rating: 0 + x Photograph of SCP-XXXX taken upon acquisition. Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be kept in a small cell adjacent to an observation room. SCP-XXXX’s heart rate and brain activity must be monitored at all times using the proper equipment. Only assigned personnel are allowed to enter SCP-XXXX’s cell and observation room. Both SCP-XXXX and it’s cell must be cleaned at least once every two days. Description: SCP-XXXX is a young Asian male named ████ ██████ dressed in kāṣāya meditating in the Lotus position. SCP-XXXX is constantly in state of hibernation, and has been for an unknown amount of time. Any attempt at waking SCP-XXXX has been a failure. Within the 11 years the Foundation has had SCP-XXXX in its containment, it has never moved See Addendum. It does not respond to any outside stimuli, nor does it seem to be aware of it. However, analysis has shown that its brain is constantly active, with synapses firing off at an abnormal rate. Despite being in this state for years, SCP-XXXX has shown no signs of aging or overall change, nor has it faced any negative effects normally caused by a lack of sustenance. SCP-XXXX first came to the Foundation’s attention after field agents in Cambodia reported rumors of a Buddhist monk who had been meditating for 6 years at a nearby monastery and were ordered to investigate. After acquisition, the monks residing in the monastery were all given Class-A amnestics, and the rumors dissipated afterwards. Addendum: On 2/20/2016, SCP-XXXX briefly awoke and requested to talk with Dr. ████, one of the scientists who assisted in its acquisition. The following is a transcript of the recorded interview between them. + View Transcript - View Transcript Interviewed: SCP-XXXX Interviewer: Dr. ████ Foreword: [The interview began at 7:46 PM Eastern Standard Time and was held in the observation room to SCP-XXXX’s cell. Not only did Dr. Rath conduct the interview, he also translated it from Cambodian to English.] <Begin Log> Dr. ████: I am glad that you were finally able to reach out to us, XXXX. You do feel alright with us calling you that, yes? SCP-XXXX: It matters not to me, Doctor. Dr. ████: Alright then, let’s do this. First, why did you decide to wake up?

SCP-XXXX: To give you the answers. Is that not why you brought me here? To find the answers? Dr. ████: Well, thank you for offering to teach us. We always appreciate cooperation. Now, do you know why you were in that state for such a long time?

SCP-XXXX: (SCP-XXXX pauses for a moment). I take it that you are familiar with the concept of astral projection.

Dr. ████: Of course. It’s our job to be familiar with such things.

SCP-XXXX: Long before I took the monastic life, I was fascinated by the idea. I remember researching and practicing all I could back when I was a teenager. I didn’t get very far. (SCP-XXXX laughs slightly). It was only when I became a monk did I actually have any real experiences. The other monks in the monastery thought it was foolish and served little purpose in reaching enlightenment. Perhaps I should’ve listened.

Dr. ████: …Continue.

SCP-XXXX: As I delved deeper and deeper into the astral plane, I began to discover things… Dark things. One could potentially call them demons, I call them Mara. They are constantly invading this plane, wreaking havoc in the shadows. You can’t contain them, nor can you reason with them. The moment I stared into one of their unholy visages, I realized I couldn’t just use this gift to explore the astral plane like a wandering tourist. I had to use it with reason. And so, I entered that state of intense hibernation, your Foundation acquired me, years passed, and here we are now.

Dr. ████: …No further questions.

SCP-XXXX: Then my job here is done. Now, I need to get back to more important matters. Goodbye, doctor. Perhaps one day we shall meet again, but not in this world of flesh.

<End Log>

Note: [While SCP-XXXX was out of it’s comatose state, Incident-[REDACTED] occured. Witnesses say that as SCP-XXXX was leaving the interview, “he had a deep look of shame on his face. Like he did something he knew he shouldn’t have done.]

Closing Statement: [After the interview ended, SCP-XXXX almost immediately went back to his cell,without saying a word to anyone. We got him hooked up to all that monitoring equipment again, and then he just sat there, closed his eyes, and drifted off. Since then, he hasn’t woken up. I don’t think he ever will - Dr. Rath]

rating: 0 + x Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be kept inside of the storage wing of Site-██ at all times inside of a standard lockbox. The key is to be kept by Dr. Hawk, who also oversees all experimentation with SCP-XXXX. Individuals are only allowed to test with SCP-XXXX for a maximum of three times a year, with at least two months between each test. While wearing SCP-XXXX, only D-class are permitted to go above 850 meters. Description: SCP-XXXX is a pair of Jeremy Scott pink winged sunglasses. Multicolored streaks are crudely handpainted onto the the frame of SCP-XXXX. Microscopic analysis reveals that there are etchings on these streaks which repetitively say the word Nostalgia in sixteen foreign languages, including Spanish, French, German, Norwegian, Japanese, and Arabic among others. When an individual over the age of 18 wears the glasses, they will begin to hallucinate a recreation of the entire world at some moment in their childhood or teen years. This recreation shall hereafter be known as SCP-XXXX-1. When the wearer moves, all movement in the real world will carry over into SCP-XXXX-1. For this reason, all test subjects are to use an omnidirectional treadmill. The date that the wearer is witnessingwill always be an event that the wearer possesses a sense of nostalgia for. This could be anything from a birthday party, a graduation, or seeing a loved one after a long period of absence. Cross referencing the testimonials of wearers with any existing video footage of the event they witnessed shows that the hallucination has approximately a 97.85% accuracy rate. However, this only applies when the wearer stays within 100 meters of the event they are witnessing. As the wearer moves away from the event, abnormalities begin to occur in SCP-XXXX-1. The farther the wearer gets from the event, the more disjointed and surreal the surroundings get. Wearers have reported seeing buildings turning upside down, pedestrians with ambiguous facial features, and floating dodecahedrons in the sky when about 320 meters away from their initial entry point Research has shown that the wearer will occasionally see a man within SCP-XXXX-1, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-2. The description of the man is slightly inconsistent, but witnesses all agree upon certain traits. The man wears a green windbreaker and tan slacks, all stained with what appears to be paint. He appears to be Latino, and in his late 40’s. Some witnesses have reported him wearing one or two additional articles of clothing that corresponds with the location and time period SCP-XXXX is showing them. In most cases, SCP-XXXX-2 will appear when the observer arrives at approximately 110 meters from the entry point. It will appear about 300 meters away, and not move any closer while the observer is looking at it. As the observer gradually moves from the entry point, SCP-XXXX-2 will gradually grow closer and closer. At around 500 meters, SCP-XXXX-2 will appear right behind the observer and begin to visibly move, walking alongside them. Anomalous feelings of restlessness and unease tend to appear at this point in time, causing many wearers to remove SCP-XXXX soon after this point. However, when an observer successfully passes the 600 meter mark, SCP-XXXX-2’s appearance will begin to shift. Test subjects have reported seeing a lack of blinking, a loss of skin pigment, and gradual emaciation. SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to portray negative events in the wearer's life. When the observer reaches the 1 kilometer mark, they will enter a catatonic state. Addendum XXXX-1: On ██/██/████, D-22871 witnessed an individual within his hallucination turn into another man during testing. The man seemed to be in a state of distress, asking D-22871 to help him. SCP-XXXX-2 then appeared earlier than ever recorded and proceeded to drag the man to an unknown location, causing D-22871 to remove SCP-XXXX and exit the testing room without permission. The description of the man reported matches that of D-92611, who was rendered catatonic during testing two weeks prior.
