SCP-007 V1

**Item #:** SCP-007

**Object Class:** Euclid

**Special Containment Procedures:** Due to its incorporeal and poorly understood nature, SCP-007 cannot currently be contained. Only members of Site-09 are permitted to study SCP-007 and its manifestations, and to monitor its activities and movement.

Level 2 clearance only. No security or maintenance staff required. All personnel assigned to Site-09 must currently have no children, nor ever plans to have in future.

**Description:** The physiology of SCP-007 is currently beyond our scientific understanding. If intelligent at all, its purposes are unknown. All evidence of its existence is second-hand, provided by photographs accidentally taken of its effects, or in rare cases, from witnesses in the vicinity.

## Site-09 New Personnel Email

Dear Employee,

The following is a short briefing written to prepare you for the complexities of work in Site-09

We trust that you've read the case studies of a selection of child murders provided to you before your transfer to this department.

Firstly, you must disregard the truth behind the all of the documents you've read. None of these children were murdered by any of the culprits brought to justice, as you have been made to understand. The sole purpose of these documents being provided is to verse new employees in the kinds of cover-ups we provide, and their standard format and detail.
You believed these to be truthful because you were open to the idea of such a thing being possible. From an early age, you will have heard about or read stories in the news regarding similar cases, perhaps even the very ones you've been made to read about in this past week. This is all a ruse set up by our department.

99% of all child murder cases known to the public are a lie (1% of convictions for such are due to freak accidents). An adult human cannot murder or even harm a child beyond a certain degree, in the same way a human being cannot fly unassisted. Have faith in us when reading this, we at Site-09 are the sole reason you believe the former possible. It is a biological impossibility, stemming from a species-wide survival instinct hardwired into the human brain. This isn't to say that children are invincible or immune to harm. They die and are maimed as frequently as adults in accidents and from disease. Only murderous intent and action regarding said intent is impossible.

We spread this false information because it was made clear early in the aftermath of the first appearance of SCP-007 that the general public deals far better with the idea of murder than unexplained, supernatural disappearances, morbid as our myth is.

In our experience, new employees are liable to consider this document as a test of some kind, given by the Foundation as preparation for assignment to the containment of a different SCP object or entity. Disregard such thoughts immediately, you'll come to realize very quickly the extent of our work.

The false culprits of court cases made known to the public are always chosen based on strict criteria regarding their mental health and lifestyle. Often they will have been likely to pose a threat to adults or society as a whole had they remained un-detained.

To summarize in short, our ruse comprises the following main components:

* That children are both murdered and heavily abused by adults. The latter to make the former more plausible;
* That remains are often found as proof of these murders. This is never true;
* That high-profile court cases often follow;
* That certain mental health disorders can cause an altered mental state sufficient to lead someone to kill or maim a child;
* That children take part in wars in third world countries.

And most importantly; That child murder has happened for at least the length of written history. This is a lie implemented by Site-09 over a long period of time through school systems and false scientific studies, documentaries and news stories regarding historical evidence.

In truth, SCP-007 is the sole source of of child disappearances. Although rare, it is also responsible for the disappearance of adults, though these adults are always in close proximity to a child who disappears simultaneously. What happens to those taken is unknown, and it happens sufficiently rapidly that we have very few accounts to work with. No victim taken has been seen again, nor have remains been found thus far.

To add to the standard report of SCP-007 outwith this document, the founders of Site-09 had for a time a first-hand account of the physical nature of these disappearances. While still a civilian, Agent George Turnquist (1928-1993) was present when █████ ███████ and his son ███████ ███████ were taken by SCP-007 on Oct. 17th 1954.

The following is a transcript exerpt from an interview conducted with George Turnquist by Agent ██████, working undercover as a detective within ████████ Police Department , which proved invaluable given his refusal in later years to discuss the subject in any great detail:-

```
TURNQUIST: I couldn't look at it properly.

```

```
ELDRIDGE: You mean your vision was blurred or obscured?

```

```
TURNQUIST: No... more like it was beyond the capability of my eyes.

```

```
ELDRIDGE: Can you describe the disappearance? Did they fade out slowly, anything like that? Any notable visual effects?

```

```
TURNQUIST: No. It was like... kinda like an invisible sheet was thrown over them, or like paint or something. It happened really quick, but it wasn't instant.

```

```
ELDRIDGE: But you told us earlier that you heard his voice after a short while? █████ ███████ I mean, his voice?

```

```
TURNQUIST: Yeah, that's right. Maybe like 5 minutes later I heard his voice very faintly from high above.

```

```
ELDRIDGE: Was the voice clear to you? Did he sound distressed?

```

```
TURNQUIST: Yeah, real quiet but it was clear. I guess 'cause the street was so quiet. He didn't sound distressed no, it was more like a statement of fact than a plea. Like he knew I or anyone else couldn't get him back.

```

```
ELDRIDGE: And what could you make out? Did he talk for an extended period?

```

```
TURNQUIST: No. Just those four words. Help. They've got me.
