Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: Loose instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be apprehended and interred at Site-06-3 immediately upon discovery. All new instances are to undergo DNA-testing to determine whether they are instances of SCP-XXXX-1 or a different SCP. Each instance of SCP-XXXX-1 in Foundation custody is to be kept in a separate Standard Humanoid Containment Chamber at Site-06-3. They are to be provided the same amenities as regular human subjects. Additionally they are to be provided with: (1) canine toothbrush; (3) packs of disposable straws, weekly; (1) table fan; (2) feeding bottles; (1) handheld vacuum cleaner; (1) pack of vacuum bags, monthly. These items are intended to facilitate daily life for captive instances, as necessitated due to their altered physiology. Additional requests made by captive instances, such as specific foods or entertainment materials, may be provided following approval by assigned Level 3 staff. Captive instances are allowed access to lounge and recreation areas for humanoid SCPs between 14:00 and 19:00 GMT, under armed escort. Each instance shall be assigned a personal caretaker and must possess Level 2 clearance and be trained in psychology, specialized in PTSD, and basic self-defence techniques. Captive instances are to be offered proper therapy relevant to their needs. Violence on part of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance shall be punished by forcing the instance(s) in question to wear key-locked muzzles for 24 hours. During this time, their regular meals will be substituted with liquid food. This punishment may be waived by the instance's caretaker. Civilians with long-term memories of SCP-XXXX-1 not treatable with amnestics, who have been responsible for containment pre-discovery, must be either co-opted into containment procedures or relocated to a Foundation internment facility for non-anomalous humans. Such civilians may be allowed onsite as visitors pending approval from Site Director and assigned Level 3 personnel. Co-opted civilians are allowed to keep their SCP-XXXX-1 instance at their place of residence , provided certain criteria are met and the location is sufficiently remote. A Foundation liaison must be present at such a site at all times. Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation given to an anomalous deformity affecting the human head. Victims of SCP-XXXX have their heads transformed into that of a dog, with individuals displaying variation with regards to type of breed. The global number of people affected by the condition (designated SCP-XXXX-1) remains uncertain. The Foundation has documented eighty-seven (87) instances of SCP-XXXX-1, of which 84 have been confirmed terminated and three (3) remain in Foundation custody , with an additional 193 attested mentions in various historical sources that remain unverified. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 commonly appear as baseline members of Homo sapiens sapiens up to the laryngeal prominence, wherefrom it appears as a baseline canine head . This head is proportional to the rest of the instance's otherwise human body. Eye, hair and skin colours show significant individual variation and do not correlate with the original humanoid facial characteristics of the subject. Despite the significant physiological differences between the canine and human body parts, the heads never suffer rejection from the subjects' immune systems. DNA analyses have shown perfect genetic matches between head and body in all SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Despite the cranial anatomy of SCP-XXXX being identical to that of a dog, all verified instances have reportedly possessed human intelligence, sensory abilities, speech capabilities and command of language, even though their altered oral structure and lack of identifiable vocal cords would preclude it. These heads have also been noted to lack sweat glands. Interviewed instances invariably consider themselves to be fully human and have generally blamed their condition on external factors, such as [REDACTED]. The transformations have been described as exceedingly painful and most instances have developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from their ordeals. Saint Christopher is sometimes represented with the head of a dog, such as in this Eastern Orthodox icon. Icons such as this constitute one of many historical depictions and attestations of SCP-XXXX. There seems to be no geographical limit to SCP-XXXX distribution: individual instances can be found wherever there is human settlement. SCP-XXXX is not contagious and no pathogen has been identified, its causes thus remain unknown. In all documented cases, instances have sought out remote locations far away from population centres. Preferred locations have been remote monasteries or mountains and forests, where they have lived as hermits. Contained instances have mostly expressed relief and gratitude over containment, citing widespread hostility in previous encounters with non-anomalous humans and harsh living conditions. Addendum-1: This phenomenon is not unprecedented. On the contrary, there are quite a few historical attestations of cynocephaly. Cynocephalous people are mentioned in a variety of European, Islamic and Chinese accounts, and may represent the most widespread type of zoocephaly in modern times. Several historical figures, such as Saint Christopher have been recorded as suffering from SCP-XXXX. Additional examples of zoocephaly include the well-known Minotaur of Greek mythology (existence yet unproven) and SCP-2481-3. I would recommend further research to be pursued regarding this matter, to see if a connection can be found between them. I believe that further specimens may be acquired by concentrating our efforts on countries where zoocephaly is a common mythical and legendary motif, such as Africa, the Indian subcontinent and the indigenous peoples of the Americas. There might just be a grain of truth to be found in those stories. - Dr. Judith Low Addendum-2: A request was submitted to the Horizon Initiative on 24/11/2013 to investigate and share data on the relics of Saint Christopher, kept under their jurisdiction in [REDACTED].

Item #: SCP-3000 Object Class: Neutralized Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3000 has been effectively blocked by filling and covering its entrance, SCP-3000-1, with concrete, which has been disguised as part of its adjoining storeroom. All of SCP-3000's accessories have been removed. Lights have been installed around the concrete block to provide constant illumination from dusk till dawn. Maintenance checks of the lights must be performed daily by at least three (3) technicians of Level 2 clearance, disguised as communal electricians. Surveillance cameras have been installed to constantly monitor SCP-3000 and any activity in its vicinity. The door leading from SCP-3000-1 has been removed and the entrance sealed. The storage space previously accessible via this door has been replaced with a stairway inside the storeroom adjacent to SCP-3000. There have been no further sightings of SCP-3000-2 or reports of missing people since neutralization. Any eventual resurgence of the phenomenon linked to SCP-3000, whether in ████████ or elsewhere, must immediately be reported to Head Researcher Helena Sundström and/or any available SCP-3000 staff. Description: SCP-3000 is a phenomenon tied to a concrete staircase (designated SCP-3000-1) attached to the outside of a small storage facility, all owned by ████████████, a public housing company tied to ████████ Commune , Sweden. SCP-3000-1 remains inactive during daylight and twilight hours, activating only inbetween periods of astronomical twilight (as such, it is notably completely inactive during the summer months). This cycle remains unaffected by the degree of cloudiness and other weather conditions, although solar eclipses have not yet been tested for. When activated, the bottom landing of the staircase appears shrouded in complete darkness, beginning from the fifth step downwards. This area remains unaffected by external light sources beyond the structure, such as street lights or flashlights, but will part normally when a light source is brought beyond the first step . A light switch is located above the handrail above the first step. Pressing this turns on a light affixed diagonally to the left above the door on the bottom landing, and is timed to turn off automatically after 30 minutes have elapsed. Once SCP-3000-1 is illuminated by this light, the shadow of an unidentified human individual will appear on the far wall of the bottom landing. This shadow (designated SCP-3000-2) appears as a presumably male subject clad in a shirt, trousers and shoes. SCP-3000-2 stands on the bottom edge of the wall and lacks any point of origin from which to be cast. By turning its head, it will follow the movements of any animate being within the limits of SCP-3000-1, but will otherwise remain inactive. This shadow cannot be dispersed by any form of lighting. While within SCP-3000-1, it is incapable of interacting or being interacted with in any manner. It should be noted that human beings above the age of 20 are unable to directly perceive SCP-3000-2, though may see it via visual records or electronic displays (such as camcorders and image intensifiers). SCP-3000-2 has been identified as a malevolent entity preying on primarily underage individuals of various ages . Once the light of SCP-3000-1 is turned off (during nighttime), underage individuals are instantaneously transported to a pocket dimension (designated SCP-3000-3) inhabited by SCP-3000-2. Turning the light back on does not return the children thus lost, although SCP-3000-2 will reappear, sometimes in a different position. Whenever any number of subjects were accompanied by at least one (1) person aged 20 or older, all individuals have remained unaffected. SCP-3000-3 is a comparatively small pocket dimension whose surfaces appear to consist of an unidentified metal alloy. The dimension is empty save for [REDACTED], considered a byproduct and subject to decomposition to the point of dematerialization. Water has been observed to regularly drip from fixed points in the ceiling, though without any apparent source, and disappears upon contact with the floor. The sole native inhabitant of SCP-3000-3 is SCP-3000-2, which possesses the ability to move and interact with matter within SCP-3000-3. Upon the appearance of a new underage subject within the pocket dimension, SCP-3000-2 will proceed to sexually assault the subject in various ways. SCP-3000-2 has been observed to treat these subject similarly to livestock, using them for its own sexual pleasure though taking care to keep them alive. Once a subject reaches the age of 20, it is summarily executed by SCP-3000-2 (usually by way of blunt force trauma). No exit or other means of escape from SCP-3000-3 has thus far been identified. Several experiments and expeditions into SCP-3000-2 have been conducted, though none have yielded any significant information about the nature of SCP-3000 . Only one expedition, conducted in 1992, has thus far been considered successful. A transcript of the expedition can be viewed here: Expedition Log UM-3000-1504-3. Addendum: Following the successful neutralization of SCP-3000, all Foundation personnel involved have requested and been granted amnestic treatment and psychological therapy, citing trying experiences related the observation of SCP-3000-3, conducted using JD-1.

Opening Statement: Due to previous attempts at unmanned exploration having failed, yielding no results, along with the Foundation's Ban on the Utilization of Juvenile D-Class (1977), a decision was made to purchase an All-Natural Automaton (ANA), item #S5-ACF-375 from Amrita Therapeutics . It had been hypothesized that SCP-3000-2 identifies its targets based on physical appearance, and the use of an ANA was meant to test that hypothesis. The ANA was given the designation JD-1 (nicknamed "Jade" by staff) and sent on an expedition to SCP-3000, along with Agent Hammar and Agent Karlsson. The Expedition was supervised by Head Researcher Dr. Helena Sundström. Personnel List:

Doctor Helena Sundström: Head Researcher of SCP-3000 and supervisor of the expedition (UM-3).

Agent Elias Hammar: Recon specialist, expedition member.

Agent Åke Karlsson: Foundation Negotiator and GOI Liaison. Ph.D. in Group Psychology. Expedition member and supervisor of JD-1. The expedition transcript has been translated from Swedish. Camera feed starts at 02:45 UTC+1 from the point of view (POV) of JD-1. The presence of Agents Hammar and Karlsson are visually confirmed. JD-1 is looking at SCP-3000-1, which is not illuminated. Agent Hammar: This is Agent Hammar to Command. We're in position. All preparations complete. Do you read?

Dr. Sundström: This is Command. We read you, Agent Hammar. Proceed with the operation.

Agent Hammar: Acknowledged. [to Agent Karlsson] Time to go. Agent Karlsson is seen pressing the light-switch to SCP-3000-1, immediately illuminating the staircase. Camera feed shows SCP-3000-2 appearing on the far side of the wall at the bottom landing. Dr. Sundström: We're receiving a visual on SCP-3000-2. Please confirm.

Agent Hammar: Negative, Command.

Agent Karlsson: Negative. I see nothing. [to JD-1] What about you, Jade?

JD-1: What?

Agent: Karlsson: Can you see the shadow?

JD-1: You mean that one on the wall there? Yeah, I do. [pause] Erm… confirmed?

Dr. Sundström: Acknowledged, UM-3. That confirms parts of our hypothesis. Please proceed. JD-1 is led down the staircase to the bottom landing by Agent Karlsson. Agent Hammar remains at the top to keep lookout. Agent Karlsson: We're here, Command.

Dr. Sundström: Roger that, UM-3. Hold position until further notice.

Agent Karlsson: Understood.

JD-1: Hey, Åke…

Agent Karlsson: Yes?

JD-1: That guy, err… shadow? There's nothing casting it, right? JD-1 is seen extending an arm and pointing at SCP-3000-2.

Agent Karlsson: Well, I can't really see it, but yes, that's what the file says, at least.

JD-2: How does it do that?

Agent Karlsson: That's a good question. I actually have no idea, Jade.

JD-1: Do you think the one who had it lost their shadow? Like, they forgot and left it behind here?

Agent Karlsson: Looks startled. I erm… that mayb- The feed goes black. Voices can still be heard in the background. Dr. Sundström: This is Command. Your feed just blacked out, UM-3. Status report.

Agent Hammar: This is Hammar. Confirm on blackout, the whole staircase is covered in this black fog, it looks like. Can't see anything down there.

Agent Karlsson: This is Karlsson. Blackout confirmed. It really is pitch black down here. I can't even see my own body. Doesn't seem to affect sound though.

JD-1: This is Jade. I'm here, but I can't see anything. Shuffling can be heard. I think I found Karlsson.

Agent Karlsson: Yup, that's me alright.

Dr. Sundström: Wonderful. Everybody's accounted for. UM-3, proceed with Phase 2.

Agent Hammar: Roger, Command. Turning the light back on. Camera feed reveals JD-1 to still be on the bottom landing of SCP-3000-1, along with Agent Karlsson, with whom she is holding hands. Agent Hammar: You heard the lady, Karlsson, get back up here!

Agent Karlsson: Alright! Turns to JD-1. You be a good girl now, Jade, and stay here. I'll just go back up for a moment, and then I'll be back. Okay?

JD-1: Okay. JD-1 nods rapidly, causing the footage to blur. But please be quick!

Agent Karlsson: Of course! Agent Karlsson is seen waving goodbye and ascending the stairs, disappearing beyond the topmost step. After another 17 seconds, the video feed again turns black. Audio feed is abruptly flooded by several new sounds, identified as a mix shuffling, whispers, dripping water, mumbling, weeping and various echoes. JD-1: W-where am I?! Åke? Doctor- I mean, Command? Are you there? It feels different… suddenly. I-

Dr. Sundström: We read you JD-1. The video feed is black though, so we can't see anything. We're going to turn the light back on and have Agent Karlsson come and get you, okay?

JD-1: Okay…

Dr. Sundström: Hammar, Karlsson, report.

Agent Hammar: Me and Karlsson are fine, Ma'am. Karlsson's a bit agitated, that's all. Orders?

Dr. Sundström: Turn the light back on, Hammar, and quickly.

Agent Hammar: Roger that.

3 seconds pause.

Agent Karlsson (background) -s not there. She's not there, you bastard! What did you do to her?!

Agent Hammar: Aside. Calm the fuck down, Karlsson! And quiet, I've Command on the line. Into commlink. Command? Karlsson got ahead and pressed the button himself. Light's on again, but no sign of JD. She's gone. Also, Karlsson is severely agitated. Requesting orders. JD-1 is confirmed to be in SCP-3000-3 and deemed irretrievable. Karlsson is ordered to patrol the perimeter while Hammar remains by SCP-3000-1. Phase 3 of the expedition is commenced. Dr. Sundström: JD-1, can you hear me?

JD-1: I hear you, Doctor. Where is Åke and the other guy? Where am I? This place is creepy.

Dr. Sundström: We know you're somewhere else, we think its a storeroom of some sort. Agent Karlsson has been ordered to look for a way to get to you and get you back. He's working on it.

JD-1: Oh, okay. Erm… do you know when he'll be here? Will it be soon?

Dr. Sundström: We don't know exactly, JD, it might take some time. In the meantime though, we'll need you to go and explore the place. Maybe you'll find something that Åke can use to find you quicker. You think you can do that?

JD-1: Oh, er… okay, I'll try.

Dr. Sundström: Good girl! Now, start by turning on your flashlight, and then just walk about and tell us what you see. Okay?

JD-1: Okay! The video feed is illuminated by JD-1's headmounted flashlight. Visible is a small area whose edges are delineated by a dark, foglike substance much like that of SCP-3000-1. The floor of the illuminated area is seen covered in a layer of an unidentified organic substance, maroon in colour. Walking about, JD-1 begins to narrate what she sees as per her instructions. The video feed reveals random dismembered human body parts and bones littering the floor, as well as the occasional body. A total of seventeen (17) such bodies are identified, all infantile and in varying stages of decomposition. Examples include skeletal remains, necrotic tissue, rotting flesh, desiccated remains, [REDACTED] and relatively unscathed bodies. Some corpses display signs of cannibalization. JD-1: Doctor… I hear something.

Dr. Sundström: What is it, JD-1? Before JD-1 manages to reply, the feed shows it approached by a large number of minors of various ages. Many appear dirty, fatigued and malnourished, and several display physical signs of insomnia. A short conversation ensues between JD-1 and a boy appearing to be in his upper teens. Boy: You're new here, right? What… How are you doing that with your head? That lamp thing.

JD-1: I dunno. I've always had it. Why, can't you do it?

Boy: Umm… no?

JD-1: Oh, okay. My name is Jade, by the way. Hi! JD-1 extends her hand in greeting.

Boy: Um, hi. I'm er… my name is Nils.

JD-1: Nice to meet you, Nils!

Dr. Sundström: JD! Ask him how long they've been there!

JD-1: Erm…Nils? How long have you been here? All of you, I mean.

Nils: Call me Nisse. And uhm… I don't know really. It's hard to tell: there are no clocks or windows here. There wasn't even any light until you showed up with your uh… lamp. But uhm… we've been here for really long. Some of us have been here longer than others. Don't know how for long, but it's been long. That's all we know.

JD-1: Oh, okay. I'm sorry to hear that. But I know a guy, he's great! And he's coming to get us, right now!

Nils: What, really? That's cool! But how do you kno- The conversation is abruptly cut off by the scream of a young girl. The video feed quickly focuses on the source of the noise, showing a prepubescent girl kicking and flailing while being dragged along the floor by an unseen force, seemingly pulled from below towards the ground. JD-1 and the group scramble after the child at running speed, making several unsuccessful attempts at pulling her back, until reaching a wall about one (1) minute later. At this point, a shadowy spot is visible on the ground, moving onto the wall and revealing itself to be SCP-3000-2. The shadow moves up along the wall, pulling the girl with it until it is beyond the reach of the group. The shadow then appears to remove its "trousers and underwear", displaying human male physiology. SCP-3000-2 then proceeds to rape the girl by [DATA EXPUNGED], interacting with the girl's shadow. The scene continues for roughly thirty-five (35) minutes, whereafter SCP-3000-2 drops the girl to the floor and attempts to repeat the process with JD-1. The attempt fails due to JD-1 artificial nature, who seems to [REDACTED]. JD-1 then reports physical strain as SCP-3000-2 attempts to dismember it by pulling at its limbs. When this fails , JD-1 is observed to be hurled back towards the centre of the room. JD-1 is crying and reports severe pain. Dr. Sundström then orders technicians to disable her pain receptors remotely. The crying continues, but JD-1 reports no further pain from this point on. SCP-3000-2 eventually tires of this activity and retreats. It is unknown where it goes during these times. JD-1, being stranded within SCP-3000-3, integrates with the local group of marooned children. They are observed subsisting on drinking water dripping various points in the sealing and occasionally cannibalizing the various corpses littering the space. Social cohesion is noticeably strong in this group, despite their poor physical and mental condition. SCP-3000-2 continues to periodically rape and abuse the children within SCP-3000-3 in various ways, including: [DATA EXPUNGED]. It appears to become increasingly agitated and aggressive over time, speculated to be a result of the sudden stop in the influx of more children due to successful containment by the Foundation, coupled with the diminishing number of live children due to death. Following Neutralization Procedure 3000-2, SCP-3000-2 is noted to become noticeably frustrated and exceedingly violent, developing a habit of subjecting JD-1 to extended sessions of physical violence. The last child perishes in ██/██/1984 and no new children are reported appearing within SCP-3000-3. NP-3000-2 is thus considered successful. JD-1 is kept online for an additional eight (8) years for observation purposes, as it is feared that SCP-3000-1 may simply move to another location. During this time, JD-1 is subjected to recurring sessions of violence along with attempted rape and torture, including [DATA EXPUNGED]. JD-1 is able to subsist by generating energy converted from water and biomatter ingested within SCP-3000-3. Its mental health is purportedly (according to JD-1 itself) maintained by constant contact with Foundation staff. Due to the lack of new arrivals, JD-1 is deactivated on ██/██/1992 and officially retired from service the following year. SCP-3000 is then officially declared neutralized. Afterword

This document will do just as well without the lurid descriptions of rape and torture, thank you very much! It is already bad enough as it is. I still would like to call to attention the moral travesty of this entire "expedition", which will likely go down as the longest in Foundation history. JD-1 was kept alive in that space for over ten long, ███████ years, despite numerous complaints by both myself and the rest of the staff. On paper, JD-1 might have been a robot, but to all of us who actually had the opportunity to work with her, it was painfully apparent that she was just a little girl. Say what you will about Prometheus Labs, but they know how to make an android seem, or be, just as authentic as the real deal. Jade was a sentient, sapient being, a girl, who was left alive for over ten years in a confined space together with that sick ████. Take some time to think about that. If you're still in doubt, the video logs of her stay here at Site-██ should convince you otherwise. What we did was inhuman. It was torture. And it's a fate I wouldn't even wish upon my worst enemy. Whoever thought it was a good idea to keep that girl alive under those conditions for so long, just so she could "observe any potential changes", was a heartless ███████ ███████, and I sincerely hope they get [REDACTED] for this.

Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: Site-XX has been constructed around SCP-XXXX-1, with a 2 metre tall barbed wire fence erected around the perimeter, bearing signage that marks it as a restricted area belonging to the Greek government. Wireless surveillance cameras have been installed at regular intervals along this fence. The remoteness, terrain and lack of development of the region are considered sufficient enough not to warrant any further security procedures against potential civilian trespassers. The local security staff at Site-XX is authorized to deal with non-civilian interlopers as it sees fit, within overall Foundation guidelines. MTF Sigma-3 "Bibliographers" is tasked with retrieving information pertaining to SCP-XXXX from

the ████████ █████, along with any and all data on anomalous objects and entities previously contained or intended to be contained within SCP-XXXX-1. Sigma-3 is also to actively search for any potential information on additional SCP-XXXX facilities and associated people and anomalies. Containment procedures for SCP objects and entities contained within SCP-XXXX-1 are detailed in their individual files. For further information on objects and entities contained within SCP-XXXX-1, please consult their respective articles; these can be found on the following list: + List of SCP objects contained within SCP-XXXX - Close list Description: SCP-XXXX designates the historical group identified as "The Penitent Order of the Hopeful Mother": a monastic order believed to have been active between 331 BC and 1922 AD, primarily in the Hellenic world and the civilizations influenced by it. The peak of the order's extent, activity and membership has been placed around 1520-1580 AD, with a slow but steady decline traceable from the 1670s onward. The last recorded member of SCP-XXXX, one Aléxandros Theodorídis, reportedly perished during the Great Fire of Smyrna in 1922. There has been no recorded activity related to SCP-XXXX since this year. SCP-XXXX is known mainly from SCP-XXXX-1, an ancient monastery located high in the Pindus Mountains in the province of Epirus, Greece, which constitutes the only extant remains of SCP-XXXX known to modern civilization. SCP-XXXX-1 has been dated to 1614, built in the contemporaneous regional style of other Greek Catholic churches. The church's undercroft contains a hidden passage to a tunnel leading to a wider subterranean space located approximately 130 m beneath the monastery proper. Said space is divided into 37 chambers (collectively designated SCP-XXXX-1A), 2 stairwells and 4 corridors, divided between four levels (named A, B, C and D), all in all covering 400 x 50 x 20 m. A scenic view of the church of SCP-XXXX-1, also known as the Monastery of Our Repenting Mother of Kythera, located high in the Pindus Mountains of northern Greece. Of the subterranean chambers of SCP-XXXX-1, 13 were found to contain an anomalous object upon discovery. Said objects were found contained by a variety of both physical and anomalous means. The location of the missing objects is currently unknown. Chambers in levels B, C and D seem to be designed with individually separate and unique containment methods in mind, with the complexity increasing with each lower level. Level D exclusively contains chambers exhibiting anomalous properties. The anomalous properties of each chamber is detailed on tablets mounted into the walls, located beside each chamber door, written in an extinct Hellenic language . Documents retrieved from SCP-XXXX-1, written in a variety of languages, mostly detail the histories, properties and containment protocols of the objects contained or meant to be contained in SCP-XXXX-1A. A smaller but significant portion of the documents comprise letters and literature composed for the outside world, many dated to before the construction of the monastery and several of which are signed by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa . The letters identify him and several prominent figures in European and Mediterranean history as members or associates of the order. Thanks to its extensive network of contacts and associates, SCP-XXXX appears to have been remarkably successful during its heyday. Archival records and various letters attest up to 1436 different objects collected, contained and catalogued by SCP-XXXX, held at a large number of different monasteries spread across the Hellenic world. Letters and diaries reveal several of its members being part of the wider anomalous community of their times, and several recurring mentions are made of the ████████ █████ and its collected writings at various points in time. Said members actively employed their anomalous abilities and expertise in devising containment procedures for the objects and entities acquired by SCP-XXXX. The decline of SCP-XXXX appears to have intensified during the 19th century primarily due to the wave of conflicts that erupted in the Ottoman provinces and wider Balkan region as a result of the contemporary romantic nationalist movement, with documents describing repression by Ottoman authorities, looting by foreign armies and collateral damage from the various wars. Another major contributor to its decline seems to have been objects lost in an increasing number of burglaries, suspected to have been orchestrated by rival anomalous groups. Some of the objects mentioned lost in such a manner have been confirmed in Foundation custody, recovered from various Groups of Interest; these objects include, among others: SCP-███, SCP-████ and SCP-████. Though many more are remain unaccounted for.

Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures: Description:

Item #: SCP-XXXX Object Class: Euclid Special Containment Procedures:

Item #: SCP-████ Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: Objects are to be kept in Secure Storage Locker IL20083A-C within the Safe Objects Containment wing of Site-███. Specimens of the object may be retrieved for research purposes by submitting a formal request to the Site Director. Media items concerning the village of Aggtelek, Hungary are to be monitored for possible mentions of and references to SCP-████. At least one Foundation agent is to be permanently based in Aggtelek and socially active in the local community, in order to detect new instances of SCP-████-1B. Description: SCP-████ refers to a rare crystalline mineral with benign cognitohazardous properties occurring within the far reaches of the Barabla-Dolmica cave system near the village of Aggtelek, Hungary. The native form of the object is that of a mildly fluorescent (similarly to quinine) crystal formation, designated SCP-████-1A, and is usually found growing in concave corners of the cave system. Extracted mineral specimens are designated as SCP-████-1B for containment purposes. Said properties also manifest in artificial objects whose content is comprised of at least 10% of SCP-████; these objects are collectively designated SCP-████-2. The primary anomaly of SCP-████ is defined as a visual cognitohazard, triggering only through direct observation of an instance SCP-████-1 beside a conscious person making a counterfactual statement within the perceiving subjects hearing range, or by looking at such through an instance of SCP-████-B. SCP-████ will then invariably project an almost identical field of view onto the perceiver's mind, termed SCP-████-3, with the effect having been compared to the split screen function of two-player video games. SCP-████-3 is almost always accompanied by an auditory hallucination of the perceived subject's voice, and shows the perceived subject making a factual statement. In effect, SCP-████ functions as a form of cognitohazardous lie detector. Locals refer to the substance as ástárcs .
