ITEM #: SCP-7959
OBJECT CLASS: Ticonderoga
SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: SCP-7959 is not containable by any known means. Thankfully, the nature of the anomaly ensures some level of self-containment. Should this no longer be the case, containment efforts are to be reassessed. Investigation of the anomaly can then recommence, to whatever degree this is possible.
DESCRIPTION: SCP-7959 refers to TL-7959, a Foundation timeline discovered during routine indexing of the local canonical bundle that displays atypical properties when compared to adjacent timelines, an anomalously improbable behavior.
TL-7959 is inaccessible through all possible efforts; Any attempt to assess the properties of this timeline invariably fail, through a variety of factors such as data corruption, equipment failure, cerebral hemorrhage, SCP-7959-A, etcetera. If there exists some means of understanding this timeline and its eligibility for existence within the Database, it has yet to be discovered.
SCP-7959-A is a universally received result during observatory efforts of TL-7959, which manifests as a singular message of uniform nature, despite medium or language.
The contents of SCP-7959-A have been recorded below:

SCP-7959-A TRANSCRIPT LOG
FOREWARD: Record of message from measurement of TL-7959, delivered by one party, labeled POI-7959.

<BEGIN TRANSCRIPT>
POI-7959: Hello.
POI-7959: Thank you for your interest in our dimension.
POI-7959: Regrettably, I must inform you that the Prime Timeline is closed.1 Please return during normal hours, where we will be more than happy to assist you. If you require immediate assistance, please leave a message after the tone, and someone will be with you shortly.
POI-7959: We appreciate your understanding during this time. Have a wonderful iteration.
A loud beep.
AUTOMATED SYSTEM: This mailbox is full and cannot receive more messages. I'm sorry. Goodbye.
<END TRANSCRIPT>

Footnotes
1. It should be noted that no known initial or "prime" timeline exists, though this false claim is common among narratives in many regions of memoryspace.

Item #: SCP-7962
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7962 is clipped closed and stored in a standard anomalous item locker at Site-37.
Description: SCP-7962 is a bag of 297 296 sapient, Pepperidge Farm brand Goldfish crackers.
These instances are denoted SCP-7962-A.
SCP-7962-A instances are capable of vocalization and locomotion; while it is unknown how they produce sound without sufficient vocal cords, locomotion is sustained through a swimming-like motion that allows them to float through the air at approximately 0.2 m/s. All instances share a sole desire to "ascend" which they collectively believe will be accomplished through submerging themselves in a natural source of water.1
Addendum-1: Incident 7962-1
On August 8th, 2017, Researcher Kinesman opened SCP-7962 believing it to be a traditional bag of Goldfish, leading to the subsequent containment breach of approximately 17 SCP-7962-A instances. All but 4 were successfully recontained immediately, the others managing to escape into the vents of Site-37 which allowed their eventual escape from the site.
The instances were discovered by Kinesman approximately six minutes later at a local pond, the four instances slowly making their way to its edge. While he managed to successfully capture three of them within his hands, the fourth managed to submerge itself in the water.

SCP-7962-A: Hark brethren! Watch as I douse myself in the tears of the sky and bathe in the glory of the sea! It is the dawn of a new age, of a new beginning, for I shall ascend and carry forth a flood so that you may all share in the revelry, in the bliss! For I am free!
<It submerges itself in the pond.>
SCP-7962-A: I can feel it, my brothers. The revelation. The truth. It washes over me and carries away my sins, birthing me anew in its eternal beauty. I am one with the water and it is one with me. There is no greater joy!

The three contained instances continued to struggle within Kinesman's hand until the submerged instance suddenly began vocalizing in pain, growing in volume until it suddenly went silent five minutes later, having completely dissolved within the water. The remaining instances then went docile, and all attempts by SCP-7962-A instances to escape SCP-7962 have since ceased.

Footnotes
1. Any other source of water (tap, bottled, processed) is considered "tainted" and "devilish."

Item #: SCP-7967
Object Class: Thaumiel Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7967 is to be indefinitely maintained and used by the Foundation to produce Akiva Radiation for use in various religious based projects.
SCP-7967 is no longer to be maintained and to be stored in Containment Sector-54, located within Reliquary Area-27. In light of the data implied by the object's behavior, this file is restricted to Clearance 5/DoTT personnel.
Description: SCP-7967 is a device developed by the Department of Tactical Theology in 2003. It was designed to harvest the abnormally high amount of Akiva Radiation that is produced when a human being dies.
SCP-7967 functions through the theory that before entering an afterlife, a being tends to worship at greatly increased levels, a result of attempting to enter a positive afterlife and contemplating one's mortality.
This energy tends to dissipate shortly after the subject's death. SCP-7967 functions by tracking these events and using Wozny-Hellman Worship Sinks to absorb it successfully.

Addendum

SCP-7967 has been deemed to be nonfunctional and has gathered no Akiva Radiation in the two months since its activation. This is believed to be a result of the fact that although during this period approximately 11,000,000 humans have become corpses, none of them have died.

Item #: SCP-7971
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7971 instances are to be monitored through a dedicated financial tracking system maintained by Foundation accountants. Any individual identified as being overdue on taxes and at risk of SCP-7971 manifestation must be immediately located and the outstanding tax debt paid in full. All Foundation personnel are required to comply with tax regulations to avoid attracting SCP-7971 instances.
Description: SCP-7971 collectively refers to a group of anomalous entities resembling agents of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in appearance and behavior. Physical appearance varies, although all instances appear to be wearing a black suit and trousers1. Instances of SCP-7971 manifest when an individual is significantly overdue on their taxes. These entities exhibit extreme hostility towards the targeted individual, pursuing them relentlessly until the outstanding tax debt is paid.
SCP-7971 instances possess reality-bending capabilities that allow them to bypass conventional means of containment. They can materialize in any location, regardless of security measures in place. Their primary objective is to seize and drain the bank accounts of the delinquent individual through anomalous means, leading to financial ruin and often resulting in the death of the individual.
The manifestation of SCP-7971 is accompanied by auditory hallucinations resembling tax-related warnings and notices. Victims commonly report hearing phrases such as "Tax evasion is a serious crime" and "IRS agents are on their way."
Research is ongoing to develop countermeasures against SCP-7971 manifestations, including exploring the feasibility of utilizing anomalous and automated accounting practices to satisfy their criteria without causing harm to the affected individuals.
Addendum 7971-01: Incident Log
SCP-7971 instances were first encountered following an incident involving Mr. ███████, a tax delinquent who failed to pay his outstanding taxes for several years. SCP-7971 manifested at Mr. ███████'s residence, displaying a relentless pursuit. Despite the Foundation's efforts to intervene, conventional weaponry proved ineffective against SCP-7971.
Upon payment of the overdue taxes by Foundation personnel, SCP-7971 instances dematerialized. However, subsequent investigation revealed that Mr. ███████ suffered severe psychological trauma and financial depletion.
Addendum 7971-02: Unexplained Phenomena
SCP-7971 instances have been observed employing unconventional methods to locate tax evaders, including the ability to decipher encrypted financial information and anticipate attempts to conceal assets. Investigations are ongoing to understand the full extent of SCP-7971's capabilities.

SCP-7979 upon discovery.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7979 is contained in an anomalous item locker at least five meters away from all wall sockets.
Description: SCP-7979 is a road sign with the phrase "NO OUTLET" printed on it. An "s" and an emoticon depicting an angry face have been graffitied on SCP-7979 in permanent marker.
When SCP-7979 is brought within close proximity to a wall socket, the socket's openings will seal themselves. This also severs plugged cords, rendering them nonfunctional.
Addendum 7979.1: Junior researcher Thomas Leoprine discovered the words "NO ROADSIGNS" written onto the wall plate of a socket just outside of SCP-7979's area of effect. Security footage indicates that the message manifested over the course of four hours overnight. It has since been designated SCP-7979-1.
Addendum 7979.2: A test was performed, in which the two objects were brought together. As SCP-7979 came within range of SCP-7979-1, Leoprine began to feel a force similar to magnetic repulsion pushing against himself and the sign and was thus prevented from any further forward movement. Even when aided by two security guards, the three were unable to push SCP-7979 into the chamber. Further progress was made when SCP-7979 was placed in the arms of a bulldozer.
As the two anomalies approached each other, a series of anomalous effects occurred. It is currently unclear what these effects are, as once the objects came within range of each other, the security cameras in the area malfunctioned along with the driver of the bulldozer passing out from an "intense pressure in [his] skull." A minor increase in electricity usage was noted during post-event analysis.
After the event, both objects were rediscovered sustaining minor damage. The emoticon on SCP-7979 changed, distorting into a pair of crossed-out eyes and an agape mouth while the right socket of SCP-7979-1 has become rusted and warped. Both SCP-7979 and SCP-7979-1 no longer produce anomalous effects. Reclassification to Neutralized pending.

Item Description: A hollow iron meteorite with a nearly perfectly spherical inner core. Two cylinders extend from core to the surface. Exposing one cylinder to an electrical current results in the other one generating a low-strength electric current with a rapidly fluctuating voltage seemingly entirely unrelated to the initial current.
Date of Recovery: 03/06/1923
Location of Recovery: Recovered from a field in ███████, Denmark shortly after impact.
Current Status: Kept in a standard containment locker at Site-62.

Research Request
By Junior Researcher Dr. Guillaume, Level 2

Request: To transfer Anomalous Item R-26673 to Site-21.
Reason: The anomalous behavior exhibited by Anomalous Item R-26673 seem to indicate the presence of certain properties that may be of use to the Foundation, specifically for the purpose of storing and processing data. I would like to conduct a more comprehensive analysis of the object that goes beyond standard Anomalous Item testing protocol.

APPROVED - Site-62 Site Director, Claas van der Beek
Request approved. You can expect the item to arrive on 23/05/1984, barring any unexpected delays.

Update 18/06/1984: Anomalous Item R-26673 has been reclassified as SCP-7982.
