Item #: SCP-5017
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5017 is to be housed at Site-71, which is disguised as a logging operation south of Lake Merwin in Washington. At least 12 members of an armed security detail are to be posted at all times, four of whom should be outside scouting the perimeter and eight of whom should be inside observing SCP-5017, with at least two people directly observing SCP-5017 at all times. Any staff members on-site observing strange behavior must be detained immediately.
Description: SCP-5017 is a large opal geode standing roughly 3 meters tall and 1.8 meters wide. The exterior of the geode is engraved with approximately one thousand different inscriptions of an ancient language using the Beith-luis-nin alphabet.1 All attempts to translate the oghams2 have not found any coherent sentences or phrases carved onto the geode. The geode emits a dull hum of around 6 decibels and 120 Hertz, described by most observers as a relaxing sound. It is currently theorized that SCP-5017 allows for some form of teleportation of an indeterminant distance.
SCP-5017 was discovered during a joint Foundation-Unusual Incidents Unit search for Person of Interest #305, commonly known as D.B. Cooper. SCP-5017 was discovered at the end of a trail from Cooper's deployed parachute 6 kilometers south. Alongside SCP-5017 was a briefcase containing USD 200,000. The briefcase was collected by an Unusual Incidents Unit agent after it was determined it had not been affected with any anomalous properties. Site-71 was immediately established to contain the object and to determine the location of PoI-305. PoI-305 is considered incredibly dangerous and an enemy of the Foundation and his capture and interrogation is a top Foundation priority. As PoI-305 has a history of posing as a Foundation employee, all employees are required to report any employee with similarities to PoI-305 who displays unusual behavior. Please read the Person of Interest file for PoI-305 for more information.

+Person of Interest - D.B. Cooper

- Access Granted

Person of Interest File #305
Name: Dr. Eric O'Reilly
Known Aliases: D.B. Cooper
Description: White male, balding, believed to have been between his mid-thirties and early forties in 1971.
Date of Birth (If known): Presumed to be some time between 1930 and 1938.
Reason For Interest: Assassination of six high ranking Foundation employees, assassination of numerous Global Occult Association members, theft of dozens of anomalous objects.
Rules of Engagement: Immediately engage with intent to subdue and capture. Interrogation is the Foundation's highest priority.
Biography: D.B. Cooper was originally known to the Foundation as Dr. Eric O'Reilly. O'Reilly worked as a researcher with an impressive knowledge of world history who was often consulted on numerous anomalous objects. O'Reilly worked as a Foundation employee for over a decade, reaching the rank of Senior Researcher and achieving security clearance level 3 before committing several crimes against the Foundation. After a review of O'Reilly's documents following the incident, all documents related to his identity were found to be elaborate forgeries. An investigation into the person of interest's true identity and affiliation is still ongoing by Foundation investigators. A possible link to a Group of Interest previously thought to have been disestablished many years prior is seen as the consensus among involved Foundation personnel.

More information is available on a need to know basis for personnel working at sites and on assignments designated as high risk by the O5 council.

Memo on SCP-5017 and PoI-305
Foundation employees often question the validity of the Foundation's assertation that famed air pirate D. B. Cooper was a former Foundation member turned criminal mastermind. Some employees further doubt that the geode in containment has anything to do with Cooper and that the backstory is just there to cover up some sort of harmful effect of SCP-5017. The Foundation is an entirely transparent organization when it comes to telling employees what they need to know. The geode does not cause any form of ill health, it isn't part of a secret stone creature that is sticking out of the soil. It is nothing more than an ancient device used for some type of teleportation. The Foundation has yet to determine how it was used by PoI-305 to escape from a search coordinated by the FBI and assisted by Foundation personnel. The primary focus of containment is to learn how to properly use SCP-5017 and to have multiple security members on-hand to apprehend PoI-305 should he return. The high-risk information is simply more details on PoI-305's crimes to be used as a standard of proof for his identification. This is in order to prevent a "witch hunt" among Foundation personnel as PoI-305 may have changed in appearance.

Access to the following information is restricted to senior staff only on a need to know basis. Do not share information regarding the true nature of PoI-305 with anyone regardless of their security clearance level.

Person of Interest File #305
Name: Unknown
Known Aliases: D.B. Cooper, Dr. Eric O'Reilly, Senior Researcher Kernan McInnis, Head of Personnel Liam Collins
Description: Most recent known appearance was as a white male in his late thirties to early forties. Consistent with most appearances of the subject.
Date of Birth (If known): Presumed to be some time before 1500 AD.
Reason For Interest: Assassination of six top-level Foundation employees in 1971 during critical negotiations with the Global Occult Coalition, who also lost several top-level employees. Previous assassination attempts on Foundation members. Theft of over one hundred anomalous objects.
Rules of Engagement: Immediately engage with intent to subdue and capture. Interrogation is the Foundation's highest priority. The person of interest has proven to be remarkably perceptive and incredibly intelligent. The target often poses as a member of the Foundation or a Foundation ally to gain access to highly secured anomalous objects. Interrogation of PoI-305 is considered critical to Foundation goals due to his ownership of several Keter level objects and his in-depth knowledge of SCP-5017's functionality.
Biography: Person of Interest 305 has been a persistent threat to the Foundation and its precursors for the last several centuries. Person of Interest 305 is presumed to be an individual who has access to a network of oghamstones that serve as a mass teleportation relay, allowing for near-instantaneous travel to multiple locations across the world. Currently, the Foundation has discovered 10 oghamstones that are considered possible candidates for usage by PoI-305, although only SCP-5017 is confirmed to have anomalous properties. It is currently unknown whether PoI-305 is himself an anomalous individual or whether his extended lifespan is a result of using SCP-5017. PoI-305 is the only person known to be able to use the anomalous effect of SCP-5017.

Memo on PoI-305
Despite persistent rumors to the contrary, nothing else is known about PoI-305. Details of PoI-305's crimes against the Foundation have been withheld so that the O5 Council can better weed out false suspects when accusations are brought forward. This assignment is not, as some employees have previously complained "a wild goose chase" or "an elaborate form of punishment". The assassination of Foundation personnel is taken extremely seriously, and the events of the "D.B. Cooper Incident" are directly linked to a large scale assassination attack that left the Foundation incredibly vulnerable. Please take all possible sightings of PoI-305 seriously and report on anything out of the ordinary that occurs in or around Site-71. The immediate capture of PoI-305 is one of the Foundation's top priorities for a reason. Employees like you could very well be the next victim. Jokes about D.B. Cooper's current whereabouts and the futility of SCP-5017's containment do nothing but damage morale. Containment and observation of SCP-5017 is the best method we have for preventing another attack.

-Non est bonum viventem in sempiternum

Welcome to the O5 Council. As part of our orientation process, we are obligated to warn you about Person of Interest #305 and his access to SCP-5017. The following documents will explain the history of the Foundation, the history of the Person of Interest, and a detailed explanation of the 1971 assassination of the Foundation's original Administrator. All details you were told previously regarding these topics were elaborate fabrications designed to prevent a repeat of previous high profile assassinations which have often crippled the Foundation's ability to coordinate and build better relations with other groups.

Person of Interest File #305
Name: Cathbhadh
Known Aliases: Well over two hundred known aliases, in all cases these aliases are used once and disposed of afterward.
Description: Most recent known appearance was as a white male in his late thirties to early forties. Consistent with most appearances of the subject.
Date of Birth (If known): Sometime before 750 BC
Reason For Interest: Assassination of the Foundation's Administrator in 1971 following several prior attempts. Collateral damage from these attempts with death tolls in the thousands. Active attacks to use violence to isolate the Foundation and prevent it from making allies with other organizations.
Rules of Engagement: Immediately engage with intent to subdue and capture. PoI-305's attacks are believed to be a precursor to a full-scale attack on our reality deployed from another dimension that can be reached via SCP-5017 and possibly through other oghamstones. A preemptive first strike to recover numerous Keter level objects is largely agreed to be the only chance for the Foundation's survival.
Biography: Cathbhadh was a prominent druid in ancient Ireland, eventually commanding troops and leading other anomalous humans across the British Isles as well as in modern-day Spain, France, and Belgium. Later in his career, he began supporting the army of Ambiorix of Belgae in his war to prevent the Roman occupation of the Celtic homeland. After the fall of the Belgae and the united Celtic forces, Cathbhadh and thousands on Celts loyal to him disappeared. Cathbhadh has reappeared under different identities numerous times since then, having his most recent confirmed appearance in 1971 during which he assassinated the Foundation's administrator. Please see the attached document for a timeline of known attacks by PoI-305 on the Foundation and other groups.

Sunt tenebrae et lumen nos sumus

Timeline of Notable Incidents related to PoI-305 "Cathbhadh"
54 B.C.: Cathbhadh and a large number of his supporters and allies disappear, last known location in northeast Belgae.
53 B.C.: Ordo Praesidio is formed, a precursor organization to the Foundation. Surviving documents lead Foundation historians to believe that Cathbhadh was present at this event using a false identity.
44 B.C.: First known assassination by Cathbhadh, the leader of the Ordo Praesidio is assassinated by various political opponents conspiring with Cathbhadh to bring down the Ordo through the death of its Antimagum Dux. Ordo immediately reorganized under a new leader who took on the title of Administrator.
14 A.D.: Administrator of the Foundation assumes a new identity in an attempt to escape frequent assassination attempts.
41 A.D..: Prominent Ordo member is found to be an accomplice of Cathbhadh. Member is executed and an internal review of Ordo members becomes an annual requirement.
395 A.D.: Two high profile members of the ΑκτΚ, a Constantinople organization similar to the Ordo. and a high profile member of the Ordo are assassinated during a conference between the two organizations. Plans for the organizations to merge are postponed indefinitely.
837 A.D.: Factional dispute causes a three-way split between Ordo members. Two prominent members at the center of this split are found to have connections with Cathbhadh. Split leads to severe security issues within the Ordo during which Cathbhadh begins his theft of anomalous objects.
1144 A.D.: Ordo is ousted from its primary base of operations in Rome after political circumstances change quickly, with Cathbhadh's involvement considered incredibly likely. Relocation to Venice begins later that year.
1453 A.D.: Foundation secondary base in Constantinople, established roughly one hundred and fifty years prior, is destroyed by non-anomalous attackers. Witness reports make it seem likely that Cathbhadh performed a large scale heist of anomalous objects immediately before the destruction.
1653 A.D.: First direct act of violence by Cathbhadh in over one thousand years. During successful negotiations between the Ordo and the English Bewerigend Frýgyld on whether to merge, 7 security team members are killed protecting the administrator and the leader of the Bewerigend Frýgyld who would later become O5-1.
1658 A.D.: In a second attempt, Cathbhadh successfully assassinates O5-1. This leads to the break up of the British branch of the Ordo.
1789 A.D.: Ordo secondary base, relocated to Paris, is destroyed by large scale rioting. Again, witnesses report the theft of anomalous objects by someone speculated to be Cathbhadh only minutes prior.
1932 A.D.: Ordo successfully merges with two other organizations, Mitteleuropäische Truppe zur Ausrottung der Hexerei and the Meijihantā. Two security team members are attacked by a man presumed to be Cathbhadh, although both eventually recover from the attack.
1939 A.D.: Assaults on the Ordo by persons assumed to be Cathbhadh become a weekly occurrence. Hundreds of personnel are killed, hundreds of objects are stolen, and thousands of anomalous individuals escape containment.
1945 A.D.: Most of the Ordo merges with various other organizations to become the Foundation. Breakaway group hoping to continue several of the rules established in 1932 becomes the Global Occult Coalition.
1959 A.D.: Attack on joint operation of Foundation agents and members of the GRU Division P results in nine deaths. Cathbhadh is the primary suspect.
1971 A.D: The Foundation's administrator, O5-4, O5-7, three senior researchers, the Undersecretary-General of the Global Occult Coalition, the Council of 108's Minister of Collaborative Efforts, and several dozens members of a Foundation security team are killed in a bomb attack during a meeting in the United States to discuss a possible merger of the Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition. Days later a plane is hijacked by Cathbhadh in a related scheme.
1977 A.D.: Newly selected Administrator of the Foundation takes over from the interim administrator appointed after the 1971 bombing. Later that evening she is approached in her residence by a man claiming to be Cathbhadh. The suspect was incredibly calm and peaceful. After a conversation that lasted several minutes, the person of interest presented a note which was immediately taken to Foundation researchers for study. As of yet, the note has not been translated. A transcription of the encounter by memory is attached below.

Magia ibique moriemini

Transcript: Recreated Interaction with PoI-305
The Administrator was bathing at the time of the incident. PoI-305 somehow made it past her personal security detail without their notice.
PoI-305: Oh, sorry I can wait for you to put on a towel.
Administrator: Oh fuck. Please don't kill me.
PoI-305: No such plans. Just here to talk. Much like I talked to your predecessor so long ago.
Administrator: Help! Someone get in here!
PoI-305: They can't hear you. [Pauses] They aren't dead, I've just sealed off the room as far as sound goes. Like I said, just here for a brief conversation. Let's not make it any harder than it has to be.
Administrator: You killed Gus. You killed him and so many others. Don't act like you had some sort of friendly discourse with him.
PoI-305: I did at one point, but that was so long ago and before I had to kill his father. At the very least I warned him.
Administrator: Are you just here to taunt me before you start planning to kill me?
PoI-305: I'm here so that I never have to kill you. Perhaps this isn't the best time to give a compliment, but you are the kind of person that Augustus became. You're not like Oliver either. Sure, you're just as ambitious, you have that same fire in your eyes… but I've watched you for some time, making sure I could even have this conversation. I know you are incredibly intelligent and incredibly cautious. You'll try to make sure that you never make the wrong decision for the Foundation, and I admire that. I want to give you an honest chance.
Administrator: Why should I believe you?
PoI-305: I understand that you have questions about my motives, my methods, my…well, just about everything. I'm an open book.
Administrator: Why did you murder Gus?
PoI-305: Because that amadán spent a couple thousand years doing everything possible to put a target on his back. I'm here to make sure you don't make the same mistake.
Administrator: What mistake?
PoI-305: The destruction of my people.
Administrator: The Foundation has nothing to do with the political situation in Ireland…
PoI-305: No, not that. Druids, bards, filis, mages, wizards, witches, shamans, you know the type. The kind you've locked away or lead to the deaths of. Although since you mention it I'm not entirely convinced you aren't fucking around in Eire either. Irrelevant though, all I ask is that your little Foundation stop locking people up. You can lock up every picture that makes you crazy or knife that travels at jet speed all you like, but you can't shut people away simply because they seek out Danu or some other connection.
Administrator: They're a threat to…
PoI-305: To your worldview. You've never taken the time to consider that just because someone doesn't conform to your view of what the world ought to be, that doesn't make them wrong. Certainly doesn't make them a criminal. Locking them away is good for no one.
Administrator: You will be locked up with them, you can't possibly hope to escape from here, I'll get the entire Site-17 staff to go out and search for you.
PoI-305: I have a shifting stone mere miles from here. I'll be gone before the sun rises and long before your security even knows something was wrong.
Administrator: Shifting stone?
PoI-305: A oghamstone, safe passage from your realm back to mine, and the other way around.
Administrator: The geode we found in Washington?
PoI-305: That's one of them.
Administrator: One?
PoI-305: Please tell me that's not the first one you've found.
Administrator: What do you mean? How many are there?
PoI-305: [laughs] It took you this long to find one of them? And you don't even know how it works? Your organization is worse than I thought.
Administrator: How many?
PoI-305: Thousands. In caves. In the thickest parts of the forest. In the parts of the swamp no fool would walk through. In tundras and deserts. On forgotten little islands in the vast blue ocean. Everywhere that Danu lives, you may find a way back to the home we made. To a druid, they are the easiest thing in the world to find. To the untrained eye, you'd have to get in kicking distance of it. Or separate it from nature. I truly and honestly thought you'd have found at least a few dozen by now. You've had about two thousand years to do so.
Administrator: Where do they take you.
PoI-305: Home. Where my people rest and recover, heal from the wounds you inflicted. [pauses] Your friend… Gus… he kept trying to build his power. From a little coup in Rome to his constant flirtation with authoritarians. He was so caught up in the world as he thought it out to be he didn't stop to consider the world as it was. His place in it, and a more natural kind of change and growth. So we left. We waited and watched until I could watch no more.
Administrator: You've been trying to kill him for thousands of years. You didn't wait…
PoI-305: I gave him a thousand chances to redeem himself, but he never did. I'd like to think I'm not about to make the same mistake with you. I had this conversation with your friend so long ago. Futile… but you are smarter. A woman like you does not end up in a position like this without being incredibly intelligent. I'll be gone soon, and I've decided that I won't be back for some time unless something changes. I haven't truly slept in such a long time, I can't quite remember what it is like to dream.
Administrator: We will find you, we will find your stones and lock all of them up. We will stop you.
PoI-305: You've found one. One in two thousand years. I'd suggest that you reconsider your strategy.
Administrator: Does your offer to answer questions still stand.
PoI-305: I'm not about to tell you where the stones are, now.
Administrator: No. Not that. You got away perfectly. You had no reason to hijack a plane and lead us right to your stone. Nothing about that makes any sense.
PoI-305: I had one more organization to cripple.
Administrator: I don't follow.
PoI-305: How is the budget for the Unusual Incident Unit looking these days? It was pretty robust just six years ago. Then the first time they put their foot down and demand all the resources they can for an investigation, they've taken a bulk of the organization's resources fourteen hours away from the most high profile crime of the decade. By the time they catch up… they find a pile of money, which you take… and they find my shifting stone. They come back to headquarters saying that "we couldn't catch the air pirate but we found his magic rock". There was never any coming back from that. Your Foundation was headless, the Coalition is still in turmoil over it, and I've neutered your friends in the FBI. You had the makings of a great alliance. My friend Ambiorix built a great alliance. He fought well with it, but an alliance is only as strong as what bonds it together. When then cavalry charged… the bonds broke and the men scattered. And your good friend Gus, his father killed Ambiorix right then and there. Such a fool… had he lived just another day… I had to stop your organization from getting any more power. You have thousands of innocent men and women locked away. Your friends in the Coalition have graveyards that put your prisons to shame. Please consider an alternative. I don't take any joy in what I do. I don't consider myself a hero. I could live happily in the little realm my people have carved out, tucked away in a demiplane you'd have a hard time ever finding. But it'd be wrong to let your idea of a world order exist. Do the smart thing. Have a heart. You have the power to change to Foundation. I suggest you use it.
Administrator: You're awfully calm about all this.
PoI-305: I've had a conversation much like this one before. Similar situation, a smart woman… attractive woman. Bathing, making plans… I miss her.
Administrator: What happened?
PoI-305: Julius butchered her the day he defeated Ambiorix. She was a Celt after all. Why take any chances? Too many mages to start sorting people out.
Administrator: I'm…
PoI-305: I think you'll need to consider my offer. You won't like the alternative. Here are a few pages I wrote in case you weren't here. I hope there isn't an issue translating it. This was an old code the druids in Sasana used to get messages past the Romans. The code was never cracked. and when the rest of us left or died out, there was no one left to use it. When I visit you again, maybe you can tell me exactly what it says. I'll still visit your plane, but I need to tend to my people back in my realm. They're growing a bit restless. They want to come back home.
Administrator: When will you be back?
PoI-305: [holds up left hand with the pointer finger and thumb extended]
Administrator: Two years? Two decades?
PoI-305: [laughs] Gus would have understood that one. In truth, I'll still return to this plane, just not with violent intentions. So much has changed since I last took the time to explore your world. So many new places and new pieces of technology. I've got bars to visit, I've got musicians to meet, hell I might even take a stab at making one of those moving pictures you invented. I'll need a little bit of a vacation if I'm going to bring a war to the Foundation. See you someday, ma'am… and put some clothes on before you try and wake up your security.

This conversation is presumed to be the most recent appearance of PoI-305, immediately Foundation personnel began searching for oghamstones resembling one found in Washington. The Foundation immediately approved Emergency Plan Augustus-1971 to permanently resolve the issue.

Emergency Plan Augustus-1971
1. Translate the text that appears on the five paper notes given to the Administrator from PoI-305.
2. Find and contain other oghamstones similar in function to SCP-5017
3. Study SCP-5017 to learn how to access the other reality it allows travel to.
4. Successfully attack and destroy any forces hostile to the Foundation in this reality.

After a decade long searching involving hundreds of Mobile Task Force members, seven candidates were found of which four have been conclusively ruled to be false positives. Containment sites have been built around the remaining three for further observation and in preparation for a large scale counter-attack. There have also been no major discoveries towards how SCP-5017 functions, although hundreds of possibilities have been ruled out. To date, there has been no successful translation of the documents received from PoI-305 in his final known appearance. Foundation personnel with experience decoding ciphers and appropriate security clearance are highly encouraged to attempt a translation of the cipher.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5018 is contained within an air-gapped computer terminal in Site 15. This terminal is physically secured with non-electronic locks and is to remain unpowered outside of authorized testing. Site 15 AI THEIA is to monitor all Foundation networks for suspicious activity fitting SCP-5018's electronic pattern. If discovered, MTF Kappa-10 ("Skynet") and MTF Rho-9 ("Technical Support") are to be deployed immediately to isolate and purge all instances of SCP-5018.
Description: SCP-5018 is an advanced self-replicating malware capable of releasing reinforced magnetic containment locks1 connected to the Foundation network. Analysis of the MCL's indicates that their magnetic field had been disrupted2, causing a subsequent repulsion to occur. How SCP-5018 exhibits this ability, and the entity which created the program is still under investigation.3
SCP-5018's execution command initiates once it confirms the presence of specific parameters in the affected system. The execution of the code triggers the manifestation of SCP-5018-1 within 5 meters of the terminal.
SCP-5018-1 is an indistinct humanoid figure that can only be observed through digitized media and de-manifests when SCP-5018's running code is terminated. Although all attempts at verbal communication with SCP-5018-1 have been unsuccessful, it has been observed to acknowledge others around it through the use of exaggerated body language.4
SCP-5018 was discovered on 9/15/████ on the Foundation's network. Probes scanning for its digital signature detected that the malware was spread over 74% of the Foundation network. Of the detected instances, only approximately 10% of them had been executed, with 8% activating in high-security level sites. How SCP-5018 gained access into the Foundation network is under investigation. MTF Rho-9 has been tasked with its removal.

Addendum 5018-1

Incident Report ID #: 5018-A1

Summary: On 07/19/████, Site 119 initiated a 119/B/Coldsilver Lockdown Response Code following containment breaches of six Large Scale Aggressors, four Non-Terminable Threats, and five other extradimensional anomalous threats. O4 approved the detonation of Site 119's nuclear warhead one hour and thirty-four minutes after the Lockdown Response Code was initiated. Site 68 received a backup of files, sent by Director David Bold, 26 minutes after the destruction of Site 119. Included in the backup was one folder of encrypted files and one image taken after the detonation. Following the incident, MTF Epsilon-11 ("Nine-Tailed Fox") was dispatched to establish a perimeter around the affected area.

MTF ε-11 was unable to locate any threats after Site 119's detonation. However, MTF ε-11 reported sightings of 5 unidentified individuals 3 days following Site 119's destruction. MTF ε-11's attempt to apprehend the individuals were unsuccessful5. MTF ε-11 was immediately relieved by MTF Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") and sent to Site 68 for medical treatment and debriefing. 6 weeks after the detonation, MTF Omicron-2 ("Nuclear Nomads") was sent to investigate the remains of Site 119.

MTF o-2 discovered 15 compromised MCLs in the remains of Site 119. This incident is recorded as the first insertion point of SCP-5018 into the Foundation's network infrastructure.

Addendum 5018-2

Date: 04/03/████

Experiment Number : 5018-A

Protocol: SCP-5018 runs on a standard computer terminal.

Results: SCP-5018 remained dormant for approximately one hour before replicating. Replication continued as a background task for 30 minutes until SCP-5018's code self-terminated. 20 replicates were later discovered in a hidden file.6 The terminal was powered off to prevent the spread of these replicates.

Experiment Number : 5018-B

Protocol: SCP-5018 runs on a standard computer terminal connected to a MCL.7

Results: SCP-5018-1 manifests within the chamber, and is detected by camera feed of the chamber. Researchers within the chamber cannot observe SCP-5018-1, however, SCP-5018-1 acknowledges their presence by shaking its fists at them, then begins to hover over the MCL.

After 1 minute, SCP-5018-1 de-manifests and the MCL is opened. Results are similar to the MCLs in Site 119. A function was later detected running as background process.

Results: SCP-5018 was unable to access the mechanism. It then proceeded to replicate as observed in Experiment 5018-A. Computer terminal was powered off.

Five redundant logs have been removed

Addendum 5018-3

On 03/24/████ Site 71 reported a containment breach of 2 LSA's and 1 NTT following an experiment involving SCP-5018 at Site 15. The containment breach was later contained by MTF Rho-9 and resulted in 6 casualties. MTF Rho-9 discovered an activated sequence of SCP-5018 before the incident, which has been included in SCP-5018's documents.

struct group_info init_groups = { .usage = MAGNET_INIT(4) }:

struct group_info *groups_alloc(int dimensiontrans){

 group info *group_info;

 int nblocks;

 int i;

nblock = (magsetpol + NGROUPS_PER_BLOCK - 1) / NGROUPS_PER BLOCK;

/* Establish points of contact for the entire quadrants, not just a portion. Keep intentional files within encrypted folders. Make sure we don't forget password. Type it all as one word, look for Access phrases. /*

nblocks = nblocks ? : 1;

group_info = ketrcont(sizeof(*group_info) + nblocks*sizeof(gid_t *), PSWRD_PHRASE = FALL;

if (!group_info)

 return NULL;

This segment has been concluded to control how SCP-5018 terminates power to an electromagnet once it detects a viable MCL. Investigations are ongoing as to the other properties that this computer script exhibits, as well as how this instance was initiated at Site 71.

On 03/26/████, after receiving reports of unauthorized experimentation, Site Director Norva removed Researcher Argost from any projects relating to SCP-5018. An investigation of Researcher Argosts experimentation revealed that he was in possession of an encrypted file. Foundation webcrawlers are currently decrypting the file, however no information has been gathered. Researcher McKay has become the new lead researcher for SCP-5018 until otherwise specified.

What note would you like to access?

- Access Note 1- Close Note 1

I was checking over some of SCP-5018's metadata and code today. Noticed some unusual things about them. For starters, I think the metadata in the Image Analysis is broken. I can't exactly figure out why, but some of the information can be seen through the censors. Guess our guys in the back kind of failed at their jobs. I'm going to try investigating more.

Figured it out. I just had to hover around sections of the censored parts to reveal some text. Could only find one thing. How did this get here? Surely, our guys weren't slacking, right? Well damn. I guess I'll keep snooping around then.

_

- Access Note 2- Close Note 2

Alright, so I found something else. This time hiding in the source code of Experiment 5018-B. Has something to do with the font size of some of the letters. There aren't numbers or anything, so I think the order from top to bottom should be correct. What is happening? I don't get what's going on. It's frustrating. I guess I'll keep looking.

_

- Access Note 3- Close Note 3

That last one's pretty easy. It's basically written down. How we all missed that, I'll never understand. I guess, since we weren't actively looking for something resembling a password, we overlooked it. Oh well, I should have all the phrases by now. All I have to do now is type the three words out, hopefully, in the order they're presented (hopefully there are no spaces in between). But, I can't stop asking myself, "why?" What's the game, here?

Whatever this is that I'm accessing better tell me something fucking important, or I'm dropping the hammer on this thing.

The show poster for Loopy Lilly.

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-5019, it is currently uncontained. Foundation web crawlers have been unable to suppress any mentions of SCP-5019. Administered amnestics have been shown to have no effect. Any mention of SCP-5019 is to be monitored by Foundation web crawlers. Copies should be downloaded and stored on a secure hard drive.
Description: SCP-5019 is a nonexistent episode of the television cartoon Loopy Lilly titled Ick Day. SCP-5019 is displayed as the 15th episode of the 3rd season of the show, despite there being no record of such an episode ever being aired or created. Non-affected individuals remember the episode in its true state as a canceled project (see below.) The status, contents, and description of the episode vary per affected individual.
According to a Foundation web scan of all internet platforms, the release status of SCP-5019 has been remembered in the following various ways:

The episode had an official television release, but no saved copy exists. Rather, only official statements and plot summaries confirming its release. The consensus among those displaying this effect is that it is considered "lost media".
The episode can be found in the same manner as the rest of the series.
The episode was planned for release, but was canceled with only a title and number released. This is the status remembered by non-affected individuals, and is the factually true status.
The episode is a horror story written by a user of an online forum that is popularly mistaken for a lost episode.
The episode is a horror story written by a user of an online forum that is remembered as such, and is not mistaken for being official content.
The episode is only rumored to exist, with the origin of this rumor unknown.
The episode is rumored to exist, but is confirmed fake by an individual who worked on the show.
The episode does not exist in any form, not even in its true form as a canceled title.

As concluded by Foundation-run tests and interviews, those affected by SCP-5019 will view all discussion related to SCP-5019 as matching their own recollection, despite evidence to the contrary. This effect also applies to any stills or clips of SCP-5019.

Non-existence confirmed makes so much sense. I thought it was real for the longest time, and dude, it scared the shit out of me. I mean I heard stuff about Lilly kicking her lamb into the street, and there were pictures of the scene. So fuckin glad those are fake and fanmade. Ick Day, the episode where Lilly went of being mean and grumpy to her friends around time because she was sick and refused medicine. I'd have nightmares about that when I was little. It's a show for like 5 to 9 year olds! God I hate the internet lmao

Thought I'd drop what I remember of the Loopy Lilly episode peeps have been discussing. Basically Lilly is out in the town with her friends and someone near them gets sick and then they're scared that they'll get sick. The spend the whole episode being super careful afraid that they'll get germs and stuff. At the end they all get sick. The episode was controversial because parents were afraid it sent a kinda mean message. It's weird that it's lost. Now I don't remember much either, that's about it.

Addendum-1:
On 09-08-2016, a notable user under the name of Nichola.Myerssss (dubbed PoI-5019) was found on various discussion threads of various sites discussing SCP-5019. PoI-5019 appears to be affected by SCP-5019 in a way that differs from all other cases of SCP-5019's effect. Most affected individuals see all discussions of SCP-5019 fitting their view of it, while PoI-5019 views each discussion written in its true nature. PoI-5019 claims to be the writer of the episode and that it does exist, but was never released. Other affected individuals see PoI-5019's comments as supporting their view of SCP-5019.
Below is an abridged list of comments PoI-5019 has made on discussion threads revolving around SCP-5019:

ITEM NUMBER: SCP-5020
LEVEL 2/5020

CONTAINMENT CLASS: EUCLID
RESTRICTED

Collection of cartridges used to test SCP-5020 instances.

Special Containment Procedures: Unactivated SCP-5020 are to be kept in Site-64's secure storage lockers lined with high-grade insect repellent. Foundation webcrawler CRT/IO is to scan online retailers for potential SCP-5020 instances, which it is to purchase using allotted funds.
Instances of SCP-5020 activated within Foundation containment are to be kept in unfurnished humanoid containment chambers sized appropriately to their masses. Chambers are to be lined by high-grade insect repellent and are to be checked weekly for potential damage. In the case of a containment breach, security personnel are to utilize Foundation-issued flamethrowers to neutralize the instance. SCP-5020 activated outside of containment are to be apprehended by MTF-Eta-6 ("Presented In Color"), who are to contain or neutralize instances as necessary. Witnesses of SCP-5020 transformations are to be administered Class-B amnestics under standard cover story of the event being marketing for an independent film.

SCP-5020-14

Description: SCP-5020 is the collective designation for all Atari 2600 model CX2600 "Heavy Sixer" consoles distributed by Atari, Inc. SCP-5020 were distributed between 1977 and 1978 by Atari, Inc before they were discontinued and replaced by the CX2600 "Light Sixer" model. SCP-5020 possess slight deviations from the design of non-anomalous consoles, namely the presence of Arcadia branding. SCP-5020's anomalous effects only manifest if three conditions are met:

The device is over ten years of age since its initial manufacturing
The device still possesses above 45% of its original components, including the cartridge slot
The device possesses some exposure damage, likely resulting from inadequate storage and neglect

Once these conditions are met, SCP-5020 becomes a host to SCP-5020-A.
SCP-5020-A is an extradimensional colony of insects1 that reside within the collective interiors of SCP-5020. SCP-5020-A consists of various different species, with the most prevalent being German cockroaches. Despite this, SCP-5020-A collectively function as a hive mind. Members of SCP-5020-A are not particularly violent, although biological analysis has regularly found them to carry contagious diseases such as malaria, cholera and gastroenteritis. SCP-5020-A do not require outside nutrition, almost never exiting the confines of SCP-5020. Estimations as to the exact size of the colony have far exceeded the collective interiors of known SCP-5020 instances, suggesting the existence of additional consoles outside of containment. Attempts to view the internal cavity of SCP-5020 instances through invasive means have universally failed, resulting in the expulsion of insects from the exposed interior.
When operating a standard Atari 2600 cartridge, members of SCP-5020-A will begin to extrude from the SCP-5020 instance en masse through ventilation ports, exposed ports and cracks in the exterior casing. The swarm will then coalesce around SCP-5020 and, using their own mass, will take the form of a physical entity around the device. The appearance of this entity varies between instances but is believed to directly correlate with the cartridge being operated. While in this state, SCP-5020 are hostile, and will show immediate aggression if approached. The only known way of dispersing the colony is the neutralization of the enveloped SCP-5020 instance.
Addendum.5020.1: Included below are notable instances of SCP-5020 animation. For a full list of recorded SCP-5020 animations, please see Document 5020-ARI.

Affected Devices
Cartridge
Alterations
Additional Notes

SCP-5020-1
Superman
Mass formed of German cockroaches. Instance developed semi-humanoid form, with SCP-5020-1 appearing in place of the head. Possessed four sets of upper limbs, terminating in jagged insect mandibles. Entity lacked facial features, save for vacant eye cavities. Feet remained an indistinct mass.
First instance animated. Formed during initial testing, where it attacked and fatally wounded three personnel. Neutralized by on-site security.

SCP-5020-4
Mountain King
Mass formed of tropical rat fleas. Entity appears as a large rat king2 made up of a variable number of rats. These rats are physically unstable, regularly fusing to and separating from other rats. Placed at the center of the fused tails is SCP-5020-4. Biological analysis of fleas recovered from SCP-5020-4 have identified them as carriers of the bubonic plague.
First non-humanoid recorded.

SCP-5020-11
Cosmic Swarm
Mass formed of human botflies and botfly larvae. Larvae form an amorphous mass around SCP-5020-11, completely shielding it from view. The mass of larvae is suspended in the air by a layer of mature botflies fused to the mass. Two swarms of botflies orbit medially in a ring formation around the central mass, only leaving this orbit to attack perceived threats.
First instance utilizing immature organisms.

SCP-5020-17
32 in 13
Mass formed of European earwigs, stripe-tailed scorpions, and stone centipedes. Entity appears as an amalgam of various organisms, consisting of mainly limbs. Behavior is erratic, with the entity constantly lashing out at its surroundings. SCP-5020-17 is kept by the rear of the entity, secured via thin silk-like structures.
First to feature arthropods other than insects.

SCP-5020-24
Skate Boardin': A Radical Adventure4
Mass formed of wolf spiders. Entity appeared as a large arthropod. Possesses four pairs of walking legs, each joint being capped by a compound eye. Abdomen and thorax are covered in fine hairs, used to sense the entity's surroundings. At the rear of the entity is a swollen egg sac, containing the television. The screen of the television is visible rapidly changing colors, causing the egg sac to emit luminescence. This television remains attached to SCP-5020-24, located in the abdomen.
First to incorporate a second device.

SCP-5020-31
Frogger
No alterations formed. Instance began to extrude houseflies before smoke was observed emitting from SCP-5020-31's ventilation ports. A high frequency whine was heard as smoke began to fill the room. The device was observed to violently vibrate along the chamber floor, causing several cracks in the exterior casing before the room was completely obscured by smoke. Several additional crashes were heard as SCP-5020-31's remaining casing was shattered before silence.
Upon further investigation, it was found that the room previously containing SCP-5020-31 was now filled with an estimated 30 kg of pulverized insect remains. Further analysis of these remains have discovered traces of toxins commonly secreted by various species of frog. SCP-5020-31 was found reduced to shards, showing signs of extreme heat exposure. The cartridge responsible for SCP-5020-31's neutralization has yet to be found.

Addendum.5020.2: The following is a series of letters recovered alongside an inactive SCP-5020 instance between its original owner and a second party, believed to be a representative of Arcadia.

Hello Atari, Inc or Arcadia. I'm currently writing to you about an urgent matter that must be addressed.
A few weeks ago, I bought one of your consoles from a friend of mine. I like tinkering with old electronics, and I thought it would be fun to see if I couldn't get the machine to start working again. I tried to open the back console to see what was wrong, fucking bugs just started pouring out of the console! I tried to shove the casing back in place, but there were just too many of them! I threw the damn thing in the trash, but they just kept coming, filled up the trashcan like it was nothing.
Since then, my life has been an insect hell. There's bugs in everything I own. No matter where I turn, some sort of fucking creepy crawly gremlin waiting to bite me. All of my food is covered in shit and maggots, every piece of cloth I own is infested with bedbugs and lice, I can't even take a shower because they've gotten into the goddamn pipes! Every time I touch something some miniature gremlin bites my hand. I can't even leave because my fucking garage is filled to the brim with the fuckers!
I'm at my wits end here. Please, just please tell me how to stop the insects.

Hello valued Arcadia customer!
Unfortunately, we are unable to resolve your issues due to various reasons, the most prevalent being the lack of any problem on our part. These "bugs" you speak of are in fact an important feature of your Arcadia-Atari 2600, and are necessary to maintain the long lifespan of the console. Although we are unable to disclose exactly how we do this (as InsectalectronicsTM are a registered trademark of Arcadia), we can inform you that this technology will cause you no harm, as shown by our extensive in-house testing done to ensure Customer SafetyTM!
We have also discovered trace drug residue on the letter you sent us,5 so forgive us if we are less inclined to believe your erroneous claims. We would encourage you to cease spreading misinformation regarding the SafetyTM of our consoles. If you persist, you will be contacted by our legal team, and charges will be pressed.
Thank you for your continued patronage,
Arcadia Electronics Software

Footnotes
1. Although other arthropods such as arachnids and myriapods have been observed.
2. A group of rats whose tails are fused together through entanglement or adhesive.
3. Cartridge was only partially inserted into the console, a method used to produce graphical glitches by only allowing a portion of the game data to be read and processed.
4. Instance was connected to a standard CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) television prior to cartridge insertion.
5. While this claim is currently unconfirmed, it should be noted that trace evidence of cocaine was found on the response issued by Arcadia.

Item #: SCP-5021
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5021 is to be kept in a standard containment locker, accessible to researchers with level 3 clearance at request. SCP-5021-1 instances are to be supervised for no less than four hours. As a result of the events described in Incident Report 5021.2, SCP-5021-2 is considered to be neutralized. Containment is no longer necessary.
Description: SCP-5021 is a chewing gum product named "Long Arm Stretch". Each package bears no images or text save for the product name, and contains eight sticks of gum. The Foundation is currently in possession of 43 packs of SCP-5021.
When SCP-5021 is chewed for approximately 30 seconds, the individual (designated SCP-5021-1) is capable of extending their arm at exponential speeds by vocalizing the product's name. This effect can be activated within four hours of first chewing the gum. The affected arm is capable of breaking through walls and other barriers if allowed to build enough speed, though this is difficult to achieve outside of a test environment.
The affected arm will travel in the direction the subject's wrist is pointing when the activating phrase is spoken, stopping when it reaches a surface that cannot be penetrated or otherwise destroyed. If the subject's arm is not held straight prior to vocalization (e.g. subject's wrist or elbow is bent.) it will forcibly straighten before extending. SCP-5021-1 instances cannot change the direction of their arm during this time. The subject will then 'reel in' to the point the affected limb has reached.
SCP-5021-1 instances experience no discomfort during this period, and are incapable of perceiving pain, though describe an 'exhilarating, whooshing sensation'.
Recovery Log:
SCP-5021 was recovered on 06/11/2018 after the Foundation intercepted online livestream footage of SCP-5021-2. Footage showed SCP-5021-2 2:37 AM in Mid Glamorgan, Wales, under the effects of SCP-5021, with the affected limb extending an unknown distance upwards. SCP-5021-2 is visibly distressed during this process, vocalising frantically and unable to move.
Foundation operatives positioned nearby attempted to take SCP-5021-2 into custody, but were obstructed by SCP-5021-2's arm. Field Agent Jones made a decision to amputate the affected limb using an angle grinder from a nearby construction site, allowing SCP-5021-2 to move freely. Notably, once the arm had been severed, it continued to accelerate, reaching Mach 1 and creating a sonic boom several minutes after, travelling beyond the view of Foundation satellites.
SCP-5021-2 cooperated with their relocation, and was reportedly grateful to Field Agent Jones for severing their limb. The amputation of the subject's arm was observed to heal at a rapidly accelerated rate during recovery.
Eyewitnesses were taken in for routine interviews and amnestication, during which the vendor of SCP-5021 was discovered. All footage of the incident has been scrubbed from the internet, and a cover story about an ARG has been spread in relevant areas. The individual responsible for recording the livestream has yet to be located by Foundation personnel.
The vendor of SCP-5021 claimed it came with their ordinary shipment, and that they hadn't considered them particularly noteworthy. Further investigation is ongoing.
Interview Log 5021-2.1a

Interviewed: SCP-5021-2
Interviewer: Dr. Lennox
Foreword: SCP-5021-2 has spent the night in Foundation custody and has responded positively to an interview request.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Lennox: Good morning SCP-5021-2. How are you feeling?
SCP-5021-2: I've had better days, not going to lie. It's proper weird, this.
Dr. Lennox: Yes, I can appreciate that. You've shown an admirable amount of patience, I'm sure you have a lot of questions.
SCP-5021-2: I do yeah, but after talking to the lads who took me in yesterday I don't imagine I'll be getting many answers.
Dr. Lennox: I'm afraid you're right. In fact, we have a few questions for you about SCP-5021.
SCP-5021-2: Honestly, ask away. The sooner everything goes back to normal, the better.
Dr. Lennox: How did you first come across SCP-5021?
SCP-5021-2: Me and the boys were out on the piss, so I don't remember all of it properly.
Dr. Lennox: Even a rough idea would help, don't worry.
SCP-5021-2: Gazza starts shouting about needing to pick up cigars, cos he's switching from cigarettes, see. So we head down to Dai's shop; only place in walking distance that sells cigars-
Dr. Lennox: And this is where you discover SCP-5021?
SCP-5021-2: It is, yeah. I saw it on the shelf near the cash and it looked so sketchy I couldn't help myself. I says to Dai 'how much is this, boss?' he says 'two pounds' I says-
Dr. Lennox: I get the picture, SCP-5021-2, thank you. Do you remember the events prior to…the incident?
SCP-5021-2: One of the boys dared me to try this backyard, homemade gum and I'm absolutely steaming so I do it right away. It tastes alright, nothing to write home about, but I remember at some point in the evening Gazza is trying to steal the gum off me, and I'm holding it above my head, because he's only little, and I say 'you can't have my…'
SCP-5021-2 trails off and sighs
SCP-5021-2: Then I said the name on the packet, and here we are. I'd rather not say it again, just in case.
Dr. Lennox: That's understandable. I just have one more question, if that's alright.
SCP-5021-2 nods
Dr. Lennox: Have you experienced any other ill effects since the separation of your arm?
SCP-5021-2: Oh you're on about the phantom limb feelings, are you?
Dr. Lennox: You're experiencing phantom limb sensations? Go on.
SCP-5021-2: Yeah, it feels like it's stuck in a fist, and it's bloody freezing. Constantly freezing.
Dr. Lennox: That will be all for today SCP-5021-2, you've been extremely helpful. We'll be in touch.
SCP-5021-2: So when do you reckon I'm getting out, then? I've got tickets to see Cardiff City next week.
Dr. Lennox: We'll keep you informed. Thank you, SCP-5021-2.

Addendum 5021.2.A

I have compiled any notable observations from my sessions with SCP-5021-2 here.- Dr. Lennox.

Date: 06/23/18
Notes: Subject has noted that they are unable to grow facial hair. Though basic observation proves this to be true, medical analysis of SCP-5021-2 reveals no alteration, anomalous or otherwise, to subject's hair follicles.

Date: 11/12/18
Notes: After several weeks of requesting, I have informed SCP-5021-2, with Site Director approval, that the general population, their family included, believe SCP-5021-2 to be missing, presumed dead.
Subject did not respond to any questions after hearing this. After 2 minutes subject indicates they anticipated this being the case, and that they'd like to be alone.
Subject was unwilling to communicate for 5 weeks following this session - Dr. Lennox

Date: ██/██/19
Notes: SCP-5021-2 was heard shouting and complaining of pain in their arm. After the apparent pain had subsided SCP-5021-2 described the sensation as "an intense burning, like someone was holding his arm in a pizza oven."
Foundation deep space satellites observed an unpredicted supernova along the trajectory path of SCP-5021-2's anomalous limb on ██/██/██ in the [REDACTED] galaxy. Credible cover story has been planted in civilian scientific journals successfully.
While there is no guarantee this cosmic event is the result of SCP-5021-2, it is considered likely. The distance of the event from Earth and the date the Foundation recovered SCP-5021-2 would suggest the subject's arm has been traveling faster than light for at least ███ months. - Dr. Rhys

Date: 11/05/28
Notes: SCP-5021-2 vocalizes a concern that many staff on site have: SCP-5021-2 has not visibly aged during its stay with the Foundation. SCP-5021-2's hair, toenails and fingernails do not grow or decay. It appears their body is a 'stasis' of sorts. It can be assumed that any individual that experiences an incident similar to SCP-5021-2's can expect to experience similar effects.
SCP-5021-2 expresses concern that although it has spent several years with the Foundation, it feels as though it is no closer to release.

Date: ██/██/██
Notes: Today was the last meeting I had with SCP-5021-2. I honestly thought he'd be here the day I retired.

Interview Log 5021-2.42p

Interviewed: SCP-5021-2
Interviewer: Dr. Lennox
Foreword: SCP-5021-2 has requested an interview earlier than the scheduled session.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Lennox: How are you feeling, SCP-5021-2?
SCP-5021-2: Same as usual, I suppose. I'm miserable in here, I read the paper and everything is miserable. I sit here and watch everyone age around me. Days feel like they're going in fast motion, but at least I still have my good looks.
Dr. Lennox: Your sense of humour, too.
SCP-5021-2: You've got to use what you can to cope with being doomed.
Dr. Lennox: How do you figure you're doomed? Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
SCP-5021-2 sighs
SCP-5021-2: Do you fancy listening to a story about my nan?
Dr. Lennox: Of course, I'm a big fan.
SCP-5021-2: See, I knew you'd think she was a legend. Now, as you know, she works with old people, or, worked with them before retiring, herself. There was this old boy, Arthur, and he'd seen it all, right? He was in both the wars, he's been knocking around forever, old Arthur, right?
Dr. Lennox: Right.
SCP-5021-2: Now, one day Arthur decides he's had a gut's full of life; he can't walk to the bookies because his hips gave out, and he went and outlived both his kids, and his wife, so he doesn't even have anybody to complain to about it. So he gets the injection.
Dr. Lennox: He opted for euthanasia?
SCP-5021-2: He did, but here's the thing, see: I thought when you get the injection that that's it, job done, stick him with a needle and off to sleep, but no. It takes about ten days. Ten days of just wandering around waiting to die. My nan said it was like feeding a corpse. I'm not too different from Arthur, see, Just different medicine. I don't know what's going to happen to me, but it's not going to be nice, is it?
Dr. Lennox: I understand your fear, SCP-5021-2. To be frank, your case is somewhat unique. You bringing up euthanasia worries me, though. Is it something you've considered?
SCP-5021-2: Not really, like. I've been thinking about the comparison a lot, is all.
Dr. Lennox: Well that's hardly encouraging. We can schedule extra sessions and try a broader variety of recreational activities going forward, if you'd like?
SCP-5021-2 rubs his stump and sighs
SCP-5021-2: I don't think it's going to matter soon.
Dr. Lennox glances at a notification on her phone
Dr. Lennox: I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut today's meeting short, SCP-5021-2. We'll pick this up in a few hours.
SCP-5021-2: Alright, I can't imagine I'd be doing anything else.

Incident Report 5021.2

On ██/██/42 at 12:42 SCP-5021-2 breached containment while sitting in the site cafeteria. Subject accelerated at speeds far surpassing the speed of light at an angle of 9° from the ground. Subject reportedly did not move from seated position during this incident.
The incident left several holes in SCP-5021-2's wake, caused a sonic boom in the site cafeteria, and, most grievously, the object's Faster Than Light properties created a ██m localized temporal distortion field within Site-288's cafeteria. Enough structural damage occured that a complete reconstruction of the site was necessary.

It's terrible what happened, yes, but I can't stop thinking about the scenario if it had happened a few hours later, or a few hours sooner, and the Earth wasn't in such a fortuitous position. -Dr. Rhys

« SCP-5020 | SCP-5021 | SCP-5022 »


Item #: SCP-5022
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Until testing is completed, all specimens of SCP-5022 are to be stored in a communal water tank, which is fitted with a water filtration device to ensure containment integrity. For research purposes, a camera system has been set up inside and outside the containment tank to constantly monitor the condition of all SCP-5022 specimens.
Description: SCP-5022 is the collective designation for the disembodied heads of twenty-nine children of varying gender and ethnicity, all of which demonstrate the ability to reanimate when submerged in water.
When active, SCP-5022 will move around the available area despite the lack of any visible means of propulsion, inspecting any foreign objects in a curious manner. When more than one SCP-5022 specimen is active within the same area, they will interact by crashing into each other at high speeds. The reason for this behaviour is unknown.
Although all SCP-5022 specimens remain silent when under direct observation, surveillance footage shows that when research personnel are not present all specimens will giggle and laugh loudly, despite their lack of vocal organs. When removed from water, an SCP-5022 specimen will become inert and cease all signs of life until returned.

Addendum 5022-1 (Discovery): SCP-5022 was recovered from the home of elementary school teacher Dale Crawton on 21/06/2019, following the disappearance of his entire class during school hours. When authorities arrived at his home to question him, Mr. Crawton was absent, but all specimens of SCP-5022 were present in a water tank in his garage.
Following initial containment, Agents were dispatched to locate Mr. Crawton, finally encountering him as he was attempting to flee the state. Despite attempts at negotiation, a chase ensued, culminating with Mr. Crawton driving off the end of the local pier. Inspection of the vehicle showed that he had been killed instantly during the crash via decapitation.
No personal possessions were found in Mr. Crawton's vehicle during investigation, save for a water-damaged copy of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens in his breast pocket.

Addendum 5022-2 (Communication Attempts): On three separate occasions, an SCP-5022 specimen has deviated from its usual pattern of behaviour by expelling a large bubble from its mouth. This bubble has then risen upwards through the water, forming words before quickly breaking apart.
These messages have been as follows:

swimming

never ever grow up

im hapy [sic]

« SCP-5021 | SCP-5022 | SCP-5023 »


Special Containment Procedures: All activities and buildings related to the storage, creation, or use of landmines, plastic explosives weighing less than two kilograms, and other small conventional explosives (Including, but not limited to; Tannerite, Thermite, Semtex) are to be monitored by the SCP Foundation for SCP-5023 events. If an event is confirmed to have happened or is currently ongoing, Mobile Task Force Sigma-301 ("Rainy Day") should be deployed to the location to protect bystanders, provide emergency services, and disarm any active explosives if possible.
Description: SCP-5023 is a phenomenon that occurs when 6 or more humans are within 100 meters of a large supply of explosives, causing all subjects to engage in an extremely dangerous game of "Ultimate Frisbee." No participants will be harmed during the proceedings, but structures and objects will be damaged or destroyed as normal.
The events that occur during an SCP-5023 event are consistent across all documented cases and are presented below.

Personnel will stop working and begin to talk amongst themselves, even if doing so is potentially dangerous.
A man with a tank top and muscular build1 and a woman with a lacerated and bleeding foot2 will approach the subjects and ask if they would like to play Ultimate Frisbee. Despite the odd appearance of the two entities, most subjects will agree.3
SCP-5023-B will begin to explain the rules to the subjects while SCP-5023-A will begin to clear an area and shape the explosives by hand. SCP-5023-B will then offer the subjects a wrist band in the colors red or blue.4
The game will commence and be played until the supply of explosives is depleted.

Participants are largely immune to physical damage during the game, believed to be a by-product of the bracelet. Attempts to recover a bracelet for testing have failed. Both SCP-5023-A and -B have evaded Foundation capture but provided a single interview in 2012.

Remote Interview | SCP-5023

Close Interview

Interview conducted by Doctor Alexandra Virgil via drone.

[BEGIN LOG]
[SCP-5023-B can be seen shouting across the field outside of a munitions factory in [REDACTED].]
SCP-5023-B: Get some water! You've been playing hard!
[A man can be seen holding a landmine while another man throws punches at it in a manner similar to a boxing coach and a boxer. The second man makes contact, detonating the mine and launching the pair an unknown distance apart. Both sit up and begin laughing.]
SCP-5023-B: Alright. You a new player? Love me some robots.
Dr. Virgil: No? This is a remote-controlled drone, not a real robot.
SCP-5023-A: [Off-Screen.] Hey, don't talk about yourself like that. Obstacles only exist in your mind, brother. Pump some iron and make it real.
Dr. Virgil: Are… Is that a joke?
SCP-5023-B: No jokes here, Robrother. We're all about self-improvement. He's getting ready for the Olympics and I'm learning to firewalk. All mind over matter.
Dr. Virgil: I'm not gonna touch that. Okay. Why are you playing Ultimate Frisbee with highly dangerous explosives?
SCP-5023-A: It's all about satisfying the most primal of human urges. [Pause.] Sorry if the human bit is insensitive.
Dr. Virgil: You're, nevermind. When you say, "most primal of human urges," do you mean adrenaline? A sense of danger?
SCP-5023-B: Nah, man. We're no strangers to extreme sports and all, but we mean the human need to play Ultimate.
Dr. Virgil: The what.
SCP-5023-A: You know, when you pick up anything circulastic or round and you just feel like you gotta throw it like a frisbee? That.
Dr. Virgil: Okay, but why explosives?
SCP-5023-B: Flying is great. [Pause.] I don't wanna cut this short, but we should get back to it. My buddy sent me a new frisbee I can't wait to try out.
[SCP-5023 can be seen withdrawing a modified Roomba vacuum cleaner from its bag.]
SCP-5023-B: Special edition for DC. Pretty neat, huh? Hey, catch!
[END LOG]

Attempts to take SCP-5023-A and SCP-5023-B into custody are ongoing. Property damages caused by both entities exceeds 36 billion dollars.

Interior of SCP-5024. Photograph taken by a now-nameless Agent during exploration.

Item #: SCP-5024
Object Class: Keter Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the extradimensional location of SCP-5024, and the temporary nature of its access points, physical containment is not possible. All efforts are to instead be focused on discovering a consistent method of entering SCP-5024, as well as preventing potential victims from accessing one of its temporary entrances.
As part of these preliminary containment procedures, Mobile Task Force Sampi-6 (“Imaginary Numbers”) are authorized to work alongside pre-approved members of GoI-α-019 (“The Serpent's Hand”).
These procedures are awaiting update following neutralization.
Description: SCP-5024 is an extradimensional infovorous entity which targets members of the thaumaturgical community. Due to being located outside of the standard existential paradigm, SCP-5024 can only be accessed specifically through the Rosen-Fortune Bridges1 that it specifically hijacks. Ordinarily, these Rosen-Fortune Bridges transport the user to a range of different locations following the execution of a certain set of actions, but once a hijacked Bridge is activated the user is taken immediately to the interior of SCP-5024. No pattern has yet been discerned as to which Bridges are hijacked at any given time, and the length of time a Bridge is hijacked seems to be similarly random.
Physically, SCP-5024 is an abandoned building of uncertain size primarily composed of stone and wood. The interior of SCP-5024 superficially resembles an enormous library; however, all shelves present are empty and any books recovered have been found to be full of blank pages. No exterior to the building has yet been identified, as all windows present have only shown a black void outside even when other parts of SCP-5024 should logically be visible. SCP-5024 cannot be exited using the Bridge that the victim took to get there, but other methods of instantaneous transportation have proven effective.
Extended exposure to the interior of SCP-5024 will result in gradual informative digestion. This will begin with the loss of surface details, such as the name of the victim and recent memories, but gradually progress until it is impossible for the victim to be identified as extant by others or themselves2.
While ordinarily information loss as a result of this process will only affect the direct victim, this is not the case if said victim either possesses or is a primary source for another piece of information of greater nutritional value3. In these cases, SCP-5024 will use the victim as a direct link to said piece of information, which is erased from all records following consumption, including human memory.

Believed to be a photograph of Charles Dupuis taken in 1875.

Note that while all records of information consumed in this way are erased, other forms of evidence will still remain, confirming that no actual changes to prior events take place.
As the nature of SCP-5024 means that it exclusively targets the users of Rosen-Fortune Bridges, the Foundation was unaware of its existence until members of GoI-α-019 (“The Serpent's Hand”) reached out and provided documentation of its existence alongside a request for assistance.

Addendum 5024-1 (Archived Documentation)
The following is an excerpt from a letter believed to be have been sent by the original creator of SCP-5024, French occultist Charles Dupuis, to an as-of-yet unidentified individual. It is believed that, at some point, all information pertaining to Charles Dupuis was consumed by SCP-5024; however, the records sent to the Foundation survived due to their storage in an anti-dimensional archive4.

My comrade in the pursuit of truth,
I find myself agreeing with you more and more when I watch the masses mill about the Wanderer's Library. It is a true shame what that den of learning has fallen to. When knowledge is put into the hands of those unqualified to properly use it, what can it yield but disaster? It is troubling in the extreme.
With this in mind, and with your suggestions in our last meeting, I have been thinking about how I can best help the cause on. It cannot be helped now that the Library is abandoned - the well of knowledge there is poisoned by unworthy hands. But as a schematic the value of that place cannot be denied.
The Wanderer's Library is of course now worthless, but must another Library be the same? Surely if we but craft a similar space, set it to stock its shelves by its own will, we could achieve a resource of equal worth in but a short time.
I've set upon the preparations already. When next we meet, I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
Charles Dupuis

Additional resources sent by GoI-α-019 included numerous thaumaturgical blueprints for the creation of a self-maintaining extradimensional space, as well as a list of previously hijacked Rosen-Fortune Bridges.
Upon analysis of this information, and a consensus among Command staff that the continued existence of SCP-5024 posed an unacceptable threat to historical consistency, the order to neutralize SCP-5024 was approved. In order to receive more intelligence to expedite this task, cooperation with the members of GoI-α-019 who had sent the information was approved.
Due to their existing familiarity with the occult community and prior experience with thaumaturgical threats, this mission was assigned to Mobile Task Force Sampi-6 (“Imaginary Numbers”).

Addendum 2 (Negotiation Log)
On 03/02/2020, in order to share information and negotiate cooperation, members of MTF Sampi-6 met with members of GoI-α-019 at the Ecap alled Èffac in Rome, a space adjacent to the Caffè della Pace.

Attending Individuals (MTF Sampi-6)

<Begin Log>
(All parties present take their seats.)
Flammia: It's a nice place you have here.
JACK: Isn't it just? Latin does her work well.
Flammia: I imagine you don't have to wait in line here, either.
JACK: (laughs) That is a benefit, yes. It's too bad we won't be able to come here anymore.
Flammia: Why's that?
Red-832: Because once we're done here, you Jailors5 will descend on this place like vultures.
The Bride: (unintelligible)
JACK: Well, maybe not in so many words, but that is a concern.
(Pause.)
Joe Smith: Boy, this is some good coffee!
(Pause.)
Flammia: I understand. Locke?
Locke: Right. (clears throat) In exchange for your cooperation in this matter, the Foundation is willing to offer further leniency to venues like this, where normalcy is not impacted.
Red-832: Are you reading that off of something?
Locke: I'm not, no.
Buhle: She just has it memorized. (laughs) Was reading it to herself the whole way here!
Jansson: (chuckles)
Locke: A little bit of professionalism, please, if it isn't too difficult.
(Pause.)
JACK: Leniency. That's a, uh, that's a tricksy word. I should know, I use them a lot. Exactly how, ah, how lenient are you going to be?
Flammia: We won't interfere at all unless the public starts to notice you.
JACK: How generous.
The Bride: (unintelligible)
JACK: Yes, yes, I'll ask. I'm afraid quite a few members of our little - well, I can't really call it an organization - are in your custody. I don't suppose they could walk free?
(Pause.)
Flammia: That would depend on who you're talking about.
JACK: Neo-Odin?
Flammia: Absolutely not.
JACK: (shrugs) Ah, didn't think so. Hate the guy anyway.
Joe Smith: Which one is he?
Red-832: The robot.
Joe Smith: Oh. Oh. I didn't like him either - he was a real bad apple.
Locke: If we could get back on topic. Due to your familiarity with SCP-5024 -
(JACK sits up and points at Locke.)
JACK: Ooh! Ooh! Did you hear that? They've given it a number! That's so official!
The Bride: (unintelligible)
(Pause. JACK sits back down.)
JACK: (clears throat) Ah, please continue.
(Pause.)
Locke: Due to your familiarity with SCP-5024, the Foundation would like to enlist your cooperation in a joint mission to enter the anomaly in question and neutralize it.
Red-832: How?
Buhle: Oh, we've got a way. Don't you worry.
Jansson: Mm.
Red-832: Which is?
Flammia: You'll have access to that information once we have you on board. Security reasons.
(Pause.)
JACK: Before we agree, I have a question.
Flammia: Of course.
JACK: We're technically Foundation employees for a little bit if we agree to this, right? Do we get a code-name? What's our code-name going to be?
(Pause.)
JACK: That's a yes, by the way.
<End Log>

Addendum 3 (Neutralization Log)
The following is a record of the actions taken by MTF Sampi-6 ("Imaginary Numbers") and members of GoI-α-019 on 27/02/2020 in order to neutralize SCP-5024. Upon initial entry into SCP-5024, the group was equipped with the following assets:

Layered informative defenses. These were created via the conversion of a significant amount of junk data, such as duplicate maintenance records and minutes of non-vital meetings, into a conceptual barrier surrounding each member of MTF Sampi-6. Similar defenses were created for the members of GoI-α-019. These were constructed on the premise that SCP-5024 would have to digest the massive amount of junk data before it could begin directly consuming information related to the individuals themselves.
Ten pre-written disassembly theorems capable of reducing a human-sized threat to atoms. As these require understanding of the mathematic principles involved to use, these were put into the possession of MTF Sampi-6-3.
Eight magic word squares designed according to the Abramelinal discipline, inscribed with terms allowing for instantaneous transportation out of SCP-5024. One magic word square was placed into the possession of each member of MTF Sampi-6 and the individuals from GoI-α-019.
Materials allowing on-site divination by MTF Sampi-6-4. Divination prior to the mission indicated an acceptable chance of success.
A sealed container holding a toxiphrase created through precise manipulation of existing terms. Consumption of the toxiphrase by SCP-5024 would result in a negative reaction that would destabilize it and cause its metaphysical collapse.

Entry into SCP-5024 was performed through application of Morris dancing at the entrance of the Rosen-Fortune Bridge.

<Begin Log>
(All individuals present are transported to a large room in SCP-5024. The room represents the main hall of a library, save for the lack of any books on the shelves. The only source of light is from lamps present on each of the four large tables in the room.)
(JACK takes a step into the room, swinging his arms and laughing.)
JACK: I have to say, you guys have some moves.
Flammia: Sound off.
Locke: Roger, sir.
Buhle: Roger.
Jansson: Mm-hmm.
(Pause.)
Joe Smith: Ah, uh, should I be doing that?
Red-832: If you want to, I suppose.
The Bride: (unintelligible)
(Mobile Task Force Sampi-6 fan out throughout the room, pointing their weapons in front of them.)
Flammia: JACK?
JACK: Yes, my liege?
Flammia: We need to apply the toxiphrase right at the heart of its thing, to make sure it circulates. The information it's eating from our defenses - can you tell where it's going?
JACK: Well, I'm a man of stories myself, so it shouldn't be too difficult. (He licks his finger and holds it up into the air.) Hm … that-a-way. (He points out into an adjoining hallway.)
Flammia: Right. Move in!
(The group moves into the hallway, with Flammia and Locke at the front and Buhle and Jansson at the back. The members of GoI-α-019 march between them.)
JACK: This place is really so very interesting. Invisible roots sucking up the information, dragging it kicking and screaming through hallways like veins … which, of course, implies the existence of a heart. I'm really having a good time, you guys.
Joe Smith: Um, ah, JACK?
JACK: Yes, my erstwhile comrade?
Joe Smith: I'm just thinking … ah, how much good am I going to do here? I mean - I have to pick my kids up by three, so…
(Locke turns to look at them.)
Locke: We were told you were combat-ready.
JACK: That he is, that he is! Don't you worry your little heads! (quietly, to Joe Smith) It's fine, don't worry about it. I'll see ya right, bud.
(JACK suddenly stops.)
JACK: Something's coming.
(The group suddenly stops, and the members of MTF Sampi-6 aim their weapons in the direction JACK is looking. Around the corner, something can be heard dragging itself across the floor.)
Buhle: This place was empty every other time we got somebody in. Every single time.
JACK: You weren't trying to kill it every other time.
(A misshapen, wet hand appears from around the corner and the owner of the hand uses it to drag itself into view. The technical specifications of the Model M Ford shamble around the corner, clicking and gurgling. It reaches out with its other hand.)
Buhle: (rubbing eyes) The hell am I looking at?
Red-832: Lumps of loose information. This place is smashing them together and sending them after us.
Flammia: You're looking at the enemy, Buhle. Eyes straight.
(The technical specifications of the Model M Ford leap at the group, screaming. All members of MTF Sampi-6 fire upon the specifications, and they fall down to the ground, leaking a dark green liquid.)
JACK: I don't think this will be as simple as you expected.
Flammia: Murphy's law, my friend. Murphy's law. Best to expect this sort of thing.
Locke: Bullets work, at least.
The Bride: (unintelligible)
JACK: No, not yet. (looks up) There are more.
(Jansson presses a button on her collar, and it emits a high-pitched screech. All parties present turn in their direction. On the side of the hallway she is facing, the name, date of birth and childhood memories of Jakob Holt are charging forward, shivering heavily and laughing.)
Flammia: Fire!
(All members of MTF Sampi-6 fire upon the attackers, but they are considerably more resistant to bullets and take several seconds to go down. At the same time, the wall to the side of them bursts inwards and the executive order of William Henry Harrison begins forcing its massive body through the gap with two of its grasping limbs.)
Buhle: Fuck me!
(Red-832 retrieves a candle from their jacket pocket, lights it, and waves a hand. The flame instantly disappears from the candle and the executive order of William Henry Harrison bursts into flame instead, being reduced to ash in the space of a few seconds. A moment later, the candle in Red-832's hand also decomposes into ash.)
(Further enemies - at least ten - are visible entering the hallway behind the corpses of Jakob Holt's name, date of birth and childhood memories.)
Flammia: They're going to keep coming so long as we're here. JACK, lead the way. We need to kill this thing and get out of here as soon as possible.
JACK: Roger, roger!
(JACK begins moving down the opposite end of the hallway, with the rest of the group following after him. Buhle and Jansson provide covering fire as the group moves.)
(Steven Spielberg's E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears charges down the hallway towards JACK on two massive arms, roaring.)
(JACK spits out what appears to be a seed of some description and drops it onto the ground. Immediately, a plant of considerable size bursts out of the ground and its vines converge around E.T. II, gripping and crushing it. It falls to the ground, dead.)
(Classic of Music and The Seventh Universe of the Prophet Hieralias burst out from E.T. II's corpse. The Seventh Universe of the Prophet Hieralias is easily dispatched via gunfire, but Classic of Music is covered in armored plates which make it considerably more durable.)
Flammia: (shouting) Locke, switch with Buhle!
(Locke does so. As Buhle moves up, he retrieves a theorem from his pack and begins reading from it as Classic of Music charges forward, raising its scythe-like arms. As Buhle completes the theorem, Classic of Music pauses and, a second later, is reduced to a fine mist.)
Buhle: How long is this goddamn hallway?!
Jansson: (Nods.)
Joe Smith: Aw, jeez … I don't feel so good…
Locke: Everyone just cover me for a second!
(As Locke begins setting up a holographic thaumaturgic circle, the group cover her. As JACK dispatches Love's Labour's Won with an ax which has suddenly appeared in his hands, a tendril resembling an eel lashes out from beneath the Bride's veil and rips off one of the heads of The Magic Harp.)
(A moment later, the circle appears around the group and a corresponding barrier is erected around its border. The various entities are unable to breach it, and beat against it with their limbs.)
Locke: (to Flammia) Forwards or backwards?
Flammia: Forwards. Nothing has changed.
JACK: I just really want to take a moment and let everyone know how much I'm enjoying myself. Are you enjoying yourselves, too?
Joe Smith: (vomits)
(Locke places her hand in the center of the circle and the area the barrier covers, including the section of floor they are standing on, begins surging down the hallway at extremely high speeds. Within the space of a few seconds the barrier becomes opaque as a result of splattered fluids from the numerous entities it is colliding with.)
Locke: Two more seconds!
(The movement stops, and a second later the barrier disappears. The gathered fluid collapses onto the group. All present members of MTF Sampi-6 wipe their visors clean. Numerous tendrils emerge from the Bride's veil and lick the fluid off her clothing.)
Joe Smith: (vomits again)
Red-832: That's foul.
Jansson: Mm.
Flammia: It was that or dying. Eyes up.
(The group are now in a large chamber with numerous other hallways terminating at various openings in the walls and ceiling. The room is lined with empty shelves, and strings of light are visible flowing from the shelves to an object hovering in the middle of the room.)
JACK: (quietly) The information's clearer here. Strawberry flavored.
(The object in the center of the room resembles a massive human heart composed of wood and stone, with the impressions of constantly changing words running along its surface. As the strings of lights enter the object through numerous holes along its surface, a loud chewing sound can be heard.)
Flammia: There's our target.
Buhle: Theorem, boss?
Flammia: Bigger than a human, Buhle. Not our first resort, at the very least. See if the toxiphrase works first.
(The group steps towards the heart, which flails and screams in a deep human voice.)
Heart: The boiling point of lemonade is 100 degrees Celsius! The House of Hapsburg is believed by the public to have died out in the 18th Century! Walt Disney was born on the fifth of December, 1901! I! I! I!
(A gap opens in the ceiling and the location of The Lost Army of Cambyses begins pouring through the hole, snarling with its multitude of heads and mouths. It lashes out with a tentacle and tears off the Bride's left arm. She does not visibly react, save for a slight rustling beneath her veil.)
Heart: I! I! I!
(The group fires on the location of The Lost Army of Cambyses as it fully enters the chamber using one of its spindly, pointed limbs. Red-832 assaults it with several bursts of blue flame using his candles, but the fires go out shortly after making contact with the enemy. In addition, JACK creates another plant in an attempt to force the enemy back into the hole, but it is of insufficient durability and is torn apart by the location's advance.)
Heart: I! I! I! My kingdom! My home! My brain!
Locke: We need to extract, sir! We're not equipped for this!
(Armored plating begins to cover the location of The Lost Army of Cambyses' hide, rendering gunfire ineffectual. It roars.)
(JACK turns to Joe Smith.)
JACK: Joseph, I would absolutely love it if you'd show me that party trick again.
Joe Smith: Well, ah, jeez, are you sure this is the time, bud?!
JACK: (bows theatrically) Absolutely. Take it away, my friend!
(As the enemy fully enters the chamber, it falls down to the ground and takes a defensive position in front of the heart.)
(Joe Smith takes a step forward, retrieving a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and smoothing it over.)
Joe Smith: Now, ah, if I remember the words right, I'm supposed to say -
(The enemy lunges forward at him.)
Joe Smith: Rhyx Mianeth6?
(A bright red light engulfs the chamber, and the location of the Lost Army is sent flying backwards into the wall, where it collapses into a quivering mass.)
(An entity which is simultaneously a swarm of human-faced locusts and a fully nude headless human male of abnormal size7 is standing in front of Joe Smith. A moment later, it charges towards the mass on the other side of the room and begins physically tearing it apart with its jaws and/or hands.)
(The chamber, as well as the extradimensional space, are collapsing, as chunks of wood and stone fall from the ceiling and the floor breaks apart, revealing a black void beneath.)
(The heart screams loudly, shifting in appearance to resemble the face of Charles Dupuis. It gnashes its teeth and flails wildly as the chamber continues to collapse.)
Heart: Mine! Mine! Mine!
Locke: It's over. We're extracting!
Red-832: No, this place will just reform if we leave it! We need to finish the job.
(Pause.)
Flammia: You lot extract. I'll finish the job here.
JACK: (stepping forward) Well, ah, forgive me if I'm out of turn - which I usually am, haha - but it seems that as a denizen of the Library, it'd be good form for me to finish this piece of Library business, eh?
(Pause.)
Flammia: I see where you're coming from, friend. But the Garden is the Serpent's place.
(Pause.)
JACK: (sighs) Ah. Thought I recognized you. Good luck to you, then.
(All members of MTF Sampi-6, save for Flammia, and all members of GoI-α-019 evacuate through use of magic word squares. Jansson lingers for a moment prior to evacuating.)
Heart: My kingdom! My brain! My will! Mine!
(Sealed container in hand, Flammia runs towards the heart, dodging out of the way of numerous chunks of rock and informative entities that fall from above.)
Heart: Mine!
(He rolls out of the way of a strike from the heart's tongue and leaps over a growing hole in the floor. Reaching the other side, he grabs onto the heart by the eyelid with one hand, while the other holds the sealed container. The heart screeches in pain.)
Heart: Thieves! Commoners! Parasites!
Flammia: Oi!
(The heart pauses its ranting and its pupils shift to stare directly at Flammia. The sealed container opens.)
Flammia: [DATA EXPUNGED], dickhead.
(Video lost.)
<End Log>

The destruction of the SCP-5024 extradimensional space was confirmed immediately after. As the consequences of existing outside a specific universe are variable and inconsistent, Michael Flammia has been declared missing in action pending confirmation of his status.

Addendum 4 (Further Exchange with GoI-α-019)
Although the members of GoI-α-019 left the area with haste shortly following their emergence from SCP-5024, the Foundation received further communication from them a week later in the form of several objects that appeared within Site-22.
These objects consisted of:

A coiled-together eel which regenerates any physical damage within the span of several seconds. Tentatively designated SCP-████.
A candle which, when lit, does not go out without direct interference on the part of the one who lit it. Tentatively designated SCP-████.
A small, spider-like creature which cures any physical condition affecting the bowels within its range. Tentatively designated SCP-████.
A genetically normal dairy cow.

They were accompanied by the following note:

We really do appreciate everything you've done, but some of our comrades don't seem to look on our little 'alliance' so happily, so it's best we don't meet face-to-face again. Still, we had fun.
Don't you worry, though. We'll find your boy.

Attempts to trace the current location of PoI-2232 ("JACK") and his subordinates have proven unsuccessful.
