | am here. There are others. 
Others | assist. Others | warn. Others beyond 
your thin walls of grey, dry paste-rock. Others 
beyond the reach of your weary satellites. 
Others beyond the home, our home. Others | 
know. Others | love. Others you won't care for. 
Others that came before. And, over all, others 
beyond the little walls of rules and bone and 
laws and flesh and memories and oaths you 
build around yourselves until you don't even 
remember them. Others | love. Dearly. And 
yet, only my brother is an equal to me. 


RESEARCHER GRAHAM, T: Excuse me, | 
don't understand what do you mean by 
"others". Could you, please, explain yourself 
with other words? 


SCP-179: (smiles) But | have no words left. 


Closing: Despite several communication attempts, 
SCP-179 did not perform any other movements nor 
transmit other messages. Up to this date, SCP-179 has 
not responded to any message coming from any 
Foundation contact team or any other efforts from known 
Groups of Interest.

SCP-180: Identity Thieving Hat 


Item #: SCP-180 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All head wear (including hair 
clips and bows) is restricted in Reliquary Research and Containment 
Site-76 for all outside security. Anyone violating this rule is subject to 
complete physical search, auditing of travel within Site-76, and DNA 
identity testing. 


SCP-180 is not to leave its research laboratory. The current 
appearance of SCP-180 is to be reported to Security daily. Security 
is to be notified immediately should personnel encounter someone 
they don't recognize in their department, performing or dressed as if 
they belonged there (as their identity might have been stolen). 


Description: SCP-180 appears as a hat or other form of head wear 
or hair accessory. Any individual who places SCP-180 on their head 
will have their identity 'stolen' by the hat. This effect causes the 
original host to be completely unrecognizable, even to people 
strongly familiar with the subject. Individuals observing a subject 
who has had their identity stolen will only be able to vaguely 
describe features of the individual such as hair and eye color, skin 
tone, and clothing, but will not be able to recognize the identity of the 
subject. Host subjects are unable to convince others of their identity. 
This effect lasts until SCP-180 has selected a new host. 


Once SCP-180 has stolen the identity of a host subject, when 
SCP-180 is placed upon any other subject's head, the identity of the 
first subject (host) is imprinted on the second subject. This is 
possible not only for people, but for animals and inanimate objects. 
For example, subjects have mistaken dogs, statues, and coffee 
tables for the host of SCP-180 when the hat is placed on these 
objects. 


SCP-180's appearance changes upon changing host. However, the 
effect is only visual. The object has appeared as a top hat, a skull 
cap, a baseball cap, a bandanna, a hair clip, a hijab, anda 
motorcycle helmet, amongst other objects. Imaging using MRI and 
3D ultrasound has shown that SCP-180 is in reality nothing more 
than a worn length of linen or cloth resembling a veil or shroud. 
Placing SCP-180 on the head properly actually covers the face. 
Research has been unable to explain how and why radiation (visual 
and infrared) is manipulated by SCP-180 to produce false images.

SCP-181: "Lucky" 


Item #: SCP-181 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-181 lives in the class D 
personnel dormitories on Bio-Research Area-12. SCP-181 is, for all 
intents and purposes, a Level 0 clearance personnel, knowing 
vaguely the nature of the SCP without any sensitive information 
having been revealed. Researchers and surveillance staff are 
reminded to not single SCP-181 out of his class D group. SCP-181 
is to be rotated to a new dorm once a month instead of regulation 
class D termination. SCP-181 is not to be submitted to any new or 
Keter classified SCP testing sessions. 


Memo to all staff: 

In light of recent discoveries re SCP-181's anomalous 
properties, 181 has been transferred to Site 27- and 
placed in solitary confinement. All staff are ordered to 
take the fullest possible precautions when operating 
within the site. 181 is not to be allowed interaction with 
site personnel beyond the bare minimum to ensure 
survival and security. -Dr Knucklebone 


Description:G O , formerly LvD-87465, had been 
incarcerated for repeated offenses of defrauding the Nevada 
Gaming Commission. Following the 18th month of his life sentence, 
he was quietly moved to Armed Reliquary Containment Area-02, 
where he was initiated and assigned a Level D clearance. His first 
exposure experiment was with SCP-_, and the results were bloody 
but expected. When LvD-65468 was exposed to SCP- _, he 
rampaged and killed those in the room, but SCP-181 was spared 
when an armed response team put down LvD-65468. 


SCP-181 was included into an experiment with SCP-075 the week 
following the incident with SCP-_ . It was during this test that 


SCP-181's unnatural effect on probability was discovered. When 
placed in the containment chamber with an activated SCP-075 to 
measure its speed and reflex time, SCP-181 managed to avoid 
SCP-075 a total of 3 times before suppression teams refroze 
SCP-075. 


Having survived not one but two Keter class exposure experiments, 
SCP-181 was a statistical anomaly. It would be his third week and 
full seven days of survival with SCP-082 that prompted Dr.G D 
to investigate. 


ltwas Dr.G_ D 's hypothesis that SCP-181 was generating these 
statistical anomalies without his knowledge. After nearly flipping 50 
heads on a coin, rolling 25 7s on a pair of dice, and pulling all 13 
hearts out of a standard deck of playing cards, Dr.G D_ got 
executive permission to experiment with SCP-_ . After rolling 19 
green circles and succeeding in recreating 4 classical masterpieces 
of varying art forms, SCP-181 rolled SCP- again. As the object 
came to rest on the red triangle, the facility experienced a tremor 
caused by an incident with SCP-216, and SCP- _ fell on a green 
circle. Dr.G D_ then reclassified LVD-87465 as SCP-181, sparing 
him from the routine monthly termination of class D personnel. 


SCP-181 shows signs of affecting the causal probability around him 
by no will of his own. However, tests show that efforts to remove as 
much chance from an event as possible reduce SCP-181's effect on 
the event. 


Addendum 1-A-07X : As of //20 , SCP-181 has been transferred 
and security protocols tightened. It was discovered by Dr. ina 
recent audit that overall death and injury rates for Bio-Research 
Area-12 had increased in the time of SCP-181's confinement by 
nearly percent ( %). Itis theorised that SCP-181's 
anomalous properties affect probability by [DATA EXPUNGED] 
chaos theory states that the potential effects of such interference 
could lead [DATA EXPUNGED]worldwide scale. Further information 
is available only to personnel with clearance levels of 4 and above, 
due to the possibility of further [REDACTED]

SCP-182: "Rider" 


Item #: SCP-182 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-182 is to be kept ina 
small environmentally-sealed structure on an otherwise-uninhabited 
island situated 10km off the coast of Greenland. A team of five (5) 
guards are to be assigned to guard the subject at all times. Guards 
are to be examined for psychological damage once per month; 
guards who show any signs of damage are to be recalled from their 
post and are required to undertake a full course of psychiatric 
therapy prior to returning to duty. No single individual is to spend 
more than six (6) months at a stretch on 182 guard duty, and are 
required to spend a minimum of three (3) months on a different 
assignment before returning. Personnel are entitled to refuse this 
assignment if they have already spent a total of eight (8) months or 
more on the island. SCP-182 has requested to be kept under heavy 
sedation for 20 hours per day. Following Incident 182-7, this 
privilege has been revoked. 


Description: SCP-182 is a Caucasian male, of average build, 
roughly 45 years of age, and has suffered heavy abdominal and 
cranial scarring at an unspecified point in the past (by subject's own 
admission, shortly before he was admitted into the care of the 
Foundation in 19 ). SCP-182 is both deaf and mute, compensating 
for these disabilities with natural abilities. 


SCP-182 has displayed the ability to passively enter the minds of 
other animals, including humans, and to perceive sight and sound 
through their senses, in effect 'riding' as a passenger in their minds. 
This has no consistent effect on personnel, and some guards have 
rotated on and off on a regular basis for the past years without 
detrimental effects. However, prolonged exposure to SCP-182's 
passive 'sensory borrowing’ results in vivid visual and auditory 
hallucinations in 97% of humans and 100% of nonhuman test 


subjects. 


The effects in question vary widely in severity, but continued 
exposure after the onset will inevitably result in mental collapse, with 
said mental breakdown being hastened by proximity to SCP-182. 
SCP-182 has displayed the ability to consciously force hallucinations 
upon his guards when under duress, and as such it is advisable that 
subjects known to agitate SCP-182 be avoided (including mention of 
SCP-076-2, SCP-682, and SCP-182's own past prior to acquisition 
by the Foundation). Termination of affected personnel is 
recommended if they cannot distinguish between the hallucinations 
and reality, as all subjects allowed to reach such a point have 
invariably broken down, with brain death or permanent catatonia 
being the only possible outcomes. SCP-182 cannot control this 
ability with any appreciable degree of skill, and automatically sees 
and hears the perceptions of any living animals within ten (10) 
meters. Subject can ‘focus’ on specific directions outside of that 
range, but cannot 'ride' the senses of beings further away from it 
than thirty (30) meters. 


SCP-182 additionally manifests the ability to project its thoughts into 
the mind of any individual whose senses it 'rides.' This mental 
‘speech’ is the only known source of information about the subject, 
and has been described by guards as akin to being spoken to by a 
small human between their ears. SCP-182 exhibits no memetic or 
telepathic hazard stemming from this 'speech,' though subjects 
report that his 'voice’ is always a component in their hallucinations.
