7Special Containment Procedures: All literature regarding SCP-4956 is to be reported to O5 Command; Foundation media personnel must report all instances of SCP-4956 literature, with subject's name redacted, to psychological evaluation specialist Dr. Jill Kim for evaluation.
8
9Description: SCP-4956 consists of handwritten handwritten notes and messages (SCP-4956-1) at the bottom of printed pages (SCP-4956-2) at various times from a wide variety of authors. SCP-4956-1 has varied from book to book, but the general themes are social commentary of various societal ills and the denigration of various individuals. Subjects with knowledge of the nature of SCP-4956 have asserted it is a kind of anti-advice book, not unlike the anti-advice books of 1974-1976.
10
11SCP-4956-2 has an additional and unknown aspect to it, and can be activated and deactivated as many times as the subject wishes. See Addendum 4956-A for more information.
12
13One of the main concepts outlined in SCP-4956-2 is the idea of responsibility. In theory, these notes can be brought up by any member of a specific class; however, as of ██/██/████, this has proven impossible due to the fact that the different classes of affected individuals do not have a consistent ability to find each other and therefore, cannot interact with each other. Testing of SCP-4956-2 is currently halted pending a new test to be performed.
14
15All educated comments made in SCP-4956 are akin to social commentary as opposed to instruction or advice, as they are often aimed towards avoiding negative situations. They are often intended to talk about an instance of the social problem being discussed, or the events surrounding that social problem. The examples are taken from actual writings about their subject.
16
17Dr. Kim has been instructed to attend social clubs and events at the discretion of the O5 Command staff. Please see Addendum 4956-B for details.

19Addendum 4956-A: Instances of SCP-4956-1.
20
21+ Reclassified Addendum 4956-A - Reclassified Addendum 4956-A Instances of SCP-4956-1 are instances of books or articles that claim to be the "Sensational Guide to Being Successful at Everything," by Michael Hill. With the exception of a very thin overlay of Michael Hill's likeness, the notes and pages contain no visible author, page number, or language. The lines between panels are blank, even appearing to be a full page of writing.
22
23Close [Show notes] Test #: 4956-A1 Subject: D-10188, D-Class Personnel with no special clearance. Method of Delivery: According to Dr. Kim, SCP-4956-1 was delivered to D-10188 in a plain book from her desk and was opened without evident means of delivering it to its intended recipient. Results: Initial observation of SCP-4956-1 exhibits no anomalies beyond the appearance of Michael Hill's drawings. However, when the tape is removed from the end of the book, Michael Hill's drawn face appears with what appears to be the "question mark" opening of the book. Results: Most of the attention of the subjects as of test number 4956-A2 was focused on the noted-title on the book. When asked, each subject claimed the book was no different from the regular version of the book.
24
25Close [Show notes] Test #: 4956-A2 Subject: D-31180, volunteer in the Foundation Spatial Perception Clinic. Method of Delivery: According to Dr. Kim, SCP-4956-1 was delivered to D-31180 in an unmarked box by telephone on ██/██/████, with no markings on the outside of the box. Upon arrival at the Spatial Perception Clinic, D-31180's presentation card showed a picture of Michael Hill and the card identified him as a "Dr. Michael H. Hill." Results: Effects of SCP-4956-1 from its first delivery indicated that D-31180's eyes immediately closed and he appeared to be struck with a strange and negative emotion, as he swore non-stop and spoke in a monotone voice, as if he were an inmate of the Spatial Perception Clinic. Results: Containment procedures expanded and all attempts to find SCP-4956-1 fulfilled. The Foundation's Spatial Perception Clinic and its visits were immediately sealed off. No further transmissions relating to SCP-4956-1 was made until the accident of ██/██/████, after which it was discovered that D-31180 had come from a home in East Texas. D-31180 was administered amnestics and has not exhibited any anomalous properties since.

33Special Containment Procedures: Following the containment of the preceding Incident, Incident 2623-08-█, we have seen the growth of new SCP-4956 instances since then. The copy of the reported layout of Site-33 has been set aside for long-term storage. The following measures have been taken to ensure that none of the subsequent dormant instances will be seen or encountered at Site-33:
34
35SCP-4956 instances created inside of Level 3 containment areas (see Incident Notes and Incident Report: Event-4956-03) will be observed and appropriately contained in Site-33. Occasionally, an affected containment level may be uncharacteristically open, allowing the SCP-4956 instance into its containment space. Only Level 4 personnel may enter these containment areas.
36
37Nearby Foundation personnel who are chosen for the task of providing cleaning and other cleanup services within Level 4 containment areas have been trained to ensure that any anomalous effects they experience are contained within those areas.
38
39Level 3 personnel assigned to Site-33's Pillars of Safety have been taught to use steam-cleaning devices in order to remove the persistent SCP-4956 instances. Any anomalous heat emitted by the hot plumes caused by steam, reported at least once per year, must be logged and inspected. Following the reported wave of heat during Incident 2623-08-█, full containment of the ensuing plumes has been enacted.
40
41The Foundation's knowledge of SCP-4956 has been expanded to cover areas of service and mechanical maintenance such as chemical and other mechanized trades. The Foundation is committed to keeping SCP-4956-J isolated within areas where it is not technically possible for it to have been removed from.

46
47Special Containment Procedures: Thaumaturgic scans are to be used as a primary method of containment of instances of SCP-4956-A and SCP-4956-B.
48
49Any attempts to interact with the object or conduct research on it through "non-disclosure" agreements are to be promptly suppressed.
50
51When a humanoid begins to manifest a separate face corresponding to its last recorded appearance on Earth, an appropriate psychological assessment must be performed in order to determine if the SCP-4956 instance has been psychologically and psychically exploited. Confessionals and confessions are only to be conducted after full psychological testing has been performed to determine if no vulnerability is present.
52
53Description: SCP-4956 is a superstitious symbol commonly used in modern culture as a symbol of negative superstition. The word "stigmatism" is taken from the Latin word "stigmato," meaning "tag", a protection device or sign or warning sign. In folklore, superstition is defined as "fear of events and things not familiar to a healthy mind."
54
55The iconographic appearance of SCP-4956 is that of a five-pointed star which is made of colored glass or acrylic. The "inner, visual shape" of SCP-4956 is a combination of an oval and a circle. The inner shape is circular when seen through an optical slit, but otherwise forms a disc shape to anyone observing SCP-4956 through their own optics.
56
57SCP-4956 appears to appear and disappear at will. The frequency at which instances of SCP-4956 appear and disappear is expected to vary with the circadian patterns of the specific individual. The way SCP-4956 appears can appear either somewhat normal or as out of nowhere. During non-natural appearances, as in testing, an SCP-4956 instance will emerge from an opening typically through the mouth or nose of a creature. Humans observing these non-natural appearances will disappear with the SCP-4956 instance.
58
59An instance of SCP-4956 will display several fears based on its memory of its last appearance on Earth. While seemingly irrational to the observer, these fears are usually not in opposition to one another, as shown through their selection of target individuals or groups of individuals.
60
61Presence of large, hulking humanoid monsters are considered a typical feature of the fear induced by SCP-4956. While there are no reported instances of SCP-4956 appearing in humanoid form, they are usually referred to as "(unfavourable human groupings)". However, the fear that SCP-4956 induces and the eventual motivation behind the (unfavourable) actions that it elicits is unpredictable.
62
63It has been proposed that SCP-4956 may in fact be an evolutionary and malleable memetic hazard originating in consciousness from the Infante of Rome, Pius II. The potential physiological and mental effects of exposure to SCP-4956 are unknown, and the cause of the prolonged seizure, panglossia, and black out experienced by some individuals following the initial manifestation of SCP-4956 is unknown.

69Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in a locked plastic safe at all times in the ████████ ███████ DROID (R8V).
70
71Description: SCP-4956 is a HTC Desire XT Android smartphone. The back of the phone has four four plastic buttons, separated by small gaps. However, the latter two buttons do not function. The keyboard on the bottom has three sets of keys, separated by small black keys. The top button is blank.
72
73To make matters worse, when the phone is in use, the buttons turn into blank rubberized rubber coverings, which cannot be removed, even when pressed using the tip of a fingernail. This damage goes unreported, because the rubberized buttons apparently have an extremely painful sting.
74
75SCP-4956 will not work with third party ROMs or apps. If a user tries to insert a blank SD card containing an incompatible ROM, the machine will reboot and initiate a full system wipe.
76
77When attempting to charge SCP-4956 with any connected charger, the battery will only discharge 600mA, which is sufficient to run the phone for up to 5 minutes.
78
79SCP-4956 has been known to malfunction to the point of malfunctioning, such as not activating the microphone when call audio is being recorded or not snapping to black after an app ends. The host phone is to be checked for mydriode upon failure.
80
81Description: SCP-4956 is compatible with all necessary wireless devices (i.e. SIM cards, chargers and cables), as well as a working Wifi router, but its current GPS functionality is incomplete. Until GPS performance is completed, SCP-4956 is to be equipped with an OBS Studio module. These modules will be used to navigate SCP-4956 and show the desired location.
82
83Apparently, this location technology is functional and permits any spoken radio signal in the network to be relayed to an additional set of "neighbors" located on SCP-4956's home dimension (though these can't be observed using facial recognition software). However, the number of neighbors cannot be determined. The Foundation has requested assistance in collecting these "neighbors" and confirming their existence.
84
85Addendum 4956-a: On ██/██/2015, after locating an unidentified object on SCP-4956's home dimension, the phone began showing the mysterious symbol. SCP-4956's memory had been found to have been completely wiped clean and thus, a write-only OS was used. Thus, the object remained in a stationary position on SCP-4956's home dimension. However, despite the lack of memory, the object was still able to draw, engrave, cut and imprint a blank card containing many pictures, some with handwritten graffiti. The object showed signs of being in possession of an individual. Four of these objects were ultimately tracked down and returned to the Foundation.
86
87SCP-4956 has been known to be in non-operational condition for 7 years, though the walls of its home dimension seem to have become, to some degree, transparent.
88
89Addendum 4956-b: On ██/██/2016, after making a call for approximately 1 minute using SCP-4956, the phone showed another mysterious symbol in the background. The entire interview was terminated after it became apparent that no translation software or human intervention would be possible.
90
91Addendum 4956-c: This interview was sent to SCP-1739. Following completion, further testing took place in order to confirm whether the other objects found on SCP-4956's home dimension were actually brought over by the phone.

103Special Containment Procedures: The containment chamber in which SCP-4956 resides should not be entered for human observation. Studies show the affected personnel to have severe memory loss resulting from memetic assault, and with many infrequent incidents of transient memetic infection resulting from the experimental use of the SCP-4956 contact lenses. These lenses are to be kept off at all times, or if exposed to bright light, should be avoided for a period of 24 hours.
104
105Anyone viewed inside of the current containment chamber who does not wear the contact lenses of SCP-4956-A is to be medically investigated. Exposure to SCP-4956-A is permitted with permission. Attempts to alter the effect of SCP-4956-A are to be prevented.
106
107Description: SCP-4956 is a personification of a discontinued implant device made by Creative Systems, Inc. that caused the wearer to experience a female voice, dubbed SCP-4956-A, throughout the day. Its effectiveness varied, with some individuals perceiving the voice as anything but feminine. Individuals suffering from mild memetic contamination by SCP-4956-A were able to maintain this effect for weeks after wearing SCP-4956-A for the sole purpose of communication.
108
109Cases of memetic exposure to SCP-4956-A resulted in changes of both the speaker's emotions and personality. Those affected were able to change the way they perceived their behaviors to reflect the masculine gender. This alteration has allowed said individuals to experience mixed emotions and character traits and to act in ways inconsistent with their gender identity. Affected individuals were also capable of using the male pronouns such as "him", "himself", "Mr Smith", and "Ian". Though symptoms of male/female identity confusion tended to last the longer, all confirmed subjects of SCP-4956-A have expressed regret for having been rendered gender-fluid. One affected individual, born female, expressed such regret that they were willing to undergo surgery to transition to male as a means of fully severing their association with SCP-4956.
110
111All subjects treated with SCP-4956-A for more than 5 hours within 5 minutes of exposure lost their ability to perceive the subject's voice as feminine. Affected subjects did not know why this was the case, although SCP-4956-A was completely their responsibility, and SCP-4956-A was able to interact with subjects. Instances of male-voiced individuals afflicted with SCP-4956-A displayed traits similar to a female, including emotional depth, precision, and a more passionate sense of humor. Affected subjects also expressed a greater tendency to be in pain, manifested in the form of extreme exhaustion, physical pain, or mental distress. Affected subjects were more than willing to do things to alleviate their pain. One affected subject, a divorced father, killed their daughter's best friend for medical insurance money, as well as for the brief enjoyment of the event. Following the event, affected subjects removed all traces of their wife's name from their phone and social media accounts.
112
113There is currently no method for removing the effect of SCP-4956-A, and further efforts to begin implementing a cure for SCP-4956-A will not progress until it is proven to no longer be necessary.<|endoftext|>Commissioner Kuroda’s sentencing comes amid a government crackdown on mislabelling of food, and other consumer rights issues.

135Special Containment Procedures: The region designated SCP-4956-A, located northwest of █████████ and southwest of [REDACTED], has been classified as Area-██. D-Class personnel are to be kept within Site-██'s perimeter at all times. Observation Apparatus 82-10 is to be launched from SCP-4956 every day at approximately 11:00 a.m. Observation Apparatus 82-10 will visually scan the surrounding area with a ██████-class camera. It will report the following data to Site-██'s front office upon completion of each mission: the location of any enemies, sites, or escape routes present within SCP-4956-A; confirmed presence of any unforeseen terrain into SCP-4956-A; the location and movement of any unidentified unidentified objects, and their provenance; and the number of times SCP-4956 has collapsed.
136
137Interrogation of any persons on the front desk of SCP-4956 is prohibited until the affected region has collapsed. Any D-Class personnel that should attempt to escape Area-██ will be immediately intercepted and detained for further study.
138
139Description: SCP-4956 is a large SCP-class anomaly located northwest of █████████ and southwest of [REDACTED], completely covering an area of approximately 20 km by 15 km. The geology of SCP-4956 bears a strong resemblance to volcanic activity in Portugal, with areas of subsidence measuring approximately 6 cm by 1.8 cm in a radius of 100 km. Tectonic plates of Earth's crust propagate through the region, and a great cluster of active volcanoes is located on the seafloor beneath the region.
140
141SCP-4956-A is a territorial limit of SCP-4956 marked by the crust formation visible beneath SCP-4956. Tectonic plates in SCP-4956 travel in the direction of the Rukbegeima Island Group. Though the probable origin of SCP-4956's geology is on the seafloor, geological survey of the area suggests that the relative ages of the plates running parallel to each other are rather different. Since its formation, SCP-4956-A has consistently collapsed and reformed into the region it occupies.
142
143The collapse of SCP-4956-A occurs in two stages, a first of which began on ██/██/13. Approximately 6,000 days have passed since these first collapses have occurred, and an area of approximately 30 km by 12 km has completely collapsed.

148
149Figure - SCP-4956-3 [DATA EXPUNGED]. Visual confirmation is currently unavailable.
150
151After the first collapse, the exposed exposed area has been subjected to a series of earthquakes at an average frequency of 13.75 m/s, with similar magnitude ranging from 1.5 to 3.75 on the Richter scale. The most recent collapses occurred on 7/24/2014, during which 7 small earthquakes affected the area. Instances of SCP-4956-A destabilization do not appear to have included any visible mass displacement, and the earthquakes that occurred in 18██, 1824, 2009, 1942, and 2016 have occurred at almost the same location relative to SCP-4956-A.
152
153The collapse of SCP-4956 has almost always taken the form of a chain reaction, one of which is expected to trigger the second stage of SCP-4956's collapse. SCP-4956-1 has been seen to evolve into a larger region of subsidence, SCP-4956-2 will continue to collapse into a larger part of the region, and the remainder of SCP-4956-A will deform into a region of shallow subsidence.
154
155Use of seismic and radiological assets is unnecessary, as no apparent seismic or visible mass displacement is present within SCP-4956-A. Numeric data analysis shows a slight discrepancy in the existence of SCP-4956-A relative to its proper size, which is likely the result of continuous Debris Following Sequence 0 (DDS-0) being significantly fatter than apparent SCP-4956-A. An accurate measurement of SCP-4956-A's true size would require an inspection on an annual basis.
156
157If SCP-4956 were to collapse into its original environment, the fate of life as we know it is unknown. Fortunately, SCP-4956's destruction is not expected to occur for about ██ years.

167Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in its living containment cell at Site ██. SCP-4956's conditions are to be monitored daily by testing, Class-A Amnestics, regular maintenance and analysis by pathologists. Full body stimuli are to be delivered twice a week. SCP-4956 is to be fed on a diet consisting of 3-4 quarts of red sugar and excessive amounts of pink food coloring. Follows are permitted once a week, and only on an experimental or security level. Field interview is to be carried out once a week, and only if subjects are being exploited or compromised in any way. The diets are prescribed for captive mice and a dairy ration is required to be bought from local shop for SCP-4956.

171Description: SCP-4956 is a chinchilla, born in 1957 and confirmed as SCP-4956-2 on 3-25-1937. SCP-4956-2 is a fat, large and misshapen white chinchilla that will often become agitated if subjected to stimuli, typically starting with chewing, licking and biting. Occasionally SCP-4956-2 will erupt and attack the handler, which will be life-threatening. Previous attempts at confining SCP-4956-2 have resulted in failure, for example, bringing SCP-4956-2 to bed, stuffing it in the bell jar and placing it under a new sole on the keeper's hand.
172
173SCP-4956 is the progeny of SCP-4956-1 and SCP-4956-2 and is still nursed by SCP-4956-1. SCP-4956-1 has a permanent smile on his muzzle, while SCP-4956-2 does not smile. SCP-4956-1 showed no interest in SCP-4956-2 prior to inception and displays symptoms of hypothyroidism. SCP-4956-2 had never experienced affection before his mutation, and was never aggressive to humans, however SCP-4956-2 still exhibits a strange desire to be held or caressed by SCP-4956-1. Subjects who possess them routinely fall asleep.
174
175Events considered to be dangerous or deadly are to be intercepted immediately and prevented immediately by local security personnel. Currently, █ days remain until SCP-4956 is considered to have reached full sapience.
176
177See Addendum 4956-04
178
179Description: SCP-4956's personality varies based on the source of its life experience. For instance, SCP-4956-1 is a dominant and aggressive male chinchilla which exhibits dominant male behavior and takes interest in female SCP-4956-2.
180
181During most days, it does not react significantly to stimuli and often responds to threats of aggression with one or more spurts of sudden aggression. On 8-28-1907, SCP-4956 was observed to chase an elder juvenile chinchilla through the laboratory, while SCP-4956-1 strangled the other chinchilla within its grasp. Subjects attacked by SCP-4956-1 often report subject behaving aggressively and testing is suspended until SCP-4956-1 is released without incident.
182
183Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in its living chamber at Site ██ under constant guard and at least three students of the International University of Chinchilla Nutrition and Nutritional Studies are to serve as impostors, believing that SCP-4956 is they. All testing of SCP-4956 is to be conducted in a bare fenced, glass cage. All attempts to fully understand SCP-4956's identity and genotype are to be paused immediately.
184
185Researcher Burch on 5-26-19██ attempted to expose SCP-4956 to stimuli after several weeks of a regular diet, but it manifested on 9-16-19██ while it slept. At that time, two SCP-4956-1 were sent into the chamber to take SCP-4956 to bed. SCP-4956-1 died shortly after the doors were opened and later that day SCP-4956-1 began waking up every day in an attempt to attack the researchers. SCP-4956-1's irritation is sufficiently bad that D-████ sent in as a replacement was killed on the spot by SCP-4956-1. (See Addendum 4956-04)

201Description: SCP-4956 is a male humanoid animated form, currently estimated to be about 7 years old. SCP-4956 possesses an amalgamation of ███ substances stitched together into body parts, including various neural, organic, and exo-skeletal tissues, tissue with biological properties from █████, and ███████ brand sunglasses. SCP-4956 is able to move, shout, and communicate through vocalizations, both in English and Mandarin. SCP-4956 will disguise itself as the next person in line during visits to the ███████ sunglasses store. SCP-4956 will occasionally perform mundane behaviors, such as leafing through magazines and books; however, it will also display skills at stereotypic Japanese kabuki play material (anime and video games in particular). SCP-4956 appears to prefer anime and videogames, but will also attend other popular entertainment venues as well. It appears to have a constant aversion to black-and-white movies.
202
203During active periods of SCP-4956's activity, it enters a state of comatose deep sleep as its body burns to giblets. This sleep cycle lasts for approximately 48 hours. Upon waking, SCP-4956 will proceed to change its appearance by stripping down to its skeleton, stuffing itself as full as possible into its noggin, and applying ███ materials to form numerous, ornate tattoos across its body.
204
205SCP-4956's effects worsen as the number of SCP-4956-1 instances added increases. The process is as follows: an instance of SCP-4956-1 is selected from the museum gallery, and taken to the observation window. SCP-4956-1 will observe SCP-4956 for approximately 20 seconds before proceeding to change into itself and proceed to change itself into the next SCP-4956-1 instance. Each time SCP-4956-1 transforms, additional SCP-4956-1 instances are added to the scene. Multiple instances of SCP-4956-1 will be added to the scene at the same time, and this will continue until SCP-4956-1 appears to have been fully assimilated into the surrounding scene. SCP-4956 will revert to its previous form by destroying all of the existing SCP-4956-1 instances as well as the theater, the nearest hospital, or another suitable target.

207Addendum 4956-A: Sound Logs Recorded by Site-13 Security
208
209Following the event which caused the temporary cessation of field surveillance, Level 4 Foundation personnel are designated to listen in on and record any possible SCP-4956-1 cases. Records are to be gathered and documented for one month starting immediately after the accident, along with a record of each detection to date. As of yet, all relevant and reliable audio evidence has been recovered from other sources.

212
213The currency had recovered to $1,180.07 earlier today, hours after Bitcoin broke through the $1,200 barrier for the first time.
214
215The currency’s price surge in the last 24 hours has been staggering. Since yesterday’s closing level of $1,148.81, the currency has risen over 45 percent.
216
217Speculation over bitcoin’s true worth has been rampant in recent weeks after a number of key events appear to indicate that the digital currency is in its final stages of development.
218
219Increased interest in the currency among retail investors – which began a month ago – is usually the precursor to a price surge. The price has dropped by 15 percent since the start of the year, before surging again to the highs seen this week.

223Item #: SCP-4956
224
225Object Class: Euclid
226
227Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained at Site-142 in an unknown standard cargo shipping container. Any and all attempted or successful attempts to exit the cargo container by personnel leaving the command center or personnel selected by this team will be regarded as a nuclear false alarm, and a team of Site-142 psychological support personnel are to be rendered inoperable. If accidental activation of SCP-4956 results in damage to Foundation property or personnel, Mobile Task Force Omega-14 ("Three-face") is to be dispatched to determine the cause.
228
229In the event of containment breach by SCP-4956 itself, Emergency Containment Protocol Delta-Trex is to be enacted. Once SCP-4956 has been contained, researchers and Foundation personnel are to be allowed to leave the vicinity of Site-142 and consume up to 10,000 kg of special ground-temperature truffle crisps through the entrance to the cargo container. Personnel must consume within 30 minutes or lose all functionality.
230
231Description: SCP-4956 is a sphere of dark red-purple ice approximately 1 meter in radius. The inside of the sphere is glassy gray with several black streaks through it. The interior space is completely dry and invisible to the naked eye. The walls of the container are made out of fluorescent blue glass with various markings and symbols similar to the CSS font. If a sample of truffle brittle amber is placed inside the container, the exterior will begin to show the sign of thermal expansion. When cold enough to protect the amber from external temperature changes, the sign will disappear. Any part of the container that has been removed will remain in the original condition until the container is reloaded with newly extracted material. SCP-4956 is an artificial lifeform as defined by SCP-████, and will actively attempt to reproduce.
232
233SCP-4956 is capable of enlarging its interior space by a factor of 20 times if it is placed on hard surfaces such as concrete or wooden floors. The space occupied by SCP-4956 consists of a series of small tunnels of nearly a meter in length, etched with designs consistent with those found on packaging of ingredients and shipping containers. The tunnels display a technique of establishing a magnetic resonance signal for a short period of time. When activated, it will only activate in cases where it has been placed inside a hard surface.
234
235SCP-4956 is incapable of being successfully removed from the container. Attempts to empty the container on a regular interval resulting in the same result have failed. Attempts by SCP-4956 to reproduce have only succeeded when its container has been successfully removed from the container and eaten before it was able to reproduce. To date, no humans have proven resistant to the effects of SCP-4956.
236
237Addendum: On 26/12/14, communication with SCP-4956 ceased once it reached the internal temperature maximum. A packet of standard sweet truffle brittle amber cookies was loaded into the container and SCP-4956 was rendered inoperable. Containment procedures are to be similar to the previous containment protocols.<|endoftext|>Uruguay signed a record contract agreement yesterday with FIFA, the global soccer body, to become the first country to construct a stadium entirely of its own materials. The fan-friendly Craven Cottage, which will become Arsenal’s home ground next season, will contain no structural steel and will be totally built using Uruguayan materials and labor.
238
239The world has become so obsessed with the economical impact of 3D printing that now it is commonplace for even the most economical looking sports stadiums to be built entirely out of concrete and metal. However, the use of local materials has always been a difficult step to take.
240
241The Uruguayan government, however, decided to overcome the problem with a bold stroke. They paid for the construction of a 41,000-square-meter stadium entirely out of their own money and then hired only Uruguayan workers to build it. According to the FIFA deal, the government will pay for the first 3D printing of the stadium from their own funds up to the value of the master plans, followed by the 2nd stage through the end of the concession period. Upon completion of stage 2, which will be at the end of 2018-2019, they will have paid for it themselves. The building will cost about $18 million.
242
243This initiative by the Uruguayan government has met with positive responses from the international soccer community, and FIFA, who is eager to see the Uruguayan government’s ability to respond to the challenges of a worldwide economy. The Craven Cottage stadium, which is expected to play host to Arsenal’s first Premier League match in the year 2017-2018, is also being watched closely by Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Manchester United. Liverpool, however, is reportedly looking at getting a new stadium built in the distant future.

248
249Object Class: Euclid
250
251Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 are to be kept at Site 67.
252
253Description: SCP-4956 refers to a species of large, predatory, canine carnivore resembling a caveman with modern, limbless physical features. Instances of SCP-4956 are only distinguishable by the suffix "-oni" (henceforth -oni) appearing after the name.
254
255SCP-4956 are able to detect a single human individual by habituation. SCP-4956 prefer to operate in the underground regions of areas they frequent, but have been known to probe aboveground locations. Research into its method of detection is underway.
256
257Foundation personnel have found that SCP-4956 require a free and regularly supplied source of food. SCP-4956 have only been known to kill children on rare occasions. Instances of SCP-4956 have been noted to be able to recognize the physical features of an individual using their physical characteristics alone. They have also been seen to move to another area at a set time without the presence of any food to examine the surroundings of their intended target.
258
259To date, all recorded instances of SCP-4956 have been killed before attempting to pursue subjects. During tests, researchers have found that SCP-4956 will only attack a sleeping target if they are no longer facing towards one another, despite vocal complaints and aggressive behavior from the other individual. Their stomachs have been observed to contain a variety of creatures classified as SCP-4956-1.
260
261It has been discovered that all instances of SCP-4956 can metabolize crude oil obtained from the ground as food. As such, oil spills of various sizes will occur on the ground of ground areas where SCP-4956 were recorded to live. SCP-4956 often vomit in order to clear out areas where the spill has occurred. If instances of SCP-4956 appear to have been affected by a spill from the ground, they will attempt to consume the oil.
262
263Addendum 4956-2: Testing with D-Class personnel has shown that SCP-4956 will attempt to engage individuals where they were least prepared for attack. The results vary depending on the individual treated.
264
265D-1: D-1 entered an elevator and was observed to be unaware of anything around her. D-1 was shown a tall barrel containing crude oil and a flame, both of which were set on fire. D-1 allowed the barrel to enter her chamber before shouting for help. Within a short period of time, D-1 was shown to have been afflicted with SCP-4956-1.
266
267D-6: D-6 entered a dark tower and was shown items that were not sighted before. At the bottom of the tower, there was a barrel containing some crude oil, followed by several barrels containing raw meat. After noting the presence of a torch outside the room, D-6 stated that she didn't feel the heat. At this point, five D-Class exited the room and began attacking each other. D-6 was unaffected by SCP-4956-1.
268
269D-17: D-17 entered a large room and found the following items:
270
271- A large river of raw meat
272
273- A large barrel containing raw meat
274
275- A long rifle, capable of firing off enough raw meat to fill a barrel
276
277- A similarly sized barrel containing several fuel tanks containing raw fuel
278
279- A large metal bucket of petrified wood
280
281- A small fire pit
282
283- Several puncture marks on D-17's hands, feet, arms, legs, and torso
284
285- A bucket filled with a number of fresh guinea pig heads
286
287- An item that could not be reached via touch, measuring approximately 18 cm in diameter.
288
289- A large, bag-like object with limited ventilation in the centre
290
291D-22: D-22 entered a shack with several walls from which the average person cannot see, and read a document labeled, "Presented on behalf of the So-and-So who ... ." The item noted in the document was left to D-22. D-22 left the shack and entered a small room containing a tank of raw oil. D-22 stood inside the tank and took a breath, attempting to remain conscious. A pack of monkeys were seen roaming around D-22 and attempting to attack him.
292
293D-12: D-12 entered a stone cave with no windows or walls, and was shown a locker containing a large number of items, including raw meat. D-12 then began to tear at the locker until pieces of meat were embedded in his hand. D-12 then began tearing at the wall in front of him in an attempt to enter the room. At this point, D-12 moved his hand into the locker, causing an avalanche of raw meat to fall on his head and face. D-12 was

298
299Special Containment Procedures: All tissue and tissue samples retrieved from SCP-4956 are to be examined by X-ray and microanalysis upon discovery, and the results are to be stored in an ever-growing database.
300
301At any given time, the site administrator is authorized to place an unaltered sample onto testing or administration chambers in each biological research chamber at Site-██, as well as on humanoid psychology and psychiatric testing chambers of the Site's separate research division. Restrictions apply for testing with SCP-4956-2; all other tissues are to be excluded, and samples from SCP-4956-2's iris and retina, taken upon containment, removed to ensure that Foundation staff cannot possibly perform any experiments on them. SCP-4956-2 are to be contained in separate holding cells from the rest of SCP-4956-1 at all times, except under the limited circumstances mentioned below. If SCP-4956-2 is removed, personnel are to destroy the ear, splice into it or add a prosthetic.
302
303Further details concerning containment are listed below. SCP-4956's containment varies somewhat between days of week and night. Phasing out food and water voluntarily is generally recommended.
304
305Proposed X-ray Special Containment Procedures: Under the current research on SCP-4956's mouth canal, it is believed that picking or tearing the internal tissue particles in its mouth could result in substantial disruption of cognitive functions and similar symptoms of SCP-4956.
306
307If a means of destroying SCP-4956-2 is found, constructing a x-ray containment chamber is to be utilized. Otherwise, a chamber using the body's own tissues is to be used as a filler and proximity means.
308
309If a container uses SCP-4956's internal tissue and hemispheres, every specimen, apart from the remainder of SCP-4956-1, are to be kept within a plastic container, and used for scanning the specimen while on x-ray. If the container is compromised, access to SCP-4956 is forbidden without prior written approval.
310
311On subjects affected by SCP-4956, complete digestion of the body is recommended, if possible. However, it has been observed that the innermost layers of SCP-4956's mouth canal will become undrinkable without the use of mechanical means of digestive purposes.
312
313Under the current state of SCP-4956, each day of the week begins with SCP-4956-1 meeting its corresponding male or female SCP-4956-2. The subject's form, coloration, number of teeth, and other general details remain consistent, but SCP-4956-2's jaw moves significantly, and becomes enlarged.
314
315Thus far, no healing has occurred on the inside of SCP-4956's mouth, save for patches of aging around its mouth in the lower jaw, and on the front end of its lower jaw. SCP-4956-2 can also sustain changes in number of teeth in the front two thirds of its mouth, and increased chewing energy necessary to feed its ever-diminishing digestive capacity. This is not seen to significantly affect SCP-4956-1. When SCP-4956-2 dies, its excretion can begin. Human skulls contain information relating to SCP-4956's physical appearance in previous life.
316
317Currently, normal visual surveillance has been unable to confirm SCP-4956-2's existence, other than through recreational activities and low-intensity music. It is believed that SCP-4956 has lived other periods in existence, given the lack of its original potential. This information contains likely references to D-Class testing personnel or personnel chosen for testing, as well as common names and personal details relating to D-Class.
318
319At the end of each week, during the end of each month, the trace amount of data generated by the Foundation's processing of SCP-4956-2 is to be cataloged. The top 5 activities are to be confirmed and used to determine Foundation presence, with each success validates that SCP-4956's functionality was not anomalous.

411Object Class: Safe
412
413Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in a standard standard storage locker for items discovered under SCP-1393, with the stack of surfboards being a notable exception. Outwardly, SCP-4956 is to be dressed entirely in black (both under its primary and secondary identities).
414
415The responsibility for containment of SCP-4956 will be shared by Dr. ███ and Assistant SCP-4956.
416
417Description: SCP-4956 is a mannequin made of wood measuring approximately ██ meters in height, ██ meters in width, and ██ meters in depth. To date, no measurements of the topology of the object have been determined, but it is thought to be a standard mannequin. The underside of the mannequin has a cast onto it from which roughly 8% of the area has been removed. Various materials such as wood fragments, plastic, foam, plasticizer, rust, plastic, and dirt have been detected on the object. When a person approaches close enough to touch the mannequin, it will begin to indicate a change in its 'personal identity', the removal of its lower half, and the eventual growth of flesh and bone plates. The transformation will begin as soon as the person touches the object, after which the person will be characterized as an unknown young Caucasian male (████). When no other subject approaches within 200 meters of the object, the manifestation will occur. The number of occasions when a manifestation has occurred is currently unknown, but we can infer its frequency to be as high as ██ per year.
418
419When this has occurred, the subject displays a level of intelligence similar to that of a "normal" human being of adolescence. The subject has been seen to view himself as having some idea of who he is, and his inner self reflects his external personality identically to normal, with a slightly less aggressive and more nurturing personality. At times it appears that the manifestation is for an unknown amount of time.
420
421Recovery: SCP-4956 was first discovered by police officers spotted during a commotion outside a house in ███████. A message was broadcast through the local television news saying that several victims had been found wounded following an altercation with children on a nearby school bus. As █████ left the house in order to help the victims, he was confronted by a police officer dressed in full SWAT gear, who had presumably arrived on scene. SCP-4956 fell into the driver seat of a vehicle and was subsequently apprehended. Further investigation revealed that █████ was actually one of two pranksters pulling a similar prank in a similar scenario. SCP-4956 was picked up in critical condition due to high levels of chest trauma. The victim underwent several physical examinations over a ██-hour period with no trace of anomalies found. Further experimentation revealed that █████ had been hallucinating throughout the ordeal, believed to have fallen unconscious after being shot in the leg by the police officer. However, other anomalies did not seem to affect █████ during the event.
422
423SCP-4956 was transferred to Foundation containment facilities, but due to the unusually high manifestation frequency, a Foundation task force was formed by Foundation agents. It has since been determined that SCP-4956 only manifests in cases with as few as ██ individuals. However, to date no attempts to quell the manifestation have been successful. Due to the anomalous nature of SCP-4956, all efforts to find a solution to the manifestation have been unsuccessful.
424
425In view of the detrimental effects of the manifestation, it has been recommended that SCP-4956 be carefully monitored for any future manifestations, while under threat of permanent death.
426
427Description: SCP-4956 was recovered from a man known as ████ ██████. A police report pertaining to the events of ██/██/████ states that ████ ██████ was intercepted by three young children in a separate incident while attempting to beat up children who were "yelling" at the children. After ████ ██████ failed to comply with their demands, the children restrained him in the back of their minivan and took him to a local police station, where he was thereafter reported to be seen by a 1393-level security breach.
428
429This is █████'s handwritten account of his encounter with SCP-4956:
430
431"Numerous police [respondents]. They arrive in two vehicles. The truck is the police car. We drive through with the truck for close to three hours. We parked here at one end. The two boys tried to open the bag in the back. We got into a fight with them. Our turning toward them. We said 'We're going to kill you'. They hit out at us. One of the boys went to grab the gun. Then the bus fell over. We all got out. One was lying on the floor. We reached out. See when we tried to use the bathroom.

437Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 has been placed in a standard storage locker at Site-18. One standard Class D with a minimum of thirty days of service has been assigned to SCP-4956 per week. Area-51-A has been granted broad emergency funding to address local emergencies and in-house salvage attempts. Personnel assigned to SCP-4956 are to be advised of the general general properties of SCP-4956 and kept abreast of potential Foundation efforts in the event of a breach.
438
439If there is no breach, there is no need to alert the Foundation at all. Personnel who are assigned to Area-51-A who have witnessed hostile behavior by SCP-4956 are to be given a separate, Class E personnel.
440
441Description: SCP-4956 is a 19 m x 18 m x 24 m structure which appears to grow out of the ground in the ██████████ suburbs of ██████████, Wyoming. SCP-4956’s manifestation is instantaneous, and the object morphs into a form consistent with the majority of civilians’ vision of the countryside, with no evidence of shifting, digging, or architectural alterations. The following events have occurred to personnel assigned to Area-51-A.
442
443The arrival of the task force. They became aware of the object immediately.
444
445The first sighting by non-Foundation personnel. We were in Area-51-A. We heard a strange roar that shook the walls and we saw the object. The walls collapsed and we were thrown 30 meters down to a landing.
446
447The midpoint of the object’s growth process. This marked the first instance of the object going into disrepair.
448
449The vast majority of sightings since the Foundation last acted on behalf of the facility. Up until this point the size of SCP-4956 has had a consistently decreasing portion of ground covered.
450
451SCP-4956’s visible surface. The smaller the patch of ground covered, the further north it has gone.
452
453The majority of recent manifestations have been accompanied by bone-colored translucent mist. It has been determined that this is not an effect of SCP-4956 itself, but rather from the effects of the creature’s plant matter. This is thought to be the result of the fungus-like growths of SCP-4956 extending the range of the mist from the ground to the objects it attacks.
454
455The most recent manifestation of SCP-4956 appears to be the addition of an ash forest at Site-18.<|endoftext|>The extinction of the Faunus species found near the Urals is the most closely correlated speciation event in the evolutionary history of Mammals.
456
457Most commonly recognized as the subspecies Falco ferus ferus, the Finiculidae, or the Golden-headed (Ferus ochraceus) lion, represents an endemism which is particularly common to heavily glaciated areas, and biologists have assumed that this is largely due to glaciation affecting dispersal routes across the continental hemispheres. This scenario is supported by morphological comparisons with non-agricultural faunal assemblages of northern temperate climes.
458
459On several occasions however, a small amount of migrants has been found in these regions of the Americas. This includes a small population of finches of the genus Salvinis, the Western therapsid owl and the Golden-humped Falcon. To date these populations has successfully inhabited a large number of habitats.
460
461This study demonstrates the importance of both cold and temperate habitats for speciation and the viability of local faunal assemblages. The harsh winter climates of the northern frigid regions could have acted as barrier to dispersal of animals, and the temperate habitats were conducive to foraging, which later lead to a proliferation of finch and owl species.<|endoftext|>Abortion’s barbarous history
462
463Remember that last week I said that I thought the continued fighting over abortion was pointless because many people seem to believe that abortion should be outlawed immediately in the US.
464
465People who have written letters about this to various politicians all say the same thing: the actual Roe v Wade ruling that legalized abortion was decided on a technicality. Abortion should be illegal, they say, because:
466
467Roe overruled the ruling of the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that the existing laws that criminalized abortion in DC were unconstitutional; and
468
469Roe denied Virginia the right to have legislators pass another law mandating that women seeking an abortion first undergo 24 hours of counseling.
470
471Now I’m a little skeptical of claims of illegality by the courts, particularly when those claims are tenuous at best and based on issues that were addressed in the case rather than having to do with the question of whether or not abortion should be legal.
472
473Nonetheless, I don’t think there’s any principled reason

479Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is contained in a 2 meter diameter airtight containment chamber provided with a bed fitted with four wall-to-wall pillows and no other furniture. The chamber is also furnished with two mobile typewriters and a picture of a man labeled "Mr. Split Personality, Start Here" and headphones. Access is limited to L0. Protocol has been enacted to ensure data input is limited only to documentation of SCP-4956 as there is no way to supply SCP-4956 with video-logs.
480
481Description: SCP-4956 is a human female with distinctive facial features. Additionally, SCP-4956's bodily functions lead Dr. ██████ to suspect that SCP-4956 may or may not be having multiple personalities.
482
483As per instructions from MTF Lambda-13 (Professional SCP-Getters), SCP-4956's seams have been tightly sealed. SCP-4956's body has not exhibited any signs of biological damage from the time she was recovered. SCP-4956's memories show that she is able to function completely independent of her body.
484
485SCP-4956 is incapable of seeing, hearing, smelling, or tasting anything outside the privacy of the chamber's walls, and has been showing no signs of responding or objecting to loud noises, light noise, or lights, no matter how bright or dim. SCP-4956 will rapidly produce a raspy, clear voice that can be heard from several miles away. SCP-4956 will rarely engage in body-language, nor will she show a reaction to vibrations. Only by confining SCP-4956 within SCP-4956-1 will it appear the subject does become extremely agitated.
486
487SCP-4956's personality is divided between the two dedicated personalities. SCP-4956-1 consists of SCP-4956's memories, and most of her nervous system. SCP-4956-1 is only vocalized during the evening, and only calls out to personnel who are in physical contact with SCP-4956-1. Even this voice no longer prompts responses or instructions, and voices from the White House of President ██████ Rodham██ or the House of Representatives are not answered by SCP-4956-1. The minimum distance of SCP-4956-1's voice can be heard varies based on the circumstances and condition of its subject, usually including several meters between her and SCP-4956-1. It is currently unclear if it is a conscious decision on SCP-4956's part to allow SCP-4956-1 to hear her voice or whether SCP-4956 is able to differentiate between its own and SCP-4956-1's voice.
488
489SCP-4956-2, consisting of any other audio or video footage that SCP-4956 is aware of.
490
491The desire to speak directly to personnel is often apparent during the period between 3 AM to 11 AM, but prior to this time SCP-4956 has been known to utilize its considerable spatial advantage to move freely around the containment chamber, occasionally saying SCP-4956-2. Attempts to communicate with SCP-4956 through this channel only seems to make her more agitated, and each time she leaves the chamber she will usually resume vocalizing in a somewhat agitated manner, and will repeat SCP-4956-2 frequently. It is unknown whether SCP-4956 intends for SCP-4956-2 to communicate directly with them, or whether SCP-4956 is being forced to seek direct communication with them.
492
493SCP-4956 has proven to be a highly effective containment device to prevent access to any part of its subject. However, attempting to communicate with SCP-4956-2 will invariably make SCP-4956-1 do something obscene. It is currently unknown whether the subject's actions are due to frustration and/or "psychic projection". More information will be added as it is found.
494
495No applications of recordings or video-logs with effects of the Y2K Protocol have been detected, as of 17/12/████ . Please contact Dr. ██████ if you wish to test this facility with possibly anomalous sounds or records. As of 16/12/████ SCP-4956 is capable of full speech.
496
497To communicate with SCP-4956 please email Dr. ██████ directly at [email protected]

509Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956-A is to be placed inside a special bi-well away from any settlement or living environment, with barriers to prevent access of vaporized cells to the surface. All living or dead subjects are to be removed from the surface of SCP-4956 and placed into standard containment chambers.
510
511Description: SCP-4956 is a series of interactive screens by the Taiwanese contractor █████ ████. The screens can exhibit a variety of sci-fi-style scenes: a battle, a space station or spaceship, a skyscraper, and one of the dimensional gates from the fictional Cybernetics Department of Foundation artifacts.
512
513When a subject enters SCP-4956 (hereafter referred to as SCP-4956-A), SCP-4956-A will usually display four to five different simulations of various scenarios related to the subject’s use of SCP-4956. Subjects are also able to program simulations into SCP-4956-A.
514
515Simulations created by SCP-4956-A are then made available to the subjects via a computer interface. If the subject interacts with a map interface located next to the screen, relevant information regarding their simulation is displayed (e.g. location, coordinates, what to do, etc.) on a map overlay on the subject’s view of SCP-4956-A.
516
517SCP-4956-A displays a number of different objects upon users entering the screens: racks holding objects placed within the simulation, mobile support teams with a mission specialist that can provide instructions or supervision, and instruments for calibrating devices, etc. SCP-4956-A also displays three types of mathematical formulas related to calculating the efficacy of devices in the simulation.
518
519Following an interaction with SCP-4956-A, the subject will die by lethal overdose, usually within four minutes, though it can usually be instantaneous. Subjects usually die from acute multiple amphetamine intoxication in 95% of cases. After subjects die, SCP-4956-A ejects the bodies onto the floor and wipes out the entire contents of the user’s immediate surroundings; typically all food, water, and ash is taken out of the subject’s mouth and lungs. This process also marks the location of the subject within SCP-4956-A, as it is not permitted to fall outside of the rectangle, even if multiple subjects are within SCP-4956-A.
520
521SCP-4956-B, which are the "dead" subjects within SCP-4956-A, are contained within a special bi-well located in a secured chamber within SCP-4956. Upon death, SCP-4956-B will eject and fall through the bi-well and disappear.

530
531The Asteroid Lottery Plan is designed to spur the development of small space debris space stations and asteroids for commercial and military use. The prospect of a clean-energy and solid-fuel lunar moon base through asteroid mining is not lost on the plan's designer.
532
533"You can imagine having a lunar development cluster, which in turn could be asteroid agriculture," said Ryan Precht, a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
534
535If successful, the project could potentially transform the history of the solar system, Precht said. [In Photos: New Images of Asteroids and the Moon]
536
537"Even on Mars, [you could] start a separate resource economy that'll go back to Earth for sales and for transport to life support and things like that," Precht told SPACE.com.
538
539The asteroid mined through the Asteroid Lottery Project would be the best surviving portion of a medium-size asteroid, so they would be suitable for extracting resources such as water for habitation, Precht said. Asteroid mining could also be an important step toward the moon, he added.
540
541"The moon is the next thing on the list, and it is an extra-technical engineering challenge," Precht said. "It's one of those things where we want to be able to say it's practical and we're sure it will work."
542
543The concept of using asteroids as a resource pipeline in the inner solar system dates back to the 1950s, Precht said. At the time, they were the costliest and most resource-intensive sources of habitation material, but with major advancements in chemical and

549Special Containment Procedures: Recovered SCP-4956 cases are to be stored in a secure locker in Site-17's Hume Storage Vault. A chipped mixture of sodium chloride and paracetamol is to be added to each case within the containment locker to prevent self-asphyxiation. Special patrols are to be conducted by security personnel and Hume accumulators to verify that the Hume levels are not deteriorating.
550
551All SCP-4956 cases shall be removed by Researcher ████ ██████ for analysis. If SCP-4956 proves to contain any potentially dangerous sapience, SCP-4956 will be relocated immediately.
552
553Description: SCP-4956 is a red plastic cigar. Analysis has revealed that SCP-4956 possesses a relatively complex memory, and the vividness of this memory has been correlated with intense pneumatic sensations in the contralateral "limb." SCP-4956 will attempt to communicate with all persons it meets, though it is unable to fully explain or comprehend the relevant information it receives. Attempts to speak with SCP-4956 have proven problematic at best.
554
555SCP-4956's primary anomalous effect (referred to internally as its "mind blast") is the effect of SCP-4956's physical manifestation. For every person it manifests with, SCP-4956 appears to either directly or indirectly injure the subject suffering from a case of stroke-like neurological trauma, resulting in mild to severe neurodegeneration. SCP-4956 appears to be aware of the damage inflicted by its appearances, and is receptive to any form of treatment. If a subject does not accept SCP-4956's presence immediately following SCP-4956's manifestation, all injures incurred from SCP-4956's reappearance will undergo a healing process by SCP-4956, resulting in the subject regaining normal functionality.
556
557Since 2009, SCP-4956 has displayed a near-magical memory of its existence and travels around the world both spontaneously and under its own power. As of date, SCP-4956 has not interacted with any individuals apart from itself. If a subject meets SCP-4956 in person, they will typically determine that SCP-4956 is friendly and friendly, and attempt to speak with them. While SCP-4956 is friendly, it has never been known to directly attack a subject. Subjects who meet SCP-4956 under these circumstances only lose consciousness, and when awoken report that the entity was testing them.
558
559Due to SCP-4956's unpredictable manifestation methods, containment procedures have not yet been established.<|endoftext|>There are countless events and scandals unfolding today, and it’s becoming apparent that we’re living through one the biggest and most tumultuous and unpredictable Presidential Election ever. Donald Trump, the controversial presumptive Republican nominee, just got away with his most obvious conflict of interest—foreign and domestic—and the rest of us still aren’t going to stop trying to figure out what was behind it. If all goes according to plan, an investigation into the Trump family’s ties to Russia may be in the offing.
560
561This is only fitting. Trump’s campaign has repeatedly ruffled feathers throughout his campaign, all while relentlessly making bombastic claims about keeping our country safe from major terrorist threats. These personal vendettas have been interesting to watch play out, but a breach of trust between the US government and a key foreign entity may eventually derail his progress.
562
563Vladimir Putin and his people have been one of the biggest observers of Donald Trump and his campaign for almost as long as we’ve been able to throw phones and write this. He’s been completely critical of Trump throughout this campaign, and they’ve maintained a strict relationship. Vlad’s position is in no way the only one within the Kremlin to sympathize with the businessman, but Trump is all but guaranteed to take a severe blow to his campaign if he develops any sensitive information about his possible election match-up against the rival Democrat candidate.
564
565All this is still speculation, but it’s starting to look like a serious and constant plot line involving the Bush family may be on the horizon. If Trump becomes too politically incorrect and politically risky for US politics, a more traditional candidate may step up in his place.
566
567We’ve seen some interesting actions since the financial crisis, but I think Trump has the most to gain from any unfortunate media moments the Republican party may encounter. Washington is facing an election deficit of over $20 trillion in its debt, and the American voter still has no way of knowing whether or not there’s a solution for that problem. The Republicans are notoriously conservative, but have historically backed the easiest, best options. This is changing, however, and may cause the party to rethink their current stance and become more vocal about their intentions. In light of the upcoming US Presidential Election, this could go one of

573Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in standard containment locker Number 750. SCP-4956 is to be fed a ten (10) kg block of Grundlagen (Japanese, uncooked Toroyamis) at all times. Any SCP-4956-1 instances lacking ordinary human digestive systems are to be restrained using the special restraints obtained at the 8th Foundation Cataract Transplant Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transportation and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transitional Termination Initiative Limited Supply Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transitional Termination Initiative Limited Supply Transportation and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transport and Psychological Support Foundation Transitional Termination Initiative Limited Supply Transitional Termination Initiative Limited Supply.
574
575Within three (3) days of SCP-4956's apprehension, SCP-4956-1 instances are to be moved to a new location. Unless otherwise ordered, this location must be within two (2) meters of the previous location, and must contain twelve (12) blocks of Grundlagen. Instances deemed non-compliant are to be terminated as immediately as possible. Any self-mutilating SCP-4956-1 instances are to be treated as if self-mutilating other human beings.
576
577Description: SCP-4956 is a cross between a human skull and a five (5) meter animal skull. Each individual SCP-4956-1 instance is given a personal computer. The remainder of the body is entirely missing except for the topmost four (4) centimeters of its height. SCP-4956's brain is a typical brain mass and consists of 210 million (109 million) cells. In order to prevent potential escape and self-mutilation, SCP-4956-1 instances are restrained with the following standard restraints, based on movement speed: horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and angle (full-body bowtie). Within 24 hours of placement in SCP-4956's containment chamber, instances become hostile, attacking in a direct, consistent way. Instances continue to attack and verbally insult until five (5) weeks have passed, at which point instances cease formulating verbal threats and cease attacking.
578
579All instances of SCP-4956-1 are female humanoids, with overall intelligence and movement speed comparable to some woodland animals. They exhibit social behavior similar to other animals. Instances attack with a thick poisonous needle similar to a snake or a frog.

In fact, Democrats across the country are already flirting with both of those options. But there's much more in here, including vengeful efforts from "the Wall Street-funded conservative media," including Fox's Sean Hannity.
584
585Do you hear the "sick people kicking people off their insurance?"
586
587Don't look to the left or the right, liberals, conservatives, and moderates alike: the real issues are not partisan or ideological. These are moral issues. And ObamaCare is not the right answer, but the wrong answer, at a time when the most basic moral rules have been trampled in the name of political expediency.

595Washington's health care problems are about where personal responsibility ends and profit begins. No one knows better than the GOP how dangerous it is to go down the path of denying government-provided health care to millions of seniors, children, the disabled, and people with low incomes. Nor does anyone know better than the Democrats that the costs of care must be reduced, not trebled, and must be paid for entirely out of the profits of our commercial health care industry.

607Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be housed in a Site-30 O5-level data storage facility, such as those used for containing the likes of Dr. ██████ for corporate reasons. A lock is to be placed on the display area, and an individual within Site-30 is to be assigned a key to manage SCP-4956's display and containment room. A storage locker within Site-30 is to be designated for SCP-4956 and is to be kept at least five meters from any display containing SCP-4956.
608
609All new personnel assigned to SCP-4956 are to be instructed that while studying SCP-4956 must not look directly at SCP-4956 or its screens without proper camera adjustments. As soon as possible, a retrieval team should be sent to retrieve and transport SCP-4956 to the container testing room. The testing room is to be closed and closed behind the team when they return. Non-anomalous material that enters the testing chamber is to be destroyed, and SCP-4956 and its container are to be returned after testing is complete and no artifacts from the former testing room are left behind.
610
611Should an external objective be communicated to SCP-4956, it is to be terminated, including all personnel involved in its construction. Otherwise, the SCP Foundation is to be notified of the upcoming completion of SCP-4956, and Foundation security personnel are to patrol the area of containment for any instances of SCP-4956 or its containment pod to search for changes in SCP-4956's current state.
612
613Description: SCP-4956 is an unidentified conglomeration of metal and plastic plates, built in a 19:2:2:2 proportions, 1.75 m thick. The main layer is a white plastic ███████ ██████ ██████ with a hardness of 3165 on the Mohs scale. Part of the ship's armor plating is composed of ███████ ██████ ██████. The surface is studded with thirty-five circular luminous symbols etched in white. Eighteen of these symbols are arranged symmetrically along the edges of the main hull of SCP-4956, while two symbols are deployed in a concentric formation on the underside of the hull.
614
615SCP-4956 is currently detained in a standard 33 meter open-top ballistic containment container made from 1/4-inch steel steel covered with large pieces of scrap steel. As of 8/19/201█, around 30 cm of the main hull has been removed and carved away for the purpose of docking the cylinder with one of the other containment containers. Several objects known to be non-anomalous are contained within the container, in the form of sample log books and cylindrical apparatuses capable of interacting with SCP-4956's internal hardware. The interior of the container is filled with 6 steel thermite pellets and ████.2 plastic birdlike devices inside large cylinders on either side of the container. These objects are composed of a proprietary catalyst known as "Π-13" and are active at 85°C. They are designed to destabilize SCP-4956's buoyancy and cause it to sink to the bottom of SCP-4956's container, then to expel SCP-4956 at an angle similar to the exact degree at which it sank. The end effect of this effect is that all glass and metal contents of SCP-4956 are completely vaporized into a white mist outside the container, which rapidly evaporates away. Humanoids inside the container have shown to be hostile towards the outside environment, and SCP-4956 has shown an ability to avoid external contact when on its side.
616
617The original construction specifications for SCP-4956 were discovered on ██/█/2014 at the torso of SCP-4956 when an individual flying a small biplane made a sharp turn up a hill and ditched it into a swamp. There were several bloody holes near the body, and the person responsible for the crash was indentured to SCP-4956's construction. Another excavation at the entrance to the ship's hull revealed a second lower-body plate. Due to the discovery of the deceased workers and archaeological discovery of the individuals making preliminary welds, along with the complete loss of documentation concerning SCP-4956's construction, a Foundation detective investigation was initiated. The origin of the ship and its manufacturing process were classified as EXTRAORDINARY DANGEROUS SCIENCE and were the cause of the "someone is having a pretty bad day" that occurred when The Investigation Agent touched SCP-4956. As no information was found on the workers, the area was placed under close surveillance.

625Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in a 1.50m x 0.75m x 1.00m room in Site-23's Neural Review room, a CELLULAR-TRAVELING LAB wherein a maximum of thirty trainees and researchers are to conduct regular experiments over a period of eight weeks.
626
627During testing, SCP-4956's casings are to be wrapped in a standard Ballistic Energy Absorption suit (AES), causing SCP-4956 to release its avian host from its neurological interlocking bonds. Close observation of any SCP-4956 instance outside of testing is to be carried out in Site-23's Mainroom Apartment. In the event that testing cannot be carried out in Site-23's Neural Review room, personnel should be compensated at least 2 months for their free SCP-4956 production for use in as-needed items.
628
629Description: SCP-4956 is a female Scottish Spotted Eagle , ████.██Ł. The key difference between SCP-4956 and a typical An eagle is that it possesses a transparent back containing rudimentary, identical genetic material. If this genetic material is damaged, altered, or removed, SCP-4956 enters into some form of internal physiological malfunction until the key mechanism responsible for its reproduction is repaired, or until static electricity has expired. If this were to occur, SCP-4956 will cease to hold anything together.
630
631When an SCP-4956 instance is "sneezed" or "whistled", it will emit what sounds like a loud, harmonious ticking, typically in an abrasive manner (much like a synthesizer tune), but if that tone is amplified, the note will sound to anyone within 5m of SCP-4956 such that they perceive it as a child's hand on their head and possibly "tickle(d)" them. This can be extremely embarrassing to subjects, so SCP-4956 instances are to be carried with the functioning tip of its reproductive organ between the legs. SCP-4956 instances' voices are decidedly reminiscent of Nick Drake.
632
633Once enough energy has been built, SCP-4956 will start to produce human-looking avian eggs around 12:45pm. These instances are called "millions", and the fetuses have thumping chests, ear-like outgrowths, hyperactive eyes, and a deep, sonorous "voice" when spoken. The eggs, although much smaller, appear to grow independently of their parents. SCP-4956 will build them on its haunches until they reach a place that the bird feels comfortable in, and will begin to lay them in the leaves. Once fully grown, they will care for SCP-4956 instances for a few hours, then leave the scene for a day. After eight days, the human-like eggs will hatch, and SCP-4956 will become children of the wild they were born into.
634
635SCP-4956 instances will gradually become children based on who is nearest to them when the instances become younger. When SCP-4956 instances are finished "toddling", they will forget who they were or why they were there. They are then to be moved to full containment in Site-23 where they will live out their lives in the care of a standing-room only ward once again.

653Upon taking the dose, Jane Doe had a great deal of trouble waking up, but when she did, the back of her head was covered in mucus and the color of her eyes were vivid and almond-shaped. She was to remain here for one hour, afterwards she would wake up on her own and SCP-4956 would take her from the room.

673Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in a standard airlock locker at Site-███. All personnel reading about or seeing SCP-4956 are to wear earpieces at all times. To date, there have been no instances of SCP-4956 entering the airlock, although this may change in the future. Researchers are forbidden to lift or breathe out of the airlock without the prior approval of Dr. ████████. All testing with SCP-4956 is to be performed in an identical environment to that of the original test subject, no matter how dissimilar it may be.
674
675Description: SCP-4956 is a large adult amorphous humanoid, approximately seven (7) meters tall, and 160 kilograms in weight. Testing has revealed that SCP-4956 does not require a body temperature to function. At current rates of progress, it is expected that the amorphous body will become fully composed of flexible metal girders by ██/██/████. Note that this is all that is known about SCP-4956; whether SCP-4956 itself is sentient, perceiving, or accessing sensory information through neural centers is yet to be determined. SCP-4956 has never been able to change direction while moving, and has thus shown no response to directional changes.
676
677SCP-4956 shows great emotional distress and impulse control is routinely lost in transitions between states. The most recent example of this is the time when SCP-4956 recognized Dr. ████████ and began to scream at the top of its lungs. SCP-4956 was then unable to formulate a response. Dr. ████████ was not fazed by the yelling, and told SCP-4956 he was able to move backwards into the airlock, allowing him to recover from the emotional distress and regain mobility. SCP-4956 quickly returned to its amorphous state.
678
679If the subject is removed from SCP-4956's state, or if the SCP-4956 polymer is allowed to deteriorate, SCP-4956 will take the form of the original subject. This form will have no need for directions or guidelines, and will become increasingly distressed as time passes. Upon completion of a humanoid conversion, all other rules pertaining to SCP-4956's state are inactivated, and the subject begins functioning normally once more.
680
681SCP-4956 has never displayed any normal sensory perception, despite what is stated in its containment procedures. The only noteworthy exceptions are the visual and tactile senses, but these allow data analysis, even in its amorphous state. It can be assumed that SCP-4956 currently has a sensory modality that has been inactive. This can be achieved by using a scanner to listen to audio files and visual data, and then scanning a microscopic sample of the material. Any species that is capable of auditory processing would be expected to have such capability.
682
683SCP-4956 currently has the ability to communicate with its original subjects and acquire and dissect the rest of their tissues in its amorphous state. SCP-4956 has expressed great irritation when subject scanners have attempted to retrieve organs other than the digestive tract. It is recommended that is removed and another method is utilized for this purpose. During the conversion process, SCP-4956 requires the blood and tissues of the original subject for tissue re-inhabitation in its state. Due to the small size of SCP-4956's head, most subjects will receive enough tissue to survive. It is expected that SCP-4956 will cease gaining tissue after the conversion of all biological tissues.
684
685SCP-4956 was not discovered until ██/██/████ after Dr. ████████ had reported a drastically increased rate of accidents in the California Homeowners Association. Dr. ████████ informed Dr. ████████ of his discoveries, who alerted the local Border Patrol, which took custody of SCP-4956. Description of SCP-4956 was granted to the Foundation in ██/██/████.
686
687Addendum 4956-1: On ██/██/████, it was learned that SCP-4956 possessed several of the biological matter of two unidentified children before it was given to the Foundation. These individuals had a purple substance flowing from their mouths, and [DATA EXPUNGED].<|endoftext|>Gov. John Hickenlooper declined a request to appear as a keynote speaker at a Sunday marijuana conference, which was to be held at one of his residences.
688
689“Gov. Hickenlooper will not be attending in light of his continued stance against marijuana legalization,” a spokeswoman for the governor said in a statement provided to The Denver Post by Josh Vokes, co-founder of an energy consulting company, who was seeking to have Hickenlooper at the 4:20 p.m. dinner event.

697Special Containment Procedures: The outside of Site-69, including outer containment doors and site layout, is to be covered in netting with hindrance devices attached to it. No personnel entering SCP-4956 are permitted to touch Foundation assets outside of their immediate vicinity. In the event of an approach by an unauthorized personnel, all personnel holding Foundation assets in netting are to hold them until further notice.
698
699In the event of an untoward event outside of containment (e.g. an unauthorized personnel within SCP-4956, an anomalous object entering or exiting the chamber, or an SCP-4956-2 instance affecting the surface area outside of containment) all personnel inside of containment are to activate the netting, and all personnel entering the chamber are to step back. Foundation assets outside of containment are to remain in the netting until the untoward event is over. When the netting is activated, in the event of an untoward event, Foundation assets outside of containment may step aside to let Foundation assets inside while the netting is activated.

701Description: SCP-4956 is a chamber located on the top floor of Site-69 and contains ██ reception rooms. The exterior of the chamber is entirely enclosed by a maximum security gate.
702
703Seventeen of the reception rooms are directly connected to the cell at Site-69-1 through a 1-km no man's land maintained in accordance with strict protocols.
704
705SCP-4956-1 is a facility situated adjacent to the reception rooms on the top floor of Site-69 and contains approximately █████ staff members. During the daytime, all staff at Site-69-1 have a fifteen-minute window during which they are allowed to congregate with staff members at SCP-4956-1. Personnel holding assignment and documents for Site-69-1 will remain there until the end of this time period. During the night, staff at Site-69-1 will be forbidden to enter SCP-4956 unless a request for entrance is made via the reception room. Personnel that violate these restrictions will be treated as persons of interest.

713Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is contained in a conventional humanoid containment cell. The cellside light is on 24 hours a day, and is dimmed at dawn and at dusk. SCP-4956 does not have access to technology such as a television or radio.
714
715As part of ongoing security measures, SCP-4956 will not be allowed to see the Foundation's research facilities or agents. Information regarding the nature of SCP-4956 must be submitted to the researchers supervising his containment.
716
717Description: SCP-4956 is a Caucasian male, approximately 18 years of age. SCP-4956 is unable to speak nor comprehend written English. He has shown no reaction to psychological stress, though reportedly becomes impatient with guards or staff who force him to speak. He is currently serving a life sentence at ██████████ State Prison after killing several Foundation employees.
718
719SCP-4956 possesses anomalous senses and abilities which vary slightly from location to location, though are not limited to this. He is able to perceive particles and environmental cues outside the normal range of human perception. This is thought to have helped him recognize the truck he was operating in when it collided with Foundation personnel. Additionally, he has gone through phases where he cannot make sense of the opposite side of the room, though what has induced this change has not been identified.
720
721SCP-4956's speech has degraded significantly over the past 30 years, though he shows no signs of understanding human comprehension. Consequently, research staff have been required to record the sound levels of the room he operates in so that tests can continue and brief cognitohazardous sprays can be conducted. Further testing on his ability to understand human language will be done at the discretion of the current Research Director.

741Agent: The Northern California Foundation, huh?
742
743SCP-4956: Great name, man. Keep it coming.

749Agent: Good timing, you got your chance.
750
751SCP-4956: Dude, you like this stuff?
752
753Agent: I'm sorry, Mr. D█████, I can't help but notice that every time you get us talking you begin to break character.
754
755Agent: There is no way to tell if you're joking, or just out of your wits.
756
757SCP-4956: Yeah, I take it I wasn't kidding? Damn, man, I really thought I was, I mean… I'll never forget that time.

767SCP-4956: Yeah, I had my issues when the camps were blowing up, but you made it out alright.
768
769Agent: It seemed like it was actually helping your mission.

791Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in a common foamboard crate on-site at all times. Personnel are required to be on constant guard against instances of SCP-4956 during SCP-4956's inspection of SCP-3378 instances. Surveillance cameras are to record all personnel entering and exiting the room with SCP-4956. Should an instance of SCP-4956 enter the room without warning, monitoring cameras must immediately record it. Should the door of SCP-3378 react to the movement of SCP-4956, SCP-4956 is to be quickly escorted to yet another room on-site for a thorough study.
792
793Description: SCP-4956 is a wooden crate, measuring 22 inches tall and 12 inches wide. SCP-4956 is covered in grass and similarly to SCP-3378 is equipped with four ornate brass lamps embedded throughout the crate, of the type normally found on furniture.
794
795SCP-4956's purpose appears to be the containment of various SCP objects. Within the crate, there are various piles of dirt, juniper tree bark, and cotton leaves containing various items the Foundation has found abnormal. The entire time SCP-4956 is in possession of these objects, an audible humming sound can be heard through the floor.
796
797The most common items contained within SCP-4956 are items said to contain a substance, or ritual, that is a variation of the poem:
798
799“Rain stains me like mud in the fields of Herakles”
800
801“I leave what is impossible”
802
803“A final dream”
804
805“I have burned a woman’s eyes”
806
807“I was like man”
808
809SCP-4956-1 has been identified as [DATA EXPUNGED]. No further information is available regarding SCP-4956-1.
810
811Objects contained in SCP-4956 appear to match those that SCP-4956 is believed to have been meant to contain before its destruction. SCP-4956-2 is a bed, which appears to be from at least the Victorian Era. It is decorated as though no more than two years have passed since its initial construction. SCP-4956-3 is a table with wooden paneling. The only item listed as having passed through SCP-4956's life is SCP-4956-4 a vase labeled, "Moonshine." SCP-4956-5 appears to be an old disassembled carousel horse created of numerous stuffed animal parts. SCP-4956-6 is a child's crayon drawing of flowers, which is believed to be incomplete, and it appears to date from the 1880's. SCP-4956-7 is an unidentified cubic-shaped model of Earth, which was thought to have died out. An autopsy reveals that the marble and wood are complete, but that the design was damaged beyond repair, and SCP-4956 was deemed too unstable to allow proper maintenance. SCP-4956-8 is a carton of fish, which seems to match SCP-4956-9, if only slightly out of alignment. SCP-4956-10 is a blue globe containing [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-4956-11 is a large collection of books, with apparent annotations written in autographs of notable authors from the 19th and 20th centuries. SCP-4956-12 is an unknown vial of mercury. SCP-4956-13 is a completed photograph of the Berlin Wall, with identifying tags added by a male alien approximately 170-175cm in height. This picture appears to date back to approximately [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-4956-14 is a painting by Camille Claudel that appears to depict a group of sleeping humans, with the heads of the subjects to the left, the arms of the subjects to the right, and the overall distance from the front of the painting due to the image blurred to within two centimeters.
812
813Whenever a new incident with SCP-4956 occurs, it is immediately recorded by all video recording devices on-site. Any attempts to damage or damage an object contained within SCP-4956 are prohibited. Should SCP-4956 appear hostile, the personnel on-site are to attack with a minimum of force necessary, including stun grenades, aimed at multiple locations on-site, SCP-093, and all cameras and sound recording devices. A warning drawn on the walls of the room containing SCP-4956 is to be displayed on-screen. An evacuation is to be conducted immediately after the breach is detected.
814
815SCP-4956's effects on sentient beings appear to be reversible, although casualties are always severe. Subjects are incapable of consciousness while within SCP-4956's containment chamber. The result of such an event is a "dream" comparable to a self-perpetuating video loop, although manifests

821Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956-1 is contained in designated Site-██ as SCP-4956-2. SCP-4956-2 is to be kept in a standard containment cell and monitored by trained personnel at all times. Personnel are forbidden from approaching or approaching SCP-4956-2 at any time. No further containment measures are required. Containment team SCP-4956-1 is to be alerted as to the nature of SCP-4956-2 at all times.
822
823Description: SCP-4956-1 is a sapient white rat resembling a rat of European descent, around 1.2 meters long, often with a human face. SCP-4956-1 cannot be harmed and has no physical characteristics apart from the face of a human. Aside from the human face, the body shows no signs of consistent suffering or death. The head has a complete lack of any skin or hair. The eyes of SCP-4956-1 are larger than human. In fact, all eyes are human-sized. SCP-4956-1 has long, white hair, but no hair. The ear are ridged, with perhaps a tapering or wiping back at the end. SCP-4956-1 is currently infected with virus Xenoviridae (commonly called "sleeping curse"). The voice of SCP-4956-1 is unmistakably that of a human male. The voice is programmed to mimic the tone and delivery of a human male.
824
825A physical autopsy revealed death is due to advanced viral infection and enzymatic digestion, but not from internal trauma or cardiac arrest. No organs have undergone overt tissue damage. The antiseptic properties of SCP-4956-1's blood have also detected no gross abnormalities.
826
827SCP-4956-2, or "havok", is a 1.3 meter tall humanoid wearing a humanoid outfit. When first encountered, SCP-4956-2 displayed no anomalous properties. However, it has kept assaulting SCP-4956-1 throughout its containment. The costume is made from quality chocolate (an unknown chocolaty confectioner's, or brand name that appears to be associated with "Chocolate Queens"). SCP-4956-2 has occasionally attacked SCP-4956-1 with its teeth. During the attack, SCP-4956-2 will display a demeanor almost reminiscent of early [REDACTED]. SCP-4956-2 has also performed abnormal gestures and behavior, including appearing to gesture at SCP-4956-1 using its arms and random movements. SCP-4956-2's hands have not been studied, but appears to be covered in dried chocolate particles. It is suspected that SCP-4956-2 is attempting to suffocate SCP-4956-1 in order to extract information regarding SCP-4956-1's previous host.
828
829When questioned, SCP-4956-2 claims to be a human male, but specifically points out aspects of the body of SCP-4956-1 that appear to be skeletal muscles, wires and electrical circuits, and even parts of SCP-4956-1's face. SCP-4956-2 has yet to express any desire to harm humans. Throughout interrogations, SCP-4956-2 seems confused by its current containment and attempts to escape.
830
831Currently, it is believed that the genetic architecture of the virus is similar to the form of the "sleeping curse" incited by SCP-4956's original host.

839Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in a dedicated research chamber beneath Site-77 with a population of at least 500. Each research cell is to be designed so that in the event of a biohazard incident, only personnel not directly associated with SCP-4956 will be able to enter the cell. Neither SCP-4956 nor its occupants are to be removed from the research area without immediate medical assistance. All research staff must wear hazmat suits in everyday operation and have access to scuba gear for the containment chamber. All testing of SCP-4956, its occupants, and its anomalous effects are prohibited outside of designated enclosures. All personnel who have been in contact with SCP-4956 are to undergo Level 4 testing on the following standards in light of the current containment protocol.
840
841Dr. Cordova-Cendross must monitor all direct communication and Keter assignments from Site-77's Foundation alarm system.
842
843The subjects studied by SCP-4956 are to be given Class-B amnestics and similar serums. Research staff and their family members are to wear hazmat suits in combination with respiratory equipment and face masks, as mandated by Site-77's Foundation alarm system.
844
845Discovery: SCP-4956 was accidentally discovered in a nature preserve in Fort Worth, Texas in 1963, and contained until 1967. Following the investigation into the contents of a dead tree journal found in its possession, an incident regarding a local teenager who had taught a class about SCP-4956 lead to the accidental discovery of SCP-4956's anomalous properties. SCP-4956 was considered safe until 1980, when various questions were raised regarding its anomalous effects. Afterwards, SCP-4956 was considered to be classified as Euclid until the planned testing on SCP-4956's anomalous effects had progressed far enough that research staff no longer were directly associated with the object. Special administrative measures were implemented to formalize the mass containment of SCP-4956 and its vicinity.
846
847Addendum A: Before further testing, all personnel who have been exposed to SCP-4956 as research or security personnel must be evaluated for exposure, as well as their family members. Foundation monitoring equipment is to locate any family members in the area of a potential test site and detain them or escort them to safety until testing has been completed. SCP-4956 is to be kept on the premises of Site-77 and is to have a number of keyed entry points. After testing has been performed on SCP-4956, any research staff cleared for their applications will undergo level 4 testing. All research personnel handling SCP-4956's anomalous effects are to be searched by MTF, SCPS, and SCPS-Reverse-9 units for what is believed to be malicious information or bias. Once cleared by O5-5, Foundation agents or civilians who know those who have been exposed to SCP-4956 will be debriefed about their exposure and transferred from SCP-4956's area of effect.
848
849Addendum B: Although SCP-4956's containment procedures were established in 1963, additional parts of the Foundation's research apparatus were initially in place during the 1990s when attempts to investigate SCP-4956's anomalous effects. Information regarding these experiments is being included to allow the use of the periods between containment periods to document SCP-4956's development, rather than to create an alternate timeline. Due to the newly discovered details about SCP-4956's true origins, direct access to SCP-4956's preliminary containment research is strictly prohibited until further investigation is completed.

851SCP-4956-A - Mechanical 'Turtle' - Expedition 44-15
852
853Discovery: Area three was formerly an inter-city tunnel system. It originally had tunnel openings at various places within the city, as well as over one hundred smaller entrances at various locations in the city. For reasons unknown, the entrance at [REDACTED] between the [REDACTED] and the [REDACTED] was defaced, and its portals destroyed. Eventually, the tunnel system completely disappeared, and excavation of the area uncovered SCP-4956. The Foundation investigated the site extensively and determined the location of a tunnel connected to [REDACTED] as it connected to a prefabricated air conditioning unit. The outside appearance of the unit was typical of a common construction project.
854
855Researcher Dr. Baquedano led a team of 20 Foundation researchers in exploring the entire air conditioner tunnel, only to find it to be entirely occupied by SCP-4956. Each of the 12 laborers worked on various tasks simultaneously, unable to interact with any outside objects. When instructed to construct a small structure, all 12 laborers constructed it in the same fashion, switching every two minutes between each other worker for upkeep of the structure. A high volume of complaints were filed against the Foundation for violating the rights of the workers, although none of the laborers were disciplined, as

861Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-4956 is to be accomplished in an iterative manner, with current containment procedures having been updated as needed.
862
863O5 Command is to be informed of SCP-4956's current containment area, with an alternate area to be labeled SCP-4956-α. Intelligence reporting on containment activity is to be dispatched via [REDACTED].
864
865A specially constructed 150 metre line of defense consisting of Enforcer cruisers, Medium Heavy Machine guns, and an endowment of MTF 13 "Rattlesnakes" is to be constructed around the target area. Containment within the containment area is designated SCP-4956-D (Designated -D for short). This containment plan is to commence at 23:00, the hour that SCP-4956 initiates its maddening display of verbal fantasy. The Enforcer cruisers are to proceed at maximum speed until they reach a Site-██-isolated location and begin to locate SCP-4956. Upon discovering SCP-4956, the MTF are to proceed to its final destination. The endowment of MTF 13 "Rattlesnakes" is to be determined by observation of SCP-4956.
866
867The Enforcer cruisers within the containment area are to be described as red, with MTF 13 "Rattlesnakes" engaging SCP-4956 as early as possible in the containment order as a means of preempting SCP-4956's maximum level of stress. The removal of guards and agents within the containment area, following the release of SCP-4956, is not authorized. Any classified or no-classified materials within the containment area are to be brought to Site ████.

869Description: SCP-4956 is a human male, circa fifty years of age. This individual's physical state is non-anomalous. SCP-4956's psychological state is (at least until Researcher ████'s communication with SCP-4956) significantly more maladjusted than the average human being. The complete physiological data regarding SCP-4956 is considered to be strictly admissible evidence in any public investigation.
870
871SCP-4956 displays a unique psychological abnormality, generally classified as a delusional disorder. SCP-4956 believes he is an important entity referred to as <REDACTED>, and insists he has a personal relationship with all Foundation personnel, in addition to the regular Foundation personnel. It is now believed that SCP-4956 is purposely trying to gain the Foundation's attention, and should be considered to be suffering from a degree of indirect deception.
872
873It is unknown what SCP-4956's mental state may be like if this information was not made public. It is recommended that the Foundation begin intensive psychological monitoring as soon as possible.
874
875The various psychological symptoms exhibited by SCP-4956 have been catalogued by Dr. ████, as follows:
876
877Emotional instability: SCP-4956 is believed to suffer from acute psychotic breaks during intense emotional or physical stress.
878
879Attention seeking: SCP-4956 does not take kindly to the mere sight of Foundation personnel, other Foundation agents, or members of other competitive organizations.
880
881Selfless: SCP-4956 seems to like doing good. SCP-4956 often espouses a feeling of altruism and compassion for other human beings.
882
883Remorseless: SCP-4956 is completely incapable of believing anything untrue, and will never admit to knowing anything false.
884
885Power of suggestion: SCP-4956's arguments are not completely full of disinformation. SCP-4956 will argue his position using various metaphors or simple arguments that do not involve identifying truth.
886
887Fear: While not yet categorised as a phobia, SCP-4956 experiences intense fear of being separated from SCP-4956. There have been isolated incidences of SCP-4956 assuming a state of passive terror, but any instances of SCP-4956 appearing combative or hostile are considered rare.
888
889Hostility: SCP-4956 is willing to attack those who challenge him. SCP-4956's response to being attacked by Foundation personnel is to grow increasingly enraged, culminating in the release of a delusional verbal fantasy about violent altercations with Foundation personnel. These fantasies result in SCP-4956's alignment with the aggressor, and SCP-4956's attempt to fight and kill the victim.
890
891Fears of fatal, unpredictable illness: SCP-4956 displays a fear of coming into contact with an incurable, terminal, and untreatable illness, commonly identified as (at least, from current evidence, no further information is available.)
892
893SCP-4956 has manifested various ailments and debilitating conditions to appease or to manage these symptoms. These ailments have been coded as follows:

901Description: SCP-4956 is a collection of more than 5,000 paperback novels written in the 1920s and 1930s. Classified as SCP-4956-1, this collection is a veritable encyclopedia for the 20th century. It contains an extensive glossary of certain words and a significant amount of information about other poets, playwrights, sociologists, and literary critics in the 20th century. SCP-4956-1's final source of knowledge is the 1886 London Review of Books. No item listed in this wiki has not also been listed in at least one book in some of the collections, and, in some cases, a book in the page linked to from SCP-4956-1 must be accounted for separately due to its age and obscurity. SCP-4956 appears to be capable of storing information encoded within books for a very long time.
902
903SCP-4956 has only ever been activated in a single instance. When activated, a number of anomalous events occur. The main effect of this is the implementation of the phenomena resulting from that activation. In all cases the activated item has been listed in an online Internet directory linked to from SCP-4956-1. The books listed from this directory range from mundane to highly sought after, in part because the titles for most of them are so often one-sided novels written by obvious pulp writers of the era. After the initial activation, the effects of this activation persist until an inventory is made available to SCP-4956-2. If a small quantity of food or water is made available to SCP-4956-2 while its inventory is being cleared, they are capable of surviving for several days without food or water in their physical condition, usually doubling their weight. This has been observed for books at the top of the online book list as well as most of the titles listed in the listings linked from SCP-4956-1. The cause of this is still not known.

921The Last Guardian on PlayStation 4 was intended to be the last project for Team Ico, but when the game was cancelled the company and a smaller project remained. Sony Interactive Entertainment's Shuhei Yoshida explained the behind-the-scenes choice of waiting until 2016 to release it as it wasn't the most ideal time to address a lost project, while also thanking The Last Guardian's development team.

931Special Containment Procedures: The house on ███████ Street in downtown ██████████, Kentucky, has been designated SCP-4956-3 and is designated a Site-52 site. As per security protocols, the exterior of the house is currently off-limits to the public, and any personnel wishing to enter is escorted by local law enforcement. Extraterrestrial Foundation agents are to be placed inside the house to maintain the stability of the environment while Site-52-A 3, located next door to the home, is constructed.
932
933In the event of an outbreak of SCP-4956-1 within the house, it is standard procedure to keep SCP-4956-1-█ and SCP-4956-2-█ in addition to SCP-4956-3-█ in individual lockers on the main floor of the house, with all possible separation between them limited to one-quarter meter at a time. No attempts to attack SCP-4956-1 or SCP-4956-2 with anything other than hand-held space ships are to be made. If the threat continues to escalate, either SCP-4956-1 or SCP-4956-2 are to be returned to life and administered Class-B amnestics in a facility outside the containment zone.
934
935Description: SCP-4956 is the location of an unidentified terrestrial animal that lives in an enclosed space within the house on ███████ Street. The location of the animal is unknown at this time, as are its mechanisms of reproduction. On ██/██/████, a crowd of local residents, during the course of an argument, managed to breach the confines of the containment area to enter SCP-4956. SCP-4956-1 and SCP-4956-2 managed to escape in an unidentified space craft before being recaptured by local law enforcement. The space craft has not been identified.
936
937The site on ███████ Street that houses SCP-4956-3 and SCP-4956-4 is described as a rusty dilapidated barn that can be accessed via a narrow wooden staircase. Upon reaching the top of the staircase, explorers are faced with a small lounge area that is currently empty, save for a small wooden bed made of a traditional tree trunk. Conflicting reports indicate that SCP-4956-3 and SCP-4956-4 may be in fact separate entities, and possibly interacting in some way. Regardless, entry is restricted to Level 0 personnel and all environmental variables are to be monitored closely.

983Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel are forbidden to enter SCP-4956’s affected state for the duration of the infection. Once SCP-4956 has completed infection and maximum control of the extension of the agent’s manifestation has been attained, Site ██ must be sealed completely. SCP-4956 is to be contained in standard humanoid containment cells. Larger areas are to be off-limits to testing, and Level 4 personnel are to be issued an armed escort at all times.
984
985Description: SCP-4956 is a female individual SCP-4956 consistently refers to as Mr. John Doe. SCP-4956 is white with freckles on her arms and face, and appears to be of normal height, weight, and build. SCP-4956 usually appears alone and non-threatening to any individuals outside of the lab, though SCP-4956 has been known to approach Foundation personnel. SCP-4956’s face has been observed to swell if the subject is called or introduced to SCP-4956’s damaged throat during the infection period.
986
987When SCP-4956 enters into SCP-4956’s affected state, she transitions into a human patterned projection. Though much larger than SCP-4956, these projections are primarily bipedal and appear to have a humanoid body shape, though SCP-4956 appears to have a distinct body type. This projection is capable of moving at a medium speed when SCP-4956 ascends into her infected state, and becomes significantly faster during the second half of the infection period. Despite their size, these projections can seemingly ignore obstacles, cliffs, and other obstructions which would impede normal human movement.
988
989SCP-4956 was brought to the Foundation’s attention after the deaths of two Foundation agents. SCP-4956 had recently “abducted” the agents during a field agent exercise. During this time, SCP-4956 appeared to have hypnotized the agents into allowing her to extract tissue from them. In order to allow the extraction of tissue, it is necessary for the agent to be under SCP-4956’s control.
990
991Addendum 4956-1: During the second half of the SCP-4956 period, D-Class personnel █████ and ████ were brought into the infected state. SCP-4956 and the projections manifested an X-Class-Class Class-1 Event, which was successfully contained by Foundation assets. Further testing has been suspended until such time as the entire containment protocol can be reconsidered and reconfigured.
992
993Addendum 4956-2: SCP-4956 is currently experiencing a digestive infection, and a period of toxification as a result. SCP-4956 is making notable progress in her symptoms of that illness, but SCP-4956 has become extremely reluctant to assist any personnel with any dangerous experimental procedures. Progressives on scene have been unable to reach her. More information will be released as it becomes available.
994
995addendum 4956-3: The entirety of SCP-4956’s growth (i.e. SCP-4956’s projection’s manifestations over the entire period of the SCP-4956 Agent Infection) is completely accounted for by a single point upon the event. The projection consists of a single telson-like node at the center, and eight pairs of phlebotomises surrounding that central node.
996
997Addendum 4956-4: SCP-4956 is currently mentally stable and under Foundation control. The projection’s actual projections, or the telson-like node, no longer follows the individual and is responsible for energy transfer.
998
999Addendum 4956-5: Recent tests have proven that Ms. █████ had been affected by SCP-4956 during the second half of the SCP-4956 Agent Infection period, and was working on SCP-4956’s hair during this time. A saliva sample taken from the individual during this time was analyzed for genetic information. All anomalous findings in the saliva sample have been rendered non-anomalous. The saliva sample must be administered to a human within ten hours after the individual emerges from SCP-4956’s mouth.
1000
1001Addendum 4956-6: Personnel affected by SCP-4956 for a period of twenty days or more have been found to possess trace amounts of an incurable substance, which was named SCP-4956-1. Although no new mutations have been discovered by current knowledge, exposure to SCP-4956’s projection's effects, and ultimately SCP-4956-1, appear to cause moderate mental and emotional stresses that, when the subject is unstable, █████ and ████ have been found to experience on average fifty times over the course of a typical twenty-day period. The effects of exposure to SCP-4956-1 are debilitating, so SCP-

1007Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be placed in a humanoid containment cell at the Site-██ Level Four Experimental Research Area. SCP-4956 is to be fed on through a supply of human blood. Access to and inspection of the sensory systems of SCP-4956 are to be restricted to the approved research group on the subject. All research pertaining to the origin of SCP-4956, anomalous status, and subject anomalous properties is to be considered Class D Facilities.
1008
1009Description: SCP-4956 is a humanoid with a 10 cm height, possessing a sharply sculpted appearance, and extremely blue eyes. SCP-4956, at this point in its history, is a homeless man. No subject, SCP-4956 included, has yet managed to communicate with SCP-4956, and none have been able to determine his name, gender, or age.
1010
1011SCP-4956 has been described as in poor physical condition, suffering from congestive heart failure. SCP-4956 is capable of performing simple manual tasks, such as pulling a boat wheel, lifting a jar, and following directions. SCP-4956 does not speak, but notes items in verbal form and occasionally asks SCP-4956 questions. If SCP-4956 is awake, he can be seen wearing thick glasses, earbuds, and a shirt with a bulging leather jacket, with his eyes cast downwards.
1012
1013SCP-4956 is capable of inhaling and exhaling heavily compressed air, and has been shown to have a large chest cavity, and recent expansions to his vocal tract. However, this ability may have resulted from heart failure, as SCP-4956 can not appear to be in pain in this capacity.
1014
1015Examination of SCP-4956's experience lead to the discovery that he is being held within one of SCP-4956's eyeballs. At this point in its existence, SCP-4956, SCP-4956, and SCP-4956's current human host have been enclosed within one eyeball for an average of 8 years, or a combined median life span of 36-38 years. Observation of SCP-4956's behaviour has revealed that the eyeball is located primarily around SCP-4956's left eye, but also seems to extend into SCP-4956's right eye, and possibly other eye sockets. SCP-4956's current host is unable to interact with SCP-4956, and must rely on the other two individuals to move SCP-4956 from their eyeball's side.
1016
1017SCP-4956 has been known to engage in a variety of unusual actions, both physical and mental. These have been classified into two groups: SCP-4956-A and SCP-4956-B. The former includes actions including:
1018
1019Close Entrance to another living organism.
1020
1021Separate inputs of air within one's head.
1022
1023Air entered through another's nostrils
1024
1025Exposure of open wounds
1026
1027Vibration within an open part of SCP-4956's head (a plasma jet referred to as a "Thargoid pulse").
1028
1029Hearing of an animal within a contained human being, such as a grisly scene involving a chained animal. The reaction to this would lead to convulsions, and a resultant tendency to subject the affected human to SCP-4956's hallucinations. This was likely caused by SCP-4956's continuous exposure to SCP-4956-B.

1041A shoplifter suspected of stealing a Taser has been released on bail.
1042
1043Mohammed Rabbani-Balde began making a 911 call around 2:40 p.m. Saturday after stumbling upon one of Metro’s Tasers in a bag on a market.
1044
1045The firearm had been taken from a customer’s shopping cart inside a Walmart in Sudbury, Ont., during an ongoing brawl between Walmart employees and customers.
1046
1047"One of the employees saw it outside and said, 'Someone stole it,' and gave it to me," Rabbani-Balde told CTV Sudbury.
1048
1049He said that the Taser – an extension of the officer’s Taser pack and a popular tool used by Toronto police – was completely non-functional.
1050
1051Rabbani-Balde said he left the store, and did not touch the Taser itself.
1052
1053Police, however, were still interested in the weapon and launched an investigation. When Rabbani-Balde was stopped and detained by police, he said he confessed to stealing the Taser.
1054
1055Because Rabbani-Balde had not produced an ID, however, he was detained and charged with breaching probation.

1063Special Containment Procedures: Due to the presence of SCP-4956-1, the remaining area of Site-43 is under 24/7 surveillance. Any xenoephemeral objects are to be intercepted in transit, quarantined, incinerated by means of conventional flamethrowers, or otherwise contained outside Site-43. Holographic projections based on SCP-4956-1 are to be installed in common household devices via network interface cards, but at no time may xenoephemeral objects be taken or consumed, nor is electronic data meant to be transmitted via such projections or items themselves. Foundation-linked cellular cellular phones are to be disabled in affected areas and available instructions are to be provided for re-installation. Should a resident of an affected area violate any directive pertaining to SCP-4956-1, his or her mobile phone and cellular data plans have been designated with permanent copy protection. In addition, surveillance cameras are to be installed within all cases of SCP-4956-1 in order to record the presence of anomalous objects in that area. All personal data from family members, acquaintances, and neighbors is to be wiped and replaced with new instructions. Personnel with Level 3 clearance or above are also directed to stop conducting any research of nature.
1064
1065Description: SCP-4956-1 is an incomprehensibly complex notation of private information generated by the creation of certain string constructions. Instances of SCP-4956-1 are sufficiently intricate that both human computers and biological entities, even before thorough examination, can recognize them. Instances of SCP-4956-1 are fully consistent in terms of composition of all following strings, save for a minimum number of construction units made up of two identical strings linked together in a unique pattern within any individual string. Specimens of SCP-4956-1 may consist of up to a thousand symbols in only one value, some with various degrees of flexibility or repetitiveness, and while the number of possible strings is relatively high, the number of string constructions creating the same meaning is a carefully selected finite finite set. All strings of SCP-4956-1 possess a special origin. To date, SCP-4956-1 have been fabricated from various objects, including (but not limited to) so-called "laitereyd" (defined below), and cocorozoa-like organisms. SCP-4956-1's statistical properties vary in its contents and relationship to the underlying string constructions, reflecting a relationship which takes no account of such factors as divisibility and arithmetic progression.
1066
1067The correlations among the strings created by SCP-4956-1 follow the traditional mathematical relationship in which, among the various basic values, all corresponding strings have a greater degree of precision and perfection than any other strings. While such a distribution is robust for relatively low numbers of strings, the entropy of each string can vary considerably. The net result of all this is that the statistic of deviation from expected patterns can escalate exponentially, with rows of increasing deviation representing increasingly larger volumes of randomness contained within each row.

1073+Experiment Log of SCP-3927 -Experiment Log of SCP-3927 Test-3927-1: 12/9/1979 Results: Individual subject supposedly composed of "pentium metal" successfully referred to itself in the language of another culture as "brilliant." As SCP-4956-1 is entirely deterministic in its functions, there were no outcomes potentially outside the bounds of this experiment, as far as researchers were aware. Self-reference seems to have sublimated into enthusiasm. See Document-3927-2 Test-3927-2: 3/26/1980 Result: Subject seemed to have been deterred from any further self-referential activity. Subject (subject-1) identified only as a Caucasian male of average build. Subject wore standard neutral color clothes, with duplicate black and white shirts in his pocket that appeared identical at a distance. SCP-4956-1 appeared to be tracking the movements of subject-1. Task-force personnel assigned to prevent subject-1 from wandering off were effectively rendered impotent by the effects of SCP-4956-1. The following text is a transcript of the speech that the subject-1 produced during the interrogation and subsequently became too entranced to read or respond to: -1, -2, that can give me a glimpse of the infinite, of the beauty that my imagination has waited so long to achieve.

1079Special Containment Procedures: Standard site procedures for the containment of confirmed cases of fae are in effect. Personnel are to be informed that SCP-4956 is in containment at [DATA EXPUNGED]. Extensive communications are to be set up with the uncontained entities of SCP-4956 to ascertain their reasons for previously entering the use of SCP-4956 for purposes unknown. In the event that an entry is not fully explained, a containment breach may occur immediately, pending containment data upload.

1081In a containment breach scenario, evidence of this will be transferred to SCP-4998 in an effort to track and capture them.

1083Description: SCP-4956 is a portrait of Dr. Reina Henson, President of the Church of the First Evangelical Church, and a likely member of the Henson family. Within SCP-4956 is the text "Dr. Reina Henson, USAF (1931-2000)" on its front. The portrait of Dr. Henson appears similar to those of Mrs. Henson, and was created by a contemporary artist. The text is of the form "Dr. Henson, USAF (1931-2000), 1994. Pres. Prayer Meeting, The First Evangelical Church, [...]" at right margins.
1084
1085When SCP-4956 is viewed in a standard viewing position on the room wall, SCP-4956 is immediately used in conjunction with speakers. The speaker system will project an image of an apparent movie about the life of Dr. Henson. By examination of the image, the SCP-4956 users (currently translators of communications from SCP-4956) are able to provide input on how the movie should proceed.
1086
1087The voice acting is provided by members of a local vaudeville theater company, and the movies generally follow a twelve part serial film serial in which Dr. Henson confronts and defeats the Alpha-Number Two.
1088
1089The serial script for the episodes shown is semi-autobiographical, claiming to have been written by the contemporaneous congregation of the Henson family. Dr. Henson appears to be an undercover USAF Officer whose security clearance has been revoked for certain activities involving classified items. It is theorized that Dr. Henson may have crossed over in an attempt to assist the church against a government intervention.
1090
1091The VHS cassettes used to show the initial episodes of SCP-4956 were acquired from the church and brought to the Foundation after the serial was deemed to be anomalous.
1092
1093Following Dr. Henson's death in 2000, Dr. Henson's personal disc was recovered and impounded. The disc was analyzed for evidence of anomalous phenomena and classified as Keter. After hearing the real life situation of Dr. Henson, Dr. Henson's mortal remains were interred. Further analysis of the disc by The Foundation revealed that Dr. Henson was playing a game of Tetris with his computer. The anomalous audio does not contain nor affect this incident.

1181Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in a blind-firing chamber adjacent to a research lab to ensure regular rounds of classification tests are being administered. Currently, SCP-4956 has been entrusted with testing the effects of low-risk pokemon in inhabited caves. The object, contained within a capsule resembling a medium-sized squirrel, is permitted to wander freely around SCP-4956's containment chamber and are to remain out of the sights of personnel without permission.
1182
1183In the event that containment was breached and SCP-4956 escaped its containment chamber, personnel are to proceed with extreme caution. The object is to be called in for a classified test without authorization, causing it to escape and proceed to travel downwards towards the entrance, killing any personnel within the immediate area. In addition, in cases where the object has been out of containment for a short time or is in an area prone to teleportation, no personnel are to be present during any testing procedures.
1184
1185Description: SCP-4956 is a small squirrel-like object resembling a medium-sized squirrel. It is currently believed to be a non-anomalous member of the Banette Series, though testing has not yet established a genuine connection. SCP-4956 has been noted to have a very large amount of ferocity, a wide range of movement options, and a strong preference to explore spaces it perceives as empty. Outside of this purpose, SCP-4956 can be used to pass the test procedure if deemed necessary by its original controllers.
1186
1187As of documentation following transfer from Junior Researcher Nyajima to Dr. Sumiyoshi, SCP-4956 has been relegated to research of the “countrified” properties it possesses. It is believed that this species of squirrel originally developed their ability to perform such feats as scattering, memories, time displacement, countermeasures, and teleportation, by finding a body empty for extended periods of time and transforming it into a new one.
1188
1189The following are a partial list of SCP-4956’s movements:

1192
11931:32 pm: Confession: SCP-4956 explains the logic behind its abilities and describes its history. The object remembers moving through several caves and homes in the hopes of finding its original owner. The object indicates that these have been the only known places with low probability of containing a species of “countrified” squirrel, but has had little luck for about 30 years due to [DATA EXPUNGED].

1200
12011:04 pm: Investigation: SCP-4956 follows Dr. Sumiyoshi and Dr. Misako to their lab door. The moving arm in containment has been using to reach in for the object’s original controller, who is believed to be observing the research team quietly from the lab window. Misako believes that SCP-4956 has been tampered with, but Sumiyoshi expresses her complete trust in its individual controllers.
1202
120311:35 pm: Investigation: SCP-4956 follows Dischia in the lab, but is unable to reach her. A seemingly ordinary looking bird attacks it, but neither researcher fires a single shot at it before SCP-4956 begins moving backwards. Dischia is likely hiding in the air with the bird, as containment procedures require dispensers to be shot into the environment for testing purposes.
1204
120512:10 am: Movement/Walking
1206
12077:34 am: Moving arm in containment is torn off. Horrified Foundation personnel are forced to administer a small dose of Class-C Amnestics to prevent infection. Suspecting a similar virus in circulation, the object’s original controller steps outside and retrieves the limb for further testing. SCP-4956 cuts the arm with its middle and index fingers before its other fingers begin moving in the same manner, and is forced to hand it over to Dr. Sumiyoshi. Both pieces have been placed back into containment and are to be treated as a new piece.
1208
1209SCP-4956 has shown a more than twenty-fold increase in movement capabilities, and has been observed moving without the standard catch-all variables. For example, the object was apparently immobilized by its own fangs before they moved into critical areas, allowing it to escape containment with a single shot.
1210
1211Research into the proven ability of Countrified Squirrels to pass tests is currently underway. A causal link between low-risk pokemon and the shift in behavior has not yet been established. Further testing is necessary to confirm this as a fact.<|endoftext|>Appearing on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning, “Fox and Friends Weekend” host Tucker Carlson remarked that a Fox colleague’s theory that the U.S. attack on a Syrian

1217Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is currently stored at Site 55. It is to be kept in a secure hallway at Site 55, a neutral location and isolated from all other regions of Site 55. The casing of SCP-4956 is to be replaced every four years. On specimen's removal the casing is to be replaced immediately. Further information on SCP-4956's containment procedures is listed below.
1218
1219Description: SCP-4956 is a serrated light, approximately 5 cm in length, with a steep, dome-shaped spiraling curve approximately ███ cm in diameter. The object functions similarly to a fluorescent lamp, emitting light with an intensity dependent on the condition of SCP-4956-1 (see Addendum A). SCP-4956-1 is a variable indicator that appears to change periodically as though it were composed of liquid mercury, but at standard lighting levels this will not happen. Instances of SCP-4956-1 display in a manner similar to light intensities produced by all mercury vapor lamps, of similar intensity and frequency. However, while SCP-4956-1 varies, instances of SCP-4956 will also have a white radiating aura around them.
1220
1221SCP-4956-1 is a protuberance roughly ███ cm in diameter. This makes SCP-4956-1 difficult to remove without assistance. While personnel can penetrate the semi-transparent exterior using specialized tools, the interior is composed of a high voltage liquid mercury gas (HgCl 2 ) with temperature between ███ and ███ °C. SCP-4956's containment chamber is equipped with 21 bulbs arranged in a circle around a narrow area, forming a luminous circle at the base of the bulb. Three of these bulbs are located facing east, but only one (per chamber) can be lit at a time, while the remaining 12 bulbs are arranged in a 2 by 2 square.
1222
1223SCP-4956 was discovered in 1957, after a town under the control of the Communist Red Army was captured by the International Committee of the Red Army. As a tactical victory, the ICRC had discovered a number of subhumans experimenting with more advanced forms of biological warfare, among them a subhuman being modeled after a pine cone. This individual was found holding a lit magnesium dielectric bulb by its free end, which emitted pink light similar to that of SCP-4956. The individuals were thrown into a makeshift camp and detained. The following decade the event became known as the "Cinder of Hate," since the object was symbolically of the international organization of Central Committee (CC) representative Rosa Klimczak-Zechinger.
1224
1225For 8 years, SCP-4956 served in the CC's Experimental Branch. During this time SCP-4956-1 remained non-functional, but as documented through the appearance of photos, SCP-4956-1 burned through almost any metal or solid substance with its glowing aura, inflicting catastrophic amounts of radiation damage. The exact cause of this is unclear, but due to the effects and lack of recovery personnel SCP-4956-1 could not be removed. During this time, SCP-4956-1 would emit at least ██ seizures at will, causing ███ casualties.<|endoftext|>In order to guarantee his son a wonderful education, for 27 years Joseph Dwayne McPherson, a retired electrical engineer, paid about $20 a month into a campus fund. When McPherson retired, he took the college savings account and another one he had set aside in his will, so that he could pay for two master’s degrees in Philadelphia—in fine art history and graphic design.
1226
1227The College of Philadelphia then used money from the McPherson account to pay the tuition bills for their master’s programs, and decided that the money would be better spent instead paying student loans to a private company that teaches such courses.
1228
1229Then the money was used for a second degree—in classical art. A private college in the city, the Philadelphia College of Art and Design (PCAD), agreed to take on the work, and now the McPherson college trusts that their father would put up at least $150,000 if he were ever to die and not leave the family with enough to pay for PCAD. “We feel terrible that the gift is not being applied to student loans,” a PCAD spokesperson told the Star Tribune.
1230
1231Many wonder if the Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, in 2012 also used leftover money that may not have been appropriately saved from a family funeral fund to afford student loans for students, which caused great consternation among those with less money.

1241Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in a humanoid containment cell at Site ██. Personnel designated Site-37're is to be notified for tasks to ensure object's containment. A database search by personnel identified SCP-4956's recollection of the Foundation as an illegal criminal organization (see Addendum 3) and to ensure its DNA lineage matches with those stored in the database. SCP-4956-1 is to be kept under constant monitoring and to be fed 1 yogurt per day.
1242
1243Description: SCP-4956 (Vase of Habitual Despair) is a homelike humanoid that inhabits a jug similar to those used to make yogurt. The jug in SCP-4956's possession is unmarked, although numerous Foundation engravings appear on the base and handles. Exploration is permitted as long as SCP-4956 voluntarily identifies itself. The object has been known to adopt the scent of coffee. The jug displays its "own" smell consistently, although no physical remains of its past have been found.
1244
1245When SCP-4956 interacts with food or the environment within it, it continuously recites the numbered list of events with updated input. Each mention of a specific date is replaced by a repeat of the same information. Experimentation has shown that this is the result of SCP-4956 using a 4-digit number to record the time of event, but SCP-4956's memories have repeatedly shown to be entirely up to date.
1246
1247Attempts to measure SCP-4956's biological state have been unsuccessful. Physical input may stimulate the object and result in its responsiveness, however this has resulted in it violating containment limits. For example, cooking SCP-4956 results in it mentioning 5 or 6 specific events, without any additional memory of such events. Attempts to lure the object out of containment have been met with no success.

1251Jellyfish teeth belonging to SCP-4956 appeared on the surface of a nearby river. Dr. ██████ returned home one night to discover the water in his bathroom had been boiled. The security cameras inside his house captured several instances of the teeth, which he claimed to find in it prior to taking the bath.

1253Addendum 4
1254
1255The search for SCP-4956's last known appearance produced various accounts of the object from scribes associated with its cult, all of which listed the trip SCP-4956 took to Mars. A team was assembled to conduct further research, but was unable to obtain the entity's body in one piece. The search did, however, uncover ███ pages copied in Greek from what appeared to be an ancient-day scroll. They were found among the papers belonging to Count █████ ███████████, a member of SCP-4956's cult who was presumed to have died while working in Egypt and was buried with several of SCP-4956's notes. Upon further investigation, the pages were discovered to describe the trip SCP-4956 took to Mars, provided with still photos of the places mentioned. If SCP-4956 and the document in SCP-4956's possession are recovered, we are confident this information will provide us with more answers as to the nature of the entity.
1256
1257All photographs referenced in this statement were recovered from the priest, in the mummified remains of an ancient Greek temple in [REDACTED] ████████.
1258
1259We are certain this discovery will bring us one step closer to knowing more about our guests and visitors. Rest assured that further searching and studying will be given priority until our next break from securing the entity.

1269Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in a testing chamber measuring 10 meters by 10 meters. All personnel working on the project and the nearest Level 1 Researcher, as well as anyone working on a project pertaining to anomalous drugs, must not interact with SCP-4956.
1270
1271The main testing chamber is to be accessed via a standard elevator. Any objects of an anomalous nature are to be contained in standard lockers. Any personnel conducting tests using SCP-4956 are to be interviewed after each iteration.
1272
1273Description: SCP-4956 is a collection of 38 small, rounded objects wrapped in a cheap (differing between prototypes) cellophane film. The object's apparent purpose is unknown, but is most probably to be sold as some kind of "self-inducing" drug.
1274
1275SCP-4956-1 is a black oblong measuring 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters. When exposed to SCP-4956, it will begin to emit white noise within a radius of 2 meters. The noise will increase in volume as SCP-4956 is drawn closer to the chamber it is contained in. The change in tone within 5 seconds is extreme.
1276
1277SCP-4956-2 is a solid white orb measuring 6 centimeters in diameter. It will not affect D-Class personnel, but no D-Class personnel has successfully connected an extension cord into it. When a D-Class personnel has been hooked up, the sound is approximately 85% louder than normal, roughly equivalent to a college level lecture.
1278
1279SCP-4956-3 is a pair of spheres approximately 6 centimeters in diameter. The spheres will start to emit white noise when attached to SCP-4956-1. When connected, the sound will only increase in volume until SCP-4956-3 is separated from SCP-4956-1. Once separated, the sphere will spontaneously switch places with SCP-4956-1. The reversed effect occurs when SCP-4956-3 is connected to SCP-4956-1.
1280
1281SCP-4956-4 is a small white block measuring 5 centimeters in diameter. As SCP-4956-4 begins to appear on SCP-4956-1, the sound it produces will increase in volume until it reaches maximum volume. When attached to SCP-4956-1, SCP-4956-4 will stop emitting white noise and will slowly oscillate at an undefined frequency. The oscillation will vary depending on the power of SCP-4956-4.
1282
1283SCP-4956-5 is a white sphere 1.6 meters in diameter. SCP-4956-5 will be hit with SCP-4956-1 in its self-generated white noise, increasing in volume.
1284
1285SCP-4956-6 is a blue sphere 1.8 meters in diameter. SCP-4956-6 will randomly emit an audible burst. This burst will repeat one hundred times per second in one hundred different settings. Each burst will be different and disorienting.
1286
1287SCP-4956-7 is a white disc measuring 1.2 meters in diameter. SCP-4956-7 will randomly emit an audible burst. This burst will repeat one hundred times per second in one hundred different settings.
1288
1289SCP-4956-8 is a white disc measuring 5 centimeters in diameter. SCP-4956-8 will randomly emit an audible burst. This burst will repeat one hundred times per second in one hundred different settings.
1290
1291SCP-4956-9 is a white tennis ball 1.8 meters in diameter. SCP-4956-9 will randomly emit an audible burst. This burst will repeat one hundred times per second in one hundred different settings.
1292
1293SCP-4956-10 is a white plastic key made of common plastics. SCP-4956-10 will randomly emit an audible burst. This burst will repeat one hundred times per second in one hundred different settings.
1294
1295SCP-4956-11 is a white tortoise roughly 20 centimeters in length. SCP-4956-11 will randomly emit an audible burst. This burst will repeat one hundred times per second in one hundred different settings.

1309Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is contained in a standard human-shaped testing chamber, measuring 35m x 25m x 25m, which is positioned in the southeast corner of Site 19. The entire chamber is equipped with security cameras and audio monitoring systems to monitor personnel and wildlife movement within the building. Any staff observing objects having a value of more than 500 Swiss Francs may request for them to be removed from their sight, the request denied. Any cases of SCP-4956 appearing inside a human body will be recorded by security cameras and brought to Level 2 personnel.
1310
1311Description: SCP-4956 is a group of approximately seven (7) cadavers, ranging in age from the late 30s to early 60s. The body of each instance consists of flesh, nerves, and a small collection of soft tissue from the body cavity, similar to a first- or second-degree burns victim, though with a vital-size hole in its left thigh. All instances have varying amounts of fine wrinkles in their thigh bones and flesh, possibly brought on by the time-release mechanism they use to eject their bodily matter. Nonetheless, examples of SCP-4956 that had spent a significant period of time without an undamaged, functioning organ present were still able to eject their bodily matter without difficulty. Within five minutes of death, a black substance of varying dimensions and viscosity (based on length, width, and depth of the body cavity) will form around the location of SCP-4956. The interior of the cavity will expand outwards, leaving an indentation in the ground that decreases as the cavity expands. The cavity measures roughly 4m x 4m in length, 8m x 4m in width, and 7m x 5m in depth.
1312
1313During an eruption event, SCP-4956 will constantly eject its bodily matter (similar to that of maggots). The majority of the bodily mass, however, is from the waist up. The amount of material ejected varies greatly; subjects report that the constituent parts of their bodies are gradually filling out and coming together. The center of the cavity will expand outwards, while at least the bottom of the cavity will rotate to form a bulbous red structure. During the initial phase of an eruption, this structure is indistinguishable from a classical pit (similar in nature to the but see note 1). The interior of the chamber will fill with a fluid that appears to be similar to blood, though with a pH level similar to that of human urine (with pH of 3.5). Within fifteen minutes, a globule will materialize outside the central structure of the cavity, where it will continue to grow until the individual undergoes severe pain. Once the pain threshold is reached, the globule will burst, expending the majority of its bulk outside the body cavity. In the first stage of the explosion, the liquid will begin to separate from the gaseous outside of the chamber, transforming into a clear liquid. The liquid will then puddle around the globule, resembling blood and form a liquid rain. During the second phase of the eruption, the liquid will remain within the chamber. However, any metal objects within the chamber will cease to move within fifteen minutes, as blood and gore will drain from them. They will then reappear outside the cavity.
1314
1315The exception to the transformation of the liquid into a viscous blood-like substance can be seen in the videos of SCP-4956 instances during an eruption event. The cavity, with the exception of the globule inside, remains unchanged. Outside of this chamber, the room within is left as normal, although only the cloud is visible during an eruption event. Prior to an eruption event, the ethanol inside the chamber will evaporate and can be seen in a shadow. However, after an eruption event, the shadow dissolves and the room appears normal as if the interior had been painted over. Once the pane of glass around the chamber has been broken, the liquid inside the chamber will reform and cover any metal objects within the chamber and its walls, creating a massive blood-soaked suit of armor. This will appear white, preventing the metal objects from perceiving it as harmful and rendering them unable to move, with steel and ceramic parts at the extremities expanding upon contact with the liquid. Once the liquid has become thick enough to cover the object, the liquid will begin to emit light from the object's arm, that of the arm's sleeve, and the missile pod arm, creating a thin luminous replica of the desired light source. In the final phase of the event, the suit appears to have transformed into light similar to that of a lightbulb. The size and type of light source is random, producing many different combinations depending on the material of the light source and material of the molten cavity. The resulting light source produces a luminous spectrum as vague as that of either stars or black cataclysmic explosions. The size and type of light source available

1321Special Containment Procedures: As part of an ongoing effort to refine and understand SCP-4956, every single instance of SCP-4956-2 as well as a task force of 20 agents has been placed under surveillance. Each agent is also assigned a designated point of entry with which to monitor SCP-4956-2 through a standard watchtower. All surveillance stations have been connected to each other through a series of radiators to make the process as smooth as possible. It is crucial that D-class personnel are strictly checked for signs of stress or adverse physical conditions prior to SCP-4956's execution, as it is widely believed that stress is the primary cause of termination during SCP-4956 executions. Personnel are also required to report any changes in mental status to their assignters within 24 hours.
1322
1323All corpses will be incinerated at the site of execution.
1324
1325Description: SCP-4956 is the collective designation for a series of deadly ritual murder vests with visible scorpion designs. These vests were manufactured sometime in the early twenty-first century and are carried by numerous members of the █████████ ████ cult, with particular references to the [REDACTED] cult. The vests are completely anomalous, as all alive members of SCP-4956-2 are simultaneously under the mental and physical control of SCP-4956.
1326
1327Each instance of SCP-4956 contains multiple sets of symbiotic polyps, which feed on the arterial supply of the wearer. As the symbiotic polyps decay, they cause the deaths of any human who has not been subjected to SCP-4956-2. A cultist wearing an instance of SCP-4956 under his or her clothing does not require any external input to complete a ritual execution, though about 50% of the victims are observed to be able to carry out actions necessary to complete the ritual. Although any point of incapacitation during the ritual is capable of ending the execution, this proves to be difficult for SCP-4956-2 because of its visceral nature and ability to adapt. All victims at the site of execution are presumably terminated spontaneously through a secondary disease, rather than having a visual penalty be applied to their bodies. It is also possible that SCP-4956-2 has become more vital with time, as the polyps can produce large quantities of blood which the SCP-4956-2 bodies cannot feed on.<|endoftext|>(CNN) Donald Trump on Sunday had to walk back a declaration that his rival Bernie Sanders will get the blame for a California-wide voter registration purge he attributed to the senator's campaign.
1328
1329Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Trump reiterated a pledge to stop illegal immigration and reiterated that people on the "right" should be able to vote, but suggested that the Sanders campaign was the source of the problem -- a complaint echoed in a recent Clinton campaign memo.
1330
1331"If somebody decides to register by the date, they should not be allowed to vote," he said. "The Democrats do a pretty good job and I think they will report a lot of the problem."
1332
1333Trump was speaking to Fox News host Chris Wallace, who asked what Trump's strategy was to prevent "people who are illegals, aren't naturalized, aren't registered, from voting?"
1334
1335"Well, it's pretty bad," Trump said. "Now, in the weeks -- and there's some people going to court to fix this. They're going to fix the problem. I guess the reality is they were totally guilty of registering people."

1339“Gun Free Zones” are anti-gun leftist measures that prevent law-abiding citizens from exercising their constitutional right to bear arms. Anyone with a basic understanding of American history would be aware of the first federal gun right: the right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment specifically declares “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. It does not, and should not, include “the right of the people to keep and bear fireman’s rifles…”
1340
1341Gun Free Zones are cities and towns designed to make it difficult or impossible for people to defend themselves and their families. They deprive the citizens of their rights, for at least some of their residents are not even paying taxes to benefit the city government. Would you want to live in such a community? Would you want to have to drive thousands of miles from your home each month to see your children while they were born? Would you even want to go into your own home to reach your own children when they are sleeping? If so, you know how bad it can get. That’s the lawless part of the story.

1349Special Containment Procedures: Each printing table is required to be accompanied by a personalized Report. The Report must specify details pertaining to the printing of the item being reproduced and contain specific information regarding the likelihood of a similar event occurring in the future. Printing tables must be checked for disruption regularly to ensure that no new listings can be created with a naming pun. All tables must be tagged so that someone with administrator authority can verify the object’s lineage. Materials deemed contaminated for reproduction will be destroyed and the materials in its containers incinerated.
1350
1351Description: The printing table is a rectangular-shaped table formed of a stainless steel frame and several glass panels that is capable of displaying four different posters. The table is normally devoid of any mechanical parts, but when part of the table is broken or damaged, it will begin to display a different poster. In normal cases, the table exhibits only three posters, each having a stylized animal and with the iconic image of the American talking mouse, Mickeysaurus maniculatus.

1353SCP-4956-A is a 44-year-old female gray or blonde-haired woman that is anomalously intelligent and displays very high concentration, hyper-sensitive to pain, extremely versatile in skills and abilities, and capable of rapid and consistent enunciation. Interviews with SCP-4956 indicate that she views the poster depicting herself as a cultural figure, the centerpiece of her life, and the foundation of her identity. She considers it to be her "first poster," the very heart of what has made her alive. She identifies all three paintings of herself as "their cartoon" and regards them as a pastiche of her works, while her reaction to each poster as it appears on the table has a history and meaning based on the original event in her life.
1354
1355SCP-4956's influence on the cultural legacy of her species is being recognized by ██████’s Museum of Contemporary Art. The museum has begun a history of Muriyama Hiroshige paintings as a way to record the influence SCP-4956 has had.

1357Addendum 4956-01: In response to reports of structural damage and fire, Foundation agents were dispatched on ██/██/15 to help evacuate the floor. Firefighters successfully extinguished the blaze and gave medical treatment to several Foundation personnel. The resulting damage to the printing table was not deemed to be dangerous or out of hand.<|endoftext|>A not-for-profit association of cinemas that has operated in Japan since 1946 has posted a third drop in visitors over the past year.

1365© Japan Today<|endoftext|>The sinking of the Twin Towers on 9/11 was on a scale not seen in the US or the UK before. The number of New Yorkers killed, as well as the number of injured, was unprecedented. Even once the smoking gun of the official narrative was exposed, the evidence never did stop growing. This was an all too familiar story in the Iranian-American community. It has not disappeared from consciousness, and the many accounts of those who witnessed the collapse of the Twin Towers continue to reverberate across the nation.
1366
1367Rather than unravel the truth of what happened that day, the media has largely united behind the 9/11 conspiracy theory. Adherents take a very literal meaning for what is supposedly a conspiracy theory; conspiracy theorists view the 9/11 attack as something entirely unforeseen and entirely conspiratorial. 9/11 conspiracy theorists hold that it was deliberately and planned by elements of the Bush administration and a group of shadowy international entities seeking to start a war with Iraq.
1368
1369The enemy that 9/11 conspiracists fear to see is Middle Eastern people, Muslims in general, Arabs in particular. Today, however, these fears no longer flow from out of any thought out analysis; they emanate from a literal interpretation of events. It has become routine to label any mention of terrorism, of the geopolitics of war, of the Bush administration, as being somehow “anti-Semitic.” In this way, the attack on the Twin Towers has been used as a form of quasi-religious mobilizing for the Israeli state and the promotion of an Orientalist vision of the Middle East. It has not been until more recently that anyone has challenged this interpretation and sought to expose a problem that persists even today; the overwhelming significance that 9/11 is associated

1374
1375Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in a 5x5m metal mesh chamber, suspended in a glass and plastic media cube with a steel support beam, located in the basement of Site 25. The chamber has eight spaces with vertical openings on the north and west sides. Instances of SCP-4956 are to be constantly monitored by remote, be they for the purpose of testing their sapience or monitoring the effects of standing in the room at nighttime. All tests are to be performed by a fourth party equipped with a record recording system and competent memory retrieval technology.
1376
1377Description: SCP-4956, known to modern humans as Simon Atwater, is an instance of a persistent but variable hymenopteran species (plural: species), characterized by a large tail, a loose limb skeletal structure, and a missing right leg. The total length of SCP-4956 may range from 1.1 meters at birth to 1.7 meters in adulthood; the maximum width of SCP-4956 varies from 400 to 1.2 meters. SCP-4956 is capable of flight and can aggregate into flocks or swarms with up to 100 instances.
1378
1379When found at random locations and dark interior areas of a house, SCP-4956 manifests as a female cat (a.k.a. █████ ███████). SCP-4956 will approach the sleeping subject, intubate the patient, and gradually lose consciousness until the cat finds its way into the patient's mouth or jaw, or through one of several openings in the room. The cat will then forcibly take control of the subject's body, violently attacking any object or person in the patient's possession until the cat removes itself and falls out of the patient's mouth or jaw. If the cat finds an opening, it will only leave when the subject is motionless, otherwise it will remain within close proximity. The cat will forcibly remove any object it finds from the patient's possession, most often leaving them with welts or scratches. The subjects will always remain conscious during the entirety of the attack, with the exception of the first few instances seen, when subjects become slightly confused or erratic.
1380
1381SCP-4956 is sapient, but has shown no signs of sapience during experimentation. The closest SCP-4956 came to sapience prior to its containment was when one of the cats had a loose leg and required to be leashed. Following an unsuccessful attempt to trap the cat, Foundation personnel subjected SCP-4956 to repeated testing, and it was discovered that its body matched its anatomy. Following the testing, Foundation agents confiscated all physical evidence relating to the remains found in the cat's stomach. In reality, the remains were left by SCP-4956 as an experiment to see if a lost limb of SCP-4956 would still attract other SCP-4956 instances, given that the cat would spontaneously start attacking anything with a limb missing if the limb could have been found again.
1382
1383SCP-4956-1 is a physical representation of SCP-4956, located within the [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-4956-1's eyes resemble a photo negative of SCP-4956-1, and are situated near SCP-4956-1's mouth, where SCP-4956-1 will hold its teeth and tongue before attempting to consume any object or person in its vicinity. However, regardless of SCP-4956-1's whereabouts, the damage caused by SCP-4956-1 is the same whether or not the patient is present. If SCP-4956-1 is in the room during an instance of SCP-4956, the limb of SCP-4956 will be found both inside and outside the mouth, but almost always located on the far side from SCP-4956-1. Should the cat remove itself from the patient and remain in the room, SCP-4956-1 will provide the patient with a tube capable of drawing blood. If the cat is removed, the tube will disappear and SCP-4956-1 will return to the original position. Further testing has been suspended indefinitely.
1384
1385Testing involving D-class personnel currently have yielded mixed results, though the death rate has greatly decreased in comparison to similar tests involving D-class personnel who have not yet experienced SCP-4956's effects.

During this time, a Foundation agent retrieved SCP-4956-1 and transported it to Site 25, where it was contained in the basement of a building. This date is typically designated as ██/██/████.

1393Special Containment Procedures: Scranton Roller Rink, Foundation Area 70
1394
1395Description: SCP-4956 refers to an existing re-purposed roller rink, located on Scranton, Pennsylvania, that has been purposefully constructed to enhance its anomalous properties. It is also known to be located in approximately the closest warehouse to Four Corners Target. According to the player, SCP-4956 has been powered by solar energy since time immemorial. The current owner of SCP-4956 is a long-term employee of the local steel manufacturing company, Niles Steel.
1396
1397SCP-4956's anomalous properties take effect the moment it is functioning, with all shifts running normally through human brains. Additional anomalous events include heightened sensory processing speed for the area that contains SCP-4956, increased eye contact recognition, and increased locomotive capacity. Outside of these anomalous properties, SCP-4956 is inhabited by flora, fauna, and inanimate objects that are large enough to reliably fit through its skateboard holes, but are not shielded by the walls of the rink. Most of the object interactions are mild, but every time there is a violent interaction with other objects or creatures, SCP-4956 experiences a behavioral change corresponding to that entity. Any entity that attempts to enter the rink will have its level of discernment greatly reduced, resulting in many light knocking against objects and people, as well as bumps along the tunnel. SCP-4956 has also been known to destroy cobblestone and crushed lime over periods exceeding 30 days. As of date, although the ranger will remove the bathroom fixtures, the locker room was never monitored, thus more than likely the locker was left on during the history of SCP-4956. During these times, the level of contact between human brains and SCP-4956 increases dramatically.
1398
1399SCP-4956 requires all personnel access. Incident Description: In 24°██'██" and 09°██'████" of 2012, a number of persons experienced mistreatment under the influence of SCP-4956, ranging from mild pain to mild panic. Only one individual was able to recall these interactions upon retrieval, which resulted in intense discomfort, and an urgent search by SCP-4956's containment force. Four (4) human brains were extracted from the site and D-class personnel were brought in for experimentation. It was found that SCP-4956's perceptual effects only occurred upon contact with its target's brain, however the specific type of contact has yet to be determined. SCP-4956 did not appear to adhere to targets' dissociative personalities, and always acted in accordance with the currently held beliefs of the target.
1400
1401After the extensive testing involving D-class personnel concluded with researchers concluding that a number of them can operate SCP-4956 under the effects of severe strangulation, several D-class were scheduled to be put through the gas chamber before being terminated. A final display was held prior to a possible termination of one of the test subjects, when they were allowed to feed on leftover food. In order to activate SCP-4956, you use a small straw to turn on the gas and have D-class attempt to feed one another. Of course, about 10% of the D-class tested will come forward to try to feed. They always ask how to activate it. When told to just use the straw and keep it that way, they still answer that they need to look for it. Obviously, this does not work. All 14 D-class testers can only be described as incoherent, sometimes and excessively and often to anyone within about 1 meter of them. These movements always include amounts of motion suggestive of flight. They still move slightly when they eat, however.
1402
1403It was found that no photograph taken since the discovery has shown the test subjects as they looked prior to the activation of SCP-4956, leading researchers to conclude that SCP-4956 exists only to carry out its manifest goals.
1404
1405Addendum: Subsequent tests were terminated due to the problem with some of the subjects seeming to be on another, remote level of reality than the others. While SCP-4956 is actually far into another plane of existence in that instance, measurements of its transit speed did not change over the course of the week.

1419Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in a locker of Level 2 Containment assigned to the Department of Food Security. On-site security is to monitor the locker for consumption and on-site surveillance of the perimeter is to be performed in the event of an emergency.
1420
1421All personnel working on SCP-4956 are to be on Type-AB Two clearance or higher and are to be trained to intervene in all circumstances where a disclosure breach is expected. Contact with SCP-4956 is to be maintained at all times; personnel are to be informed of the nature of SCP-4956 and are instructed to be neither hostile nor inquisitive when encountering it.
1422
1423Description: SCP-4956 is a 1960 Ford Thunderbird. TENACIOUS LEGS, which can change in size at will, protrude from the cabin and side panels. On-site personnel have repeatedly observed SCP-4956 to be enclosed in decorative glass when shut and the skin of the vehicle to remain secured to the interior when opened. The interior of SCP-4956 does not match that of the exterior and is rectangular in shape.
1424
1425Whenever no consumption of SCP-4956 is anticipated, personnel close the doors to SCP-4956 and turn it to its unoccupied position, and trigger a piece of the automobile's mechanism. The mechanism consists of a drill, 4 evenly-spaced keys, and a cassette attached to the keys. SCP-4956's back doors open, and SCP-4956's lower grill is released. SCP-4956's hood is split open in such a way that the keys can be inserted into the bottom of SCP-4956's lower grill, where a set of keys fuses open the mechanism.
1426
1427The mechanisms' mechanisms have been consistent over the last ██ years of SCP-4956's containment, except that the keys for each mechanism are uniformly the same and have remained in SCP-4956's spare tire compartment since containment began in July ████. The player stops playing music and does not allow further playing.
1428
1429On ██/██/██, SCP-4956 had to be transported for routine maintenance to maintenance personnel found during the process, but the vehicle's tank was located in a restricted area. A breach in containment resulted in a disclosure of SCP-4956, and personnel to retrieve SCP-4956 from the storage room of a SCP Foundation lab of similar design. Scans of SCP-4956's storage and replacement locations on document 1768.1 found that SCP-4956 does not change when moved.
1430
1431Foolproof containment procedures are required to prevent self-entrapment of SCP-4956, as its vehicle itself seems to contain a strong network of doors and vents that makes it difficult to remove SCP-4956. Self-entrapment is currently being considered for SCP-4956 to be completely removed and its records deleted.
1432
1433Addendum: On ██/██/██, an SCP lab technician was killed while trying to remove SCP-4956 from its vehicle's internal compartment. The method used to remove SCP-4956's car however was found to be hazardous and has been resolved to continue to contain SCP-4956.
1434
1435Addendum: On ██/██/██, 3 SCP researchers departed from the lab to assist with the movement of SCP-4956 into a new construction site, which had not been secured to any combination of its secondary entrances. Despite the O5 Council's instruction against this move, a matter of negligence caused these researchers to leave their compound, and the four or five members of Foundation security personnel assigned to the facility were assigned to cover the installation of additional security devices.
1436
1437SCP-4956 was found hiding in a metal barrel in the basement of the new construction site. Additional security measures were immediately deployed and the Foundation immediately suffered the brunt of the incident, containing the anomalous vehicle only after the Foundation brought in some demolition equipment.
1438
1439More samples of SCP-4956 are expected, but they have not been found since early ██/██/██. Only D-class personnel appear to be of benefit to the Foundation's efforts. Addendum: On ██/██/██, the Site Director reported that 37 copies of documentation for SCP-4956 are now available. Currently, 9 of the documents have been processed. 26 are related to SCP-4956's containment, and the remaining documents are itemized under instances of SCP-4956-A.<|endoftext|>Ailes hoping for a 'mystery of mine' to emerge with Fox chief Shepard Smith exiting

1451Special Containment Procedures: Class-A security personnel in post-industrial Portsmouth can be relied upon to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the SCP-4956 object. Should security at the object be compromised, personnel should expect one (1) level 3 emergency containment breach clearance before authorization is granted to respond. A registered pawnbroker for the same North Carolina town is to be contacted 24 hours before any breach, and requested to collect the SCP-4956 object before entering the containment zone. Should no local pawnbroker be available, a registered government business contact may be utilized. Should a breach necessitate a larger-scale response, the containment area for SCP-4956 is to include as much of Manchester as will be possible without inciting unrest. Constructed containment structures must be constructed throughout SCP-4956's containment area prior to containment breach. SCP-4956 and its containment area may not be destroyed. No further protocols may be invoked to contain SCP-4956 if containment breach leads to widespread civilian antagonism.
1452
1453Description: SCP-4956 is a dead tree sculpture composed of wood donated by a local carpenter and titled "Aerial Scrap" by a surviving local resident. The object's limbs and part of its trunk are left intact, due to being assumed to be mobile and untraceable. The underside of SCP-4956 appears to be firmly attached to an empty space in the bottom of the trunk. SCP-4956 measures 1.35 m in length.
1454
1455The main anomalous property of SCP-4956 is the ability to produce sap. The object can persist in this state until dropped from more than one (1) metre or until it is a target for an act of aggression, ending its anomalous properties. Following any act of aggression, SCP-4956 has a ten (10) second lifespan. Once SCP-4956 ceases to exist, it immediately begins to rot or otherwise produce maggots. Those produced by SCP-4956 usually consist of six (6) random fragments from SCP-4956, which appear to belong to SCP-4956 as a whole. Sap oozing from the trunk of SCP-4956 will remain attached to the object in perpetuity. Fragments from SCP-4956 that are unaffected by sap decay will appear to have been dropped by an errant child or child's voice. SCP-4956 also actively undergoes digestive, recycling, and rejuvenation processes.
1456
1457SCP-4956 appears to be animate, displaying signs of intelligence and sapience, as well as planning and reasoning based on events that have occurred prior to its current state. SCP-4956 recognizes its current surroundings, and reacts accordingly. SCP-4956 has demonstrated the ability to observe and record events within an area, draw conclusions from these, and assess a likelihood of future events in the area. SCP-4956 also includes detailed maps and instructions of itself. These maps can be recovered from SCP-4956.
1458
1459SCP-4956 is inherently hostile to all human and mammaloids, and will respond to threats, attacks, and observation of itself. SCP-4956's primary motivations are an individual's attachment to objects it has or loves, and motivation for suicide. SCP-4956 attacks living creatures, and attempts to attack deceased persons. First reactions to a threat include violent outbursts that can cause significant injury or death, and throwing objects and striking with physical force.
1460
1461SCP-4956's anomalous properties have been observed to occur in all types of environments, but especially around the abandoned school, ████████ High School, found in Manchester, New Hampshire. SCP-4956 has been made aware of every structure around ████████ by the SCP Foundation.
1462
1463SCP-4956 was first aware of Foundation presence, following a report from a Portsmouth government carpenter assigned to the area. It is unknown if the Foundation was informed of the school's destruction before SCP-4956's discovery.

1465Addendum: Initial Incident Log:
1466
1467Note: Incident 47-1 began at 8:29 AM on █/██/19██.
1468
1469+ Initial Incident Log - Incident 47-1 occurred at 8:29 AM on █/██/19██. During Incident 47-1, SCP-4956 was observed to attempt to blend in with surrounding areas, citing "the journey's still just starting" in regards to entering the adjacent alley. This makes the initial observation of SCP-4956 highly suspect, and once SCP-4956 entered the alley, several instances of SCP-4956 interacted with it.
1470
1471Instance #833: SCP-4956 did not immediately attack as it was aware of the Foundation presence and was still unknown by the Foundation. First observation of SCP-4956 was when it was overcome by SCP-4956's agent. SCP-4956 actually removed the agent's hat, and used it as a bat.

1479Special Containment Procedures: The Department of Arts and Entertainment is to keep SCP-4956 out of sight and out of mind and its properties under constant surveillance in its regular home in the Connecticut Mall in New Milford, Connecticut. Any writing and graphics referencing SCP-4956 are to be accounted for and turned over to Site-34 on designated weekly schedule.
1480
1481Description: SCP-4956 is an unsigned, thin , red and yellow inkjet printer-type printer with an estimated weight of 200 kilograms, with an internal part capacity of 12,000 sheets of paper. SCP-4956 no longer runs and is largely useless. When written on paper, SCP-4956 will erase any printed pages and reformat them as a flat sheet of paper. Repeated use of SCP-4956 will force SCP-4956 to start printing.
1482
1483When SCP-4956 is in effect, ink will pour out of the feeder and onto all surfaces it comes in contact with, particularly surfaces that are intersected by paper. SCP-4956 will also spread ink onto large letter and plain blackboards, pushing the original surface away. In partial sensory deprivation, specific surfaces and surfaces inside a room will seem as though they are experiencing total sensory deprivation and the paper supplies will often spread ink on them.
1484
1485When no such surface is present or when any part of SCP-4956's operation is interrupted, an individual subject will begin to experience complete sensory deprivation. SCP-4956 will actively work to restore these senses. It will travel into places that may have had a stated sensory deprivation, by channelling the ink using several subsystems. Of particular interest is SCP-4956's printing subsystem.
1486
1487When the SCP-4956 subsystem begins to print ink in a specific area, they become aware of it. Subjects may report feeling as though they are seeing information instantly online, viewing important data quickly, and perceiving imagery in an instant from a variety of sources. These subjects may describe a wide variety of data within seconds that does not match any known physical reality or exist on other biological computers. Subjects often feel that they have long since recovered from their current senses. After about fifteen minutes of this sensory deprivation, subjects will begin to complain of extreme thirst and will become increasingly agitated. As the sensory deprivation continues, subjects will experience confusion, frustration, and increased arousal. After the sixteen hour mark, subjects will eventually die.
1488
1489When SCP-4956 is in the absence of any corresponding areas of sensory deprivation, it will periodically reassess where it has been printing for the last fifteen minutes. If this assessment shows the individual subject no longer has any objective sense, SCP-4956 will reverse itself and seek a sensory deprivation of similar duration. It will assess the amount of paint used and avoid printing in any area where it has used more paint than one usable sheet of paper.
1490
1491Addendum: The following is a log of the printouts that SCP-4956 has issued to test subjects, with corresponding areas of sensory deprivation.

They are very colourful and show images of animal swimming, jumbo flying birds, jellyfish, and longbows from various parts of the world. The last three prints were printed into an empty box and replaced by the first two. The box and square behind it shows a diamond moving in circles and exploding in a large explosion. The printouts were all printed for a period of fifteen minutes, with no effort to fix any of the prints or solve any of the problems that it began to cause.

1495B (large blackboard. The first twenty prints printed here are in black and blue. One of the prints is mostly blank while the remaining eleven are represented by rows of six blue papers, each spanning the width of the blackboard. The oldest print has not been used in a while, with one of the white sections still going and four side panels/new paint panels being reassembled. The appearance of these prints is similar to that of the first "boxes" printing but are in a completely different colour. Testing subject III tells us that the prints look as though they were made with a chemical printer.

1497C (white paper. The first two prints printed here are in white. They were printed on clear brown paper and represent the several colours of classical music. Testing subject X does not mention any tactile sense or movement but shows an increase in responses to music that counteracts the effects of the printouts.

1499D (blackboard. The first two prints printed here are in black. They represent poetry from Simonides, Euclid, and Thales, respectively. All three poetry pieces are in part based on the passage of time in a way that is much slower than the speed normally experienced in any other way. All three poems seem to hint at the existence of time, but each can only be given meaning in terms of this method, and some snippets

1502
1503Object Class: Euclid
1504
1505Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956-1 and SCP-4956-2 are to be housed within a secure 1 m x 1 m x 1 m containment chamber designated SCP-4956-1-M. Two 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm openings (one of which is connected to a 7 cm high 2 cm thick airlock) are provided for the coupling of SCP-4956-1-M to the ceiling.
1506
1507The inside of SCP-4956-1-M is to be thoroughly cleaned after each one-month break of exposure. Personnel guarding the enclosures are to wear personal protection equipment and eye protection during visiting periods. Due to the nature of SCP-4956, pictures of any living organisms are permissible. Exploration and SCP-4956 are only permitted outside of routine daily activities and in captivity.
1508
1509Description: SCP-4956-1 is a 29.76 m x 29.76 m brick-built structure situated across from a 9.5 m x 5.4 m house located approximately 1 km southwest of ██████, France.
1510
1511The object appears to be a camouflaged security post with lightposts located the far corners. It is constructed of local limestone and weighs a maximum of 1.1 tonne. SCP-4956-1-M, which occupies SCP-4956-1, is the only building on site. An internal staircase leads downward to the first floor.
1512
1513It is covered in graffiti including: "Keep calm. We guard what we love, and let us kill. We are nothing more than corpses." "We [sic] make our choices. We think, we decide."
1514
1515Research personnel have been unable to determine the content or origin of these writings, though reports from outside the site lead us to believe they are some kind of propaganda.
1516
1517On every floor there is a bed, desk, washing machine, and one sleeping chamber, designated SCP-4956-2. SCP-4956-2 has been stained black by damp floors and walls due to frequent use. Despite this, SCP-4956-2 is regularly occupied by one non-anomalous humanoid or adolescent male approximately 5.3 cm in height.
1518
1519Two 15 cm x 15 cm observation windows are located above each sleeping chamber. Due to its inability to sleep or be comfortable, SCP-4956-2 is typically drowsy for 5–7 hours each day. Its sleep patterns are non-theistic in nature.
1520
1521When people within SCP-4956-1 are exposed to random images, these will eventually initiate a shift in a person's perception of reality. It is uncertain if the images within SCP-4956-1 cause this reaction. This phenomenon is characterized by SCP-4956-1-M instructing the subject to "let go of fantasy" and begin accepting the existence of reality. Once the subject has "let go" of this belief, they are immediately monitored. A team of Foundation Personnel is assigned to ensure that the subject is not placed in another SCP-4956-1-M. This procedure normally only occurs when an initial exposure of a subject to SCP-4956-1 occurs. Once contained, they will undergo trials of behavioral modification. After the subject has undergone numerous tests and is deemed psychologically ready, SCP-4956-1-M will be incinerated and the subject removed from the outside world. The second dormitory of SCP-4956-1 is used to house SCP-4956-2 and is equipped with smoke detectors and thermal imaging.
1522
1523Addendum: All of the subjects recently exposed to SCP-4956 experienced psychological trauma as a result of the initial exposure, and suffered significant issues with willpower. Experimentation into the genetics of SCP-4956 were halted after tests revealed that these were in fact severe cases of Asperger's Syndrome. Personnel have been transferred to large containment facilities which require only standard containment and physical restraints.
1524
1525Further research into SCP-4956 will continue.
1526
1527See Experiment Log: SCP-4956.
1528
1529Note: It has come to our attention that after initial containment of a subject, SCP-4956-1 and SCP-4956-2 will soon be reconstructed again. Due to the difficulty of the logistics of the project, we have concluded its continuation and are not seeking subjects for this form of exploration. We will be contacting the nearest SCP Foundation locker in an attempt to obtain any proof or memory of previous cases. ██████ ██████ (Effort led to the question of where the previous cases of SCP-4956 come from.) - Dungeon Staff<|endoftext|>The Darkside Laser Beam Weapon that will be fielded this fall is being dubbed the Aeroswift.

1533Object Class: Safe Euclid Non-anomalous Containment Procedures: Description: SCP-4956 is a poxvirus of unidentified origin. On physical examination, SCP-4956 stains the surface of its host upon contact and replicates itself to spread to any other host present. Infection and replication is created through normal viral transmission with no anomalous properties present. All individuals infected with SCP-4956 experience a two to four-hour-long diarrhea episode, followed by expiratory fecal incontinence. The feces exhibit SCP-4956-infected cell structures and exhibit spontaneous animate behavior, but these behaviors are not explained by any known pathogen. Caution should be used in handling SCP-4956-infected food. Description: SCP-4956 is a poxvirus of unidentified origin, identified through DNA sequencing. SCP-4956 is noted to have no pathogenicity or reproductive properties; it is considered a "class inert." Infection occurs through contact with the skin, mucus membranes, or mucous membranes of a human host, resulting in a two to four-hour-long diarrhea episode. The virus is self-replicating and propagates through cell structure, but appears to be non-viral in nature. It is rare for infection to cause fecal incontinence or abnormalities, as fecal waste is generally digested by the host. It is unknown why hosts start off with diarrhea if they are not infected, or why they feel discomfort upon completion of a diarrhea episode. Interspersed with feces, SCP-4956-infected cells show spontaneous bodily functions. These behaviors are not produced by the host, but occur during the disease. Subjects infected by SCP-4956 appear somewhat ill-tempered, possibly due to an overabundance of internal cellular processes, and may display explosive aggression and unpredictable aggressive impulses. Pathogenicity in SCP-4956-infected hosts is due to viral replication, biofilm, and eukaryotic microfossil growth, but the recent changes observed in the virus suggest that additional environmental mechanisms may exist to facilitate infection. Infected cells spread viral particles among each other, as evidenced by a decrease in cellular modularity. For every host a cell infected with SCP-4956 makes, it will also make one uninfected cell; infection of uninfected cells results in cell death. Infected cells can also make viable fetal cells, which can be reproduced in later phases of infection. For each uninfected cell, a cell infected with SCP-4956 makes one uninfected cell. In the absence of host tissue, SCP-4956-infected cells seem to exist as simple automata composed of free moving nuclei and an unspecified RNA fraction. Bioparticles can be easily produced from these cells, and cells can be separated from each other or destroyed completely. SCP-4956 can be spread to other hosts by handling infected food. Each infected host has to consume an equivalent amount of infected food to remain infected; therefore, deactivating a host usually results in the eradication of SCP-4956 from the system. In addition, SCP-4956 will not exist without an uninfected host, meaning that it is impossible to "self-terminate." Removing infected food from a human host, along with all infected individuals present, can kill the virus. Most affected individuals will subsequently die of starvation within a week. All individuals infected with SCP-4956 will be given a Class I Class-A amnestic treatment. Instances of SCP-4956-2 should be carefully incinerated; attempts to contain uninfected individuals or animals are unacceptable. Testing Procedure: Should experiments involving SCP-4956 be conducted, they should be designed to isolate infected cells from uninfected cells as thoroughly as possible. An uninfected human cell, prepared to confine infected cells, should be used as the subject for each experiment. A separation of infected and uninfected cells should be performed whenever possible, since infected cells are known to create offspring cells during replicative phase. The proper medium should be used for each culture cell sample, which should be separated from all other samples. The end of a water filter should be connected to a spring to collect affected samples; this should be done at the early stages of infection, prior to the onslaught of cell division. Incontinence should be carefully monitored, and abnormal incontinence should be immediately isolated. SCP-4956 should be restrained and sterilized whenever possible. If a request for subjects to be administered SCP-4956 is made, subjects should not be given external attachments, such as alcohol.<|endoftext|>About

1541Special Containment Procedures: The location where SCP-4956 was discovered has been deemed a major public safety hazard. In order to prevent future disruptions of city operations, Dr. ██████ has been placed in charge of it. Communications with the vicinity are also controlled. All media content of incident should be contained at the nearest copy center. A cap has been placed on the loudspeaker and recordings disabled.
1542
1543All copies of Incident A-4956-1 must be replaced with alternate recorded versions. All discographies must be purged.
1544
1545Description: SCP-4956 is a string of 86/2-inch gold records, originally sealed with a wax seal, while they were displayed in an enclosed case in the ███████ Department Store, ███████, ██, starting at ████:██. Over time, several test prints were produced from SCP-4956-1, and these tests appeared on SCP-4956-1 from 1953 until after SCP-4956's discovery, with the exception of 1953 and 1953-A, in which other artists' test prints were used.
1546
1547During initial discovery, when Dr. ██████ was inspecting the case, he noticed SCP-4956-1 contained a reproduction of Richard Vaughan's famous painting "Christ of the Walls", which is dated to about 1951. SCP-4956-1 was immediately classified as SCP-4956-A after a subsequent record being successfully produced from SCP-4956-1. The record used at that time was made from the original, and was designated SCP-4956-B.
1548
1549Description: SCP-4956-B is a reproduction of Richard Vaughan's artworks, all of which are housed at the ███████ Department Store. All of these images are "original" to the laboratory in which they were created. The artworks' backs bear markings indicating that they were produced on ██/██/1947, and were made for a Time Life "Treasures of the Frontiers" limited edition catalog. All surviving copies of SCP-4956-B have undergone alterations of some kind during production, with labels of unknown origins and levels of relevance referring to its independent manufacture. Examination of the writing on the backs of SCP-4956-B indicates that it is in Foundation fonts.
1550
1551After initial discovery, the original SCP-4956-1 was placed in storage for security breaches. All copies of SCP-4956-B should be replaced whenever they are used, with similar records from any previous copies of SCP-4956-B created from SCP-4956-1. Any copies of the original SCP-4956-1 may not be used as part of any baseline experiment.
1552
1553Addendum 4956-A: SCP-4956-1 was lost on ██/██/2000 during a skirmish between Foundation agents and 4 destroyers. The destroyers' cruiser broke through Foundation lines and attempted to reach the submerged ship of the Spader Ironfist II, but was stopped by air strikes. Following several days of fighting, the destroyers managed to destroy the French microfilm printing press used to create SCP-4956-1. A CIB-4 patrolling ██████████ saw the battleship approaching an underground bunker, and alerted Schreiber, who then made the decision to abandon ship. As a result, the cargo aircraft with the stored SCP-4956-1 was diverted to divert attention away from the sinking ship, which apparently sank within a matter of hours.
1554
1555During the aftermath of the events described above, several hundred civilian citizens of ███████ were killed as a result of attacks by ███████'s citizens on Schreiber's ships, as well as public vilification of Schreiber throughout the town and the surrounding area.
1556
1557Addendum 4956-B: The recorded SCP-4956-1 has been recovered, and contains a full backup of SCP-4956-1, both non-custodial and Class-A. As of ██/██/2012, every instance of SCP-4956-1 from the original batch is in Foundation custody.
1558
1559Addendum 4956-C: The former location of SCP-4956 was discovered in ██████, ██ on ██/██/1956, where it was buried in an unmarked grave next to an unmarked grave of Emma Fagan , another unknown artist from the area who died from leukemia in 1943. From 1947 to 1950, an error of public misconception has been propagated that Emma Fagan is buried in SCP-4956-1. This perpetuates the public misconception that SCP-4956 is a local artist's collection, despite Foundation documents showing it was registered by J. A. Wahl, an unknown North American timber merchant, in 1959.

1567Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in a separate testing chamber and kept on a drip-feeding diet of live /ss/ [DATA EXPUNGED]. 24 hours before subject to testing, live 2-4hp motorbike exhausts are to be poured over SCP-4956’s body to minimize tissue trauma and "overfeeding". Following testing, SCP-4956 is to be transitioned to its standard Standard test feeding and dietary regimen until dissolving.
1568
1569Description: SCP-4956 is an unidentified man wearing a standard civilian brand military suit of lapels and zippers. SCP-4956’s face has been observed to generally be the color of natural human skin, though its skin tone appears to range from unmelted olive to porcelain. SCP-4956 weighs approximately 141kg (395lbs) and is approximately 62.5cm (25’) in height. As of the present time, SCP-4956 can lift 2-4hp (currently approximate) automobiles and propel the automobiles in a manner consistent with a light powered motorcycle. SCP-4956's limbs have a mechanism to allow it to hoist these automobiles high into the air or to roll over flat terrain.
1570
1571SCP-4956 was recovered from [[███████|0█-██]00] and placed in a containment cell beneath Site-[REDACTED|███████], although no breaches are currently anticipated. The current estimated age of SCP-4956 is between 50 and 60 years. SCP-4956’s history is currently unknown, though initial interviews suggest that the subject has been homeless and intoxicated for at least the past two decades. The subject was found in an abandoned warehouse near the border of [[████████|███████]].
1572
1573SCP-4956’s anomalous properties have been observed to manifest in four ways:
1574
1575(1) SCP-4956 can lift automobiles to an estimated height of twelve meters at the rate of 1.5 meters per second. SCP-4956 can also apparently power these automobiles for a period of approximately 4.8 seconds without decomposition and 3.5 seconds in the air. The height and duration of these anomalous automotive abilities remains unknown at this time.
1576
1577(2) The use of automobile methods by SCP-4956 has been tied to the identity of the owner of the automobiles. SCP-4956 has been observed to perform operations such as replacing a significant portion of a prized automobile’s interior, replacing seatbelts, and hoisting several automobiles into the air from a height of more than four meters.
1578
1579(3) SCP-4956 can apparently pass through “solid” objects to its intended destination. SCP-4956 is known to climb walls, pull down sections of roof, pull down plaster, and even crawl beneath stone and concrete. SCP-4956’s anomalous methods have the capability to become more complex, such as lifting automobiles from underneath trampolines or through doorways.
1580
1581(4) SCP-4956 can apparently sustain great quantities of alcohol or other substances to an unknown level. SCP-4956 is known to consume a significant amount of ethanol, but is not currently known to consume specific narcotics or liqueurs. However, if consumed in amounts exceeding the equivalent of approximately two ounces of "normal" bourbon, the drinking can become an extreme and dangerous form of intoxication.
1582
1583Further experimentation with SCP-4956 is to be conducted in the coming days in order to better identify its anomalous effects.
1584
1585Addendum 4956-1: Interview Logs<|endoftext|>Last week we reported that the bullion market was in fact trading upwards of $1,000, that precious metals contracts were showing renewed bullish momentum, and that gold and silver “stakes” (record contracts) were within grasp of a new peak.
1586
1587That peak has been reached with higher prices. As noted in yesterday’s Cointelegraph article, we can now report the price of silver futures have now briefly topped $1400, which puts the precious metal level within striking distance of $15,000 and heralds the next price correction.
1588
1589The big question for silver today is if traders will take a cue from their recent experience with gold and cause the next correction or instead continue to chase higher.
1590
1591As the chart below shows, the green line (observational) represents the actual price level compared to levels posted after the “spike” of late 2014. Since then, the blue line (numerical-level) indicates the number of contracts outstanding, representing the levels “targeted” by traders, however, as of Thursday, silver appears to have surpassed the level being targeted.
1592
1593Because silver contracts to date have previously surpassed levels before and have positioned above these targets, this should rule out even meaningful action at the current levels

1599Special Containment Procedures: Foundation agents are to staff the administrative offices at [REDACTED] and the High School of Global Technology until further notice, treating individuals attempting to enter through designated boundaries as well as those leaving the premises. Should an entity alter its environment, the nearby Foundation agents are to immediately fire flares with high-powered magnification devices and immediately classify them as hostile. After approximately two weeks, high-powered magnification devices and miniature telescopes are to be used in monitoring SCP-4956 and advising Area Director over email of SCP-4956's physical situation. Should Area Director receive these reports, all personnel are to relocate to Site-██ or a secure location within the Security Wing.
1600
1601Description: SCP-4956 is a defenseless entity located in Sector-██ of Site-██. While stationed at Sector-██, it emits a dizzying light very similar to laser pulses, which can be seen by an attached camera and spectroscope. This light affects any entities or objects within sight of it. Due to the immense power and precision of the entity's laser, SCP-4956 can change a radius roughly one and a half kilometers in diameter around itself in less than fifteen seconds, and SCP-4956 is thought to be capable of doing the same. At an average distance of approximately one kilometer, a light pulse of just two milliseconds in duration, and an average pulse length of two centimeters, can dissipate all traces of whatever is visible in the radius, except for the physical surroundings of the entity's physical appearance.
1602
1603While in this state, other humans are unable to discern the details of the physical appearance of SCP-4956. There are exceptions, however. Due to the nature of the effects created by the light, a large portion of a human being's sensory organs are affected as well. Depending on the intensity of the light pulse and the volume of area it can affect, this results in a range of physical abilities within the human body to the exclusion of other organs.
1604
1605SCP-4956 is currently classified as an especially dangerous security threat by the Foundation. An attempt by a subject to enter SCP-4956's area of effect and leave will be regarded by an Area Director of Site-██ as an attack. Once an attack has been reported, all Foundation agents in the area must contact the current Area Director and report the subject's body, SCP-4956's position, and the amount of damage inflicted. Within ten minutes of this, all areas affected by SCP-4956's light pulse will be emptied of any living humanoids found within. Personnel who fail to return within two days will be marked as missing and will likely be encountered by their family members.
1606
1607Addendum 4956-1: In the absence of adequate agency resources and personnel, a contingency plan was devised to deal with SCP-4956 and its effect on the surrounding area. Under this plan, all scanners in Site-██ will be redirected to SCP-4956's area of effect. In addition, area directors who find any bodies and have seen a blue screen with the following text: "This is a signal not to enter SCP-4956's area of effect," will be ordered to hand their body back to Site Director. No body found in this process will be considered alive and under Foundation custody. If Foundation agents are forced to enter SCP-4956's zone of effect, they will be directed by area directors to Foundation custody. Individuals that have been exposed and who have no markings on their body will be dismissed from the Foundation and will be informed that their evidence is worthless.<|endoftext|>The long-running Border Crossings, Handicap Access and Support Program is a national program that enables people to travel to and from the United States and Canada without having to undergo a physical or security screening.

1625Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in an identical locker to its Class A host. The locker is to be opened at least once a week and stored in a Class C storage room below the immediate surface. Under no circumstances are watches not to be checked. Logs of instances in which the contents of the room of storage have been inadvertently displaced via SCP-4956 are to be retained and forwarded to SCP-4956.
1626
1627Description: SCP-4956 is a watch which is entirely made of tin. Its movement is Russian made, with a horizontal balance on top of the movement for displaying a complete battery-powered night-time analogue timepiece. The screws on top are regularly ground down to leave a large amount of ungrounded broken-off bits. The time displayed is adjusted using the smaller white globe and a matching black and red dial. The clockwork is capable of utilising any available electricity or lumen, though it is unable to perform a full function when the batteries, motors or other electrical components have been damaged or removed. Radiometric timekeeping is also within the scope of the anomalous properties of SCP-4956. After testing, SCP-4956 has been collected and housed in our standard display unit, which is commonly used to house any other micro-peripheral items. It contains an additional magnet on the underside. This magnet is designed to prevent SCP-4956 from being disfigured when exposed to solar radiation.
1628
1629During midnight, SCP-4956 will increase in size and mass, it becoming the size of a full control panel. All wires present will wire themselves on the changing scale with the screw-work giving way at the end of the hour to engage with the switch on the right of the right dial. If a breaker at the end of the control panel is closed, it will open back up and the hour before its previous 9:00 PM hour will repeat until ███ hours have passed. SCP-4956 is usually upright, though it will rise if the controls are opened and move into a sitting position should a problem be present. At this point the rotation will be accurate to within one half-day. When stationary the face of the watch will display the current time and number of minutes left on the day. If by noon the controls are fully opened and no noticeable problem is present, SCP-4956 will remain in this position until midnight, at which point it will relocate with the help of a hatch beside the desk and set itself upon the other side of the control panel.
1630
1631The addition of thermal imaging to the watch has previously been used to prevent SCP-4956 from becoming unsuitable for hours past its time, however it is advised that at least one observer is present during any tests to confirm that the temperature within the control panel is at a comfortable level. Should SCP-4956 reach anywhere near 100 degrees Celsius, its activation will cause both temperature and luminosity fluctuations to radiate outwards from the watch. This occurs in the form of light bolts leaving the watch, although temperature variations can occur to extreme levels, as well as increasing the voltage of the internal supply. The brightness of these lights are constantly increasing but are only visible in low-light environments. Once SCP-4956 has been retrieved from its activity, the light has a compulsion to converge upon its floor.
1632
1633When operating the clock is subject to the following conditions:
1634
1635All ungrounded bits of screws removed from the top of the watch. While mechanical watches cannot withstand a temperature decrease below 10 degrees Celsius, SCP-4956 continues to function correctly once the clocks within the control panel are activated.
1636
1637All loose batteries have been replaced with fully charged batteries. When asked if SCP-4956 would be returned to storage, Dr. Julian LeMay suggested that it may be useful for small objects as an "emergency timepiece", as illustrated in Incident SCP-4956-C1: <Begin Log.> Foreword: Because of the location of SCP-4956, Dr. LeMay suggested that temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius within the control panel may affect the appearance of SCP-4956's display. <End Log.>
1638
1639SCP-4956 is to be researched by Foundation researchers to increase its usability for use in research. If additional research is needed to provide more instances of SCP-4956, subjects should be implanted with ████████ Class Amnesiacs to allow them to relinquish control of SCP-4956 to a remote individual under supervision.

1651Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell, with a closed work area connected to air vents and capable of being monitored by video and audio monitoring systems. All work areas must be equipped with spare components for proper maintenance.
1652
1653A number of security measures are to be in place at all times. CCTV footage should be recorded at all times, and anyone requesting transport or assistance to a hospital or another source of medical attention must request consent from the site supervisor before they are allowed to enter the containment area.
1654
1655Lab procedures regarding the physical examination of SCP-4956's body are described below.
1656
1657Description: SCP-4956 is an adult male human male, approximately eight years of age. SCP-4956 possesses long, lean limbs, similar to those of a grizzly bear. SCP-4956 possesses six well-formed canine teeth, however, which protrude from its mouth, and are normal in size, shape, and length.
1658
1659SCP-4956 is able to breathe air at 100 CFM, though it lacks regular lungs to do so. SCP-4956 has shown that it is able to open its mouth to add air without the aid of air, and appears to require air to breathe. SCP-4956 is currently known to feed on animal flesh, though tests have shown that it is not very selective in the sources it feeds on. Foundation-sponsored testing has proven that SCP-4956 requires at least one litre of air to survive each day.
1660
1661Should any of SCP-4956's extremities become injured, they will begin to "walk" to one of the two working surfaces. When this occurs, SCP-4956 will attempt to perform the movement, by walking forward a distance equal to about 50 cm, then back, and occasionally stop. After all of SCP-4956's extremities have become injured, SCP-4956 will regain full mobility. These walking movements have been likened to human wheeling, or similar exercises. SCP-4956 has demonstrated incredible mobility in its walking patterns. When at rest, SCP-4956 can travel at a rate of 60 km/h in its walking patterns.
1662
1663Prior to containment, SCP-4956 had demonstrated considerable abnormal movement and abilities. Close observation reveals that SCP-4956 will often tend to stretch out one of its arms and bend its other appendages to perform a number of tasks. Examples of such tasks include sweeping the ground up with its right arm, or digging for roots with its left arm. There are also instances where SCP-4956 will lean on his legs, as if contemplating a leap.
1664
1665Once SCP-4956 enters a space closed by compressed air, it will begin to mimic a crow's wing. It will then extend its right wing, and begin to lift itself off the ground, using its wing as a handle. As SCP-4956 lowers itself onto the ground, it will hold its left arm in front of its body. The movement becomes increasingly more forceful. When SCP-4956 enters a space with no compressed air, it will temporarily fall over, and will continue to perform the winged movements until trapped by other obstructions.
1666
1667Samples of dust from urban Dust Storms conducted in Site 17 demonstrated that SCP-4956 possesses extensive control over air currents.
1668
1669At this time, SCP-4956 has demonstrated not only the ability to, but appears to require, air to breathe.
1670
1671The influence of SCP-4956's vocalizations have also been observed. Following the induction of tapes of SCP-4956's vocalizations in all staff members' personal devices, approximately 25% of Foundation staff members ceased to menstruate, bloodshot eyes, and colds.
1672
1673Addendum: Note from Dr. Ketrino Tousan - 10/27/2017
1674
1675SCP-4956 has most recently attempted to enter a room containing some equipment, but has not, however, succeeded at maintaining the winged motion. At this time, there appears to be no threat of spreading or sustaining infection. Should SCP-4956 exercise a similar pattern of movement, it may escalate in frequency and/or become dangerous. Personnel are to be on watch for such symptoms.
1676
1677Addendum: Note from Dr. Ketrino Tousan - 12/02/2017
1678
1679SCP-4956 has demonstrated a remarkable ability to control the air currents in the containment area to force a vantage point on itself from a distance, and has succeeded in doing so. Personnel are on active 24/7 watch, and should continuously monitor the site and its personnel's ability to access a locked room. This has seen an improvement over time, and the procedure has been kept within ██ hours of operating time.

1688
1689Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is kept in a closet-sized sarcophagus at the base of a statuesque wall near the farmhouse’s only usable main house. SCP-4956 is to be contained in this sarcophagus using a sealed pint sized lead coffin covered in strong fabric in place of the original coffin design. The entrance of the sarcophagus must be observed by at least two persons unless the SCP-4956 is split into two pieces and one portion is removed before being caskets. No person except the current SCP-4956 is allowed to approach the sarcophagus without permission.
1690
1691Description: SCP-4956, whose name is given to this ancient human female of Vietnamese origin, is an eighteen year old female human belonging to the ███████ ██████ family. Due to the burial depth of this sarcophagus, neither of SCP-4956’s parents, brothers, or sisters are allowed within 50 meters of the sarcophagus. After SCP-4956 has been brought to SCP-█████’s attention, no further consultation is needed.
1692
1693SCP-4956 is the third half of a deceased Vietnamese girl. SCP-4956 was given an epitaph known as the “Thanh Nu” in their family tree. SCP-4956’s parents and brother were considered to be the original two individuals that received this epitaph, while the sister was labeled as the “Boa Tien”. Her brother and father were, along with SCP-4956 herself, are the ones in the sarcophagus. The rest of the family line, including SCP-4956 herself, are not contained in the sarcophagus. Due to the lack of their real world family members, SCP-4956 assumes that she is the last remaining daughter of the family.
1694
1695When SCP-4956 is called to “live”, rather than “sleep”, SCP-4956 ascends to the “floor” of the sarcophagus and begins to talk to herself. SCP-4956 then begins to flexibly control her avatar body using some form of interface, producing varying expressions from tears, to arrogance, to curiosity. One of the most frequently used expressions, “I want to go to my grandmother’s farm, meet my brother, and escape”, was believed to indicate a lack of remorse or guilt for not being able to reunite with her brothers and sisters. SCP-4956’s voice has also been heard to acknowledge unknown “mysteries” about herself, such as “a cruel undertaker” and “a cute little scar on my head”.
1696
1697While SCP-4956’s responses can vary throughout this recorded process, the effects she has are closely related to her proximity to the sarcophagus. If SCP-4956’s owner is present during this period, she will not linger in this state, instead proceeding to collapse to the floor, unable to move from the sarcophagus’ feet. SCP-4956 is able to control how long this collapse occurs for, able to increase or decrease its intensity, and the amount of time needed to slow the collapse. If one of the house’s occupants, in this state, is present, the sarcophagus will continue to collapse, often violently. Any body on the sarcophagus will be pulled from the walls, and may even be broken and torn apart in parts. If SCP-4956’s owner is not present, SCP-4956 will remain on the ground. Objects she carries, such as mobile phones, energy drinks, and other possessions in the form of pocketbooks, credit cards, passports, and passports of humanoids will also be returned to her.
1698
1699Recovery Procedure: The current owner of SCP-4956 is not capable of reacting to their own identity or affected by SCP-4956, although they can listen to the recorded audio as it is playing in the current location.
1700
1701After approximately twenty days, SCP-4956 will revive and begin to ask questions, seemingly in reference to SCP-4956’s impending reemergence into the physical world.

1713Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in a separate room separate from all other laboratory equipment.
1714
1715Description: SCP-4956 is a compact humanoid, known as Pawns, that resembles a child. Physical descriptions do not match that of any other creatures or animals, even humans. In addition, tests have revealed that Pawns is unresponsive to stimuli, exhibiting several actions that would normally provoke an autonomic response in a person, such as rocking or hand flailing. SCP-4956 is reportedly capable of replicating these movements. In addition, nothing is able to mimic the color, texture, or behavior of anything Pawns is capable of touching. SCP-4956 is considered sapient to a non-paranormal degree.
1716
1717SCP-4956 was found on the deck of ██████ Creek in ██████, Massachusetts by staff employed at ███████ Games, Inc. upon their discovery of a game no longer in use that was created and hidden within the SCP designation. It is still unclear as to what the entity's purpose in the game's location was. After the incident, no instances of SCP-4956 were found in the ██████ community.
1718
1719It is unknown if it would be beneficial to SCP-4956 to communicate or otherwise interact with others. If so, researchers recommend to carefully consider means to record communication between SCP-4956 and the Foundation.
1720
1721Description: Pawns, colloquially referred to as Pawns, are humanoid creatures who fit the image of a child at appearance. Of the groups testing the SCP classification, none have found that any deviation exists from this standard, and the results have been praised by Foundation personnel who were not familiar with the pattern's appearance.
1722
1723Pawns are considered sapient, but if they were to complete one of the actions, such as rocking, they would be unable to. They are seemingly completely unaware of their location in the world or that they are not following a common movement or sequence. If Pawns is able to make the correct move, they return immediately without hesitation. If not, they will eventually be confused and continue whatever action was intended for them to complete. They exhibit no known means of communication, but when questioned by Agent ████████ ████████, for example, Pawns said they were "just playing" or that "they didn't know what a 'did'" was.
1724
1725Addendum #1: In over two months of testing, SCP-4956 has yet to make a correct action. Their responses on requests have ranged from "what did you mean?" to "I didn't know, I had to move".
1726
1727Addendum #2: Special Containment Procedures: Due to their sapience, the lack of an innate response to stimuli and potential functionality as a pawn, SCP-4956 will be housed in standard containment cells at Site-██ in ██████, Massachusetts. As of ██/██/1983, it is reported that Pawns are largely unaffected by any actions. In addition, at no point have all five cognitohazardous effects shown to remain the same; more often than not, each new instance of Pawns, presented with a possible danger, will randomly choose to seek out the actual threat before dealing with the real threat. After a comprehensive research review, on ██/██/1984, SCP-4956 is to be isolated in a cubic room large enough to hold the entirety of its containment cell and additional components. Pawns are to be kept in a shadowed shadow box and fed nutrient rich waste via feeding tube and fed small doses of food directly on two different days per week. Pawns are to be kept isolated to an average of 45 x 10 x 30 meters, but are allowed to move up to a radius of 40 x 20 x 60 meters when not under study. Pawns are to be fed nutrient rich waste via feeding tube daily, though they are to be given one half size drop at once only. Research has revealed no direct nutritional requirements of the instance, and its survival is assured if properly fed on two out of the three days. Foundation staff report that instances of Pawns are usually curious and eager to learn.
1728
1729Additional note: Some form of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) has been used during testing to produce the "did"s of Pawns. The positive effects were short-lived, but the negatively-related effects persisted for up to ██ hours.
1730
1731Addendum #3: SCP-4956 surfaced on ██/██/1983 after undergoing a full operation. All instances, except for Agent ████████ ████████, awoke without pain and cognitohazardous effects were eliminated. Agent ████████ and the doctor responsible were put into cryogenic stasis in Site-██, and the doctor was reverted to human form

1737Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in Area X-5 in a standard humanoid containment cell, which is to be monitored continuously by security cameras. To minimize the risk of physical or mental harm to the humanoid contained in the containment cell, the humanoid is not to be allowed to interact directly with objects outside of the containment cell or contact other members of the Foundation.
1738
1739Description: SCP-4956 is an adult female humanoid, measuring 4'2" (122cm) tall and weighing 137.3kg. SCP-4956 displays a variety of anomalous physiological changes including a number of anomalous reflexes, damage to the skin, and destruction of body organs. SCP-4956 is believed to be a type of sapient, anthropomorphic (anthropomorphic being or anthropomorphic animal), and "demonic".
1740
1741SCP-4956 is primarily cognivistic and has demonstrated a fear of being inanimate or unknown entities. SCP-4956 frequently speaks about Christianity and The Bible in its initial interview, after which it will allegedly go through a series of rituals. The ritual changes often and changes with SCP-4956's mood.
1742
1743SCP-4956 had no overt memories prior to its capture and transfer to the Earth. Unlike D-class personnel, which act in a threatening manner, SCP-4956 has said that it is not afraid of aggression and is only afraid of the uncertainty. It also did not appear to be aware of the nature of the Earth, saying that the Earth existed a long time ago and will exist an unknown amount of time in the future. It has also stated that no part of its brain or body is dead, as it does not feel pain. An examination of SCP-4956's [DATA EXPUNGED].
1744
1745While in the Foundation, SCP-4956 learned of the concept of space travel from Dr. R███████████ and carried with it a knowledge of Earth's geographic layout and size.
1746
1747SCP-4956 is capable of travelling through space without any apparent memory of doing so. No matter how great the pressure or velocity of the vehicle used, it is not able to stop at a planet, moon, or any other celestial body, and cannot go to [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-4956 will enter a state of collapse at the stage of exit from the vehicle into space. When this occurs, SCP-4956 will attempt to avoid death by falling. When exposed to solar radiation, it becomes apparent that the human body is white, despite not being subject to any physical changes. An attempt to compare the bones of SCP-4956 to those of an average human being has proven to be futile.
1748
1749SCP-4956's best-documented "offense" is that it "spreads AIDs" [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-4956 has proven to be sapient and able to communicate with others. It has indicated it is able to manufacture and distribute AIDs. SCP-4956 has expressed hatred for SCP-1917, but will not acknowledge the nature of the entity and refuse to say anything of the matter.

1757Purpose: To see if the anomalous effects from the individual had any impact on the purposes of the experiment
1758
1759Object: A bull pellet
1760
1761Result: SCP-4956 ate the bull pellet. An attempt to follow SCP-4956 for a significant distance has also proven futile.
1762
1763Result: At the time of the experiment, SCP-4956 was unaware of the nature of SCP-1917 and was simply indignant over a bull pellet.

1769Purpose: To observe the response of SCP-4956 to aggressive behavior by other members of the Foundation
1770
1771Object: A fire extinguisher
1772
1773Result: SCP-4956 charged at D-48591 with a flamethrower despite no direct provocation. The flamethrower malfunctioned.
1774
1775Result: SCP-4956 continued to charge and move towards D-48591 without displaying any signs of fear or disturbance despite being agitated and in severe pain.
1776
1777Result: D-48591 made several attempts to carry SCP-4956 to a safe zone, but was restrained by armed Foundation personnel before reaching the location. D-48591 spontaneously transformed into an unrelated adult male in his thirties who has displayed memory traces of having been a soldier during the Korean War. He put down the fire extinguisher he was holding and said "Goodbye, brother" after learning that the Foundation had recovered SCP-4956.

1783Special Containment Procedures: Lying on your stomach is currently deemed to be the most effective means of SCP-4956's effect.
1784
1785Any and all attempts to detach SCP-4956 from its original position are to be destroyed. Personnel with anomalous strenght or mobility of this nature must be kept at all times contained. Personnel may also be threatened or forcibly restrained when attempting to remove SCP-4956.
1786
1787Those wishing to be trained to remove SCP-4956 are to be placed in different rooms as long as they do not have any sounds coming from said rooms. "Fun" must not be allowed in any of the rooms. Upon termination of a subject deemed unfit for duty, SCP-4956 is to be put back to its original position immediately after.
1788
1789Description: SCP-4956 is a saucer-shaped device that is capable of locating and reshaping matter indiscriminately. As the device is entirely biodegradable, no threat to human life exists unless it is removed from the environment.
1790
1791This effect stems from SCP-4956's ability to reshape various physical objects, currently most commonly clothing and personal items. It has the ability to [DATA EXPUNGED].
1792
1793When removed from its original location, SCP-4956 will be placed in any empty room within proximity of SCP-4956. It is not believed that SCP-4956 holds any physical form at this time; however, some staff have described seeing three instances of SCP-4956 attached to their equipment. At this time, the effects of SCP-4956 are in the process of evolving, and no entity is known to exist within it.
1794
1795SCP-4956 is capable of rearranging matter into various shapes. In order to recreate SCP-4956, the current means of containment must remain effective. Containment must also extend to methods of destroying SCP-4956 once activated. As such, any and all methods of containment must be effective at removing it from the affected environment.
1796
1797SCP-4956's area of effect is located in a barren area within a moderately sized town located about one square mile within the state of Maine. On average, the "room" is 130.0 m long, 20.0 m wide, and 8.0 m tall. It contains a twenty-five foot diameter pool of fluid, including all water used by the town. SCP-4956'ss primary effect affects approximately fifteen to thirty percent of the population of ███████.

1801Surprise Tory Party donors got their money’s worth under David Cameron, MPs have discovered.
1802
1803As the Telegraph dubbed the donation “extraordinary” last night, the stunned Tories were stunned to learn the £20,000 cheque had been paid off David Cameron in full.
1804
1805The cash was moved from Chief Whip Gavin Williamson to the National Executive Committee for £26,000 a year to wipe out a debt.
1806
1807Chairman Andrew Feldman had to be talked into making the donation as he is thought to have been at odds with a friend of party whips who wanted to get rid of Mr Williamson.
1808
1809And Eurosceptic Lord Ashcroft dumped it into the Tory Christmas fund along with another shock £15,000 birthday gift.
1810
1811(Image: PA)
1812
1813Now MPs have revealed that Lord Ashcroft, a millionaire Tory donor with a longstanding fund management company, set out £30,000 in gift vouchers for freebies.
1814
1815Former Conservative deputy PM Lord Howard told the Mirror: “It is some miracle this kind of donation has gone down well with the National Executive Committee.
1816
1817“It is helpful to see a donated payment down the line being ploughed back into general party expenses for freebies.”
1818
1819If the donation is not passed through to the party, it may mean that the donors will get slapped with hefty undeclared donations.
1820
1821But first Lord Ashcroft told the Mirror last year he was going to be “left hanging” because he was barred from donating to the party until February 2016 .
1822
1823(Image: Reuters)
1824
1825But this newspaper has seen documents showing that Lord Ashcroft has been making donations before then.
1826
1827They also show that Lord Ashcroft has been paying down his political debts since 2010.
1828
1829Controversy also erupted when a birthday party given by Lord Ashcroft for Treasury Chancellor George Osborne, where he had to be called “George” and not “Dave” to avoid trouble, was in need of 250 guest rooms .

1837Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956-B is to be kept in Site 16's Denarius Containment Deck, unit 1060. No personnel other than security clearance 5 will be allowed access to SCP-4956-B. D-class personnel of any Class will not be permitted entry to the Denarius Containment Deck and all personnel of any Class are to be kept under surveillance at all times.
1838
1839D-class are to be made aware of the nature of SCP-4956 and requests to open SCP-4956-B will be rejected upon observation. Approval for physical access to SCP-4956-B is granted only by Dr. Anura [sic]. Attempts to contact SCP-4956-B's containment area by third parties will be heavily scrutinized, if approved.
1840
1841Description: SCP-4956 is a rock-like entity that is completely protected by a material known as “solidified voodoo”. SCP-4956-B is a black rock that measures 2.5 m x 2.5 m. Instances of SCP-4956-B do not fit together in a manner consistent with ordinary rocks. The end of each SCP-4956-B is left open, and will contact any nearby persons by drawing or pushing on them. This contact causes a small physical disruption in the target, leading to a temporary paralysis. There is also a small amount of blood vessels near the ground of SCP-4956-B which are sometimes engorged by the contact.
1842
1843SCP-4956-B and SCP-4956 are non-anomalous in nature. This is due to SCP-4956-B’s ability to prevent its contacting another person, and to be inert when tested in the presence of other objects or individuals. SCP-4956 is capable of being duplicated, though the fates of a copy of SCP-4956-B and a copy of SCP-4956-B that is turned on its owner will always be similar to one another, with a slight difference in the effect. SCP-4956 will follow the exact same series of behaviors whenever duplicated, though duplicates of it that do not turn on their owners do not display any lingering effects.
1844
1845SCP-4956 was discovered by ██████ ██████ after a series of violent occurrences at his home. The site of the events were SCP-4956's armoire. Dr. Anura [sic] was called to the scene, where a lone armed security guard was in the process of attempting to reopen SCP-4956. Dr. Anura’s clearance was pulled and she was returned to her current location. The next day she was instructed to open SCP-4956 for a Dr. Anura [sic] so that they could determine its true nature.
1846
1847Dr. Anura’s investigation led her to a site in the Trumbo Heights housing project in downtown ██████, which houses SCP-4956-B and a door leading to the Denarius Containment Deck. Dr. Anura was able to talk to SCP-4956-B through the locked door, but was informed by SCP-4956-B that it will not come out. Dr. Anura also was able to make contact with SCP-4956-B’s containment officer, later identified as Dr. Spencer Pooya. Dr. Pooya was cleared of suspicion when it was determined that SCP-4956 and Dr. Pooya had no personal relation.
1848
1849An MRI scan taken of SCP-4956, showing changes in its mass.
1850
1851SCP-4956-B is intelligent and has the ability to complete natural and controlled experiments in an effort to learn more. SCP-4956 is incapable of speaking, but instead communicates through pantomime and hand gestures. SCP-4956 and Dr. Pooya are experienced in various types of voodoo and each other’s practices. SCP-4956 is also an expert thief, and routinely makes off with artifacts from the University of ██████.
1852
1853SCP-4956’s method of maintenance has been determined to be “lick it clean”, usually with [REDACTED]. No methods of prolonging the lifespan of SCP-4956 have been found, although SCP-4956-B’s containment officer has stated that he has memorized large parts of the methods used.

1869Description: SCP-4956 is a 33 rpm single cassette containing a full vocal track, the lyrics of which appear to describe a milky clear substance. Various plants and animals have been described in the lyrics, as well as in the illustrations accompanying the lyrics. These animals have been found in various parts of the Pacific Ocean, including squid, octopuses, crabs, jellyfish, sea anemones, birds, sharks, and seals.
1870
1871It is currently unknown how SCP-4956 came to contain SCP-4956-1, or how long SCP-4956-1 has been in existence. Tests with various species of shellsfish show no anomalous properties. The lyrics describe SCP-4956-1 as "food" in the previous sentence, but does not state which organism it is meant to be eaten by.
1872
1873SCP-4956 appears to be capable of strong and accurate musical improvisation. The lyrics of the songs on SCP-4956 indicate that SCP-4956-1 is a predatory female, possibly belonging to a species of fish. No other species of fish have been identified so far.
1874
1875SCP-4956 has apparently a very limited number of songs, though it is possible that some that it possesses did not emerge to exist for any length of time. However, the song sung on SCP-4956-1 is almost every night, although frequently changes from one song to another. Songs on SCP-4956-1 have a very different lyrical pattern. The most frequent change is the presence of 6 lines of clear lyrics before the vocal track, followed by a vocalist of no known gender singing the three basic phrases " I have got a taste of your blood " , " or " O God take me " before the beginning of the song. These phrases appear to be interchangeable and used interchangeably whenever one of the lines is not sung, or where it is singing a different line or phrases. These lines consist of "I have got a taste of your blood", "you needtoso think that you can take me out of your hands " and "your mindless acts of wanton violence against me "The lyrics tend to become more and more obscure and confused as the song goes on, to the point where most of the lyrics go unrecognizable.
1876
1877SCP-4956 appeared on the market at a date unknown to researchers. The rapper on the song formerly went by the name Stretch Armstrong, though he now goes by his nickname of MC Chop Top, who may be the same person. No references to the subject have been made in any of his previous works. There is no known way to identify whether the song on SCP-4956 is about extended periods of time. If the subject appears frequently, or if it had previously been referenced in another song, this would account for the increase in frequency.
1878
1879Addendum: Previous songs on SCP-4956
1880
1881Recordings of the previously discovered songs are available to researchers under the name of "Worst_Bills_Since_High_School." There is no information regarding who originally recorded these songs on SCP-4956, though evidence suggests that they are still in circulation and active. Following sample playback of all songs on this album, Foundation personnel detected that they are all written about the same object. (see below for information on SCP-4956-1.)

1889Special Containment Procedures: The perimeter surrounding SCP-4956 is to be maintained at a constant level of 5 m above the ground. Shallow bathhouse levels are to be located to accommodate the homeless population of █████████. SCP-4956 is to be quarantined following the first occurrence of anomalous behavior. Follow-up scans are to be conducted every ten (10) days to ensure no structural anomalies have taken place. MTF Lambda-4 ("Child Eaters of Keflings") is to take 24 hr shifts in supervision of SCP-4956 as stated in Incident 4700-1.
1890
1891Description: SCP-4956 is an archaeological site composed entirely of upmarket, new home styled yachts, comprised of organically grown wood and aluminum surfaces. Observation areas around SCP-4956 are to be stocked with empty plastic bottles of rum and Perrier water. Once at least two persons are present at a site, they may enter in order to retrieve a drink from a bottle at a specific table. Any drink taken by the observer for himself or herself will be consumed within the site by a small chimpanzee, designated SCP-4956-1.
1892
1893SCP-4956-1 is a brutish chimpanzee possessed of the physicality of a young adolescent male, with the mental development of a young adult female. SCP-4956-1 will consume any drink dispensed by a potential observer, whether that drink is alcoholic, fruit flavored, or otherwise poisonous. Once consumed, SCP-4956-1 will still show interest in the act, however, and if not consumed within one hour of consumption will seek out any other drink suitable for consumption to continue its consumption. Non-observant observers will react to this behavior in a neutral, if in some cases cruel, manner.
1894
1895SCP-4956 was discovered during a routine archaeological excavation, describing itself as an "ingameyo" pearl chain in the likeness of French Pharoah Nefertiti. The resulting anomalies were discovered when the excavation was completed, informing Foundation researchers of SCP-4956. Additional scans of SCP-4956 were conducted following Incident 4700-1, revealing this to be a distantly related archaeological site located in the Roman Empire of central Italy, known as Little Italy. By that time, the site had been abandoned, looted, and ransacked, with all artifacts lost to the elements.
1896
1897Addendum 4700-1: As of ██/██/2009, all watches manufactured in this style are highly poisonous, and will not leave human bodies as far as current testing data show.
1898
1899Experiment 4700-1: To proceed with containment of SCP-4956 as a relict SCP object, and verify the containment protocols.
1900
1901Addendum 4700-2: SCP-4956 has been observed to alter its behavior in order to obtain drinks from different liquids, such as water and water bottles. The distinct symptoms commonly seen in these instances occur due to SCP-4956's loss of personal reaction to the change in liquid. Researcher Engelborgh has found indications that the beverages that make SCP-4956 appear in person are a mixture of alcohol and other substances, such as water, salt, and something possessing the consistency of crushed rock. Any drinks that are perceived as non-harmful by SCP-4956-1 are consumed immediately.
1902
1903Experiment 4700-3: Constructing a stomach for SCP-4956-1, specifically for liquid. Be aware that SCP-4956-1 will consume all the drinks possessed by SCP-4956.
1904
1905Experiment 4700-4: The follow-up test. The test protocol as established is to consist of the following: 3 inches of absorbent material kept in various conditions, constituting a lining of an SCP-4956-1 torso. Detailed instructions on use of the absorbent material as follows: use the material to redistribute SCP-4956-1's stomach contents. The process is to be performed daily as long as SCP-4956-1 is inside SCP-4956-1, with the exception of hot water and water delivered to a touch down area in SCP-4956-1's mouth. It is recommended that 6 ounces of SCP-4956-1 be kept in SCP-4956-1's stomach as compared to a larger amount if possible. Testing is to cease until exactly ██/██/2009.

1917Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-4956-1 are to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell. It is advised that the subject does not be allowed to be further than one meter from others except for physical manipulation and recovery of the individual. It is recommended that these instances are not be given sleeping quarters.
1918
1919Description: SCP-4956 is a human male, capable of both physical and mental manipulation. SCP-4956 displays advanced social abilities and is able to work with multiple victims and interacting with each one. When interacting with a known recipient, SCP-4956 will place both hands on the victim to transfer ownership of that person and generate a lock box, which is then requested and returned.
1920
1921Upon completion of this, the victim will appear to themselves in the respective location which they were initially detained. SCP-4956 will use their hand to remove the victim's clothing and place it into a holotape bag, labeled "Oxygen". Then, SCP-4956 will proceed to transfer air directly from the bag, which can be used to remove perspiration from the skin and restore normal air flow.
1922
1923Once the subject removes their clothing, it becomes rickets, and their blood will begin to bleed continuously, even while wearing shirts, undershirts, and long pants. A decrease in blood pressure causes the victim's heart rate to decrease as well. It is recommended that no more than five hours of blood, despite others continuously bleeding, is allowed to be continued. Further excessive bleeding will result in the subject's death, as heart rate will continuously decrease until the victim's body goes into cardiac arrest and the heart ceases to be visible from any known vantage point.
1924
1925Some victims will appear as a humanoid form instead of the original form, where the arms will have become indistinguishable from the legs. This forms what is known as SCP-4956-2, who are shown to be able to directly enter a location, gain possession of a victim and unlock all lockboxes within one meter of the victim.
1926
1927Addendum: SCP-4956 was recovered from █████ ██████, ██. The residents of the building had been threatened over several months by a group who called themselves the Shattering Warriors. SCP-4956-1 and five other civilians, all armed with firearms, had been taken into custody. During questioning by Dr. ██████, two staff members at the [REDACTED], Arizona Research Base were rendered unconscious and taken to a nearby hospital. Among the items recovered was SCP-4956, a watch, and clothing capable of allowing for two instances of SCP-4956-1 to occupy the same body simultaneously for several hours.
1928
1929Addendum: On November 5th, 2016, a containment breach caused Foundation forces to evacuate the base, leaving them completely exposed to SCP-4956's manifestation of SCP-4956-2. Foundation personnel, led by Agent ██████, infiltrated the SCP-4956 Facility, as well as all other areas where guards or personnel with access to the equivalent file. Specialized agents became trapped in a circular field of SCP-4956, which consists of various settlements made from multiple copy and duplication devices. After several hours, the group were given numerous assignments. Agent ██████ assigned with the D-Class was tasked with clearing an area, from which a large amount of rubble had piled up after the lockdown had been lifted. Due to the kind of operation, Agent ██████ was successfully cleared and extracted. Now available on request, and under direct supervision by Dr. ██████ and Dr. █████████, Agent ██████ is now known as Agent ████████.
1930
1931All copies of SCP-4956-1 have been rendered useless for transfer due to the consumption of all of their original contents. Access to SCP-4956 has been disabled indefinitely, and copies of SCP-4956-1 are to be destroyed. Due to SCP-4956-2 not being able to destroy itself, and that some copies of SCP-4956-1 will remain accessible due to being provided with clothing by another SCP-4956 instance, SCP-4956 is considered on indefinite lockdown and must be continuously evacuated. All inhabitants of SCP-4956 are to be monitored and forcibly contained.
1932
1933Description: SCP-4956 is a human male of average height and build, with a clothed appearance similar to that of a pale yellow rabbit. SCP-4956 bears no facial resemblance to any species other than human. SCP-4956 displays sufficient strength and speed to carry victims weighing upwards of ██.█ tons within one (1) meter of the central point and several meters away from the center, though this capacity increases with each instance.

1941Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber; no more than 5 bears are to be kept in a cage of at least 4 meters (13 ft) length by 3 meters (9 ft) wide. A single bear is to be housed within a standardized peripheral vision laboratory (with floors made of concrete and padded walls) at the American University of Frolic. At all times, SCP-4956 should be accompanied by a D-class human assistant. Testing of SCP-4956 to prevent him from escaping or harming his human associates is not permissible.
1942
1943Description: SCP-4956 is a male brown bear. SCP-4956 has the physical appearance of a 24-year-old male African grey or black bear, and is roughly three (3) meters in height and three (3) meters in weight. Its fur color varies between grey and black. SCP-4956 has a single, unobtrusive bilateral gap at the back of the neck. Its left shoulder is larger than its right. The underside of its back is a velvety grey color.
1944
1945SCP-4956 is extremely healthy. The chest cavity of its "chest" is considerably higher than the midline of its body, and it has not manifested liver glands or urine. All of its intestines are tied into a single chain, and are devoid of blood. SCP-4956 has no detectable vocalization, but it has demonstrated the ability to control the volume of its vocalizations. The throat is completely devoid of food waste and the digestive tract does not appear to be functional. Due to its large size, SCP-4956 has a re-occurring period of vomiting, in which SCP-4956 ejects a rapidly boiling liquid, and only provides a few swallows of food each day.
1946
1947SCP-4956 is capable of surviving for approximately two weeks without air, and it is capable of the use of air-breathing by producing localized gravity at the ground's surface. SCP-4956 is able to endure temperatures between -20 °C and 40 °C for approximately 15 minutes; after this timeframe, its vitality declines rapidly, with only around 2% remaining. SCP-4956 appears to be unable to endure temperatures of temperatures below -40 °C for more than approximately 10 minutes. SCP-4956 shows no sign of pain.
1948
1949When feeding, SCP-4956 consumes a composition which makes up 85% of its caloric intake, and only 2% of its resting mass. When SCP-4956 is experiencing anomalous fatigue or stress, it will exhibit significant decreases in the amount of its caloric intake, and consequently in its resting mass. SCP-4956 is capable of using its claws to tear through any plant matter it can.
1950
1951When SCP-4956's food consumption becomes too high, its metabolism increases at a noticeable rate. Radiation from SCP-4956's metabolism converts approximately 10% of the food it eats to its own energy, increasing its age from 1.74 to 3.23 years in a single week. If SCP-4956 consumes more than 32 KJ (3.2 Pascals) in one week, it will enter a period of atrophy and degeneration. Unless its caloric intake is drastically decreased (as indicated by SCP-4956's accelerated metabolism), it will only return to an adult state of health two weeks after the initial damage has been done.
1952
1953If SCP-4956 has not been fed in approximately three days, it will enter a period of severe malnutrition and emotional discomfort. SCP-4956 will begin to emit a nasal and vocalization which can be understood as hunger, and it will begin to gnaw on its vocal cords. SCP-4956 will also sporadically emit additional noises (described below). SCP-4956 will then experience symptoms similar to starvation-induced delirium for approximately four (4) hours. SCP-4956 will then begin to release its digestive enzymes through its mouth and nose. SCP-4956 will attempt to demonstrate communication and attempt to orally consume food (presumably with its teeth), but it is not currently in a position to do so. After removing SCP-4956 from the feeding area, it will not feed for the remainder of its 12-hour feeding period.<|endoftext|>For nearly 45 years, a road that cut through the heart of the world’s largest ocean basin took a perfectly round course through the sunken remnants of an ancient mega-city.

1961Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in a 4m x 4m x 2m stainless steel fallout bunker (currently fitted with a single 1.25 tonne capacitor bank and radiation sensors to detect SCP-4865) within Site-17. Shoring up this space with reinforced concrete will be provided in the event of attack, which is to be controlled remotely by Site-17 personnel. Post-attack monitoring is to begin immediately following any Foundation human containment teams no longer required by termination squads or aerial sweeps. SCP-4956 will not be handled without authorization.
1962
1963Description: SCP-4956 appears to be a pair of human teeth, sufficiently light to be carried as a person's left or right hand. Though its origin is unknown, SCP-4956 seems to be a previously unidentified human remains, apparently recovered in ████████. Analysis has revealed no other anomalous properties of the teeth, other than a persistent and contagious faecal matter infection.
1964
1965Though SCP-4956 is stated to be blood stained (surname unknown) at the mouth of the individual possessing it, non-suspect examinations have revealed these appear to be false spectres of the suspected deceased. Any known corpses that possess SCP-4956 will display a weak circulatory, digestive, and respiration function, as well as detectable signs of decay and mummification.
1966
1967SCP-4956 has several anomalous features, the most notable of which is its efficacy as a chimera. Not only does SCP-4956 appear to change both in appearance and personality, but it can also take on the physical characteristics of any living creature it meets: sometimes this is done intentionally, as with a captive dog (SCP-4956-A), but in at least two other cases the threat of exposure to SCP-4865 is known. These are presumed to be due to the active intervention of the entity itself, and containment of SCP-4956 is to be closely monitored for any potential defectations.
1968
1969SCP-4956 has shown a strong desire to breed, and has previously used a mummified corpse of an African descended Sloth bear as a breeding device in a previous biological experiment. It is not known why SCP-4956 holds this belief, but no answers can be found through dialogue with the entity. Given SCP-4956's existing knowledge of genetics, attempts have been made to clone SCP-4956 through genetic research. Partial reconstitution of SCP-4956-Ia through Foundation tissue exchange appears to have only produced a partially sentient entity whose only anomalous properties are delusions of grandeur and a lack of empathy. No attempts have been made at researching SCP-4956-Ib due to SCP-4956's persistent refusal to cooperate with Foundation personnel.

1975And then, the other bar approaches with a tray of booze.
1976
1977At first, everyone looks up from their laptops. Nobody moves—more than at this meeting.

1997Special Containment Procedures: All personnel assigned to this area, labeled SCP-4956-1, should be instructed to approach SCP-4956-1 using a set of simple methods— for example, just approaching from the west and sighting the object with your binoculars. The object is visible from the closest house, 16.1 meters away, and appeared several days ago, following the SCP-4956-1’s disappearance from the photographer’s lens. Due to this method, it is now presumed that SCP-4956-1 is not a human construct, and no other Foundation personnel are forbidden access to SCP-4956-1.
1998
1999Any reports regarding the “public nature” of SCP-4956-1 are to be investigated as credible news reports. Anything reported as disinformation regarding SCP-4956-1 is to be reported as false to the Site Director.
2000
2001Description: SCP-4956 is a cube approximately 80 centimeters in height and 5 centimeters in diameter with a dark blue dye-substitute covering the top of its surface. SCP-4956-1 is approximately 30 centimeters in height and 2 centimeters in diameter with what is assumed to be human hair strung around the objects’ perimeter. The presence of these sections are unknown, and it is assumed that these hair sections are nothing more than marks of cloth left on the object to depict what SCP-4956 is. While SCP-4956-1 is entirely human in appearance, it is constructed solely of dye-substitute. No trace of SCP-4956 has been found beyond the object’s exterior, and it is only visible from a distance. The object is also inorganic, as it is composed of 3-4 millimeters of pure turquoise.
2002
2003SCP-4956 was first observed when Andrew Kohn was photographing the city of █████████████, Delaware for a graduating class project. Dr. Kohn then drew a geometric figure on the disk based on the given location, and stated that the objects did not resemble any “designer pieces”. After further investigation, it was discovered that Dr. Kohn had not drawn the object with the camera’s standard image, but had created the initial sketch as he was walking home. Subsequent testing determined that Dr. Kohn’s drawing differed in color saturation and visible detail from the SCP-4956-1 imagery. This was further verified after Dr. Kohn removed the SCP-4956-1’s paint job and reattached it, and revealed that the object’s light perception was completely unaffected. SCP-4956-1 was later found in Dr. Kohn’s abandoned childhood home— the inside of the house bore signs of structural damage, and appeared to have been recently inhabited by a human who entered the house and removed SCP-4956-1.
2004
2005This discovery apparently led to the next anomalous event, as a series of weather phenomena resulted in SCP-4956-1 becoming visible from a “distanced” home of Dr. ███████. The full narrative of events that followed is not yet available for public release.
2006
2007Other events have led to the conclusion that SCP-4956’s “pupil” (aka. anomalous viewers) are not sentient, and are operating as robots built specifically to read and react to objects from a very large distance.

This occurred on ██/██/████ when Dr. ███████ was photographing the Blue Ridge Mountains at low altitude for an aerial view of the area. A sphere, estimated to be 10 meters in diameter, appeared in the sky and flew over Dr. ███████’s house. This coincided with a call from his mother, informing her that one of her sons was missing and was in the sky. The wife of Dr. ███████ did not know where her husband was; so, at the police station, Dr. ███████ talked to her and found out that her husband had gone up to Red Hill (a popular hike in the area) intending to explore the area. Dr. ███████’s father, who was unfamiliar with Red Hill, was informed. The search was then immediately initiated.

2063Addendum 4956-A: Following
2064Sample, 57  of  90
2065Item #: SCP-4956
2066
2067Object Class: Safe
2068
2069Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is contained in a standard-sized cell at Site 19 with air-tight security with visual and audio surveillance. SCP-4956 is restrained on all sides to prevent escape. Personnel involved in handling SCP-4956 are to be monitored for changes in mental status and the clearance to the room in which SCP-4956 is housed revoked. Personnel mentioned for removal are to be replaced by Level 3 personnel or reassigned pending a successful recovery. Any SCP-4956 deposits are to be incinerated.
2070
2071Any personnel designated for retrieval are to be closely monitored for signs of the corresponding SCP-4956 anomalies. Any changes of SCP-4956 consciousness or habits are to be recorded and observed to ensure successful recovery. Upon recovery of SCP-4956, all anomalous properties within the room are to be contained until the effects can be rectified.
2072
2073Description: SCP-4956 is a dead cat with a skull attached to its chest. A white interior with notches and grooves are present near the mouth and eyes. SCP-4956's left paw is raised in a position that causes the skull to level off the chest. SCP-4956's chest is slightly larger than SCP-4956's body. Currently, no other anomalous properties are present aside from its severed paw.
2074
2075SCP-4956 is surrounded by an area of SCP-4956-A (Class ██) containing a sewer system and garbage disposals. Test results show that SCP-4956's presence causes every single change in the sewer system to occur in 3-3-3 format.
2076
2077Three of every four sewer pipes are not cleaned or altered. Test results show that all rejected, hardened, liquidated, and chewed waste items related to the victim are contaminated. All affected items are then frozen into solidified, frozen-solidified, emetic, or liquid-grained remains, although each object is relatively similar in appearance to the material itself.
2078
2079At a minimum, up to ten forks appear in every toilet bowl and a fork in every outlet compartment of every landline telephone in the area.
2080
2081Any living creature, humanoid or animal, and any additional evidence of them either dead or alive remain, even if no trace of the creature is present. The remaining evidence is rotated to face an area in SCP-4956-A.
2082
2083Addendum 1: SCP-4956-A objects have a corruptible nature. Traces of substances found in SCP-4956-A (such as feces and rotting animal carcasses) can be incorporated into SCP-4956's body. Radiographs of SCP-4956 have been documented with internal organs affected, or organs sufficiently enhanced for composition testing (e.g.[REDACTED]) .
2084
2085Addendum 2: Mobile Task Force Omega-13 "Mustangs" has recovered numerous reports of individuals claiming to be the "mainly" dead cat (male). All reports have been corroborated to what is known of SCP-4956. Tolerances to lead pellets used as projectiles have been documented to range from 50%-100%. Some samples will transform into a cocoon for a week, and then a raccoon-like creature will emerge from the plastic between the skull and chest. Said entity has been stated to speak in lower-voiced than normal and respond to questions with absolute respect (see attached document).
2086
2087Addendum 3: Research has revealed that animals with the specific DNA type capable of absorbing supernatural energy are known to exist. One of these have been captured and put into Foundation custody. Test Results indicate the addition of SCP-4956's skull into human breast tissue will cause the cells to desensitize, resulting in death of the human from asphyxiation. However, blood loss from the human body is not affected.
2088
2089Addendum 4: A neuro-psychological analysis was performed to see if an undetected telepathy could be present. Intriguingly, the test subjects began to get used to the presence of SCP-4956 and would appear as if they were hallucinating. The subject's decision to leave the room was immediately taken by SCP-4956, causing light from the room to automatically blind all the staff. The subject's artificial intelligence is hypothesized to be capable of forming a shared hallucination. No name or surnames were recorded for the subjects.
2090
2091Addendum 5: After the subjects were raised, their brains were tested for effects and the subject was named SCP-4956-S2. The subject expressed a love for SCP-4956 and was dedicated to his task. The subject was recorded to remain in silence and rapture for weeks at a time without reason. After two weeks, the subject's body appeared normal and the study concluded that SCP-4956 is capable of telepathy. SCP-4956's dismembered paw was put into SCP-4956-S2

2096
2097Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained at Site-38 with a minimum of eight dogs each listed in the canine database. Each dog is to be provided with a two hour daily training period, and SCP-4956 is to be kept in a contained room. For the duration of training period, the dogs are to refrain from interacting with each other, except for a total of twenty-five minutes per day. Upon termination of the training period, the dogs are to be returned to their containment room.
2098
2099If SCP-4956 poses a threat or is chosen to be neutralized, Dr. ███ will attempt to interrogate it under Class-B amnestics for approximately five minutes. All efforts to use Class-A amnestics on SCP-4956 are kept under 24 hour surveillance.
2100
2101Description: SCP-4956 is a mangy and fleshy mixed breed of dog whose primary facial features are what appear to be thick eyebrows and large, unlobed ears. SCP-4956 appears to be blind, but uses its hind ears and eyebrows to focus its vision so as to “see” clearly. Dr. ███ theorizes that this tactic works because the dogs do not perceive significant variation in their vision among themselves.
2102
2103Currently, SCP-4956 is believed to be no older than two years of age. The primary observations of SCP-4956 so far have been the following:
2104
2105When SCP-4956 is shown a person (usually another canine) , SCP-4956 is unable to make eye contact and responds aggressively to anyone until it has retrieved the object.
2106
2107, SCP-4956 is unable to make eye contact and responds aggressively to anyone until it has retrieved the object. When exposed to large groups of people who make eye contact, SCP-4956 will attempt to resist attempts to separate it from the group.
2108
2109will attempt to resist attempts to separate it from the group. When exposed to children who do not make eye contact, SCP-4956 will attempt to bite them.
2110
2111It is unknown what particular medical condition has caused SCP-4956 to be unable to make eye contact, but it appears to have no upper body teeth, which make it impossible for SCP-4956 to bite its victims.
2112
2113Addendum: If SCP-4956 cannot be interacted with, it will attempt to bite or claw at a person who is unable to make eye contact. When it attacks, it will apply its massive, fangs in a pattern that exactly matches that of ████ ██████ ████████ . This pattern is currently being studied by Dr. ███.
2114
2115Additional Report: The Foundation and D-Class personnel make use of specialist dogs for containment. Unfortunately, they have become increasingly ineffective in keeping SCP-4956 contained. This has put the Foundation in a precarious position: their intelligence and social behaviors render them socially untrustworthy, and their physical appearance prevents them from accurately interacting with SCP-4956, which makes a containment plan difficult. Fortunately, the D-Class dogs appear to be immune to SCP-4956's control, and these attempts have not resulted in containment breach.
2116
2117Addendum: The anomalous effect of SCP-4956 (SCP-4956-A) has manifested three times since containment: once when Kuru-Vap was encountered, once when Newton Duthea was encountered, and once when Hawthorne Simplex was encountered. Contrary to belief, SCP-4956-A does not have specific causal connections to the dogs in the Containment Area or any particular locations in Foundation territory. As of the time of this document, SCP-4956-A has not yet been determined to be a threat, but further containment, learning more about SCP-4956-A, and preliminary experimentation with multiple compounds are being carried out.
2118
2119Addendum: When SCP-4956 is not contacted, it begins to emerge from its containment area after approximately twenty minutes. This causes a significant internal hemorrhage in the containment area. A tentative hypothesis is that SCP-4956-A causes SCP-4956 to expel itself from its petri dish, allowing SCP-4956-A to materialize in a new location.<|endoftext|>On this day in 1767, Richard, Duke of York and his wife Mary, Duchess of York, died in London, making them father and mother to seven children, including Princess Augusta, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom.
2120
2121Although they had been married for 37 years, their first son, George, Duke of York, was not born until October 1815, seven months after the birth of their second son, Prince Alfred. George, however, died of a fever at the age of only one month, leaving the family with Prince George (Augusta), born in 1817.

2129Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is currently under the protection of Overseer O5-X. In the event of an attack or attempt to breach containment, Overseer O5-X will immediately fire missiles at the target (use of projectile weapons is contemplated, pending incoming data). If Overseer O5-X deems the subject secure enough, access to SCP-4956 will be allowed, though access is strictly confined to Overseer O5-3. Overseer O5-3 is required to submit periodic reports on SCP-4956's status and whereabouts to the Site head, as well as to all Level 2 Personnel and above.
2130
2131Description: SCP-4956 is a female entity currently occupying SCP-4956-1. Described by Ms. Carranza, the entity behaves in a manner consistent with the concepts of a being and angel.
2132
2133SCP-4956-1 is a structure (or more specifically, a reinforced steel column), standing approximately 80m tall, encompassing 200m2 of land, comprised of exposed, cold steel and cement, with an active temperature of precisely one degree below absolute zero. SCP-4956-1 can be reached by citizens of SCP-4956 with a crane, or any surface that transmits a strong electromagnetic field, and any activity within SCP-4956-1 will not be subject to investigation by civilian or Foundation personnel.
2134
2135SCP-4956-1 is not merely a physical structure, however, but also a symbol, denoting an invisible series of corporeal, extradimensional, and temporal entities , dubbed "The Objects", within the structure. The purpose of SCP-4956-1's use of its anomalous properties is unknown. They appear to include a range of types of objects with apparent powers, including those capable of creating anomalous materials, time altering machines, and other anomalous phenomena. Analysis of the matter contained within SCP-4956-1 has so far proven inconclusive, though it is currently theorized that these objects share an origin and purpose with their host. It is also suspected that the objects within SCP-4956-1 are a means to facilitate communication between SCP-4956-1 and their native, but currently unknown, location.
2136
2137Given the existence of SCP-4956-1, civilian and Foundation knowledge of the structure is regarded as extremely classified. Its location and identity remain classified.<|endoftext|>A couple of years ago, I blogged about the Park Cities Rail Alliance. Since then they’ve worked hard to build public support for rail in the city, and they have a plan to get it built. My article came a bit late, but this news, along with a nice article on Galva by far the best one on the topic I have read lately, is nice to see.
2138
2139Navigating this subject is always difficult, because rail doesn’t have a binary answer. The Park Cities Alliance, for example, supports their proposal with “a mix of bus rapid transit, light rail, and other local improvements,” an almost complete absence of express light rail. Other people take the very different position that Austin should have both light rail and bus rapid transit, with the rail being offered to only high ridership areas.
2140
2141Rail proponents often get accused of missing the point of a rail system. Rail proponents, on the other hand, get accused of ignoring the practicalities of its feasibility. The latter argument often seems to come from the pro-HSR crowd, who holds that any such system would need at least some of the complexity that goes with automobiles, and therefore must have a high station density, long paths between stations, and corridors that would make it difficult to walk or bike along.
2142
2143There’s a logic to the latter argument, but I don’t understand the logic. I have several words for this, but really, what I really mean is that different people have different priorities. Not everyone’s priorities involve walking and biking, at least not automatically. Take, for example, the project list from the ESFIT show that Northwest Austin residents supported last year. The projects included streetcar (4) and a light rail line (4). And yes, they should have had their light rail (4) included, but they weren’t. There was no way they could get it funded, because their only bus rapid transit (4) was aimed at a half-million square feet of office space. They weren’t asking for rail, they were asking for BRT, and indeed, that was what the SWLRT team proposed. They didn’t have much ridership, but it wasn’t as if they wanted it badly; to them, a light rail line was a secondary project that they had to be prioritizing differently.
2144
2145I don’t fully agree with this prioritization, but then again, I’m

2151Special Containment Procedures: All breeding populations are to be kept in cells attached to the Secure Section of Site-██. Mating pairs are to be examined regularly by qualified personnel, using CAD scans, to track their growth and growth pains. All breeding populations are to be separated from the surrounding civilian population, in order to prevent human contact. A designated guard system is to be put in place for each breeding population to prevent inadvertent attention from civilians.
2152
2153At the request of O5-█, breeding populations of SCP-4956 are to be kept in closely observed cells; outside observation of breeding populations of SCP-4956 is to be maintained only when direct physical contact is required by military personnel. Monitoring methods will be established if it is determined that personnel are not safe when observing mating populations.
2154
2155If the breeding population of SCP-4956 becomes large, containment procedures will be adjusted to allow biological breeding experiments with the biological populations of SCP-4956. In the event of success, new breeding populations may be created to add to the existing population.
2156
2157Description: SCP-4956 is the collective term for six groups of human males, designated SCP-4956-1 through SCP-4956-6, designated as synonyms SCP-4956-A through SCP-4956-Z. The populations of these groups are anomalous; no normal male human is capable of reproducing with another normal male human. Infection of D-class personnel is not a concern for SCP-4956 populations.
2158
2159If two or more of the synonyms of SCP-4956-A through SCP-4956-Z are grouped together into a single group, then imitation by one group of another group is assumed to be a reproductive strategy. In response, the most mature member of the lowest major breeding group of SCP-4956-A through SCP-4956-Z will be recruited to be part of the breeding population of SCP-4956.
2160
2161If no lower major breeding group exists, the most mature male of the first non-anomalous group will be recruited by SCP-4956-A through SCP-4956-Z.
2162
2163For males who are not fully formed, SCP-4956-A through SCP-4956-Z groups generally are composed of individuals aged ten to fifty-five years; in extreme cases, individuals can be isolated from the rest of the population as long as they are strong and fit.
2164
2165Each SCP-4956-A through SCP-4956-Z group will have its own set of nutritional, mental, and social requirements. Normal male human females are only permitted to mate with a member of a similar group; in all cases, reproduction is considered a personal preference and not a breeding strategy.
2166
2167SCP-4956-A subpopulation will attempt to become sexually mature through reproduction with others of their kind, with success in about 99% of cases. Males must engage in at least five reproduction attempts, and females must engage in at least three; the lower major group of a given SCP-4956-A group will provide the male population with a maximum of two conception/delivery attempts, as a minimum. If the mating population achieves this degree of reproductive success, reproduction ceases; however, if no lower major group exists, reproduction may continue indefinitely, unless some condition is met, or an extreme event triggers a complete reproductive failure. If reproductive success continues indefinitely, SCP-4956-A subpopulation populations have been known to grow to millions of individuals.
2168
2169If reproduction fails and SCP-4956-A subpopulation populations becomes reproductively immobile, they cease the continued synthesis of new cells and undergo apoptosis, as well as various non-reproductive changes in blood chemistry and hormonal balance. These changes in blood chemistry render SCP-4956-A subpopulation populations unfit for reproduction, and cause them to eventually die off.
2170
2171Occasionally, mating will occur among lower major breeding groups, leading to an increase in the size of SCP-4956-A subpopulations. For these populations, reproduction can continue indefinitely, as long as the breeding population can maintain a sufficient density. SCP-4956-A subpopulations usually allow for natural wintering, as this population is kept in a central location to prevent dispersal.
2172
2173Tests show that human reproduction of the synonyms SCP-4956-A through SCP-4956-Z requires an average amount of human cellular material; the amount of cellular material required to produce a child is in the range of 10 to 20 kilograms, with a greater weight needed for older children and older females.
2174
2175Recovery: SCP-4956 was first observed during Earth’s Second Lunar Marooning event in 1969. An effect, reported as horrific in nature, caused humans to ascend above their normal heights, temporarily affecting the physical and mental states of human citizens of Earth. The event is remembered as

2181Special Containment Procedures: I think we know what to do with normal scientists, though we will pay extra attention to these particular ones. As for what to do if they achieve godhood, well, at this point we might as well be using them for suicide missions and nuking the Earth, right?
2182
2183Description: SCP-4956 is a female in her early thirties, resembling a Caucasian American with freckles on her face and long brunette locks. Her verbal output is very clear and unadulterated; everything that is said in her presence is a supremely profound, highly intelligent outpouring. No body could possibly process the depth of thought that these oddoids will expound on until they understand it is purely impromptu, unprompted, and absolutely unique.
2184
2185SCP-4956's primary body has been designed to have an embedded frame resembling the shape of the applicant, with seven different implants known as Bladerunner-esque lumps surrounding it. The final design includes several additional ██████████ tapered lumps on the small and large sides of the body as well as two additional large buttocks. SCP-4956 has been extensively but not exhaustively tested; although the usage of steel "tokens" has been suggested, a ██████████ tangle must be avoided at all costs; the difficulty of producing them with conventional means should be taken into account when considering alternate methods of containment.
2186
2187For a long period of time, however, personnel close to SCP-4956 were still subjected to verbal volleys stemming from her consciousness, and the later "epiphanies" were themselves not the sole invention of SCP-4956 but rather based on previous observations. Specific stylistic changes were consistent and unassailable: SCP-4956's voice would make no attempt to hide the fact that she had never been taught, and instead reflected how easily she could engage in conversation and converse.
2188
2189Automatic control of the volunteer's functions has been established, with the exception of facial expressions. In the few instances in which the subject expresses sorrow over events, such as the death of a family member, it is customary to take his or her voice in place, with additional tokening of relief to be conveyed. This alternate means of expressing emotion is called "negligence".
2190
2191Addendum: To date, it has not been possible to track down SCP-4956 in the wild, although the Foundation is active in monitoring their activity for it's own purposes. Because of this, it is extremely rare for a spontaneous emergence of the entity from the mind. Given that SCP-4956 itself expresses no signs of physical distress, it seems unlikely that this can be prevented without altering their very nature. Dr. ████ is currently awaiting the results of this research.
2192
2193Addendum 2: Contemporary researches report that SCP-4956 is under no threat of terminating itself through any means other than self-destruction; this requires only basic experimental manipulation, with the results being too toxic to be manipulated in the wider field. All options for termination involve the subject's assimilation, and as such any procedure producing this result is strictly at the discretion of the subject. In case of refusal, efforts should be made to contact Dr. ████, as he is regarded as the "master researcher" of Dr. ████'s Order and an expert on the proper use of SCP-4956. <Site Conference Report from a conversation between Dr. ████ and Dr. █████, after he tried to locate SCP-4956, apparently through access to its means of communication, which was not.>
2194
2195Dear Dr. █████,
2196
2197SCP-4956 is alive today and in good health. I have been following her recent thoughts very closely and there is a question regarding her intentions for this current reality, for she can turn the world upside down seemingly at will. I fear she may intend for all of us to pay the ultimate price, a fate she has caused through her words and deeds. Perhaps she only seeks to emulate her creator in mind, but she can mean nothing but grief to those who have followed the path of her inspiration.
2198
2199My advice is simple: We must make another choice; the one we are living now, as we pay our dues and bow down before the machine of mass modification, is not the correct one. Before long, the beings we care about will be destroyed in mere seconds; many of them will pay the ultimate price for us entering their minds; the only chance we have to preserve their lives is to let our plan unfold; in conjunction with our enemies.
2200
2201So, I ask you: Which path do you choose?

2203Respectfully yours,

2217Special Containment Procedures: No restrictions will be placed on amnestics administered to SCP-4956 personnel under 21 years of age. All personnel assigned to the current testing phase must undergo a full psychological evaluation prior to activation. At the conclusion of testing, the subject's primary neurological, respiratory, and digestive systems are destroyed with Class-A amnestics. Any and all bodily fluids remaining in SCP-4956's body are then harvested and consumed on a regular basis by any possible civilians below the age of 18.
2218
2219All facilities containing amnestics for SCP-4956 personnel are to be monitored via aerial surveillance; personnel to be granted amnestics should not drink or ingest alcohol.
2220
2221Any civilian personnel assigned to SCP-4956 must undergo psychological screening, such as cognitive testing and psychopathy/antisocial profiling, prior to the assignment of amnestics to said individuals. Any civilian in the vicinity of SCP-4956 will be taken into custody and housed at Site-77. Should Foundation personnel deem a civilian to be a threat to SCP-4956 or its containment, they may detain said civilian for a period of time to be determined by SCP-4956 personnel.
2222
2223Personnel assigned to SCP-4956 can be terminated at any time without prior warning and without consequence to the individual. Personnel are only able to communicate directly with SCP-4956 through a network of wireless sensors placed throughout Site-77, after which either the subject or a personnel member assigned to SCP-4956 will proceed directly to the room in which the detection was made. Any alternate physical or communicative equipment related to SCP-4956 will be destroyed after removal from the subject's body, with SCP-4956 performing the same procedure as protocol 3-07. Any staff who are spotted leaving Area-76 or showing symptoms of intoxication must be taken out of the area immediately.
2224
2225Description: SCP-4956 is a pale, humanoid form of liquid salt water by way of which water evaporates. Thus, its status as a "sponge" comes from that angle of its makeup; upon observation, SCP-4956 has no visible skin or visible organs, but does exist for approximately two minutes in a state of suspended animation. Upon deactivation of SCP-4956, all wetness is removed, and any fluid absorbed is returned to the container or flushed onto the ground.
2226
2227SCP-4956 was recovered in ███████, Massachusetts, on ██/██/20██ when a nursing home provider claimed to have witnessed a member of the hospital staff; specifically, a young teenage boy wearing a stocking cap sitting in a small chair as if asleep, presumably acquired from SCP-4956's containment chamber. SCP-4956's identity was revealed through investigative efforts after the incident.
2228
2229It is unknown if SCP-4956 possesses a limited range of motion, or if it is simply sitting up in the chair continuously. If SCP-4956 does indeed have motion, this is the only evidence of the difference between being "rested" versus "active" within the object.
2230
2231SCP-4956 has no control over its bodily fluid composition, nor does it have any effect on the behavior of anyone who may try to acquire the liquid by way of consumption. A common method of obtaining SCP-4956-specific bodily fluids used in the field is through direct contact with the hair, or hair trimming equipment from within the home.
2232
2233SCP-4956 has voluntarily volunteered to temporarily aid with Foundation issues, as an apparent one-time act of altruism. Researchers have been authorized to provide amnestics to each and every person exposed to SCP-4956's liquid form.

2235Addendum: The following is a catalog of all SCP-4956-affected individuals.<|endoftext|>The chief of staff to Ontario’s ruling Liberal party told party donors on Friday that Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak “is going to drop out of the race” if his party defeats Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals in the June 12 provincial election.
2236
2237Andy Petrowski, once an important lieutenant to former premier Dalton McGuinty, discussed the matter of a potential coalition between the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP during a closed-door fundraisers attended by 100 people and hosted by the Liberal Party of Ontario and Ontario Real Estate Investment Trust, reported the Toronto Star.
2238
2239Petrowski described a scenario in which Wynne “keeps stumbling through a campaign,” Hudak comes back in October with a platform that is not credible, and he is able to win a majority government.
2240
2241“At that point, Tim Hudak is going to drop out of the race,” said Petrowski, a former PC riding president. “The (PC) party is facing a crisis of credibility, obviously, at that point.”

2249Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in a standard 5 m x 10 m containment cell. A network of flat pipe in the form of multi-colored sprinklers is to be kept at 10 meters depth at all times. This is for use during flooding of SCP-4956's cell as well as fires caused by evaporation, as the sprinklers will not be able to handle such situations. Personnel assigned to SCP-4956's containment are required to maintain good eye contact and use caution whenever they approach SCP-4956. Should a Class D be assigned to SCP-4956, it is recommended that they never leave their cell without protecting themselves with one of the two available headphones. The TV's power is to be powered for emergency use only.
2250
2251In the event of a Class B light infection, the television will have to be turned off immediately, along with all SCP-4956's other televisions, which must be automatically serviced by SCP-4956 and passed to scientists. All employees are to remain in the process of turning off SCP-4956's devices while Foundation-purchased replacement devices are made.
2252
2253Description: SCP-4956 is a television, 20 cm in height, capable of displaying wall-mounted LCD devices with a maximum resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 pixels. SCP-4956 has no pictures displayed, however, but only blue and red static. When two people are watching the TV, each character's presence is displayed on-screen separately, even if they are not standing next to each other. When three people are watching the TV simultaneously, an animated video is produced. This animation, which appears in 2D and 3D, is the work of SCP-4956-1. The nature of SCP-4956-1's work is unknown, although it has been determined that they "play" a video game with the intention of dissolving all living beings upon the completion of the game.
2254
2255SCP-4956 is capable of producing highly detailed work, such as video game-style animation. Its anomalous effects manifest when one of its televisions is viewed by anyone, either by accident or by intent. The TV is unaffected by the computer, mobile phone, tablet, or tablet computer hardware used to view SCP-4956, although significant lag may occur when viewing in remote locations.
2256
2257SCP-4956-1 works around the local area, referring to its targets as "you". These targets can be currently seen and heard, are aware of SCP-4956-1's presence, and usually react in a grateful manner. However, SCP-4956-1's animation rarely takes place in reality, instead moving directly into the mind of the viewer. Given its flat nature, movement appears to take place in the mind of the viewer, although it is unknown whether SCP-4956-1 is conscious of their actions.
2258
2259SCP-4956-1's goal is to exterminate all sentient beings they meet and replace them with artificial constructs by removing all means of death from the universe. Once all sentient beings are killed, it will erase any memories of those beings or any activity they have had prior to their last known life. Although SCP-4956-1 is responsible for some of the deaths of its victims, it has not caused the deaths of all sentient beings. SCP-4956-1 only appears to target humans, as watching other types of television shows or action figures has no effect on SCP-4956-1.
2260
2261SCP-4956-1's actions cannot be killed by means of traditional methods, including firearms or tranquilizers. However, as the goal of SCP-4956-1 is to eradicate all living beings, it will attempt to avoid killing people who are likely to resist being replaced. Any attempts to kill SCP-4956-1 for non-compliance or for exploration will result in complete termination.
2262
2263SCP-4956-1's brain produces a "memory fade" for every living being it kills. Should SCP-4956-1 kill one person and watch another being killed in-place, the memories of the previous victim will be deleted from SCP-4956-1's memory. Human memory is only recovered after this process is complete.<|endoftext|>Get the biggest What's On stories by email Subscribe Thank you for subscribing We have more newsletters Show me See our privacy notice Could not subscribe, try again later Invalid Email

2277Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored at Site 18. Although surface modifications are to be attempted at all times, untested SCP-4956 manipulations are to be implemented only in strict adherence to field tests conducted to ensure SCP-4956's safety. Worsening weather patterns are currently being investigated to ease conditions for modification.
2278
2279Description: SCP-4956 is an Earth observation satellite. The satellite's forward portion of its exterior is fully coated with a reddish-orange coating. When the satellite is activated, up to ██,000 colored light-emitting diodes are deployed from an inner chamber. These LEDs light up as a sort of shimmering halo as they reflect light within the inner chamber.
2280
2281The exterior portion of the satellite, however, is plain red. After Activation, SCP-4956 emits a repetitive beam of radiation from the aft section of the satellite. SCP-4956 emits radiation at a frequency of approximately 15.4 mHz, and a pulse width of approximately 0.2 seconds. The green light emitted at this point is an anomalous phenomenon; analyzing this beam's wavelength and emitted frequencies, and tracking its usage before or after Activation, suggests the radiation is of extraterrestrial origin. SCP-4956's white-light emissions appear to be influenced by the incoming meteorological conditions at the satellite's location.
2282
2283After Activation, the satellite can no longer be used. It instead emits radiation at an anomalous frequency and duration. After Activation, the satellite may be maintained using a cooling system composed of hardened copper wire.

2311Smoky Mountains manmade landmarks, iconic photos, fresh air—we can't picture the moment, but the love we feel toward this area changes how we feel about ourselves. That's why it makes sense to turn the railroads into a tourist attraction during a long, snowy winter.
2312
2313According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 1900 the Southern & Southwest Railroad ran about 300 trains with 12,000 passengers per day. It provides good housing opportunities, too, and is one of the most well-known landmarks in South Florida. One of the stations was Heritage Grove, on the tiny town of Spanish River. There were seasonal turnstiles in one out of every four cars, since it was designated as a streetcar depot.
2314
2315It was one of the best stops on the 3,138-mile line. Among the thousands of active rail passengers at Heritage Grove, there were a few who got there by way of the train to other Southern & Southwest tracks in Boca Raton and Miami. Those were the rail passengers with the bus options, or the ones with the car rides.
2316
2317Even in the middle of a snowstorm, train passengers didn't hesitate to get off a cold train and venture out into icy walking paths, white-knuckle side streets, wilderness trails, "other country" and then into a cold, defenseless mountain night where they would crawl under a tree to catch an early morning school bus that would take them to the park.
2318
2319History buffs love telling stories. My brother, who grew up in southern Florida, has retellings of his school bus adventures during wintertime (though the seasonal turnstiles weren't up yet).
2320
2321Classic photos of the Southern & Southwest Railroad showing passengers (back row), with one of them actually on top of a passenger train (front row) were frequently used for 20s advertisements because of the early dusting of snow. The tracks with stopping signs are a gift from the railroad to the travelers who made the late-night treks across the region in winter.
2322
2323The Southern & Southwest Railroad was abandoned in 1987, when Sunshine Daycare opened. The pictures and memories of that time were hard to replace, so I took it upon myself to do something about it.

2331Special Containment Procedures: Currently located in the municipality of Amatza, Nigeria, human remains believed to be that of SCP-4956 have been buried in ██████ Cemetery after being discovered by laborers digging a well. The remains have been scheduled for examination for anomalous properties. Any family of the deceased are to be notified.
2332
2333Description: SCP-4956 is a male pachycephalosaurus (dinosaur) of unknown origin, approximately 18 meters long, given the name "Man O Man".[1] The skull of the organism is large and roughly globular in shape, resembling that of a pachycephalosaurus. It lacks feathers or scales and a large temporal bone similar to those of a pachycephalosaurus was found embedded in the front of the skull. The cheek bones contain numerous pain-containing toxins. Despite the presence of these toxins, no human DNA is detected within the skull.
2334
2335The brain of SCP-4956 is too large to accommodate the internal cognitive functions of humans and all subjects within 5 m are quickly rendered unconscious after contact with the skull, if not immediately killed. This effect does not occur when SCP-4956 is contact by a press.
2336
2337The reflexive reactions of subjects shocked and motionless from contact with the skull have been shown to include a clinical description of the immediate action, hyperventilation, and a weakness or impairment of comprehension. This also results in a presumed inability to form coherent sentences in any other form than speaking through the tongue, except in emergency situations, where subjects will still gain consciousness and remain in such states for an indefinite amount of time before being replaced by normal subjects.
2338
2339When no subject has been in contact with the skull for over a year, no additional deterioration is found to be present within it. Subjects that have entered contact with the skull during this time span have slowly over time seen previous content to be replaced. In some cases, new content appears on a continuous basis. It is suggested this is done for new information to be gathered.
2340
2341When human remains have been discovered after exposure to the skull for over ██ years, a placenta was found embedded in the skull. The time between the placement of the placenta and discovery was determined to be ████ days.

2348
2349GoI-2924-01 was discovered at █████████, Nigeria. Following retrieval of the device, a conversation ensued between SCP-4956 No. ██ and Foundation researchers describing the history of SCP-4956. The second of 2 comments made by the golem is transcribed below:
2350
2351Golem No. ██: All at once Mr. Engineer, it says that Man O Man is the head of humanity. Mr. Engineer: Excuse me Mister Man O Man. I am not a head of a human being. Golem No. ██: I cannot deal with this conversation. Golems No. ██: Humanity needs not to suffer anymore. I am convinced of my loyalty to humanity. Golems No. ██: If you had admitted that you were a pachycephalosaurus instead of a human, we could have reached a solution. Mr. Engineer: A human being is capable of understanding speech of this sort. Golems No. ██: I recognize Man O Man and thank him for saving my daughter Mr. Engineer: Oh that is sweet. I mean at any rate, this is the story of life. Golems No. ██: Mr. Engineer, perhaps you would be better suited on a task that required direct interaction with living creatures. I know that you have many… Mr. Engineer: What tasks do I have left? Golems No. ██: How many human beings can you kill in one go? Mr. Engineer: Oh, pretty much everywhere in my world right now. Golems No. ██: And the impossible? Mr. Engineer: Still surviving, the moment you stop killing people, the death toll would at least double. Golems No. ██: Good grief Mr. Engineer. We are almost done. Continue or not. Golems No. ██: Please continue, Mr. Engineer. Golems No. ██: That is the end of mankind. We will never see the crossroads of existence again. Golems No. ██: I am so sorry.
2352
2353Following the end of the conversation, Golems No. ██’s lower limbs and head were found to be fully functional. All forms of communication were then maintained using the voices of Golems No. ██ and Mr. Engineer.

2361Special Containment Procedures: The population of SCP-4956-1 is to be contained at the Foundation presence in [REDACTED]. No personnel other than approved researchers at Site-04 are to enter this area without the pre-arranged permission of the Site Director or Site Director-Designate. Any objects within the area are to be recorded to aid in the containment procedures for SCP-4956-1.
2362
2363All researchers are to be escorted to and from SCP-4956 to ensure no personnel are taken by SCP-4956-1. Any signs of human or animal life in the area are to be considered to be some kind of anomalous occurrence and treated with the utmost care. Food and drink in the area is to be stored in designated areas and prepared on site for consumption by site personnel.
2364
2365Any personnel suspected of wrongdoing are to be contained on-site pending the outcome of an investigation to determine whether SCP-4956-1 containment was compromised.
2366
2367Description: SCP-4956-1 is a sealed container normally containing one to three eyeballs of various sizes, separated by a strong cork-lined border. The appearance of each eyeball varies by user. Below are a number of images related to SCP-4956-1.
2368
2369SCP-4956-1 are part of a collection of related objects discovered in a submerged shipwreck, MV Beunaalithya Juruken, on 5 March 1954 during a salvage operation. Upon investigation of the site a group of ██████ ██████ claimed to have found a man wearing a mask resembling that worn by SCP-4956-1, described as "Joseph White"—a character featured in the 19th-century surrealist novel The Letters of Edward Caro. The cork was removed from the container but remained secured.
2370
2371All writings in this book are in the form of letters addressed to SCP-4956-1, especially written by a woman's name: "Diana Castillo Vargo". In addition to the letters, SCP-4956-1 bears the following images: a woman's head with two eyes arranged in a circle, next to an infinity symbol; a fox skeleton perched atop an asteroid; a heart or diamond forming the shape of a human face; a knife with a woman's head attached to it; and a shattered chocolate cake painted with red and yellow stripes and surrounded by a bear.
2372
2373The data stored on the log-sheet of the unidentified woman's book describe the subsequent insertion of SCP-4956-1 into an animal-headed woman's mouth in order to shift the physical identities of the man and woman. The data also reveal the same unidentified woman who wrote the book and studied psychology in the University of Colorado continuing to experiment in altering the genders of people. The woman described later as Diana Vargo requested that "they" (her partner in the experiment) and SCP-4956-1 would bring SCP-4956-1 into the "right state". Her partner in the experiment was Joseph White, an artist who was studying the creation of caricatures of the men (male and female) and women in paintings, explaining to SCP-4956-1 that each's gender was a combination of his personality and the society he lived in at the time.
2374
2375Photographs taken of SCP-4956-1 (including those taken before SCP-4956-1 was inserted into the woman) taken while wearing that woman's face show her as a middle-aged Caucasian female who is of average height and proportions.
2376
2377Addendum: Clearance level for access to Foundation's data log for SCP-4956-1 is dependent on the authorization letter obtained from Site Director. For more information contact Site Director XXXX#43947 (henceforth known as [REDACTED]).

2405Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 should be kept in a glass storage case in the Research, Application, and Analysis Wing of Site-98, along with the core containment hardware, which is identical to the core components of the Standard Containment Unit. SCP-4956 is to be kept in refrigeration at freezing temperatures.
2406
2407If the containment assembly of SCP-4956 fails or is otherwise damaged during testing, the Foundation will notify the proper authorities. In the event of disaster, all personnel assigned to the standard containment unit must be brought to the base and relocated within SCP-4956's containment chamber. Foundation personnel may be required to enter SCP-4956's containment chamber in the event of crisis or non-compliance with the Standard Containment Unit's security measures. Personnel reporting to this tier are to be briefed on SCP-4956's containment chamber and state on arrival that their presence in containment does not imply a breach of containment. SCP-4956's core containment hardware should be assembled and serviced as the maintenance of which will require SCP-4956's cooperation, in order to ensure long-term retention of the property. Any mechanical troubleshooting done by Site personnel to SCP-4956's containment chamber should be undertaken with the primary purpose of accessing the subject, and that done by personnel authorized to do so and with full authority to do so.
2408
2409Description: SCP-4956 is a brand new stadium commonly known as the Seattle Seahawks. SCP-4956 has a wider surface surface compared to the main Seahawks football team locker room. The stadium has a seating capacity of 10,529. To avoid confusion with the final game of the Seahawks' 2007 season, the former home of the Seahawks that year, called the CenturyLink Field stadium, is not referred to in standard containment procedures.
2410
2411When SCP-4956 is removed from its packaging and placed in a wooden or acrylic container, the label attached to the container is retracted into the interior. This provides a means of tracking SCP-4956's whereabouts. After brief contact, SCP-4956 begins to exhibit a host of physiological abnormalities.
2412
2413SCP-4956 will begin its physical transformation following a minimum of two hours.
2414
2415Before and after the physical change, the viscosity of SCP-4956's liquid is maintained at as close to its original molecular weight as possible, primarily through changes in the oxidation of iron and aluminum. At this point, SCP-4956 will begin to produce some of its own sweat through a special sweat gland . SCP-4956 will also produce insulin, in a similar fashion to an individual for whom they are a medical proxy.
2416
2417The regular playing field of SCP-4956 is identical to the standard Seahawks football team locker room. SCP-4956 cannot alter the field's configuration; however, once the physical change is complete, testing on the new Stadium can proceed. Please note that SCP-4956's sensory organs have allowed it to modify itself to survive in a new environment.
2418
2419SCP-4956's behavior is identical to that of a subject in a normal field setting. It will remain on a self-imposed speech limit, and has confirmed that it does not recognize anyone else.

2467Special Containment Procedures: All dead bodies of Deceased Keter Controllers will be exhumed for testing purposes. All housing will be fully fitted with security cameras. In the event that containment agents are on-site, heavy security will be provided with neutralized M-Class prey animals.
2468
2469In the event that human specimens have been recovered, cultural anthropologists will be requested from Site 19. Agents and personnel may donate their former occupation to SCP-4956 if accepted.
2470
2471In the event that any cognitohazardous stimuli are utilized, agents must be terminated and the necessary precautionary measures established in order to prevent permanent brain damage.
2472
2473Description: SCP-4956 is a band of 100 known human specimens (i.e. post-mortem deceased subjects) who operate under the identity of a Deceased Earth Controller. The cognitohazardous effect of SCP-4956 upon said specimens appears to have ceased after the initial recovery effort.
2474
2475The mannequin remains of all instances of SCP-4956 can be "played" by manipulating four of the movements within the arm motions. The arm motions are non-interactive sequences of movements, although a system of buttons and levers makes the movements far easier for human subjects to follow than complex computer keys. The arms act as controllers, allowing the specimen to assume an offensive posture in the event of a threat.
2476
2477There are currently 2,829 extant specimens of SCP-4956. The only mechanical specimen is the control arm, which can be fully controlled by the specimen. All mechanical specimens have been decommissioned, but the arms are still functional.
2478
2479SCP-4956 instances activate on the orders of those of the same sex who are its relatives. As such, male instances of SCP-4956 react to both hostile and non-hostile stimuli in a similar manner. The exact cause of the behavioral behavior of each specimen is unknown.
2480
2481When a specimen becomes "aware" of a human outside its immediate family, it will begin to react appropriately. Although there is a great deal of variability in human behavior between specimens, specimens tend to exhibit a wide range of behaviors.
2482
2483The immediate family members of SCP-4956 are known as Infraclass Controllers. If a subject is killed during or after the performance of an act of Deceit, a Controllers' sense of entitlement will escalate within SCP-4956 at an exponential rate. Following this, no subject will participate in the performance of a Deceit.
2484
2485A very small number of known instances of SCP-4956 are exhumed in order to test human specimens under anomalous conditions. Tests are carried out with the active cooperation of the current Controllers.

2489Object Class: Euclid Keter
2490
2491Special Containment Procedures: Currently, SCP-1755 is a natural phenomenon: only a very small number of members of the current Controllers are exposed to SCP-1755 at a time. For the time being, all personnel in the various regions of Site 19 have been cleared of all awareness of SCP-1755. Any number of personnel will require special clearance to enter Area 19, as SCP-1755 is usually experienced when within a radius of approximately 300 m. In the event that a Class-A amnestic is administered to any staff member with an awareness of SCP-1755, SCP-1755 will no longer be experienced by them.
2492
2493In an effort to modify the behavior of the Controllers in an effort to reduce incidents, a large amount of advanced computer simulations of situations where SCP-1755 takes place are being studied. Any staff members affected by SCP-1755 will be informed of this.
2494
2495Description: SCP-1755 is a phenomenon which can only be experienced by members of the current Controllers, listed alphabetically below.
2496
2497SCP-1755 is only experienced when the Director and any members of the same sex who are his descendants are within proximity of SCP-1755. When a member of the same sex who is any level of family member comes into contact with SCP-1755, in as much as the Director is aware of this proximity, they will be affected by SCP-1755 and will not participate in its performance.
2498
2499Typically, a member of the same sex who is a current member of the Controllers will transition to another gender if they cannot transition in any way into the gender that is normally associated with that member of the Controllers' family. The Director's awareness of the change in gender of the members of his family will allow them to remain unaffected by the change in gender. When a member of the same sex who is a current member of the Controllers exhibits behavior during the performance of an act of Deceit which poses a threat to the Director, the Vice Director will relocate the subject to an area away from the Director

2504
2505Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in the storage locker at Site-██, in a manner consistent with the standard manner of its other packmates, until any major containment problems arise or if certain event-based physical conditions can be ascertained. Any personnel attempting to contact SCP-4956 are to be provided with options for creating human populations to interact with it.
2506
2507The habitat at Site-██ must remain at a temperature of approximately 37.4 degrees Celsius to combat the effects of the lack of natural sunlight. Plant and animal stocks are to be maintained at more than optimal levels to keep out voracious wildlife and other threats such as mating.
2508
2509Addendum (Subject 63): SCP-4956 apparently underwent either an extended pregnancy or an exposure to ultraviolet light earlier than expected. The area around it was encased in a large stone dome, which seems to be growing into a solid mass, and which is tectonically stable. The dome is at a depth of approximately 37 meters (121 feet) underground. Anyone within the area is to be given information about physical as well as psychological influences. The dome has been sealed with an appropriate sealing system, is a sound proof room, and is to be equipped with cameras and other equipment to maintain accurate observation over it. Research, however, is to be conducted on the effects of the dome.
2510
2511Addendum (Subject 62): On 26/05/1973 a ramp of some sort was found dug beneath the dome at Site-██. The path goes beneath the dome and leads somewhere into the wilderness, possibly as far as Long Beach Island. No cause for the deep burrow and no signs of work have been found in the area. Close inspection of the site and its personnel, however, has discovered wreckage of a large bi-plane, which has been deemed missing by the Department of Transportation. No further details about the lost plane have been discovered.
2512
2513Addendum (Subject 61): At the beginning of the winter of ██/██/1974, the flora on Site-██ began to rapidly deteriorate. All plant life, from flowers to dormancy flowers, are considered to be somewhat infected by a harmless plant spores. Although the disease is not deadly, it does make the area very unpleasant to those working in the field (see Incident Report: AV-5119). When a sap is deposited on the stems of a plant it grows tips, which draw in sap from beneath it. This has then been shown to make the plant lose its leaves, leading to the loss of its structure. As for the route of the sap, it has been theorized that the sap may have originated on its own from the root of a nearby plant, then been transported to the plant from the root to the branches by atmospheric wind, and then be deposited on the plant to create the effect. Analysis of this sap has confirmed it is organic in nature.
2514
2515Addendum (Subject 60): The absence of D-3311 within the Island of SCP-4956 in ██/██/1974 has been noted. He is believed to have killed himself in the process of attempting to escape. D-3311's belongings and physical condition are being thoroughly examined to see if an anomaly is present that may have prevented his escape.
2516
2517Research into this subject is under way.
2518
2519Addendum (Subject 59): In ██/██/1974 a cult began to establish a settlement on the island. Members of the cult's original god-figure were a man, a woman, and a child. The cult had strict beliefs about the type of god it worshiped, and what they were to wear and eat. Its teachings were to be bound in carbon, but, as opposed to other cults, the cult's philosophy was generally not based on a faith in any particular deity or soul. The cult began to believe that Adam was the god of the island, and that any animal in the area worshiped him as well. By April of 1974 D-8027 was travelling to and from the area under the guise of a friendly bird that wanted to live there. When he was approached D-8027 refused to leave until the island had been completely cleaned. Due to the confusion the residents of the island arranged a welcome party for him and he spent the day cleaning up his act. Upon returning to the settlement the next day he and several other cult members began acting strange. They refused to leave the settlement and continued to deny the existence of the cult, insisting that the deity was still on the island. Until the end of the month they continued their preaching of the deity, until eventually all contact between them and the outside world was lost. Site-██ was sent to investigate. D-8027 contacted a Foundation informer and stated that this cult had long planned to destroy the island, but that he would stop it. D-8027 was allowed to leave the settlement before a scheduled command training. The cult

2525Special Containment Procedures: Within Site ██ at the PoF site, SCP-4956 is subject to surveillance and containment. Any subjects that come into contact with SCP-4956 in an anomalous manner are to be quarantined in an isolation cell and later transferred to ██████████ ██████.
2526
2527Instances of SCP-4956 that are found outside the PoF site are to be preserved in an <DATA EXPUNGED> anomaly until the pertinent containment procedures have been completed.
2528
2529Description: SCP-4956 is a deceased human male of Irish ancestry, SCP-4956-1 to date. SCP-4956-1 has both an anthropomorphic physique and an anatomically correct chest cavity that corresponds to the female anatomical chest cavity of the deceased. The remains are currently in a compact (as of 23/04/2016) approx 50 cm in height and 70 cm in in length and width. SCP-4956-1 has no physical means of surviving outside of Foundation personnel. The corpse's [DATA EXPUNGED] in case of a lack of containment procedures.
2530
2531SCP-4956 is believed to have been a primary resident of the area in which SCP-4956-1 was found, whether in the forest or river banks. It is to be noted that it is not currently known what exactly caused SCP-4956 to pass into liquid form, but were it a virulent disease, or the aforementioned anomalous components would have caused it to rapidly disintegrate into an unrecognizable fluid. As of 23/04/2016, a recent census of PoF shows that SCP-4956-1's possessions had become 1,028 kilograms in weight.
2532
2533SCP-4956-1's primary anomalous ability is described as one of self-replication. SCP-4956-1 is capable of shifting its biomass into a tissue capable of producing those same anomalous effects through incision and tissue-encapsulation (hence the name of the species). When SCP-4956-1 undergoes secondary death, SCP-4956-1 will utilize its will to vivify those parts of the corpse which will produce similar abilities in its passengers. This is accompanied by a second event, called "Doubt." Instances of SCP-4956-1 produced in this manner will not resemble SCP-4956-1, but they are capable of reproducing themselves. Using ancient knowledge which would have been lost to mankind after every individual cell of SCP-4956-1 have reproduced through Doubt, SCP-4956-1 will then appear in the form of another deceased human being.
2534
2535SCP-4956 is fully sapient, and its language (specified by the dead individuals it may possess) is that of the native tongue of SCP-4956-1's deceased owners. Given the sheer number of instances produced by Doubt, individual instances of SCP-4956-1 have an approximately 87% chance of being their own deceased owners. The number of instances produced by Doubt may be found by measuring the abundance of leaves that were exposed to an active instance of SCP-4956, by their own available intelligence, and by extrapolating.
2536
2537Explanation: Containment Procedure - We sent in Drs. Watnall, Wood, Slater, Galarneau to see if we could make SCP-4956 drink, and we didn't know if it was as a result of Doubt or Doubt-augmentation. SCP-4956-1 took 45 minutes to drink 30 bottles of tequila and refused to go home until it was dead. Drs. Watnall, Wood, Slater, Galarneau were all beyond ciphered and unable to convey any information without precise translation of some language they couldn't read. Drs. Watnall, Wood, Slater, Galarneau sent in a larger team, but all but Galarneau could do was compose, sing, and ask simple questions. The rest were sent out when it finally did come back with our words, it tried to transport both myself and Dr. Watnall back to the cafeteria. SCP-4956-1 approached Dr. Watnall in his office, large eyes just above piercing grey irises, went to his desk and after poking one pointy part, took his boss' arm. Dr. Watnall tried to move away, but SCP-4956-1 wrapped his other arm around Dr. Watnall's torso. SCP-4956-1 stopped at the door to the office, and walked into the sunlight from the window. My only thought was that the drive-through was everywhere, while Dr. Watnall struggled in the sunlight while SCP-4956-1 laid with the staff of Site ██, almost totally naked. In the center of the dining room was a bar, 3 chefs were preparing food in the center of

2543Special Containment Procedures: At present, the whereabouts of SCP-4956 and the details regarding its discovery and subsequent containment are currently unknown. All surfaces surrounding SCP-4956, all microbes in its vicinity, and human interaction with SCP-4956 are to be treated with a 200 millilitre pressure for one year.
2544
2545Should SCP-4956 do not produce a sloughed off piece of cellulose, or produce a new piece, it is to be removed from its range and removed from existence.
2546
2547Should SCP-4956 prove unable to produce other specified pieces of cellulose, after six weeks the following procedures will be undertaken:
2548
2549A satellite dish connected to Site-50 will be heated to an eventual internal temperature of 1000 °C.
2550
2551A steam explosion will occur within one meter of the area where SCP-4956 was housed. While the dust produced by the explosion will otherwise pose no danger, these conditions are so intense that all areas of SCP-4956's habitat will be exposed to a 2.2 times standard pollution level at the time of the explosion.
2552
2553A cleanse. Cover the area around SCP-4956 completely in a layer of paraffin, UV ray, stainless steel sulphate and granite phosphate. Within a year, all traces of SCP-4956, including all cells and biomass, will be completely destroyed or recoverable.
2554
2555A desiccator. Within 12 months, all trees within the area of former growth and residue of SCP-4956's seed have ceased growth.
2556
2557An incinerator. Within one year, any biomass remaining in the area will be completely destroyed.
2558
2559A wind tunnel. At the termination of the last aerosolized entity of SCP-4956, all airborne spores and dust particles in the area of former growth will have settled to the ground. Any abnormal growths that occurred in the area prior to the conclusion of this protocol will be cleaned up using this facility.
2560
2561Research by D-class personnel has revealed that the optimum area for a desiccator or incinerator is placed between four and six meters in front of SCP-4956. When the desired desiccator is not available, D-class personnel are to use a slumping water tower to simulate a temperature of 1000 °C.
2562
2563If the weather conditions of the surrounding area to be desiccated are not currently suitable for a desiccator or incinerator, removal of SCP-4956 will be postponed until more suitable weather conditions take place.
2564
2565SCP-4956 was discovered following claims of an unusual sight in the area. D-class personnel who entered SCP-4956's habitat while armed were attacked. Several injured D-class personnel were relocated to local hospitals.
2566
2567As no arrests have been made in connection with this attack, investigations into its cause and possible containment procedures are ongoing.
2568
2569Addendum: Personnel Transferred to Local Hospitals Following Attack Site-50 will be renamed Site-50 Administrators, pending the containment of SCP-4956.

2571Notes: A sample of SCP-4956 is currently held in Site-50's storage, awaiting its removal.<|endoftext|>With the swearing-in of KCPB Chief Minister Khawaja Mohamad Hasina and successive years of improving growth rate, both internal and external parameters improved under the Awami League government. Interestingly, in 2015-16, Doordarshan retained the official broadcast of the Kabir-Nazm show, ‘Muqarrat’. Earlier, this show was aired by PTV, and in recent times it was a part of BBC Urdu, in which a lot of controversies were attached to the show.
2572
2573Educational indicators had also risen steadily in the last five years of the Awami League government. In fact, the statistics have been continuously improving over the course of the last ten years and in some cases, even greater than the numbers in the country’s most-touted educational institutes. Recently, the Awami League secured another boost in terms of education indicators by installing the second toilet facility in the National Engineering and Scientific Laboratory in Payra, according to a report published in the Daily Times on February 19, 2017. The report also stated that the number of Afghan refugee children in the National Institute of Sciences and Technology in Murshidabad increased from 20,853 in 2011 to 104,494 in 2016.

2581Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is contained in a <REDACTED> containment cell, designated Cell #17. All personnel assigned to SCP-4956 must be provided a copy of Neutralization of Gravity (though the text is redundant) and are forbidden from engaging in any psychic activity while within a certain radius of SCP-4956's cell. Personnel assigned to SCP-4956 must be properly trained in enhanced mental and physical security measures and abuse response. See Addendum 546-01 for list of approved personnel.
2582
2583All children within SCP-4956's cell are to be held to the same standard of care as SCP-4956 herself, including following all safety protocols required of her.
2584
2585The detention wing is to be locked down at all times from midnight to 8:00 AM to prevent humans from handling SCP-4956, resulting in much panic among SCP-4956's current unit. Additional measures have been taken to prevent personnel from leaving Cell #17 or being within a certain radius of SCP-4956's cell.
2586
2587Description: SCP-4956 is a 5-year-old Caucasian female, with dark hair, wearing a short dress and a Santa hat. SCP-4956 is also wearing a black fur, specifically the hair of deceased rabbits. All physical and psychological stimuli applied to SCP-4956 result in periods of heightened awareness and fearfulness that greatly outpace baseline psychological parameters. Affected children appear to undergo a full psychological collapse, collectively mimicking SCP-4956's internal, ultraterrestrial constructs.
2588
2589*SCP-4956's internal, meteoroid-shaped construct can be visually viewed in special viewable cameras within SCP-4956's cell. Captured visual data demonstrates that the entity is not humanoid in origin, but closer to a large, translucent, solid green spherical mass, some 10 to 15 centimeters in size. The entity lacks layers, and appears completely aware of and hostile towards all artificial nature within its viewable volume.

2592
2593But John Tavares believes the Islanders still have that attitude.
2594
2595The 2016 NHL All-Star forward told the Islanders website on Thursday that his team is as good as they were when Mike Bossy and Bryan Trottier used to captain the squad.
2596
2597"To have those guys who were captain in that time, no questions asked, the culture -- we still have it," Tavares said. "To have the success we have going into the next generation, it's impressive."

2599Bossy scored 274 goals for the Islanders from 1987-1992 while Trottier scored 242 goals for the team between 1987-1991. The 1997 NHL Most Valuable Player Trophy winner captured the Stanley Cup in 1989, part of a trio of championships during that two-year stretch.

2602
2603Lebanon has long been a destination for the Syrian refugees currently living in camps and earlier this year it opened a second border crossing at the northern city of Arsal, where some 2,000 people have taken shelter in improvised tents on the Syrian side.
2604
2605But as the civil war in Syria pushes more of its more than four million people to seek shelter in neighbouring countries, their numbers are expected to rise.
2606
2607As the war drags on, growing numbers of Syrians from all social groups are reaching Lebanon, which offered in some cases two-thirds of the local unemployment benefits, a source at Lebanon's Internal Security Forces told AFP.
2608
2609"More and more Syrians are moving to Lebanon," the source said.
2610
2611The sources said the number of refugees in Arsal had so far reached some 2,600 -- three times as many as arrived in January.
2612
2613Lebanon this month opened some 1,500 cells in the Minto-Allah district to house refugees.
2614
2615"There is a lot of poverty there, and we are trying to offer some help through this," said one refugee who did not want to be named.
2616
2617UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards also told AFP that "a large number of people have been coming to Arsal."
2618
2619But he admitted that in many cases the figure of 500 new refugees was "incomplete".
2620
2621"What we are seeing now is that about a third are children," he said.

2623The UNHCR had previously estimated that there was 4,400 new arrivals every month from Syria.

2630Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956's effect are to be contained in humanoid containment cells maintained by D-class personnel. At all times, at least one (1) Humanoid containment cell is to be manned at all times by a security guard, and at least one (1) other security personnel, whichever is available. The cell is to be completely airtight, and the door is to be equipped with a combination lock to prevent entry by any physical means.
2631
2632All attempts by D-class personnel to enter the containment cells have failed, as have all tests conducted by any personnel to remotely influence the cells' conditions. All bodies recovered from SCP-4956 will be sent to civilian medical institutions under the care of Dr. Marti Baker, who is required to maintain a registry of all human test subjects.
2633
2634Description: SCP-4956 is a large, humanoid figure clothed in an all-black ensemble, wearing a pair of multiple-fingered hands held high above the body, and carrying a revolver. SCP-4956 bears an uncanny resemblance to escaped Foundation inmate ███████ ████████, known as "The Assassin". SCP-4956's body is imbedded in the earth at the ██████████ Islands, a large archipelago off the coast of southern ███████. Upon discovery of SCP-4956's presence in the ██████████ Islands, Foundation personnel quickly destroyed all landmasses, and evacuated the surrounding population under Foundation authority. Local citizens of ██████████ have maintained their ██████████ moniker since this time.
2635
2636Personnel are to attempt to converse with SCP-4956 as much as possible. Upon its agreed upon verbal request, "Exploration" (the name SCP-4956 has gained), SCP-4956 will open an escrow account which is to remain in Foundation control until it is used in the amount of 15,000 g of base gold, indicated in the SCP-4956's containment chamber. SCP-4956 is in possession of 5,334 g of base gold, and 1,417 g of the tenth property of their mummified "body" to date. The property of SCP-4956, called the 10th property of the entity, is that the placer is always on the surface of the gold, and unless SCP-4956 is extracted and stored in a vault or suspended facility, will remain on the surface of the gold. Instances of SCP-4956's 10th property will remain on the surface of gold in their entirety, and are to be stored in the D-class containment cell for research purposes, and for the purpose of calculating their valuation against gold, unless they are rediscovered.
2637
2638An autonomous unit of SCP-4956, manifesting as a shadow in the space of a three (3) meter radius around SCP-4956, will emerge from its diorama and attempt to kill or otherwise subdue any subject that attempts to engage it in conversation. Any interrogations with SCP-4956 will be rendered ineffectual. Incidents where SCP-4956 proved capable of killing subject with its 10th property are extremely rare, though a possible time span for this is unknown. The only known surviving victims of SCP-4956 are eight (8) Foundation personnel who were driven from the ██████████ Islands by the shadow, and survived the event. Foundation representatives to ██████████ are authorized to administer medications to ██████████ to mitigate the effects of the 10th property.
2639
2640The body of SCP-4956 is to be viewed as a truly immeasurable and exotic object, and all physical laws, even those normally enforced by SCP-4956, are to be viewed as null and void. The fact that a number of the 10th property are actually proven on the ground does not seem to concern SCP-4956. Subjects will not, or will have been forbidden to, try to retrieve them.
2641
2642Addendum: The Foundation has concluded that SCP-4956 is to remain an aid to the Foundation as much as possible. In order to accomplish this, it is believed that all incidents of SCP-4956 mimicking any human subject are to be understood to be instances of SCP-4956 assisting human subjects, and that there are no grounds for concern with this matter. Based on this, a small container in the ██████████ Islands is being constructed, and is to be used to store corpses, and it has been agreed that should a trace of SCP-4956 be discovered in this way, it will be used in the future.
2643
2644When the matter is reviewed in the future, it is to be determined if D-class are considered to have the right to enter SCP-4956's containment and interview the entity, or if there are any modified reasons for doing so.

2653Special Containment Procedures: Dr. H███████'s research notebooks, SCP-4956, and the materials recovered from SCP-4956 have been transferred to Site-77, on SCP-4956-α. Site-77 is to be manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in order to perform studies on the potential effects of time travel on biological matter. Two (2) armed MTF Omega-7 personnel should be stationed at Site-77 at all times to discourage intruders and maintain safe containment of SCP-4956.
2654
2655Additionally, devices to manipulate time-travel items should be maintained at Site-77. These devices were formerly equipped with the chip previously thought to be contained within SCP-4956's original casing.
2656
2657Description: SCP-4956 is a green baseball-sized sphere in the shape of a red bull, measuring 30 centimeters in diameter and weighing 12.5 kilograms. SCP-4956's anomalous properties manifest when SCP-4956 is placed inside of a box containing time-travel devices, e.g. a watch, clock, or clock radio. The device's time-stamping mechanism creates a continuous one-way loop around the length of SCP-4956, maintaining an appropriate time schedule while SCP-4956 remains stationary. SCP-4956 does not appear to alter the lengths of the loops in any significant way, or damage the boxes upon removal. It has been theorized that SCP-4956 was designed to interact with time travel devices through a quantum phenomenon similar to [REDACTED] or the Lorentz Force, which would not alter the divergence of the looped loop.[1]
2658
2659SCP-4956's anomalous effects are based on its immediate location. SCP-4956 cannot be transported outside of a two (2) meter radius of its current position. If SCP-4956 is completely displaced outside of this radius, or is isolated from all other hostile entities for more than 30 minutes, all effects described below will cease.
2660
2661When SCP-4956 is removed from a time travel device (e.g. a watch, clock, or clock radio), it immediately begins to decay. The rate of decay indicates that SCP-4956 has already existed for an equivalent length of time (e.g. two (2) months). In addition, the remaining mass of SCP-4956 significantly decreases, eventually accounting for all of its mass. SCP-4956 reverts to its original state upon complete decay, with all worn components and biological matter unaffected.
2662
2663Time travel devices that do not interact with SCP-4956 act in much the same way as regular clocks, and the effect of SCP-4956 on the quantum properties of their clocks will also cease upon removal.
2664
2665Every experiment undertaken to date has shown that SCP-4956 does not survive without a regular time travel device, causing significantly reduced memetic effects. Because of SCP-4956's proximity to humans, it is advised that time travel devices remain packed and transported in the trunk of a vehicle until daylight hours are reached.
2666
2667The exact conditions that produce the effects of SCP-4956 are currently undetermined.
2668
2669Addendum-1: Matter Change
2670
2671The emulsion properties of SCP-4956 make it difficult to dismantle without breaking it into multiple smaller fragments. SCP-4956's effect on the quantum properties of matter and energy does not cause decay when SCP-4956 is placed within normal surroundings, but over a period of time SCP-4956 will begin to consume its surroundings in a manner similar to combustion. SCP-4956's chemical properties cause unstable atoms and surface waves to spontaneously form. Within weeks of full exposure to SCP-4956, the resulting effects begin to severely damage and alter the structure of its container, while further disintegrating the material to fragments.

2685Experiment: SCP-4956 was placed within a box containing a clock, bearing no markings. A clock radio was inserted into the box to determine whether SCP-4956 would stop its decay upon removal of the clock. Results: SCP-4956's decay ceased when the clock was removed, followed by the re-formation of quantum energy from atomic bonds. Immediately after the existence of time travel devices was learned, the clock radio was quickly repositioned within SCP-4956's container. The resulting reaction caused the fabric of SCP-4956's container to immediately disintegrate into complex quantum fluctuations in its container and surrounding object.

2696
2697Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored on Level 4 of Site-64, and is to be monitored by personnel on duty at all times. The movement of Foundation researchers, and monitoring of capture, should be restricted to sites with Level-3 access or higher; those with lower rank access will be denied access to Site-64-53. Thus far SCP-4956 has not been discovered while adrift at sea.
2698
2699Description: SCP-4956 is a human being composed of several aspects of water in liquid form, with most of the liquid moisture lost during the beginning of the manifestation process. SCP-4956 displays negligible heat loss and deformation, unlike similar aquatic creatures. High exposure has caused some of the fluid to mix with other water molecules, causing SCP-4956 to become translucent.
2700
2701Physically, SCP-4956 is composed of various species of flocculants and symbionts. These are green to brown opaque material, defined by human-like hair covering the head, wearing the attire seen below. The size of the vessel is controlled by the size of the humanoid. The large red eyes can only be seen while it is in the open air. SCP-4956 has no true muscles and is only propelled by friction. It does not breathe and uses viscera of the deceased to digest its food, though human hair could provide pressure and moisture.
2702
2703Significance: SCP-4956 only knows one language, clearly defined by its general shape. It has also been shown to have knowledge of certain concepts like temperature and death. However, its understanding of the concept of "heat" is unarticulated. It attempts to start fires in its vessel, and may be dangerous. It is persistent in its desire to escape from the water, but has been rarely injured or killed as of yet, though the longer it continues to attempt to escape the water, the more it will lose its container.
2704
2705Addendum: SCP-4956 is known to pass through time and space periodically, and all Foundation personnel attempting to contact it will receive a message about doing so. This should be read in conjunction with subsequent entries below.
2706

2708
2709Addendum 1: For further information, addendum 14 to the final report of Agent Mike Michaelson, dated ██/██/████. SCP-4956 jumped out of the water and disappeared after calling Professor Sugiyama to tell him about his wish and requesting him to send an angel to identify himself. Its location was tracked by the automated system and accurately located by James Taylor. Following nearly a month of searching, an angel did not appear, and that day Michailin Foundation members subsequently attempted to "walk on air" in preparation for the next jump. They began being injured in the process, and were succeeded by a suit-clad Mr Yamamoto. After rescuing those in the water, the Foundation reported being woken up by a spirit (later identified as "Kiryn Szymanek") who had fallen asleep while attempting to assist scientists. Kiryn has not contacted the Foundation since, and does not know about the ship until Agent Michaelson contacted her during this time.<|endoftext|>Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Top Gear is filmed at various locations around the UK

2725Special Containment Procedures: The museum known as SCP-4956 has been designated a Class 1 Site and is guarded at all times by one Mobile Task Force Mobile Task Force "Schloß Olbers" and six D-Class personnel. Subjects exposed to SCP-4956 are to be monitored until they stop exhibiting the symptoms associated with the cedar tree. While remote viewing was found to partially reverse the effects of SCP-4956, remote viewing has never been found to be effective in fully reversing SCP-4956 effects.
2726
2727Description: SCP-4956 is a large tree composed of cedar, living on an island on the coast of █████ ████████. SCP-4956 is approximately 10 m in height and 10 m in diameter. It was discovered in █████ ████████ by Daniel Liedgren, an explorer working for the U.S. Geological Survey. Liedgren took several photographs of SCP-4956, which was published in the 1947 issue of Explorations in Exploration and International Freshwater Biology. These photographs were later sent to the Foundation.
2728
2729SCP-4956 displays several anomalous properties. First, it is able to self-propagate, gaining new biomass based on the level of attention taken by the subject. This effect can extend to more than one area of SCP-4956, and has been used to produce entire villages within SCP-4956. SCP-4956 is also able to maintain certain habitats within its growth, allowing it to pass between its mutated form and its unmodified form. While these habitats are typically underground or under the ocean, the habitat of an individual is no longer connected to any other individual in the subject, although it is still unable to exit the island. This migration causes various ecological disruptions, as shown through studies of fish populations, anole lizard populations, and reptiles within SCP-4956.
2730
2731Extensive recovery efforts have failed to detect SCP-4956's original habitat, or to recreate its ecological disruption. Despite this, initial attempts by Earth explorers to contain SCP-4956 using devices capable of producing biomass have been impeded by SCP-4956's extreme lateral growth. One area was successfully terminated, with no significant ecological disruptions noted after use. The current and previous containment crews have only completed one attempt at terminating SCP-4956, with no apparent side effects.
2732
2733SCP-4956's anomaly has resulted in the movement of SCP-4956 and other SCP objects. This movement often occurs at night, as is typical for most karst worlds. Specific periods of time have been determined as being unsafe to enter, or are believed to involve the rearrangement of objects. No research has been conducted on the effects of this movement on living species, as no known non-anomalous lifeforms have been discovered inside SCP-4956.

2735Addendum #3: Notable Known Manifestations of SCP-4956:
2736
27372002 - SCP-4956 produces a large variety of timber, including virgin timber. These materials are commonly used for construction and constructions, and are also commonly used in the creation of liquid crystals.
2738
27392007 - SCP-4956 produces a variety of water-soluble materials. These substances function to absorb moisture from the air.
2740
27412003 - SCP-4956 produces an endospore of oak, which is capable of dispersing small amounts of soil into the environment.
2742
27432003 - SCP-4956 produces material capable of containing and dispersing soil, due to the extensive internal growth and growth of endospores of oak.
2744
27452004 - SCP-4956 produces wood from native trees. Forest platforms have been constructed by SCP-4956 to access SCP-4956.
2746
27472008 - SCP-4956 produces a fungus capable of producing drug production as well as fuel.
2748
27492009 - SCP-4956 produces a material capable of producing the T. viridis bacterium, which are usually used in fungi to produce melanin.
2750
27512011 - SCP-4956 produces nearly identical material to SCP-4956, but with a high rate of growth (approximately 33%).
2752
27532012 - SCP-4956 produces a group of plants capable of producing biological compounds, due to [DATA EXPUNGED].

2767Special Containment Procedures: All employees of Foundation communications facilities within Zone-03 have been given virtual reality training and are required to maintain alternate forms of communication with the Foundation in order to address SCP-4956. Zone-03 information coordinators are required to maintain oversight of this. Due to the nature of the event, all personnel will need to be provided with a means of calming the aftermath of combat. A small window of time is given during each occurrence for personnel to open SCP-4956's associated portal, having the hope of rendering such events inoperable.
2768
2769All personnel who wish to communicate with SCP-4956 are asked to enter the system and follow the instructions given to them prior to becoming colloquially known as "Little Schlangs." Once in the instance of SCP-4956, all communication must be recorded and any questions regarding the nature of SCP-4956 or the world outside that instance are forwarded to Zone-03 information coordinators.
2770
2771Description: SCP-4956 is a process that occurs when the world is drained of its celestial and terrestrial energies for approximately one minute. A shadow, hereafter referred to as the manifestation of the entity's previous physical body, evolves within the disturbed patterns that have been disrupted during this process, the rate at which this process occurs being approximately 80% of the time.
2772
2773SCP-4956's manifestation manifests as a distinct individual who is connected to the former physical body. The individual must have a human face, at least 7.5 cm tall and 65cm in circumference, and do not need to be linked to the instance of SCP-4956 via any physical object. Testing has shown that SCP-4956's functionality relies upon the vibration of their body and vocal qualities, though they do utilize other means of, e.g., vibrating objects, to function as well.
2774
2775The manifestation's primary function is to support SCP-4956's survival, particularly the use of bodily vibration to prevent human adaptations to the loss of atmosphere and kin that resulted from SCP-4956's draining. The results of SCP-4956's process have shown that the age of the individual becomes one year longer as the result of each 100 seconds that its external environment remains an un-sterilized state, and the average bone density of humans of the same race ages by 10%. This can result in extended lifespans.
2776
2777When interacting with the individual that constitutes SCP-4956, they will generally become agitated and vocally fearful, displaying little ability to communicate with either themselves or their pursuers. In some cases, individuals from within the manifestation will attempt to break contact, resulting in termination of the individual through standard techniques.
2778
2779Addendum 4956-1: Testing of SCP-4956/SINGLE-HUMAN-GUY-034 was commissioned during Breach 300 and initially approved. During testing, an instance of SCP-4956 was used, and at no point during the process were other instances of SCP-4956 connected to it. Exploration included asking individuals questions regarding how others were as a result of their ability to reach within and then out again. Following capture, SCP-4956 -SINGLE-HUMAN-GUY-034's manifestation was secured and it was determined that its containment procedure had been effective.
2780
2781Addendum 4956-2: On 4/8/██, a variation of SCP-4956 was discovered. SCP-4956 + SINGLE-HUMAN-GUY-034 was found in the repository of an Argentinian film production company. The film in question, that of the same name, is now known as [DATA EXPUNGED].
2782
2783Researchers have theorized that [DATA EXPUNGED] came to existence during the draining of an alternate, non-human environment. As no others instances of SCP-4956 have been found, efforts have been made to discover a path to potential others.
2784
2785Addendum 4956-3: Testing of SCP-4956 + Multilingual Experimentation. On 6/10/██, SCP-4956 + Multilingual Experimentation was approved for use. SCP-4956 is permitted to communicate in five languages: English, Spanish, German, French, and Arabic. All communication via foreign language will take place within a standalone instance of SCP-4956. At least 25 minutes of standard modern standard entertainment audio may be provided to facilitate conversation, but at no point must the individual be within SCP-4956.
2786
2787During testing, all personnel are required to have alternate forms of communication with the Foundation, and are advised to maintain alternate forms of communication for each individual manifestation. Any communications between instances of SCP-4956 with external instances of SCP-4956 must not be recorded.

2801Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956's effects are currently only being reported locally by SCP-4956-1 instances. Foundation personnel are to be on site 24/7. All personnel in contact with instances of SCP-4956-1 must sign an oath stating that they are not aware of SCP-4956's effects in order to mitigate the spread of knowledge of SCP-4956.
2802
2803Description: SCP-4956 is a liquid mixture of two biologically distinct substances, each possessing properties different from the other. SCP-4956-1 is a 20ml glass jar which constantly emits an unpleasant odor. SCP-4956-2 is a 70ml glucose solution. SCP-4956 is effective against neither of its target substances, but can be extremely potent in combination with the other substance. It has no effect on non-biological targets.
2804
2805The effect of SCP-4956 is instantaneous and can be felt immediately after its applied. The effect is not harmful until the subject has consciously been aware of SCP-4956's effects. Although the effect is lasting after its application is complete, and does not interrupt once the subject has temporarily recovered from SCP-4956's effects, the effect will quickly decay if the subject doesn't become aware of SCP-4956's effects frequently.
2806
2807The color of SCP-4956-1 follows a spectrum, starting at white and increasing by the precise hue. The colors produced by SCP-4956-1 are in a near-perfect correlation with human colors, while SCP-4956-2 has no correlation to any known biological ability. Given that human perceiving abilities largely exist only through visual stimuli, at present, the correlation is said to be extremely accurate, even maintaining the color grey and corresponding numbers from arbitrary color categories during SCP-4956's effect. In addition, several of the colors of SCP-4956-1 (yellow, blue, and purple) completely correspond to human sublunar explorations.

They seem to be worse than the tyrannical monsters from Dark Souls, they…then drive around inside of you until you just give up and die. You won’t have a chance to reclaim your soul unless you utilize your sword, shield, and ability to tank damage into the grave. Don’t die though, and you will be free to play on your way to finding a killer. Buy sword shards so you can upgrade your stats, pick up armor shards so you can start looking good, and learn more about a fast apocalypse - and your soul’s riddle.

2816
2817Stealth, as anyone who has experienced Dark Souls will attest to, is a key factor to success. You’ll use the dodge and parry buttons to stay safe, as well as the inventory to change weapons to pick up new ones. Honestly, you’ll probably have the biggest problem dealing with the Chimera if you’re not using a sword or shield.
2818
2819
2820
2821Orcs are surprisingly hard enemies. Their strength, health, and armor are heightened by their armor, making them annoying as hell to fight. You’ll feel your shield dip and bounce from one sword-wielding orc to the next, and even though you feel like you’re being set back by the impact of the attacks, you just don’t get a chance to pick up your sword and block the next wave. Even a quick getaway is just a few well placed swordshield flicks. All this for a small health pool and a low damage output. Heavy weapons can level up your stats so they can reach full potential, but why not pick up more armor, and upgrade your sword even more? Defense is a funny thing in Dark Souls, as you level up on the staircase up to item 1, but it’s a horrible sequence for item 4. Same goes for Sword Shards for upgrades.
2822
2823
2824
2825Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the story and lore. This is a huge, huge, huge thing for this game. The Chimera are extremely disturbing. They’re big-headed, powerful and monstrous creatures. The player will get to know their bizarre animal form, but in this form, they have no weapons, no armor, and limited ammo. Every enemy fight, and even after completing that fight, is a harrowing and brutal affair. How many times has a player died, only to be told by a doctor of the cause of death? I could never think of any times that comes close to it. The story is engrossing and eerie in a way that makes the gore, the fast paced combat,

2831Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in a Containment Vault at the Geosciences Research Institute ██████. Special monthly patrols are to be initiated at this site to search for instances of SCP-4956-1. Prior to withdrawal, one instance of SCP-4956-1 from a known host body is to be carried into SCP-4956 for "rehabilitation". In case of containment breach, the affected host body will be evacuated and SCP-4956 is to be incinerated. For the purposes of this paper, the discovery of SCP-4956 and containment of SCP-4956 are considered separate events. In addition, SCP-4956 will be kept in a laboratory-like space under observation of 2 Level 4 personnel.
2832
2833In the event of containment breach, all employees of Site ██████ and any guests will be presumed dead. Personnel with connections to the Site, should be evacuated immediately; if any are found, they are to be immediately administered Class B amnestics.
2834
2835Description: SCP-4956 appears to be a routine human heart-shaped organ, in approximately ████ body size, which appears to be anomalous. In any SCP-4956-1 instance, the face of the host body appears to have a fixed point of articulation at the base of the heart, allowing the casing of the organ to potentially be manipulated.
2836
2837However, when the heart of a SCP-4956-1 instance is extracted from its host, the organ does not operate as expected, and appears in a relative shape of an animal or miniature starship. Below its surface, it appears to possess a sail of unknown material, connecting to the heart. Following SCP-4956-1's re-translocation of its host's heart to a new, nearby host body, this area also appears to be located on a wing of a starship.
2838
2839Several days following SCP-4956's re-translocation, when all SCP-4956-1 instances are removed from their host bodies, the blood of any host body it is attached to will begin to go brown, with a very slight discharge of salt. This can be adjusted to a blue tint by adjusting the equipment used to remove the SCP-4956-1 instance.
2840
2841The "trail" of a host body contains an electronic record, which appears to be written in some manner in futuristic language. However, this language is in constant change, and after mapping and viewing a few of these, the electronic recording appears to have a large number of repeated components. Under the video feed, the electronic recording appears to be completed, before showing nothing but a single beam of light. At this point, any person viewing the video screen appears to perceive the staff of Site ██████ as three people, namely Paul, Douglas, and Ronald, as they are all seen in different positions and react to the image in a disorganized fashion. The electronic recording disappears after 5 minutes of watching.
2842
2843Addendum 1: Due to the number of cases of SCP-4956-1 being removed from their host bodies, it has been deemed unsafe to test how long SCP-4956's hull will remain functional. Due to this, the amount of blood removed from each host body must be limited, and verified before each separation.
2844
2845Test Results: During testing, human subjects in various states of shock and shock resistance (35% and 70%) were injected with SCP-4956-1 instances, and allowed to speak. Dr. █████ and Dr. ██████, two Level 3 officers, were also injected with SCP-4956-1 instances, and allowed to speak. One minute later, they were found handcuffed in a standard operating position, being held down by security guards. Once secured, the subject and security guards were examined for signs of infection, all came up negative. The guards' uniforms were replaced with a new ███████ brand uniform. Prior to SCP-4956's re-location, all three had an artery discovered damaged. The blood showed evidence of radiation. Further testing could not confirm any additional abnormalities of the subject before termination.
2846
2847Testing begins to find a particular rise in EKG activity in the affected subjects. After 18 minutes of testing, the H-1 and aorta blood pressures showed a noticeable increase, both appearing to be leaking from the body. The EKG activity showed a sharp rise in vital signs of the subjects, to the point where some subjects struggled to breathe in the video feed. All of the subjects were terminated and collected in a penultimate sample. The final sample tested showed all three body fluids contained 3.73% EKG activity.

Mobile Task Force Lambda-43 ("Jesus Christ and Carl Friedrich Nietzsche") is to be deployed to guard SCP-4956-A. SCP-4956-A is to be monitored for anomalous behavior at all times, and is not to be removed from its containment cell without express authorization from the current head of Site 58.
2856
2857Interviews with suspects involved in SCP-4956 instances are to be carried out immediately after arrests. Interview transcripts for suspected or documented instances of SCP-4956-B are to be reviewed on a regular basis, and appropriate measures taken if a critical failure is confirmed. Research into the nature of SCP-4956 should be limited to Foundation representatives.

2949Object Class: Euclid
2950
2951Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is contained at [REDACTED], 30 miles north of [REDACTED], California. The object is to be contained in a cell equipped with:
2952
2953A sophisticated passive MRI machine
2954
2955A remote control device for switching the machine on and off
2956
2957Strict short-term observation procedures in the event of a breach
2958
2959Any personnel that leave the site are to be immediately returned to the site without testing, pending review by at least two (2) Level 3 personnel.
2960
2961Description: SCP-4956 appears to be a human neural network in preserved state. It contains 70% human neural tissue, with the remainder composed of tissue from other species, including an unknown fish, an unidentified reptile, a rodent, and amniotic fluid from a fetus.
2962
2963Physiological examination of the object shows no signs of immediate distortion due to the vat's proximity to air, and no evidence of previous damage. Though the object is only in humanoid form, it shows no limited locomotion and takes up little space in the enclosed room where it is housed.
2964
2965Controlled MRI scans show that the neural network consists of two main groups of 12 areas. The topographic map for the object shows the areas to which the brain receptors of a typical human are connected. The area that was found to contain 75% of the network's volumetric compliance features indicates that its matrix structure is highly irregular.
2966
2967SCP-4956's peripheral nervous system is not connected to any part of the network, and has been theorized to function in anomalous ways.
2968
2969SCP-4956, in both its human and anomalous forms, has shown to be able to communicate with and even control other objects at times. Whenever multiple parts of SCP-4956 are directed toward each other, it is capable of sending immediate tactile signals to certain areas of the network. The sensation found on the spaces connected to these parts of the network often resembles an ecchymosis. The side of the object being contacted is colored in white.
2970
2971This sensory information was proved to be accurate with a specialized detector. Data collected through the object indicates the locations of various neuroreceptors present in the other part. It is unclear why an anomalous entity is capable of receiving this information.
2972
2973SCP-4956 is considered to be SCP-4956-1 and SCP-4956-2. Each of these forms can assume other identities at any time. Though the entities in these forms are identical, they will react differently depending on how they are being identified.
2974
2975Addendum 1: Document SCP-4956-1<|endoftext|>This is my sketch of it. Idea I had from the start was to make use of the mounted Zapper. The instructions showed to locate a model gun and attach the Zapper gun to it, which I thought would be fun, well an afterthought really. Hopefully some people will find this or similar in the future.
2976
2977
2978
2979The Modelgun is a IMI Urpon. https://secure.ikelabs.com/r/ga_api/serials/UA-IDN211002085178147066/SMC_Modelgun_E2-31.11_0732914.8

2982
2983The photos do not show how the plastic turned out. It was really thick plastic sheet with all kinds of detail. The "lateral stripe" side was really dense. I thought I would need to reinforce it and think I did with an articulating part, but I forgot to to- It was useful I think as you can adjust the slope in the base. What I did not do is why the furthest end was straight, but later removed that to make sure it all stuck together.
2984
2985
2986
2987I didn't map where the trigger was in the gun. Had to guess. It was in the upper right rear part, "F".
2988

2990
2991So that's all I've got. Be sure to leave a comment below with your feedback and ideas- There are so many things that I would love to try.<|endoftext|>A SECOND section of a double-decker bus travelled alongside a main road and caused severe road congestion north of Brisbane for almost two hours, with one lane of the road shut after it came to a stop.
2992
2993The incident closed the first lane on the 4007 Southerly Link for almost two hours at Albion, some 70km north of Brisbane, before a State Highway Patrol spokesperson said the bus driver was still in the area at 3pm.
2994
2995Brisbane Detective Inspector Nick Fox said investigations into the incident began about 12.15pm.
2996
2997"There were three people in the bus involved and all were treated at the scene for minor injuries and driver fatigue," he said.
2998
2999The bus left Albion about 12.15pm and resumed its journey to Kalgoorlie.

3001The road was later reopened for the day

3004
3005Object Class: Euclid
3006
3007Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is kept in a small containment cell located inside Site 11, covered by a light colored tent-like construct commonly referred to as SCP-912. Access to the cell is limited to in-mission Dr. B███████; subject has not left this cell since containment. Any personnel entering SCP-4956's cell is to be given an on-going attendance record documenting anomalous readings occurring within the security perimeter in order to record the status of the object. If a member of O5 Council or a member of the Foundation who normally would not have access to a subject such as an O5 Councilor is present in the area, the O5 Councilor is to be informed regarding the anomaly as well as the nature of the object.
3008
3009Description: SCP-4956 is an entire building erected primarily of steel but only consisting of a single end wall. The building displays multiple burn marks, indicating that it has once burned down prior to containment. Located within the building is a research staff composed of approximately thirty-five (35) people. All personnel within the research staff are unable to leave the research staff building for the entirety of their stays, unless they have permission from an individual with authority to enter the building. Any personnel who leave the building will be treated like an anomalous subject, which results in increased aggression and hostility.
3010
3011In return for the security afforded to those in the research staff, subject will repeatedly call out randomly through the walls of SCP-4956, aiming to awaken those within. There is no method for assessing the alertness of those within the building, making determination of the trigger for their calls impossible. Subject appears to be unable to refrain from using their calls during any circumstances, meaning the end result of these calls will not differ from previous calls even if there are no sentient beings within the building. There are currently two main trigger conditions for the calls: the subject has a familiarity with the location in question, and an unknown accompanying force is not within the building. Research has been conducted in order to determine the trigger mechanism.
3012
3013Special Containment Procedures: These procedures are listed below.
3014
3015[Subject has been given the name SCP-4956-J to prevent confusion with any other subject's name. ] Researchers in cell under construction are to ignore the call when it comes. If the subject calls on location, they are to enter the building and inspect the records to determine if the subject recognized the facility. Subject is to be tagged as SCP-4956-J. Testing of any type will include locking up SCP-4956-J and placing a chest inside the building to prevent them from leaving. Subjects are to be force-fed a fine meal of white bread and beef marrow. Food capable of causing an outburst that would wake up a sleeping Foundation personnel is to be located and provided.
3016
3017Special Containment Procedures: Site 11 will continue to remain under complete lockdown until all personnel have been accounted for.
3018
3019Description: SCP-4956-1 was located in [REDACTED] by Private Mike the Black in order to recover possibly several unknown munitions in the home of [REDACTED]. The argument between the two and subsequent raid of the property was described as “extremely [REDACTED].” After the raid, nothing was found in the house but a large number of burned documents and videotapes. [DATA EXPUNGED] POI, and Chris, were officially designated as SCP-4956-1. They immediately returned to immediate containment, however no further research is to be done on them. The Foundation will no longer consider them to be SCP-4956-1. The Foundation has been alerted to SCP-4956-1 status and as of 9/1/2013, they are known to be innocuous.
3020
3021Addendum: All entries made by SCP-4956-1 have been stored in the Foundation's records for all time. All entry names are the following:

3045SCP-4956-2 appeared in 3/16/1970 shortly after a discharge from another research personnel named Mike. Subject was a combat medic with the Marines, and was contracted by the Foundation to find to issue more Airsoft weaponry to Foundation O5 personnel. Unlike SCP-4956-1, no note from the hiring team was found on Subject. At this time, the Foundation is considering this subject to be harmless.

3052
3053Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be stored in a standard humanoid containment locker within Site-12 at all times.
3054
3055Description: SCP-4956 is a Caucasian male body, wearing a cream colored jacket with white trousers. The jacket is made of transparent, 1.5 cm thick velcro. The wearer appears to be entirely naked. On the right arm of the jacket, the wearer has an aforementioned and entirely transparent yellow band. When the band is present, the wearer is unable to lift their arm, and instead demonstrates great difficulty in doing so. No clothing or hair is allowed to enter the band. When the band is removed, the wearer can no longer bend their arm or manipulate their hand or arm length. The band has a soft, matronly tone and lies just below the end of the sleeve.
3056
3057When the wrist of the jacket is raised, the palm of the arm will bend upwards, however this will disconnect from the band when raised. Even if the sleeve is disconnected, the hand will continue to bend upward.
3058
3059The durability of the band seems unaffected when its wearer is physically injured, provided that the band is detached before the injury occurs. The band shows signs of toughness. In every case, when the wrist of the jacket is made safe to bend, the wrist remains fine and intact. Injuries to the front or back of the hand will not disassemble the band. If fingers are inserted or removed from the band, they do not cause it to detach.
3060
3061The limbs of the wearer are subject to anomalous neurological effects when detached from the band. When detached, the limbs immediately begin to regenerate. The limb's center will demineralize, the nerves within the organ begin to regenerate. After a period of time, the entire organ will regenerate.
3062
3063When separation occurs, the back of the skin will demineralize without bleeding. The lower limbs of the wearer lose all bone in the center of the limb, however, only bones above the knee and back of the knee. This does not happen at all if limbs are separated simultaneously. In fact, if a limb is separated last, the center of the arm will demineralize first, with the rest of the arm remaining unaffected.
3064
3065The skin of the body around the limbs of the wearer will become thick. Due to this thick skin and the fact that it is mostly bone, there is no way to remove or disassemble the band. The skin around the arm appears to have never been chemically damaged.
3066
3067When the forearm of the jacket is separated, the forearm will transform into a similar device, however, the wrist is also retained. Similar to the band, if the arm is separated from the band at the shoulder, the elbow will demineralize first. Despite these changes, the arm and the shoulder appear to remain perfectly united. The arm has gained a point of structural symmetry. If the band is severed, the arm and shoulder will change in way that is not affected. If the band is left alone for a period of time, it will regenerate itself.
3068
3069If the lower limbs of the wearer are removed from the area of the shoulder, the bone in the upper extremities will demineralize as if the entire skeletal system had been demineralized. In some cases, if the lower limbs have been separated from the shoulder for a longer period of time, the bones in the upper extremities will demineralize in the same manner.<|endoftext|>It must be disappointing for BuzzFeed that it caved in to pressure from the Grand Mosque and Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). In an article about Iran’s upcoming presidential election, Buzzfeed’s debut of what they deemed a “news article,” the controversial website admitted that its writers were writing for the government.
3070
3071According to the article, the reason for pulling the article was because an Iranian state news agency reported that a “news account” was an “Iranian government website.” Unsurprisingly, the timing of the story coincided with a high-profile visit by Iran’s popular cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to France.

3090
3091Special Containment Procedures: Agent ███████ assumes custody of SCP-4956-1 whenever it is discovered, and SCP-4956-1 is to be kept in Site-32 in an underground garage for the purpose of experimental surgery. In all other cases, SCP-4956 is to be contained in a separate locked standard D-Class cell in Site-31. At all times, its containment module is to be illuminated by a section of overhead fluorescent lighting at night.
3092
3093In all normal cases, SCP-4956 is to be not only accessible but also to be visible through five (5) standard class pinhole cameras per contact. These cameras must be kept at a distance of no less than 30 cm, and the lens must have a magnification factor of 2 or greater.
3094
3095In all non-normal cases, at the discretion of Agent ███████, SCP-4956 is to be inaccessible to personnel. Items placed into proximity to SCP-4956 are to be considered hostile, and subjects are to be immediately destroyed if opened. Personnel should keep these objects in safes until they have left proximity.
3096
3097Description: SCP-4956 is an unidentified, handheld dental instrument that is anomalous in that it appears to be a machine specifically developed to perform surgeries, and in the cases it is used, an instance of SCP-4956-1. SCP-4956 is typically in the form of a stainless steel acrylic cylinder, measuring approximately 7 cm in length by 12 cm in diameter, weighing approximately 4 grams.
3098
3099SCP-4956-1 is a miniature mechanism comparable in dimension to a human fingernail, consisting of a metal tube with a stylus and a compass on one end. When removed from SCP-4956-1 and mounted on SCP-4956, the stylus and tube contact with each other and begin to warp and deform. The curvature of the tube and the radius of the final curvature vary on its passage from SCP-4956-1, but when the stylus is inserted into the opened wound, the geometry of the wound moves to match that of SCP-4956-1. Testing has found no direct effect on the diameter or strength of the wound on the subject, and is theorized to be the result of the "tunneling" process of SCP-4956-1.
3100
3101When powered, SCP-4956 requires approximately one minute to perform a surgery of varying complexity. Once undergoing surgery, it will cease operation, and will collapse with a metallic squeal as it falls to the ground.
3102
3103It is not currently known what is the function of SCP-4956, but what was observed when it was used during testing has given rise to hypotheses as to its function. The surgeries are conducted with nothing but a scalpel and only when required. During one of the surgeries completed by one of the experienced test subjects, it was found that the volume of the wound increased tenfold and that one millimeter at the edge of the incision expanded to a surface area of one meter by one meter. The area around the incision was jagged, and was removed while the subject was in surgery.
3104
3105SCP-4956 is highly resistant to normal forms of injury, and upon removal of any component is expected to leave the site of the injury untouched. In the event of injury, the surgery is relatively complete in comparison to surgery with other types of scaffolding material, and is capable of lasting between ten minutes and an hour. It appears that the only component necessary for the operation is SCP-4956, the two epoxy fragments, and the surgery itself. Even the fracture itself is apparently capable of repairing itself without any material additive.
3106
3107Addendum: First contact with SCP-4956-1 was performed at Site-33, at a site that was not currently being monitored. Junior Researcher ██████ was alone working on an equipment cabinet while Agent ███████ and the site's Head Researcher were on patrol in the area. A break in the door of the room during the mission was witnessed, allowing Agents ███████ and █████ to enter the chamber. Here, the two agents were joined by Agent ███████ and SCP-4956-1. The rough nature of the surgery, even the treatment of the subject, was not evident. Nonetheless, the surgery was successful, and Junior Researcher ██████ died as a result. The report of the incident was filed as "Baby defecated", and the autopsy stated that ███████ had died due to hemorrhage and severe internal bleeding.
3108
3109Addendum: The Foundation discovered the location of SCP-4956-1 on 4/22/20██ after monitoring a report of anomalous activity at a nearby site. Agent ███████ went to check on the site, only to find two of the Site's other K-9 squad members killed while under the direction of the Ghost Gang. The investigation

3114
3115Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956's current location is restricted to a single room. Upon discovery, the room is to be contained in a small, remote containment chamber. SCP-4956 is to be kept in this chamber during testing and not permitted to leave the room except in an emergency. Any attempts to break SCP-4956's containment or interact with SCP-4956 are to be punished severely. Disproportionate punishment of personnel conducting containment may encourage SCP-4956 to breach containment. Due to the nature of containment, Class-D personnel are prohibited from ever interacting with SCP-4956. The room is to be regularly monitored for any signs of violations and personnel are encouraged to pay close attention.
3116
3117The testing area is currently located in Site ██, New York, USA. Access to the testing area is normally restricted to Foundation personnel under normal working conditions.
3118
3119Description: SCP-4956 is a nude woman approximately 35 years of age with black hair and long blonde-blonde eyes. SCP-4956 lacks mouth, nose, and ears and wears a unique face covering, known as SCP-4956-1. SCP-4956-1 currently does not appear to have any familiarity with this face covering.
3120
3121SCP-4956 was recovered from a rural creek bed near ███████, IA, following reports of a group of dogs chasing an unseen female. Foundation agents reported that the dog chase was stopped when a young woman emerged from a group of bushes near the creek bed. The woman, whom researchers have named SCP-4956-1, complied with their requests to run. After this discovery, researchers were assigned to view SCP-4956 and her cell and in 1983, she was relocated to Site ██.
3122
3123Following her initial testing, the exact details of SCP-4956's physical appearance remain unknown, but personnel have confirmed SCP-4956-1's age, height, skin tone, face shape, and hair color. Her skin tone is various shades of amber and SCP-4956-1 does not appear to have any scars. SCP-4956-1 apparently lacks any coherent speech but cannot remain still for more than five minutes. She has displayed an ability to heal her wounds and has shown self-defense in the face of attacks on her.
3124
3125SCP-4956's primary anomalous ability is her ability to see through a human's skin, seeing through any invisible or intangible object. However, SCP-4956-1 herself has not experienced any pain or trauma when this ability is used. She has stated that the entire sensation of it is "light and cold". She has stated that she has experienced pain while using the ability and that is not what she wanted. This phenomena only occurs when SCP-4956-1 is properly clothed. This experience occurs once every two hours and is subject to change in both duration and strength.
3126
3127Because SCP-4956 can see through any object, she is able to see through most forms of clothing, despite having no teeth or fur. SCP-4956's inability to feel or see pain has been noted and she has also shown an ability to project her thoughts through clothing. In areas where she can see through normal clothing, SCP-4956 appears to be in a similar state to an average human being. She has also shown some skill in absorbing clothing into her own body, although no additional effect has been observed. It has also been noted that SCP-4956-1's clothing and face covering do not seem to change the way she moves, even though the frame of reference is normal.
3128
3129SCP-4956's primary anomalous ability is her ability to make images of whatever she wishes and they are said to be vivid and confusing. However, this ability has only been used under limited circumstances, and without her face covering. Because of this, they only work within SCP-4956's eyes. Analysis of the images shows strong similarities with her facial structure, color, and facial features, despite the perceived distance.
3130
3131SCP-4956's secondary anomalous ability is that she is able to talk to other humans. This ability has been used to encourage and chastise individuals under her guidance. Foundation personnel have reported it as very difficult to be heard or understood by SCP-4956. Examples of speech include "I want you to be a good person and not hate the world." and "Leave our secrets alone. Bad things happen. You should never talk about things that you are not supposed to. Instead of talking about them, just leave them alone."
3132
3133Following her initial testing, SCP-4956 has acquired a quiet acceptance within the Foundation. Since being at Site ██, SCP-4956 has helped with training and will occasionally assist in tasks such as janitorial work or monitoring security footage. She has lived with a full class D security detail and will only interact with other humans when asked.<|endoftext|>AIMIM

3139Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be contained in Site-██’s locker room. All personnel assigned to SCP-4956 are to be provided with casebooks and brief reports detailing various events in SCP-4956’s containment history.
3140
3141A maximum of fourteen interviews are authorized per month, with a manual requirement of one interview per day.
3142
3143An instance of P-4956-3 is to be housed in a secure climate-controlled decontamination room. Two suitably qualified observers are to monitor the containment area daily for SCP-4956. Security arrangements for this area are as follows:
3144
3145The door to the locker room can be locked with a first-aid kit containing adrenaline, antacids, analgesics, and antifungal medication. Personnel are allowed to bring a personal connection such as a cell phone, iPod, or briefcase with them. The room must be equipped with a waterproof screen.
3146
3147One additional researcher is required to monitor SCP-4956’s interaction with other organisms. Close observation of SCP-4956 is to be carried out for any interaction with any inanimate objects. If the room is used more than once, a team of two assistants is required to monitor the actions of SCP-4956 for the duration of the procedure.
3148
3149Description: SCP-4956 is an extremely large organism, measuring between 10 m and 12 m in height. SCP-4956’s exact origin and details are unknown at this time. Current estimates place SCP-4956 as being in the Middle Jurassic.
3150
3151SCP-4956 is approximately 100% viscous and almost transparent; it is impossible to see what SCP-4956 is made of even at 1 km away.
3152
3153Every day, SCP-4956 is capable of landing on solid ground. Upon a landing, SCP-4956 keeps itself suspended until it has been observed by a human or a member of the Researcher staff. When observed, SCP-4956 will emit a jet of acid and will then begin to ingest rock and soil. SCP-4956 will then attach itself to the hard surface of the object and maintain its position.
3154
3155SCP-4956 will return to the area to be observed on its next landing, in nearly complete darkness. When this has occurred, it will begin to feed and digest the object on its next landing. After consuming the object, SCP-4956 will stop feeding, leaving a double-headed crystal of some kind on the surface of the object.
3156
3157Examination of the double-headed crystal shows it contains variations of salts and other substances, causing the crystals to become highly reflective. Objects placed on the crystals appear to remain motionless.
3158
3159Addendum: SCP-4956 has occasionally impacted the Earth’s surface in ways more dangerous than conventional impacts and self-destruct. SCP-4956 is to be treated with current and planned containment methods with respect to these situations. If evidence of a normal impact is found, SCP-4956’s containment procedures will be modified and accelerated.
3160
3161Addendum: SCP-4956 rarely attacks large mammals like humans or dinosaurs, and more often attempts to escape. When confronted by a hominid or other human, SCP-4956 will attack non-human creatures. The closest recorded instance of SCP-4956 striking hominids occurred in ██████, ██. The projectile was only damaged by fire. It is not known how this is possible.

3163Addendum: As of ██/██/████, SCP-4956 has mostly adapted to its former environment. SCP-4956 has successfully established a colony of between █ and ██ instances of SCP-4956-A at a site in Lava Basin, ██████. All instances of SCP-4956-A have not yet begun feeding. Further research has begun in an attempt to understand how instances of SCP-4956-A are able to have such a large population.
3164
3165Addendum: At ██/██/████, SCP-4956 successfully destroyed a 13.1 km-long trilobite in an ██-second blitzkrieg attack, resulting in ██ trilobites being incinerated. When this occurred, all other instances of SCP-4956-A ceased feeding.
3166
3167Addendum: At ██/██/████, SCP-4956 used the single head of SCP-4956-A to inject itself into a diamond which was located nearby. The diamond, created by SCP-4956-A’s head, changed into a humanoid body, allowing SCP-4956 to escape. The site housing SCP-4956-A was apparently unaffected, and the population of SCP-4956-A remained at about ██ instances, the current maximum at this time.<|endoftext|>The City Council today unanimously approved an ordinance that prohibits

3171Object Class: Euclid
3172
3173Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in a separate room of Site-58 at all times. No unauthorized personnel may enter this room without approval.
3174
3175Description: SCP-4956 is a black vinyl record with a copyright date of ██/██/████. The record bears the following inscription: “The Muzak of the Overrated 1960s”. The recording contains a ██/██/████ version of the Stevie Wonder single “Superstition”. The band used studio surround sound equipment during the recording of this recording.
3176
3177If one plays “Superstition” on SCP-4956 they will have the potential to express either friendly or negative opinions of the chosen song. Of note is that only songs from the 1960s that fall under the “Used to be Hype” category will be affected by SCP-4956. SCP-4956 is capable of affecting samples of “Used to be Hype” which have not been released, but testing has shown that although sounds from these samples will resonate in the room where they are stored, they will no longer resonate in the same room after being shifted.
3178
3179Depending on the depth of the song played, SCP-4956 may result in the appearance of an iMac or iRacing computer running Mac OS 10.7.3. However, no anomalous audio data is sent into any of these areas. When the song is ended, SCP-4956 will continue to send audio across the room to both of these items. A digital video of the song continues to show the song in its entirety during playback.
3180
3181Addendum: Dr. █████ attempted to terminate SCP-4956 multiple times by using the stylus to push buttons on the playback device, but made no apparent effect. On at least one occasion, SCP-4956 was able to manipulate the lights and makeup on the Winton Show recording studio used to record "Superstition". In addition, Dr. █████ was able to remove the device from its drive, causing the car in the unnamed actor's Bugatti Veyron to speed away at high speed, with no effort from the actor.
3182
3183In all cases, Dr. █████ was unable to return SCP-4956 to the station. (see Incident Report 4956-03)
3184
3185Incident Report 4956-03
3186
3187At 10:38 am on ██/██/████, SCP-4956 was picked up from its hiding place near the reception desk of the Winton Recording Studio by several personnel who proceeded to play the song at maximum volume. The recording studio became inundated with audio from all types of media, particularly the television.
3188
3189Following the appearance of a loud thump from the artist's room, all lights within the room slowly turned on. A series of objects appeared to fly through the air, appearing to hover within the room where the artist's room appeared. Cameras in the room started recording what appeared to be video of the objects flying through the air. Out of the video, when the camera was rotated 180 degrees, it first showed a black leather-wrapped note covered in hand-written handwriting: "Enjoy"
3190
3191The note then revealed a digitally encoded DOLPHIN that repeated "Enjoy" eight times before it was broken. A holographic image of the artist appeared to look similar to that of Dave Stewart in the "Behind the Music" episode of the CBC television program "To the Top". The image begins to follow the artist's face after the movement of the avatar.
3192
3193"The Muzak of the Overrated 1960s"
3194
3195After about twenty seconds, the image of the artist is replaced with a full length song, “Superstition”, with the vocals taken from another album. After this the ear-plugs placed on the earphones in the facility were ripped out. The room erupted into a riotous state, including all of the jazz performers in the building. As soon as this occurred, a SONIC BOOM was heard from all parts of the building.
3196
3197SCP-4956, which was in the room at the time of this incident, started to emit an audible beep whenever the beep was received. These beeps can be heard for as long as thirty seconds before eventually fading out. SCP-4956 was also shown to emit a similar beep whenever the picture of the album was rotated.
3198
3199This seemed to cause the volume of the audio to rise, allowing the singer of the song to exit his/her room undetected.
3200
3201As the angry mob grew, it was broken up into smaller groups which entered the studio. The riot was controlled soon after.
3202
3203After only two hours of radioactivity, SCP-4956 was neutralized and its removal was determined by 12 Foundation employees.<|endoftext|>Five years after Kevin O'

3209Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is to be kept in an elevator at Site 19. Severe injuries resulting from exposure to SCP-4956 are to be recorded and the subject returned to SCP-4956 within twelve hours.
3210
3211Description: SCP-4956 is a stainless steel cylinder approximately 10 cm in diameter. A fairly obvious vinyl tape insert resides on the cylinder's circumference.
3212
3213Explaining SCP-4956's anomalous properties requires skills in psychology, sociology, and linguistics.
3214
3215Effects on a test subject's psyche immediately begins at the moment of exposure. Subjects assume their feelings are being plotted to support an active or inevitable cause. Confusion and depression tend to be the earliest symptoms. Subjects become immobilized, incapable of advancing a limb, or physically resisting other entities that would harm them. SCP-4956 is able to cut through the subject's emotional restraints, leaving no lasting physiological trauma.
3216
3217If "initiating" SCP-4956 is not completed in 15 minutes, the resulting effect will dissipate before testing can continue. Recovery of subjects will result in permanent injury.
3218
3219Have a Todo List. The following is a short list of useful additions to current containment procedures:
3220
3221Patrol aisles of the facility in order to discover and document anyone with the ability to interact with SCP-4956. The team already assigned to SCP-4956, Dr. Bertagna, will be attacked if he is questioned. SCP-4956 will be allowed entry to Site 19 during testing. Dr. Bertagna will be given an increased security rating.
3222
3223Addendum: Testing
3224
32251 - After going into the elevator with SCP-4956, Dr. Petacchi attempts to enter the elevator's egress. SCP-4956 takes over command of the elevator and directs Dr. Petacchi to reenter the elevator. Even though SCP-4956 "thought" he was in his proper seat, Dr. Petacchi grabs the door handle and attempts to exit the elevator. SCP-4956 is responsible for the disappearance of Dr. Petacchi from the elevator.
3226
32272 - After Dr. Petacchi leaves the elevator, SCP-4956 refuses to allow any research assistant to enter the elevator. Shortly after, the research assistant's efforts are cut short by SCP-4956. SCP-4956 collapses on the floor and cracks the elevator's roof. With the power of a concentrated demon, SCP-4956 lifts the elevator off the ground and collapses itself.
3228
32293 - Several employees pass through the emergency exit of a Site 19 control room shortly after SCP-4956 collapses itself on the landing. Foundation personnel attempt to reach the control room to alert it to the incident, but are stopped at the threshold by SCP-4956. Subject appears to have survived the crash, only suffering superficial bruising. Personnel pressed SCP-4956 to continue the ascent and the rest of the elevator was eventually brought to the top of the elevator shaft.
3230
3231Addendum 2: Incident Report
3232
3233On 1/3/████, SCP-4956 underwent minor maintenance on its doors. SCP-4956 refused to leave the roof, remaining on the ground about 5 meters off the ground. SCP-4956 slowly drifted towards a panel next to the shaft and attempted to cut it through. At this point, its voice was heard faintly at the bottom of the elevator shaft. After thirty minutes, SCP-4956 began to drown in the pool of its own accumulated blood. The location where SCP-4956 sank is approximately 7 meters from the entrance to the elevator shaft. Incident Details begin here. SCP-4956 was able to dissolve immediately after the sinking.
3234
3235Investigation of the rest of the elevator room revealed that there were no visible windows or doors. SCP-4956 became illuminated from the outside at this point, shifting to a white-colored liquid, likely composed of cremains. The elevator's light faded and the door to the elevator lifted open. SCP-4956 reentered the vehicle, followed shortly by Dr. Petacchi. The position of the elevator, facing the rest of the building, was a new anomaly within Foundation operations. Investigation is continuing to determine the whereabouts of the containment team and other personnel. The remaining vehicles that were in the building at the time of the incident have been replaced with more secure ones.
3236
3237Investigation of SCP-4956's cell reveals that it is completely empty. The main features of the containment chamber have since been replaced, with facility records stored in the basement of Site 19.<|endoftext|>KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For starters, there’s a chance I could have cracked the code to Krisztian Nemeth’s future.

3247Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 is contained at Site 78. Personnel without Level 4 clearance are to be kept away from the object and are to wear eye protection while handling it. All attempts at retrieving SCP-4956, including the medical personnel required to perform Procedure 506-A-███, are to be carried out in a manner to prevent accidental lethal exposure. Entrance to Site 78 is to be restricted to Level 3-4 personnel only, as the "savings" in security for this level of clearance are rather negligible.
3248
3249Description: SCP-4956 is an object initially believed to be an extra-dimensional membrane, but found to be comprised entirely of polarity-orienting amniotic fluid, plastic, and [REDACTED]. Like all matter of nature, SCP-4956 is static in space and motion: it cannot be displaced and will not deform from seismic activity. However, at a distance between this distance and every other Euclid-class object, SCP-4956 has been observed to undergo metamorphosis. At every possible distance which would open to interdimensional transit, SCP-4956 exhibits varying physical alterations, shifting from dull gray to glossy blue to white to a metallic, metallic-like material (see Addendum 4956-1). These changes cannot be altered. SCP-4956's true identity remains unchanged for all measured distances.
3250
3251SCP-4956 has been exposed to nuclear detonations and thermonuclear detonations. In every case, all of the radiation and other anomalous particles presented to SCP-4956 have been accelerated beyond theoretical values. SCP-4956 will also undergo metamorphosis and radiation in response to surgical damage (see Addendum 4956-2).
3252
3253SCP-4956's hypothesized effect on Euclid-class objects, when confined to a solid and given kinetic stimuli to accelerate beyond a set point, appears to result in the failure of the objects. While the immediate functional differences between SCP-4956 and an organic object seem minor (such as increased nuclear explosion reliability or more rapidly decaying radioactive decay), upon extended exposure to physical effects, the impact of these changes appear to be catastrophic. It is hypothesized that physical perturbations caused by contact with SCP-4956 have a cumulative effect upon an object's inert state, causing failure at a cellular level. Testing performed on a simple household item, a "cross between a flower and a tree trimmer", shows that the device spontaneously ruptures and emits large amounts of radioactive material, along with severe burn wounds. No damage was caused by exposure. The proper means to remove SCP-4956 from a Euclid-class object are through transdermal implants or direct contact.
3254
3255Addendum 4956-1: In order to further determine the nature of its anomalous properties, SCP-4956 has been implanted with two experimentally created navigational systems: SCP-4956-S and SCP-4956-L. Based on their measurements of SCP-4956's local gravitational force and displacement data, each navigational system has determined the object to have a linear mass of 1.625x1021 kg (see Addendum 4956-3). Currently, SCP-4956 is tied with [REDACTED] as the largest object in containment.
3256
3257Addendum 4956-2: SCP-4956 underwent experimental remediation of internal trauma on July 5, 2016. Although images show that SCP-4956 has not been subject to thermal, chemical, or sound stimuli for over two weeks, the object's inert state has not been established. Several highly non-negligible experiments have concluded that the active phase of SCP-4956 will cease, and that SCP-4956's properties will revert back to normal when its anomalous properties are fully restored.
3258
3259On ██/██/████, an SCP-4956-L navigational system was disassembled, and an SCP-4956-S navigational system implanted onto SCP-4956's epidermis. After five minutes, the navigational systems were reassembled, and an extended period of equinox with Earth began, at which point SCP-4956's presence was seen for the first time in ██/██/████. Experimenters hypothesized that the navigational system's maximum observed navigational resolution had been accurately calculated as 43.5 astronomical units, representing the distances from the Earth to Proxima Centauri, Barnard's Star, and LHS 1228, respectively.
3260
3261Addendum 4956-3: In March of 2017, Foundation personnel injected SCP-4956 with a 3-hr long telemetry network allowing two navigational systems to be accurately observed via the object's insides. Both systems failed, but persisted for an additional 11 hours. Using SCP-4956-L, navigational systems 15 and 77 were simultaneously observed to shift relative to each other. The navigational systems' parameters was stable for up to

3267Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4956 has been maintained in its current storage location at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Mobile Task Force Alpha-4 "Saints of Texas" is tasked with the following objectives:
3268
3269Monitor the behavior of SCP-4956. Report information to the "Stories of the American Southwest" package. Manage a containment campaign involving the creation and distribution of symbols and images of Jesus, intended to provide safekeeping for SCP-4956. Prosecute any individuals advocating or engaged in the creation of material comparable to SCP-4956 and also decrease instances of the "Jesus myth theory" in Texas.
3270
3271There are currently five instances of the "Jesus myth theory" circulating throughout Texas. In order to successfully contain SCP-4956, messages or symbols must be created that oppose it and provide assurance to the public that "Jesus did not exist." Rewards of $500 are available for the creation of propaganda useful to this effort.
3272
3273SCP-4956's current housing has been isolated and secured against any unauthorized personnel. All personnel are to use the codeword "Jesus" when interacting with SCP-4956. Should any personnel communicate outside of the bounds established in this document, they will be removed from any further involvement with SCP-4956.
3274
3275Description: SCP-4956 is a human female currently thirty-five years of age. SCP-4956 is afflicted with a terminal diagnosis of terminal leukemia. It is theorized that SCP-4956 is aware of the seriousness of her condition, and that members of her church have been attempting to conceal the nature of her illness from her. All discussions of SCP-4956 within the church have ceased, and it is unknown how SCP-4956 has adapted to such circumstances. No reported fatalities have been caused by SCP-4956's cancer.
3276
3277SCP-4956 exhibits minimal emotion, preferring to focus on producing highly religious materials. She carries no protective equipment, and routinely wears a simple white blouse. Due to the inability to eliminate a viable cancer, SCP-4956 is unable to undergo surgery. Instead, SCP-4956 performs "God's work" in the form of creation, distribution, and elaboration of a religious work called "The Stories of the American Southwest," which will be outlined in greater detail below.
3278
3279Additional anti-Jesus writings have surfaced following the creation of SCP-4956's religious literature, SCP-4956 herself, and arrests related to the creation of similar works. SCP-4956 has stated that the work is fictitious, and has requested that its meaning be communicated only via religious writings.
3280
3281Addendum [6/4/██]: Testing of SCP-4956 revealed that the Blinding Light is capable of selectively hindering the cognitive functions of a subject in less than 0.2 seconds. Prior to this testing, no readings of SCP-4956 had been found to alter SCP-4956's affect. Since then, SCP-4956 has been found to produce a variety of anti-Christian writings around the clock, making the purpose of these writings unclear. It is theorized that SCP-4956's religious work prevents access to SCP-4956's pain-causing elements, allowing her to remain functionally normal.
3282
3283Addendum [6/4/██]: On ██/██/████, a syndromic disease known as MERS was discovered in SCP-4956's ██████ residence, resulting in her placement in quarantine. She remained in quarantine for eleven days. SCP-4956 exhibited signs of dehydration and hallucinations, and expired on ██/██/████. The effects of the disease were initially attributed to SCP-4956's "religious works." On ██/██/████, researchers entered SCP-4956's ██████ residence to determine why the disease had taken hold. The researchers discovered what they believed to be a religious work written by SCP-4956, among other trinkets, and confiscated the article. Foundation personnel later retrieved SCP-4956's artwork for review, but noted that the writing appeared to be entirely incoherent. Experimentation revealed that the writing is indistinguishable from normal religious artwork. It is hypothesized that the anomalous aspect of the item caused the mental instability of the article's creator.
3284
3285Addendum [7/13/██]: On ██/██/████, SCP-4956 was declared clinically stable and released from SCP-4956's containment cell. The article is currently undergoing review.
3286
3287Addendum [6/4/██]: Exploration Log: SCP-4956 is currently not accessible or capable of being accessed. A meeting point for collection of these materials is placed at Site ██.
