The Broken Highway

Item #: SCP-4702

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4702 is in a state of constant growth due to it seemingly gaining power from a as of yet determined source. The anomaly grows at a rate of 12 centimeters per day. This effect is slowed down to 1.2 centimeters per day with the use of Scranton Reality Anchors (SRAs). The minimum amount of SRAs that should be active at all times is 50. At the current time a device is being developed to completely halt the anomalies growth . There is to be a perimeter of 500 meters away from the outer most area of influence. This perimeter is to be monitored at all times via hidden cameras and light foot patrols. A checkpoint is to be constructed disguised as a toll booth where any and all cars are to have their occupants amnestised and relocated to the opposite side. The Indiana TRU Division to be considered a High Risk Unit Zone (HiRiZU).

Level call out description L. 1 Human sighted The human specimen is to be immediately quarantined and subsequently terminated due to incident 386. All human subject are to be terminated after Ninety-Six hours of convergence. L. 2 Animal sighted Immediate termination. L. 3 Automated drone sighted A broadband jammer should be the drone is to be immediately captured and studied for sentience and viability to advance foundation resources. All drones must be terminated within 2 hours of convergence. L. 4 Unknown creature sighted Immediate termination and autopsy. Creature must be incinerated within 30 minutes of convergence. L. 5 Leviathan sighting Immediate mobilization of no less that Five Tactical Response Unit (TRU) regions consisting of no less than 100 TRU Agents each. Air and land assets are to be immediately mobilized to aid in the termination of the Leviathan.

+ Show outdated containment procedures - Collapse A perimeter of five-hundred meters must be established as to not allow anyone to enter the anomaly. Any and all humans are to rescued and reinstated into the general populace when available.

Dr. A███████ has been severely punished as to these lax and dangerous containment procedure. Take this as a warning to anyone who wants to skimp on a containment procedure. it will cost lives maybe even yours. -Dr. Holmes.

The current containment procedure is multi leveled due to the subjects’ unpredictability.

Description: SCP-4702 is an area of land with a diameter of 1 (one) kilometer over a stretch of highway located on North Michigan Road within Indiana USA. The anomaly leads to an alternate earth that has experienced some form of end of the world scenario or major societal restructuring. These events range from GH-Class "Dead Greenhouse Event" to XK Class "End of the World Scenario". The reality that SCP-4702 is connected to will change once every 29-24 hours.

The anomaly appears as the refraction of light similar to that of hot air above a highway road. This effect worsens as the viewer gets closer to what is known as the point of convergence, that being the center of the anomaly. The convergence point is the center of the anomaly. Once a subject reaches the point of convergence they will be seamlessly transported to the alternate reality.

The observation and study of these alternate earths can take no more than 18 hours. If an expedition exceeds 18 hours it risks being indefinitely lost when the alternate universe is disassociated with the anomaly. Due to the nature of these alternate earths any personnel exploring these worlds must be under quarantine for a minimum of 7 days to make sure that there is no risk of any possible contamination.

Exploration Log (A02)

Goal: Preliminary exploration to discern the value of the anomaly.

Team: Kilroy (1), Maverick (2), James (3)

Call-sign: Onward 1

Command: Onward this is High Command do you copy?

Kilroy: High Comm this is 1:1 we copy.

Command: Good check please make sure all systems and seals are in check.

Kilroy: Good copy willco. You hear that men? no tears no nothing.

James: Yuup all it takes is one speck of some demon shit and we're all fucked.

Maverick: J'ya say demon shit? Man you gotta stop readin' d'at bible is all tales of fancy.

James: In times of hardship faith is all we got Mav.

Maverick: In times of hardship a bullet is all it takes to end it.

James: Wh- What?

Kilroy: Quit bickering like an old married couple. We all good?

James: All green.

Maverick: Same.

Kilroy: Allright. High Command this is Onward 1:1 we are all green.

Command: This is Command copy 1:1 You are good to move out.

Upon the teams convergence they find themselves in the same spatial co-ordinates but in a more notably destroyed version. The surrounding terrain has a noticeable red haze. In the Indianapolis skyline a 280 meter tall leviathan is seen amongst the destroyed and or ruined buildings.

James: I don't like this one bit.

Kilroy: Right? Barely any bodies only dried pools of blood. I mean christ it's just eerie.

A sound is picked up faintly in the cameras audio

James: Shh!

The team immediately perks up and begins looking around the area. Soon a unknown biological form jumps from the ceiling landing on top of Kilroy rupturing his suit from the impact.

Kilroy: JESUS FUCK SHOOT THIS THING

The team hesitates for a moment before opening fire. This gives the unknown creature enough time to tear at Kilroys' suit even further damaging it. As soon as Kilroy screams the team is seemingly brought back to their senses promptly firing at the creature killing it.

Kilroy: FUCK THAT HURTS!

James: Stay still you're suits torn and I need to treat your wounds.

Maverick: Here put the backup respirator on keep the breathing of the air to a minimum.

Kilroy: Good idea

The team patches Kilroys' wounds up and bag the creature evacuating the area to get better medical care.

Post OP. Summary: The wounds that Onward sustained were non-serious. The creature that was recovered was linked to SCP-████. SCP-████ Is now pending further investigation. SCP-████ now reclassified as Keter. SCP-4702 seems a valuable asset for knowledge acquisition.

Operations Documentation

Notes: We have recently discovered that the energy that is feeding the anomaly is carrying a signal with it. The signal seems to be encrypted and will take some time to crack. This discovery seems to point to this anomaly being sustained from some other reality. I advise that we be at the ready, for whatever is on the other side seems advanced enough to at least stabilize this entity. I fear we may soon meet whoever they are. – Dr. Crellen.
