SCP-1020: An Important Letter 


Item #: SCP-1020 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: All components of SCP-1020 
are to be kept in a storage locker at Sector . The interior of the 
locker should be monitored by remote video feed at all times. A 
United States Postmaster General-approved mailbox is to be 
maintained along an active United States Postal Service pick-up and 
delivery route at the closest point possible to Sector , currently 
[DATA EXPUNGED]. This mailbox is to be emptied following every 
active state of SCP-1020, and the resulting letter read and 
destroyed unless any details in the letter bear further investigation. 


Description: SCP-1020 consists of the following items: A stack of 
11 newspapers, a pair of scissors, a jar of rubber cement-style 
adhesive, a sheaf of 30 sheets of blank white paper, a box of 30 
plain letter-sized envelopes, a black ballpoint pen, and a book of 20 
stamps. (See Addendum SCP-1020-01) 


The individual components of SCP-1020 cannot be moved more 
than 4.5 meters away from each other, nor can any barriers be put 
in place that would prevent the items' interaction. Any attempt to do 
so meets an unidentified matching force opposing the action. 


Once every 7 to 22 days, SCP-1020 enters an active state. The 
newspapers are opened and scattered, and the scissors apparently 
levitate and cut out letters and words from the newspapers. The 
rubber cement is uncapped, and adhesive is applied to the cut-out 
segments, which are affixed to one or more sheets of paper. The 
pen scrawls an address on an envelope in shaky letters. About 1 
minute later, all pages of the note are folded and inserted into the 
envelope. The envelope seals, and a stamp is affixed to it. The 
envelope then vanishes, and reappears in the nearest US 
Postmaster General-approved mailbox on an active mail pickup 


route. 


All letters follow the format of a stereotypical ransom note: the 
supposed writer of the letter claims “I” or “we” have possession of 
one or more individuals important to the addressee, and makes 
demands that are to be met at a certain place and time in exchange 
for the victim's safe return. Letters occasionally contain misspellings. 


Removing the envelope from the mailbox in which it appears, 
otherwise preventing its delivery to the addressee, reading the 
envelope, opening the envelope and reading the letter inside all 
appear to produce no ill effects. 


If the letter is read by the addressee, the stated victim(s) will 
immediately vanish, regardless of the victim's location or activity at 
the time. 


Meeting the demands of a letter produced by SCP-1020 invariably 
results in the return of the victim within 24 hours to their place of 
disappearance or another nearby safe location, unharmed and with 
no memory of the time they were gone. 


Recipients are chosen seemingly at random. Letters rarely make 
demands involving money, and in those cases, the money carries 
personal value to the recipient or victim. Intercepted letters’ 
demands have included: 


¢ Destruction of family's only vehicle by fire in a local parking lot 
for return of son. 

¢ Tattooing of a cryptic phrase on the palm of recipient's left 

hand at a specific tattoo parlor for return of husband 

Cash withdrawal of daughter's entire college fund, followed by 

random distribution of said cash to strangers at Central Park 

in New York City for return of said daughter 

Injection of HIV-infected blood into recipient's own veins in 

exchange for wife (basic Internet search of intended 

recipient's name indicates he holds an MD and works at 

Hospital in , .) 


No victims have ever been recovered in cases where the demands 
were not met. 


Addendum 1020-01: Examination of components 


A close examination of components of SCP-1020 reveals several 
anomalous features. All destroyed or used components are replaced 
apparently via teleportation from the nearest available source within 
1 minute. There appear to be no range limits on this phenomenon, 
and research involving destruction of the scissors in particular has 
been discontinued due to general inconvenience for all Sector staff. 
Additional anomalous properties follow. 


Newspapers: Titles and all other text appear to be gibberish, with 
seemingly random words strung together and interspersed with 
spaces and punctuation. This attribute applies even to new 
newspapers that have replaced destroyed ones in the collection via 
teleportation. Replacement newspapers are still recognizable by 
photographic content, font styles and layout. SCP-1020 shows no 
preference for any particular publication, simply taking the 
necessary number of mostly complete newspapers from as nearby 
as possible to maintain a collection of 11 total. 


Rubber cement: No amount of force yet applied by researchers can 
open or break the jar. Forces tested are upto N. The adhesive 
itself comes from an unknown source, as no rubber cement is 
commonly used on-site. 


Book of stamps: Individual stamps appear to be teleported directly 
into the book. SCP-1020 will only take modern stamps in this way. 
The total number of stamps in the book has never dropped below 
12. 


Incident 1020-01: On //20 , at approximately 12:30 p.m. local 
time, a driver struck and effectively destroyed the mailbox located on 

Road, placed there for collection of SCP-1020's letters. A 
subsequent interview revealed the driver was intoxicated, and there 
is no indication of any influence by SCP-1020 or any other outside 
agent. However, timestamp data on footage of SCP-1020 reveals 
that within 4 seconds, SCP-1020 became extremely active, drafting 
and teleporting a -page letter in less than 2 minutes. 


Prior research had revealed the location of the next-nearest mailbox, 
and an MTF was dispatched. Mail pickup had already occurred, and 


the local post office had to be shut down for approximately an hour 
until the target letter was recovered. 


An image of the letter's first page and envelope front are available 
for viewing below.

Blacked-out portions and subsequent pages give 
extremely detailed instructions on how to infiltrate Sector 
, including staffing details, passcodes, and instructions 

on how to breach containment on several Euclid-level 
SCP items, with the end goal of covertly "liberating" and 
relocating all components of SCP-1020 to a condemned 
housein — , 


Note: This was a blatant escape attempt, indicating 
sapience. Yes, yes, it was a very stupid escape attempt. 
But as illogical as this will sound, we're apparently 
dealing with something that is simultaneously stupid and 
omniscient - for an unknown value of omniscience. Given 
just how much inadvertent damage could be caused by 
another "stupid" escape attempt coupled with some bad 
luck, and averted for the price of placing several backup 
mailboxes, I'm submitting a request for a very slight 
budget increase. -Dr.

SCP-1021: Exit 


Item #: SCP-1021 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: No special containment 
procedures needed at this time. All instances of SCP-1021 are 
currently in use in various sites and facilities. For complete list, see 
addendum. 


Description: SCP-1021 is a set of 7 EXIT signs designed in Art 
Moderne dating back to the 1940's. The anomalous effect of 
SCP-1021 will only manifest if it is placed directly over a door made 
of solid wood; type and design may vary, but the door must be solid 
with no trappings (ex. windows). Any person opening a door with 
SCP-1021 over it will find themselves exiting out of a corresponding 
exit of the Cinemain —_, MI. Each sign of SCP-1021 belongs 
to a specific door in the cinema, with the main entrance being the 
only door without a connection. 


SCP-1021 was discovered when a self-described architecture buff 
visited the Cinema before its demolition in order to study its 
design, and found a souvenir. According to the witness, the only 
thing left was a box of exit signs by the main entrance labeled 
"dump". Enamored by their old-style design, he claimed to liberate 
one for his own use at home, adorning his bathroom door as a joke. 
Upon entering his bathroom, he found himself behind the 

Cinema exiting from the delivery entrance. The subsequent internet 
postings were found by Foundation computer search algorithms, 
and an agent was dispatched to investigate. Upon learning the story 
and viewing its anomalous properties himself, the agent called for 
backup to the cinema; it was then purchased by the Foundation 
through the Scenic Cultural Places Association, an organization 
dedicated to buying and restoring old and unusual buildings. After 
administering a Class-B amnestic to the witness, all the exit signs 
were taken and, through study, were found to correspond to a door 


within the Cinema. The cinema itself has no history of unusual 
occurrences, though a small security detail are to remain for 1 
month and secure the building. 


Due to its Safe-class nature and usefulness, all instances of 
SCP-1021 have been set up in various Foundation sites to act as an 
emergency exit, and the Cinema has been renovated to act as 
an evacuation command area where Foundation staff may seek 
refuge. The evacuation points in all sites must be kept in a clear 
area guarded by level 3 security staff, in order to prevent its misuse 
as a method of smuggling SCPs out of their home sites.

SCP-1022: Suspiciously Clean Coat 


Item #: SCP-1022 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1022 may be contained 
on a clothes rack within a standard secure item locker. Warning 
labels are to be affixed to prevent confusion with similar attire in use 
by Foundation personnel. Completion of a comprehensive 
psychiatric evaluation and the mandatory SCP-1022 orientation 
course is required for staff who wish to utilise SCP-1022. After the 
events of Incident 1022-1, use of SCP-1022 is restricted to D-class 
barring approval by Level 4 personnel. 


Description: SCP-1022 is a white cotton-polyester laboratory coat 
in Size M. It has no identifying markings save for a printed label on 
the inside collar reading 'Dr. E_', its original owner. All surfaces of 
SCP-1022 are resistant to microbial colonisation; introduced 
microorganisms fail to reproduce and subsequently die. It thus 
remains sterile save in the immediate period after contact with a 
colonised surface.’ The physical properties of SCP-1022 are 
otherwise unremarkable. 


When a subject wears SCP-1022, they are able to perceive 
prokaryotic organisms (primarily bacteria, but archaea may also be 
visualised by SCP-1022) in the environment at greatly increased 
magnification, which persists indefinitely even after SCP-1022's 
removal. This visual effect is comparable to that of a light 
microscope on high-power settings (1000x), with the result that most 
organisms visible appear 1-5mm in length or diameter. The effect is 
not cumulative with magnification apparatus; use of light microscopy 
will not enlarge organisms, although the subject is able to use more 
powerful magnification techniques, such as electron microscopy, as 
normal. Organisms on the surface of the eye are not visible, but 
organisms on spectacles or contact lenses are, leading to obscured 
vision in users of these and the inconvenience of constant 


sterilisation for normal vision. 


Organisms observed by the subject are accurate magnifications, 
mobile and may be observed to grow, reproduce and bioluminesce 
where possible. Physical properties of the organisms themselves 
are unaffected. With appropriate microbiology training, subjects 
have proved to be capable of distinguishing and classifying 
organisms accurately. Only prokaryotic cells are visible; eukaryotic 
cells and nonliving objects are not magnified. Experimentation with 
viruses is underway pending preparation of a suitable subject and 
testing environment (it is presumed that only the largest viruses 
>400 nm would be visible, and the subject would require above- 
normal visual acuity). 


All non-sterile surfaces, including living beings, will appear to the 
subject as though coated in organisms with density proportional to 
the level of contamination of the surface. On sufficiently colonised 
surfaces (>10,000 organisms/cm2) a 3-dimensional layer of 
organisms up to 10 cm in height has been observed. This is strictly a 
visual effect and may be passed through without result, apart from 
the normal possibility of microbiological contamination when in 
contact with the surface.
