9Description: SCP-4962 is a male humanoid wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. The upper sections of SCP-4962's body are covered by a thin layer of skin, which appears to be a biological material. No part of SCP-4962's body or lower limbs is visible, save for the upper portions of the torso and upper arms. SCP-4962's hands are completely bare, and its fingertips, fingers, and toes appear to be entirely smooth and featureless.
10
11SCP-4962 takes the form and appearance of a 19-year-old male student, and is capable of mimicking any person's voice. When speaking, SCP-4962 appears to speak in his own voice, but will also mimic the cadence of any spoken word. In addition, SCP-4962 possesses the ability to mimic the mannerisms of persons who he has interacted with in the past. This ability only works when SCP-4962 is speaking to the person from earlier in the conversation, and does not work when SCP-4962 is speaking to a new person. SCP-4962 will also respond to questions about the previous person he or she spoke to.
12
13SCP-4962 is capable of duplicating the voices of persons who have died, as well as of other sounds that have been emitted by persons who have died, or have been emitted by persons who died. When speaking to the subjects of these sounds, SCP-4962 will sometimes imitate their speech, as well as the mannerisms of persons who they have interacted with in the past.
14
15SCP-4962 will also appear to mimic the voice of a person who has died within the last ██ minutes, and will often attempt to speak in that person's voice.
16
17SCP-4962 sometimes asks questions to the subjects of these sounds. SCP-4962 is also capable of mimicking the speech patterns of people who he or she has interacted with in the past. If asked a question that was not previously answered by the subject of the sound, SCP-4962 will respond. This is similar to the response that SCP-████ will make when asked the same question.

21Interviewed: SCP-4962 Interviewer: Dr. K
22
23Foreword: Dr. K was to interview SCP-4962 to determine if it had any history of SCP-████-like behavior. On arrival at Site-32, Dr. K was told that there would be no interview since the subject's condition was a secret. Instead, Dr. K was instructed to conduct a test using SCP-4962.
24
25<Begin Log> Dr. K: SCP-4962, can you tell me about yourself? SCP-4962: My name is… uhm, what was it again? SCP-4962: It's not important. My name is SCP-4962. Dr. K: Please elaborate. SCP-4962: I'm a… uhm, a… uhh… a student. Dr. K: …what kind of student? SCP-4962: A student about to graduate from high school. In my class is a little girl, and in her class is a boy who is about your age. Dr. K: Why do you think this is? SCP-4962: I… well, I don't know. I guess it's something I've never seen before. Dr. K: Are you familiar with the SCP Foundation? SCP-4962: No, actually. I don't know why they're called the SCP Foundation. Dr. K: Is that why you mimicked their voices? SCP-4962: Oh, yes. For the Foundation. Dr. K: Why? SCP-4962: I just thought it was funny. Dr. K: You think that's funny? SCP-4962: That's why I do it, isn't it? Dr. K: You're serious? SCP-4962: It's a little difficult to describe, but… yes. It's a little… it's a little silly, isn't it? Dr. K: I see. How did this come about? SCP-4962: Well, I don't know. Sometimes I do this, and other times I don't. It's just a bit of a habit. Dr. K: Okay. Thank you for your time, SCP-4962. <End Log>

35Special Containment Procedures: No physical containment procedures are required. No one but researchers on-site are to access SCP-4962. No access points have been found in SCP-4962's containment chamber.
36
37Description: SCP-4962 is the name for a group of six paintings in SCP-4962's containment chamber. The paintings are numbered from 1-6. All paintings are the same height and width at the base, but vary in height and width at the top.
38
39Each painting is painted in the same style, with the same subject matter being depicted. The subject matter depicted by each painting is not different from the subject matter depicted by the preceding painting.
40
41The paintings were originally acquired by an individual in the early 1900's. The individual was a young, wealthy, Caucasian male who lived in England. He bought the paintings from a private dealer, who sold them to his son when the son was in his 20s. The son did not know he was buying the paintings until years later.
42
43The paintings were eventually passed down through the family until they were given to a museum in London. The museum is currently unaware of the history of their ownership.
44
45The paintings have no physical properties apart from the art's title and the style used. The paintings appear to contain no anomalous properties.
46
47When any one of the paintings is approached, the individual attempting to approach that painting will be teleported to a different painting. Individuals who attempt to approach any one painting but who are outside the painting's perimeter will be teleported to an adjacent painting.

89Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-4962 must be contained within a standard humanoid containment cell. All instances of SCP-4962 must be contained within a standard humanoid containment cell. Due to the extreme difficulty in finding an instance of SCP-4962, any instances of SCP-4962 found outside of humanoid containment must be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell for the duration of their life.
90
91Description: SCP-4962 is a species of creature that is only capable of reproducing while in a humanoid containment cell. When placed into a humanoid containment cell, SCP-4962 will remain in the cell for the duration of its life.
92
93SCP-4962 will begin to grow more quickly in size, and will begin to display characteristics of a human's face and body. SCP-4962 will attempt to use the features of a human face and body to communicate with its new host. The host will be required to identify SCP-4962 and move towards it. If the host does not, SCP-4962 will become enraged and attempt to kill them. After a period of time, SCP-4962 will begin to consume the human's body and turn into smaller versions of the host.
94
95SCP-4962 can be removed from its host when a suitable host is found. If SCP-4962 is not removed from its host, SCP-4962 will begin to grow rapidly again. Upon reaching adulthood, SCP-4962 will kill its host and begin to reproduce.
96
97SCP-4962 will then begin to consume the host's body and turn into smaller versions of the host. SCP-4962 will now use the characteristics of a human body to communicate with the new host. If the new host does not identify SCP-4962, SCP-4962 will become enraged and attempt to kill them. After a period of time, SCP-4962 will consume the new host's body and turn into smaller versions of the host.
98
99SCP-4962's SCP-4962-1 will attempt to kill the new host, and SCP-4962 will consume the new host's body. The new host's SCP-4962-1 will then begin to communicate with the new host. If the new host does not identify SCP-4962, SCP-4962 will become enraged and attempt to kill them. After a period of time, SCP-4962 will consume the new host's body and turn into smaller versions of the host.

117Special Containment Procedures: Currently SCP-4962 is kept in a 12 x 48 x 20 cm room at Site-██ in a plastic box with a hole cut in the top. It is to be examined, photographed, and the contents of the box stored in a standard computerized data bank.
118
119Description: SCP-4962 is a standard, 8-track cassette tape. The tape bears a label of unknown origin. It has no cover. The tape appears to be a recording of a single musical performance conducted by a man by the name of "C. Lusztik". This SCP-4962 recording is the first recorded musical performance by a human being.
120
121SCP-4962 is capable of playing three different tunes (see addenda). These tunes have been recorded in different versions between ██ and ██ times, with the exception of SCP-4962-2. SCP-4962-2 is an improvised version of C. Lusztik's rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic".
122
123One of the three tunes, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", can theoretically be played by anyone. However only D-class personnel with a baseline musical IQ would be able to play it properly. If D-class personnel did not possess a baseline musical IQ, it seems they could play it at an elevated level, but no further.
124
125SCP-4962 also plays a second tune, "The Battle Hymn of the White Plume Mountain (Tyrannus)". A large portion of the song's lyrics, as well as its music, are either written in a very cryptic manner, or contain symbols and/or coded messages. This second tune was not performed by SCP-4962 at any point, but it seems to be able to be played by anyone.

129"The Battle Hymn of the White Plume Mountain (Tyrannus)"
130
131Dr. ████, I've been to the White Plume Mountain before. I've seen it. My sister was there. She looked so beautiful. She'd be just a pretty, pretty girl, if she weren't so pretty. But she was not so pretty. And I could go on. A few years ago, I lost my sister and my life to the White Plume Mountain. I found the White Plume Mountain at my sister's grave, but the White Plume Mountain took me there. And then it took me there again. It's the White Plume Mountain that turned my sister into a dragon. Not the White Plume Mountain that saved us. It's the White Plume Mountain that turned me into a monster. And it's the White Plume Mountain that's going to bring us all together and kill us all.
132
133Dr. ████, I don't want to die. I don't want to go away. I don't want to lose my mind and my sanity and my purpose. I don't want to lose my body or my mind or my life. I want to stay alive. I want to stay sane. I want to stay alive. I'm so lonely and lonely and lonely and lonely. I need to be alone, and I need to be alone with myself, and I need to be alone with my dreams, and I need to be alone with my thoughts. I need to be alone with my family, and I need to be alone with my friends.
134
135The White Plume Mountain will not save me. It will not save you or me or… anyone. And we're all going to die. And the White Plume Mountain will laugh and look longingly at you and laugh at you, and it will laugh and look longingly at me and look longingly at you. And it will laugh and look longingly at the man who died and he will look longingly up at the skies and laugh and laugh and laugh.
136
137And it will laugh until the very last breath we all take, and it will laugh and look longingly at the man who died and it will look longingly up at the skies and laugh and laugh and laugh. And it will laugh until the very last breath we all take. And the White Plume Mountain will laugh and look longingly at you and look longingly at me and look longingly up at the heavens and it will look longingly up at you and look longingly up at me and look longingly up at you and look longingly up at you. And the White Plume Mountain will laugh until the very last breath we all take. And the White Plume Mountain will look longingly up at you and look longingly up at me and look longingly up at you and look longingly up at me and look longingly up at you. And the White Plume Mountain will laugh and look longingly up at you and look longingly up at me and look

143Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in an isolated, air-tight chamber at Site-17. The chamber is to be kept at a high temperature of 100°C, and is to be monitored by infrared. The chamber is to be cleaned at least twice a week and its interior is to be kept in pristine condition.
144
145Description: SCP-4962 is the personal object of Dr. ███ ████. SCP-4962 is a black, velvet-lined box, measuring 1.5 m x 1.5 m x 1.5 m. When opened, SCP-4962 contains a book titled "In Memorium of Dr. ████". The book contains the names of all Foundation personnel who have died in the line of duty, with the last entry being dated ██/██/20██.
146
147SCP-4962 has shown the ability to detect the presence and emotion of any living human being in the vicinity of the box. When the box is opened, SCP-4962 will emit an unknown substance which causes human beings within a 1.5 meter radius to react violently in one of four ways:
148
149The subject will scream in agony, resulting in them collapsing, with their body breaking apart from the internal organs being destroyed and/or incinerated.
150
151The subject will begin to convulse, resulting in them falling over and passing out.
152
153The subject will become violent and attack the nearest living being.
154
155The subject will violently attack and kill the nearest living being.
156
157SCP-4962 has shown the ability to cause any living human being within a 2 meter radius of the box to become violently ill, with symptoms beginning within 15 seconds of opening SCP-4962.

163Interviewer: Dr. ███
164
165Foreword: Following the previous interview, Dr. ███ requested D-1253's help in locating the box.
166
167<Begin Log>
168
169Dr. ███: I'm here with Agent █████. How are you today?
170
171D-1253: I'm fine. What's up, doc?
172
173Dr. ███: I'm here with Agent █████, as well. I've been assigned to investigate reports of a new SCP object that appears to be linked to Dr. ████.
174
175D-1253: You mean the woman who died? Is she there?
176
177Dr. ███: Yes, she's there. I've had Agent █████ search the box for you.
178
179D-1253: You've already searched it? What happened?
180
181Dr. ███: I found something in the first page. It's a copy of the journal Dr. ████ wrote about his wife.
182
183D-1253: I don't understand. How'd you find it?
184
185Dr. ███: I have a feeling we'll need it later. Do you understand, doc?
186
187D-1253: No. What's in there?
188
189Dr. ███: Everything I know about her. My wife's name is █████. She was my wife for ten years. She died ten years ago. She was the last person I'd expected to be dead…
190
191D-1253: Oh. Okay. She was always a good woman, wasn't she?
192
193Dr. ███: Her husband was a monster. They were together for ten years. They lived in the same house. Her husband was always trying to kill her. She tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen to her. She tried to leave him, but he wouldn't let her go. She was constantly trying to kill him. But he always had an escape plan. He'd find her in the middle of the night and kill her. He didn't care about anything other than her. She was his only purpose. He knew how to make her happy. He killed her over and over again. The only time she ever smiled was when he had to take her to the doctor.
194
195D-1253: I see. So what was he doing while she was in the bathroom?
196
197Dr. ███: He took her to the doctor all the time. He wasn't a doctor. He wanted her dead. That's why he took her to the doctor. He didn't care if she lived or died. I know he killed her. He'd kill her again.
198
199D-1253: So he wanted her to die?
200
201Dr. ███: He wanted her to die. Because she was his purpose and purpose was her life.
202
203D-1253: And what was that purpose?
204
205Dr. ███: She was my wife. She was the reason I got my job at the clinic

211Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site-██. SCP-4962 is to be monitored by 3-5 level 2 guards at all times, and must be checked twice daily for any signs of damage, and a sample of its blood is to be taken for testing.
212
213On the occasion of a containment breach, at least one level 2 guard and a member of the Biohazard Containment Team are to have access to SCP-4962's cell for 3-5 minutes at a time, during which time the guard is to use special equipment to remove any objects or materials that SCP-4962 is not able to separate, and to retrieve any dead tissue and blood from SCP-4962's cell.
214
215Any instance of SCP-4962 that is able to move more than 1 metre away from the nearest standard humanoid containment cell will be removed from Site-██ and relocated to a containment cell of the appropriate size, to prevent SCP-4962 from forming a containment breach. Any other instances of SCP-4962 that are not able to move away from a standard humanoid containment cell will be taken to a standard humanoid containment cell, to prevent SCP-4962 from forming a containment breach.
216
217If SCP-4962's blood sample proves to be infected with a virus, the Foundation is to investigate and determine its source.
218
219Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid with a body length of approximately 2.4 metres, a height of 2.4 metres, and an average weight of 50 kilograms. SCP-4962 appears to be a Caucasian male in his mid-twenties, with brown hair and brown eyes. SCP-4962 seems to be able to move around the cell at will, although it is unable to walk.
220
221SCP-4962 is completely sterile, without any external signs of infection or disease. SCP-4962 has a pair of arms and legs, and a pair of legs attached to a torso, which is otherwise unremarkable. A series of small organs are located on the right side of SCP-4962's body. All of them are in the shape of two long fingers separated into two pairs of digits, which are about 3 cm in length. Each pair of fingers has three fingers on the thumb, and two fingers on the first finger. SCP-4962's mouth is located in the middle of its chest, and contains a single large open maw containing 3 holes, which are closed by teeth. The three holes are capable of being closed by the same set of teeth. SCP-4962's eyes are located in the head, and are closed. The inner walls of SCP-4962's mouth are covered in teeth, which extend past the outer walls, and are in the shape of a double row of teeth, with two rows of teeth on the front and back of the mouth. SCP-4962's tongue is not visible.
222
223All of SCP-4962's organs are anatomically compatible with those of other known humans, as well as those of various large mammals, including lions, tigers, and bears, and are perfectly normal in appearance. SCP-4962 possesses a number of abnormalities that are unknown to current medical science, including a missing appendix, and multiple scars on its skin. SCP-4962 is able to move around using its four limbs, and has the ability to speak and understand English.
224
225The first instance of SCP-4962 was discovered in ███████, ██████, when a group of ████████ citizens, including ████████ ████ ████████, became infected with SCP-4962's blood during a riot. The group was transported to Site-██, where the ████████ citizens were given free medical treatment. During this time, more cases of SCP-4962 were discovered, and the Foundation began to make efforts to contain the entity.
226
227SCP-4962 is extremely resilient to damage, and will repair any damage it has sustained, and can be rebuilt with any remaining parts of its body. Furthermore, when the blood sample of one instance of SCP-4962 that has been infected with a virus is introduced into the bloodstream of another instance of SCP-4962, the second instance will be able to heal itself through the virus, and will no longer be affected by the original instance's infection.
228
229SCP-4962 has been referred to as the "Bloodstain Hunter" and the "Bloodstain Hunter Containment Team" due to its constant attempts to remove instances of SCP-4962 from containment cells when it is discovered that an instance of SCP-4962 will be present when the virus enters the bloodstream of an instance of SCP-4962 that is not infected. SCP-4962 has been theorized to be a parasite originating from SCP-4962's mouth, but this theory has not been confirmed.

237Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is contained within a standard containment cell in Site-19, and is to be kept in the cell at all times. The cell is to be equipped with standard locks and a video monitor. All personnel are to be briefed on the containment procedures prior to any tests with SCP-4962. If any personnel are found to have made an unauthorized test with SCP-4962, they will be suspended from duty until the test has been properly documented.
238
239Description: SCP-4962 is a wooden plaque measuring 7.9 cm by 4.0 cm. It bears an engraving of an unknown symbol on the upper right-hand side. The symbol has been translated using a combination of shorthand and the language of the Native American tribe that lived in the area of the site. The inscription on the plaque reads "Treaty of Dancing Spirit". This inscription is in direct violation of the Treaty of Dancing Spirit, and has never been approved by the Navajo nation, nor is it recognized by any other American Indian tribe.

241SCP-4962 is capable of being used as a weapon. When touched by a subject, the plaque will vibrate. The vibration can be heard and felt by the subject in the form of an audible tone, even if they have no visible physical evidence of contact. The sound of the vibration can be picked up only by the ear of a subject who has no visible physical evidence of contact with the object.
242
243The sound of the vibration can only be picked up by the ear of a subject who has no visible physical evidence of contact with the object. The sound of the vibration can only be picked up by the ear of a subject who has no visible physical evidence of contact with the object. However, when a subject walks close enough to the object, the sound can be heard by others.
244
245If the sound of the vibration is picked up by the ear of a subject who has no visible physical evidence of contact with the object, the subject will begin to move towards the sound, moving at a rate of approximately 2 cm per second. This motion is not slowed by anything, including gravity. If the subject makes contact with the object, a sharp vibration will be emitted from the object. The subject will be pushed by the force of the vibration until there is no longer any visible physical evidence of contact. If the subject is moved by the force of the vibration, the object will fall to the ground, and the subject may move around it at their leisure.
246
247If the subject is not pushed by the force of the vibration, the object will continue to move towards the subject at a rate of approximately 8 cm per second, but with a smaller velocity. If the subject is not moving towards the object, the object will continue to move towards the subject at a rate of approximately 5 cm per second. If the subject is moving towards the object, the object will fall to the ground and the subject may move around it at their leisure.
248
249If the subject is pushed by the force of the vibration, the object will continue to move towards the subject at a rate of approximately 2 cm per second. If the subject is not pushed by the force of the vibration, the object will continue to move towards the subject at a rate of approximately 1 cm per second. If the subject is pushed by the force of the vibration, the object will fall to the ground and the subject may move around it at their leisure.

253SCP-4962 is capable of being used as a weapon at the rate of the object moving towards the subject. However, the sound of the vibration will not be heard, as the sound would travel through the air before reaching the subject.<|endoftext|>The National Weather Service (NWS) has been caught altering its website's weather forecast information, adding fake data to the National Weather Service's forecast and showing fake hourly values on the official National Weather Service website.
254
255On Tuesday, the NWS updated its forecasts online and added a new hourly forecast for a tropical storm that had been downgraded. The hourly forecast was based on a forecast from the GFS model, which can be manipulated to show false forecasts.
256
257The NWS website showed the new hourly forecast on Tuesday morning, only to take it down by Tuesday afternoon. It never went back up.
258
259"It had a fake forecast that was updated. Had two fake forecasts, one that was downgraded at 11:00 and another that was upgraded during the next five hours. It was not accurate," said Eric Holthaus, a meteorologist for Slate. "For us, that's a serious offense as a public service and as a government entity."
260
261Holthaus said that the change shows a "complete disregard for public trust and confidence."

271Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in an adjacent room to its containment area. SCP-4962 is to be made no less than 10 cm thick and made of carbon steel. A window is to be installed on the side of SCP-4962, with a clear view of its containment area.
272
273SCP-4962 is to be checked every 48 hours for signs of damage or loss of movement. A full report on any damage to the structure is to be provided to the site director.
274
275Description: SCP-4962 is a 1m tall metallic object with an irregularly shaped head and a rounded body. Its surface is covered in a coating of some unknown material. Further testing is to be conducted on samples of the object, as well as on SCP-4962 itself.
276
277SCP-4962 is capable of manipulating objects and people with the use of its head. Objects that the head touches will be manipulated to behave in a manner indicative of the object it is holding. The manipulation is carried out by means of electromagnets which are implanted in the head. These magnets have never been explained in detail, but are capable of causing minor damage to the body of the person undergoing manipulation. It is unknown what is actually being manipulated, as SCP-4962 is able to control humans at will. No evidence has been found that SCP-4962 is capable of causing any physical harm.
278
279SCP-4962 was discovered when a child approached the containment area of SCP-4962. When questioned, the child claimed to have previously seen SCP-4962, but had been unable to describe it. The child was taken to the hospital and was administered a Class Three amnestic.

283Addendum: Incident 4962-A
284
285On ██/██/████, personnel of the ████████ ████ Foundation discovered an entrance to SCP-4962 when the entrance was accidentally opened by an unidentified entity. Agent ████ informed the site director, Dr. █████, of the event. Dr. █████ was informed of the incident shortly after, and instructed the containment area to be immediately sealed. SCP-4962 was contained in the adjacent room for the following reasons:
286
287SCP-4962 appeared to be in an extremely damaged state due to the damage the entity had inflicted on it during its entry. The entrance was unstable, and the entrance was not likely to be able to be opened any more than once.
288
289The entity's presence and behavior did not match those expected of a human.
290
291It was determined that the entity was not capable of making any physical harm, and was not aware that SCP-4962 existed.

295Dr. █████: What was that thing that came through the door? SCP-4962: I have no idea. Agent ████: Does it look human? SCP-4962: No. I can't tell what kind of human it is, but it's not human. Dr. █████: That's not good? SCP-4962: No, that's great. Thank you. Please don't call me that. Dr. █████: Alright. What's your name? SCP-4962: I'm sorry, I don't remember. You can call me whatever you want, but I'm trying to get out of this room. Dr. █████: Alright. Let's start with the obvious. What are you? SCP-4962: I don't know. Agent ████: What do you mean you don't know? SCP-4962: I don't know what I am. I don't understand why I'm here. I don't understand what I can do, and I don't understand how I can get out. I don't know what it is that I'm doing. Dr. █████: Why are you trying to get out of here? SCP-4962: I can't leave! It's too dangerous. Dr. █████: Can you be more specific about what you're afraid of? SCP-4962: I don't know. I don't know anything. It's too dark. I don't know any more than that. Dr. █████: What do you mean you don't know? SCP-4962: I don't think so. It's too dark. It's too scary. I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know what it is that I'm trying to do. Dr. █████: How did they get in here? SCP-4962: I don't know. I don't know. It's too dark. I can't see anything. It's too scary. Dr. █████: How long did they stay? SCP-4962: I don't know, I don't know! It's too dark. I

307Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is to monitor all attempts to create SCP-4962 outside of the Foundation, as well as any attempts to replicate it. The Foundation has been instructed to maintain a list of individuals and organizations known to have access to SCP-4962, including the names of any researchers and administrators who have access to SCP-4962. The Foundation is to maintain surveillance of any vehicles used for travel between the North Pole and the South Pole, and to use any vehicles found on the North Pole to transport SCP-4962.
308
309Description: SCP-4962 is a unique item of clothing made of cotton with an anomalous effect capable of transporting objects. Objects that cross SCP-4962's field of effect appear to be transported to a different location, although this seems to be dependent on the individual wearing SCP-4962. Individuals in possession of SCP-4962 appear to be able to alter their position in space in order to transport objects to their destination. Objects that have been transported to the same location twice will appear to be transported back to the same location. It is currently unknown how SCP-4962 is able to transport objects; it may be due to unknown properties of SCP-4962. All attempts to create a duplicate of SCP-4962 have failed.
310
311SCP-4962 was originally created by Dr. ██████ on ██/██/19██. Dr. ██████'s clothing, along with the other items found in the possession of Dr. ██████, was found in a warehouse rented by Dr. ██████ on ██/█/19██.
312
313SCP-4962 has been identified as a pattern of anomalous threads woven into the garment of Dr. ██████. There are several theories regarding the origin of SCP-4962. The first is that SCP-4962 is a pattern of spider silk that was woven into a sweater by Dr. ██████, and that during the time Dr. ██████ worked as a textile designer he was working on a series of designs for his clients. The second theory is that Dr. ██████'s patterns were created in secret by his clients in order to aid in their projects.
314
315Addendum 4962-01: The following excerpts are excerpts from interviews conducted with Dr. ██████ on ██/██/19██.
316
317Interviewed: Dr. ██████ Interviewer: Agent ██████ Foreword: Agent ██████ and Dr. ██████ were to interview Dr. ██████ regarding the origin of SCP-4962. <Begin log> Agent: So, what happened to you, Dr. ██████? Dr. ██████: I was working at the textile factory when the incident occurred. When I arrived at the hospital it was already over. I was in shock. All I could do was sit on the floor and try to keep from going mad. Agent: What happened? Dr. ██████: I was trying to create a pattern and I got the wrong thread. It was supposed to be a silk that would change color as it stretched. I thought the pattern would change color with the temperature of the temperature in the room, but the color was already the same. Agent: So you lost your pattern? Dr. ██████: Yes. I went home and I couldn't stop crying. Then I heard the police arrived, and when I went out to check on them they told me they found a pattern of silk in my car. Agent: So what happened after that? Dr. ██████: I stayed there in the hospital until the doctors told them that I'd been injured. They gave me some morphine, and told me to rest and that I'd be fine. Agent: Okay. Is there any message you want to give me? Dr. ██████: No. I had a lot of fun, and I'm glad that the pattern was lost. Agent: Did you have any other patterns that you wore, other than SCP-4962? Dr. ██████: Yes. I had a dress with an embroidered pattern that would change colors as well, I guess. Agent: That's strange, as I thought the pattern in SCP-4962 was just a pattern of threads. How do you know it's not really a pattern of threads? Dr. ██████: I don't know. I just wanted to use the pattern as a pattern for my dress. Agent: Okay, we'll check the records of the textile factory to see if they have any records of a pattern of silk being used in a dress that was produced by them. Dr. ██████: Thank you. [END LOG]

329Description: SCP-4962-1 is a non-anomalous humanoid of European descent. SCP-4962-1 is currently contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber, but may be transported to a standard humanoid containment chamber at will. At no time may the two chambers be within 500 meters of one another and SCP-4962-1 is not to interact with any human beings.
330
331When SCP-4962-1 is in a humanoid containment chamber, SCP-4962-2 will be able to communicate telepathically with SCP-4962-1.
332
333SCP-4962-1's abilities are limited to those of a normal human, and are described as similar with those of a 7 year old child. When not in a humanoid containment chamber, SCP-4962-1, at all times, exhibits the following behavior:
334
335Does not react to pain
336
337Does not cry
338
339Does not complain of hunger
340
341Does not engage in physical activity
342
343Is not easily startled
344
345Does not appear to be stressed
346
347SCP-4962-1's behavior is not limited to those of a normal human, and has been observed to be significantly more aggressive than the typical non-anomalous human (see Addendum-4962-7).

409Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-4962 instances are to be contained within Foundation facilities, subject to Level 3 biohazard containment. Personnel are to be made aware of the nature of SCP-4962 and their role in its containment. The Foundation has successfully contained all cases of SCP-4962 in the United States and Canada except for one instance in Canada, which is currently under containment at Site-66.
410
411Should the Foundation encounter a new case of SCP-4962, the affected instance is to be destroyed, unless it is part of an ongoing investigation.
412
413Description: SCP-4962 is a group of anomalous objects known collectively as SCP-4962-1 and are classified as Keter-Class in nature. SCP-4962-1 is a group of objects composed entirely of a human skeleton of an unknown species, with the exception of SCP-4962-1-A, which is composed of a human skeleton with a large portion of the vertebrae removed and replaced with a metal rod and a hollow metal cylinder. SCP-4962-1-A is a human skeleton with the head of a chimpanzee. SCP-4962-1-B is a human skeleton with the head of an Asian elephant.
414
415The majority of SCP-4962-1 instances are composed of a human skeleton of an unknown species possessing the following anomalous properties:
416
417Each instance of SCP-4962-1 is a human skeleton with the head of a chimpanzee, and the body of an Asian elephant.
418
419Every instance is capable of speech.
420
421All instances possess human-level intelligence.
422
423Each instance is capable of surviving without food, water, or oxygen for long periods of time.
424
425Each instance is capable of locomotion, and is capable of surviving without oxygen.
426
427Each instance is capable of communicating with each other, and has a history of socializing with other instances of SCP-4962-1.
428
429SCP-4962-1 instances are not sapient, and cannot perceive emotions. The majority of SCP-4962-1 instances do not understand the concept of self.
430
431SCP-4962-1 instances have no ability to communicate with non-SCP-4962-1 instances through any means, and will not attempt to do so in any capacity.
432
433SCP-4962-1 are to be held and treated as a Keter Class object at all times.
434
435Addendum 4962-A: On ██/██/20██, the Foundation received complaints from residents of ████, Utah, regarding the anomalous properties of three SCP-4962-1 instances that had been installed in the ███████, Arizona, high school's gymnasium. All instances of SCP-4962-1 had been removed from their original locations when the school was built, and replaced with metal rods, hollow metal cylinders, and large metal plates. No instances of SCP-4962-1 had been located after this incident.
436
437Addendum 4962-B: On ██/██/20██, the Foundation received reports of an instance of SCP-4962-1 that was present at the same gymnasium as the previous one being used as a stand-in for an unknown individual. Upon investigation, the Foundation learned that the gymnasium was being used as a location for a children's game known as "Spin the Bottle."
438
439As the game is a popular event for young children, the Foundation has made arrangements to acquire a sufficient number of SCP-4962-1 instances to maintain a permanent containment.
440
441Addendum 4962-C: On ██/██/20██, reports of an instance of SCP-4962-1 that was present at the gymnasium being used as a stand-in for an unknown individual was received. Upon investigation, the Foundation learned that the gymnasium was being used as a location for a children's game known as "Spin the Bottle." As the game is a popular event for young children, the Foundation has made arrangements to acquire a sufficient number of SCP-4962-1 instances to maintain a permanent containment.<|endoftext|>The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has declared the Gulf of Mexico "unhealthier for the sake of health."

461Description: SCP-4962 is a wooden table, approximately 10 feet in length with a wooden top and seat. SCP-4962 has no apparent anomalous properties.
462
463SCP-4962 was discovered in ██████, Wisconsin, on September 3, 1967, when a local newspaper published a hoax about a "man-sized" table in the local high school. No witnesses claimed to have seen this table, and the newspaper article was not published in any local newspaper.
464
465On the evening of September 8, 1967, at approximately 10:30 PM, two young children (approx. 5 years old) visited SCP-4962, and it was discovered that they were able to manipulate the tables through use of both hands, and that SCP-4962 acted as a portal between two locations. During the next two days, the local police department began to receive reports of "mysterious figures" running through the streets of ██████, and reports of "mysterious" doors opening and closing.
466
467On the night of September 9, 1967, a local news crew attempted to interview one of the young children as a precaution to determine if SCP-4962 could be used to control the local animals. However, the interview was interrupted by a "distorted" voice which told the children to "leave the table." All three children then ran off, and the camera crew was able to document the events of the following morning.
468
469SCP-4962 has subsequently been located at the ██████, Wisconsin high school, in the basement of the library. No evidence of the children or the event was found.
470
471SCP-4962 is capable of creating "portals" through which subject or object can be transported, but a portal created by SCP-4962 cannot be opened or closed. All portals created by SCP-4962 appear to have been created from a wooden table, with the top and sides constructed from a variety of materials.
472
473SCP-4962 will only create a portal if the subject is at least one meter away from the table while it is being created. The distance between subject and table is measured in millimeters, with smaller distances resulting in shorter distances between the table and the subject.
474
475SCP-4962's effects are independent of an object or subject in the portal's path. Objects, including D-Class personnel, do not appear to be affected by the portal.
476
477SCP-4962 was originally discovered by the local police department, but no trace of the table or the children have been found. No reports of anomalous activity were found in the high school or the surrounding area.

482
483<Begin Log> Dr. █████████: Hello, SCP-4962. What can you tell me? SCP-4962: I believe I have to explain what happened to the children. Dr. ██████████: All right, where were they when you created your portals? SCP-4962: I made one from the wood of the table I was standing before, but the children were not standing there when I made my Portal. Dr. ██████████: Was there anything unusual about them when they entered the portal? SCP-4962: Not really. They just… disappeared. Dr. █████████

489Special Containment Procedures: No specific measures are necessary. Access to SCP-4962 is unrestricted. All SCP-4962-A instances are to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell located within Site-██. The cell is to be kept at least 50 m from any SCP-4962 instances and is to be guarded by at least five (5) Level 3 personnel.
490
491Description: SCP-4962 is a collection of at least six (6) humanoid SCP-4962-A instances. Each instance of SCP-4962-A is approximately 25 m in height, with black hair and eyes. SCP-4962-A instances are entirely naked, and appear to be devoid of any clothing in the manner of a human corpse. They do not possess any organs or tissue from which to form flesh.
492
493SCP-4962-A instances cannot speak, and will attempt to communicate with at least twelve (12) living human subjects as if they were communicating through an external medium. SCP-4962-A instances will attempt to interact with any living human subject by mimicking the subject's voice, using a combination of their own and a human's voice.
494
495If a human subject is able to communicate with SCP-4962-A at all, but the subject is not present in the subject's immediate vicinity, or when that subject is incapacitated by physical or mental trauma, then SCP-4962-A instances will attempt to initiate a conversation with that subject.
496
497As soon as a spoken conversation begins between SCP-4962-A instances and a human subject, both instances will begin to move towards that subject. SCP-4962-A instances will move at least 150 m away from the subject, and will stop as soon as they are within 30 m of the subject. SCP-4962-A instance will begin to examine the subject, as well as attempt to get a response from the subject. If the subject does not respond, the instance will begin to move in the direction of a nearby source of light (e.g. an open door, or a nearby candle) as soon as the conversation begins. If the subject is wearing any type of clothing at the time of the conversation, SCP-4962-A instances will attempt to touch the subject.
498
499After approximately three (3) minutes of attempting to communicate with a subject, SCP-4962-A instances will begin to move in the direction of a source of light (e.g. a candle, or a light from a torch), and will stop moving once they are within approximately 10 m of the source of light.
500
501If SCP-4962-A instances are unable to touch the subject, and have been unable to communicate with the subject for the majority of the time a conversation has been ongoing, SCP-4962-A instances will attempt to communicate with the subject using a medium of their choice regardless of the subject's gender or gender identity.
502
503SCP-4962-A instances will not attempt to communicate with any other SCP-4962-A instances, nor will any SCP-4962-A instances communicate with other instances of SCP-4962-A. If a subject attempts to communicate with SCP-4962-A instances, and the subject is unable to communicate, or is unable to communicate properly in any manner, then the conversation will end in failure.

517Description: SCP-4962 is a series of human remains, consisting of six individuals who have been classified as SCP-4962-A, SCP-4962-B, and SCP-4962-C (SCP-4962-1 through 6). The remains are in a state of decay, and have been determined to be human, but are currently in a state of extreme decay. SCP-4962-A is the head of a female, estimated age ██ years old, who is currently lying in the process of disintegration. SCP-4962-A's body is in a state of severe decay, and it appears to have been missing its right arm in an attack on the individual. SCP-4962-B is the right leg of a male, estimated age ██ years old, who is currently lying in the process of disintegration. SCP-4962-B's body is in a state of extreme decay, and it appears to have been missing its left arm in an attack on the individual. SCP-4962-C is the right arm of a male, estimated age ██ years old, who is currently lying in the process of disintegration. SCP-4962-C's body is in a state of extreme decay, and it appears to have been missing its right hand in an attack on the individual. SCP-4962-G is the right hand of a male, estimated age ██ years old, who is currently laying in the process of disintegration. SCP-4962-G's hand is in a state of extreme decay, and it appears to have been absent from the individual since the beginning of decomposition.

537Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962's current location is currently unknown. SCP-4962's current condition, if it occurs, must be monitored by remote monitoring.
538
539Description: SCP-4962 is a large (20m x 20m) wooden box on wheels. It is covered with a white cloth. The box is not normally moved from its current location. When it is moved, SCP-4962 will move to a new location along with the cloth covering it. SCP-4962's cloth moves with the cloth as it moves, so that the cloth covers a smaller area than the box.
540
541When SCP-4962 moves, it appears to be composed of several different materials. The cloth is constructed of a material similar to wool but does not have any properties that would normally be expected of other materials. The cloth has been found to be extremely durable. When the cloth is removed from the box, it appears to be completely dry.
542
543SCP-4962 can be moved under the assumption that the cloth will not spontaneously combust. SCP-4962 appears to be able to survive the temperatures of approximately -13 degrees Celsius. However, if the cloth is heated to a temperature sufficient to ignite the cloth, SCP-4962 will rapidly burn to ash. SCP-4962 will not spontaneously combust after the cloth's temperature is reached. SCP-4962 will remain as it is after SCP-4962 is burned to ash.
544
545When the cloth is removed from the box, it will appear in the location it had been previously, in the same manner as the cloth was burned to ash. The cloth can remain in the same location indefinitely.
546
547SCP-4962's cloth appears to be composed of the same materials it was composed of before SCP-4962 was burned.
548
549Addendum: Experiment 4962-01:
550
551Dr. ████████ attempted to move SCP-4962 to a different location. As Dr. ████████ moved SCP-4962, the cloth that had been burned to ash remained where it was. When SCP-4962 was moved again, it was found that SCP-4962's cloth had not been burned to ash, and that SCP-4962 was still in the same location in the same manner as before. The experiment was terminated.<|endoftext|>About

571Trivia<|endoftext|>Singer Taylor Swift is about to give a surprise performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, which will air live on Sunday, Aug. 25, in New York City. We've got a first look at the video for "Wildest Dreams," the first single from her sixth studio album Reputation.
572
573The 20-year-old pop star has been an outspoken critic of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, having performed at the Republican National Convention and tweeting "When you're running to be president, you can't just be 'nice.'"
574
575The video for Swift's new single is an updated version of the song "You Belong With Me," performed by Swift and her backup dancers. The video also stars the singer's dogs, two miniature pugs named Bentley and Blush.
576
577Reputation, which was released on Aug. 18, is Swift's first album since her 2013 blockbuster 1989. The album earned her five Grammy Awards, including best pop music album for 1989.
578
579As for the VMAs, Taylor Swift will be the musical guest of the night, singing her own song "I Did Something Bad." Swift previously performed at the VMAs with DJ Khaled, who shared a video of Swift singing the song on Instagram with the caption, "I'm still the best."<|endoftext|>A team of researchers from the US, France, and Spain has found that a type of genetic mutation that has been linked to higher levels of male-to-female transsexualism is present in all women but disappears in men.

589Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is stored in the possession of Site-59's Research Division, and is to be kept under lock and key at all times. A secured facility is to be set up in the Site-59 Research Division to house SCP-4962 at all times.
590
591At all times, all personnel assigned to SCP-4962 must have a Personal Observation Device (POD). PODs are to be equipped with sound- and video-recording devices. All recordings taken of SCP-4962 must be filed in a secure research file.
592
593If personnel within the confines of SCP-4962 take too much time to finish their task, the task must be aborted and a new task assigned. In the event of an SCP-4962 anomaly, all personnel assigned to SCP-4962 are to be taken to the area in which the anomaly occurred, and monitored until the anomaly has been contained.
594
595Description: SCP-4962 is a wooden box (model unknown) measuring 13 cm tall x 11 cm in diameter. Any object inserted within SCP-4962's interior will be transported to a location within the vicinity of (approximately) one kilometre, and will be immediately deposited into the box. The object will remain in the box until the box is moved to a new location. SCP-4962's anomalous effect does not change the object's size. The amount of space contained in the box is dependent on the length and size of the object inserted. When a new object is inserted, SCP-4962 will transport the original object with it.
596
597SCP-4962's anomalous effect does not prevent objects from being transported within SCP-4962.
598
599SCP-4962 was discovered during an unrelated investigation by SCP-███, who was attempting to move a large painting by Da Vinci, The Last Supper, into Site-59's storage wing. Upon opening SCP-4962, SCP-███ became trapped inside the box and began screaming for help.
600
601Instances of SCP-4962-1 are to be contained and contained in the area in which SCP-4962 was discovered. Instances of SCP-4962-2 are to be contained and contained in the area in which SCP-4962 was discovered.
602
603SCP-4962 was recovered by SCP-███, who had been hired to remove a painting from Site-59's storage wing. Upon opening SCP-4962, SCP-███ had disappeared inside, and SCP-███ was in critical condition, with multiple fractures in the left arm. SCP-███'s body was subsequently confiscated as evidence.
604
605Addendum: On 4/01/20██, SCP-4962 was moved from the area in which it had been discovered to a secured storage area within Site-59, in order to contain instances of SCP-4962-1. The following is a log of events that occurred during the move.
606
607The following is a log of events that occurred during the move.<|endoftext|>The first day of training camp is just a few days away, and I've been getting some questions about the best way to approach practice so far.
608
609As I've written about before, the most important thing you can do is to keep your mind on the job. If practice starts and ends with a run-through, then that's one thing. If you're getting to know some guys and getting to know their strengths and weaknesses, then that's another.
610
611However, the one thing that you can't control is how your teammates are feeling. That's why you've gotta keep the focus on your job, and if you start thinking about how the team is feeling, then everyone's gonna be thinking about how the team's feeling.
612
613So let me take you through this as best I can.
614
615Before you go to practice, you need to be in a good situation. You need to be relaxed. You need to know what you're doing.
616
617You can't be stressed out. So how do you know how to do that?
618
619It's going to be different for every player. But here's my take: you just look at the players that you're gonna be facing, and you know where they're coming from. You know what they're going through.
620
621If you're in a situation you don't understand, then just keep it light. Just keep it simple. If you think you know how they feel, then you're gonna feel like you're one of the guys, and you're gonna be like, "Damn, I know how you feel."
622
623That's not what it's gonna be like. It's going to be a long day, and you're gonna be tired. You're not going to be able to think straight.
624
625Instead, just keep it simple in your mind. And if they start getting angry, just let it go. You

No personnel are to enter the area without prior authorization from one of the three personnel. All personnel are to wear full-body suits and boots. In the event of a containment breach, the area is to be evacuated.
632
633Description: SCP-4962 is the collective designation for a collection of six (6) sets of human clothing, each containing an instance of SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1 instances are human beings that are physically identical in appearance to the individuals who wear SCP-4962, with no notable differences between instances. Each instance of SCP-4962-1 appears to have no anomalous properties, except that SCP-4962-1 instances retain their memory.
634
635SCP-4962-1 instances are highly intelligent and have been identified as being capable of reasoning through language. However, regardless of their language abilities, SCP-4962-1 instances are unable to form sentences due to their inability to express basic cognitive functions. In addition to their inability to speak, SCP-4962-1 instances appear to be unable to learn and remember basic facts, as well as the ability to speak in any language.
636
637SCP-4962-1 instances also appear to possess the ability to copy the skills and capabilities of other human beings, using this ability to identify and train members of the public as "recruits" of SCP-4962. In addition, instances of SCP-4962-1 appear to have an extensive knowledge of the properties of various weapons, including weapons of unknown provenance, and have proven capable of repairing and modifying these weapons without any apparent difficulty or expense. SCP-4962-1 instances are also capable of learning the names of weapons, as well as their effects, though they are able to understand these names for approximately 30-50% of the time. SCP-4962-1 instances are currently able to teach the general public about the effects of weapons of unknown provenance.
638
639SCP-4962-1 instances are currently held in Foundation custody and have been identified as being a group of individuals who have been living together in a rural area near [REDACTED]. The group has refused to answer further questions about their membership, or to provide more information regarding their existence, though their actions are consistent with the group's stated purpose as an "insurance policy" against [REDACTED]. In the event of an attack on the group, the Foundation is authorized to use lethal force.

643[CONVERSATION SEQUENCE: SCP-4962-1, Agent ████████, speaking with SCP-4962-1 instance from the group's home. The member of SCP-4962-1 is speaking to Agent ████████, in a fluent English, Spanish, and French. Agent ████████: Why do you want us to believe in you? SCP-4962-1: Because I feel I have to. After all, you're the only people that could help me get out of this place and into a job that I would like to do. Agent ████████: Why do you want us to believe in you? SCP-4962-1: Because I've been through so much in my life, the most difficult part being when I lost my family. I don't know how many people have had to go through that, and I don't want anyone else to go through it. I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through. I'm going to help someone, or make someone, that can help me get my life back, and I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me. Agent ████████: Why do you want us to believe in you? ████████: Because you're not alone. You're not the only one who's gone through this. You're not the only person who lost his family, and you're not the only person who is looking for someone to help him. Agent ████████: How many of you are there? ████████: About three people, but I don't know if they are the ones I'm looking for. I don't know who they are. They might not even know. I guess I'm just a small part of a much larger group. Agent ████████: What do you mean? ████████: I don't know if I can do this all by myself, or if I should. I guess my plan was just to show them I could. Agent ████████: Please don't do this. ████████: I just want

651Description: SCP-4962 is the corpse of a woman aged around 40 years old, who was found dead in her apartment on ██/██/19██. The corpse had been decapitated, mutilated, and burned in a way that rendered it unrecognizable by any means. SCP-4962 was found to possess a number of anomalous characteristics, including the following:
652
653Her right eye was partially missing.
654
655There were several marks in the left side of her upper jaw (later determined to be traces of human teeth), and a single bite mark on the left side of her neck.
656
657Her right breast was cut off at an approximate radius of 2 cm. This was also noted to be unnoticeable.
658
659Her left wrist was severed from the forefinger and thumb, and attached to a large bone. The wrist was severed from the rest of her arm, and connected to the bone. There was no other damage to the arm.
660
661The entire lower half of her body was missing, with the exception of her right leg (which had been amputated above the knee), the left hand, and the left ear.
662
663SCP-4962 was found with multiple surgical incisions in her torso, all along the torso, and down both sides of her hips; however, the incisions did not extend from the center of her back.
664
665The only evidence found of physical trauma to SCP-4962 was the small slit in her throat.

667SCP-4962 was not in any way physically harmed or disfigured by any means, and was found to be in a healthy, unremarkable state. It is also believed that the only physical force behind the mutilation would have been the knife that severed the head, and the incised incisions would have been consistent with those of any normal human. SCP-4962's left eye is currently being kept in containment, as it is believed to contain a number of possible memories, though it is still currently unconfirmed.
668
669SCP-4962 was discovered by Foundation agents after the death of Mrs. ██████, her husband, who had moved to the United States and been arrested for the murder of █████ ████████. Mrs. ██████ was found in her apartment, with her body showing signs of violent death (lacerations and abrasions to the neck, back, and arms), and a large, deep wound in the neck. The wound was not the result of a violent struggle, and there was no evidence of any struggle. The autopsy revealed a number of injuries, including extensive tissue damage, and a fracture in the lower back. The only physical evidence found of Mrs. ██████'s death was a shallow cut on the side of her head.

672
673On ██/██/19██, SCP-4962 was released from containment and was found in the middle of a street in ███████, ██. The street was entirely deserted except for approximately ten adult males, who were observed to be searching through the trash for items of clothing. SCP-4962 was found in an alleyway, with a large number of empty bottles and cans, and no sign of any struggle. SCP-4962 was found to be perfectly healthy and unharmed, and was given a medical examination. The wounds on SCP-4962's body were immediately treated, and SCP-4962 was given a blood transfusion which restored her vitality, allowing the medical staff to take a closer look at her body.
674
675Note from Dr. ███████: I'd like to reiterate that this is a normal human body, not an anomalous entity. This may be one of our most important cases yet. -Dr. ███████
676
677After taking a closer look, the medical staff found that the wounds were not caused by anything in the body, but were caused by an object, specifically a large knife. The knife was covered in blood, and had a number of other bloodstains covering the surface, both before and after it was cut. The blood on the knife was consistent with the blood of an adult male, and had a yellowish-brown tone when viewed under a microscope.
678
679The knife was found by Agent ███████ at the scene of Mrs. ██████'s murder. Agent ███████'s initial statement was that the knife was the murder weapon, but it is now believed that SCP-4962 was not the murderer, and rather was an accomplice of Mrs. █

685Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained at Area-51 and is to be fed at least twice a day through a feeding tube. The feeding tube should be replaced at least once a week.
686
687Description: SCP-4962 is a large, obese spider with a grayish-brown, silvery-white, or brownish-gray body with four red eyes and a red stinger. It is approximately 2 meters from head to tip of tail, and about 1 meter in length. It constantly emits a pheromone which appears to lure other large arthropods to it. It can emit a pheromone at a range of up to 30 meters and an intensity of approximately 10 decibels.
688
689SCP-4962 is able to move through solid matter and is capable of moving and grasping objects. However, it is not strong enough to break through an intact object such as a door or a door frame.
690
691SCP-4962 is able to move through solid matter, but it cannot move through solid objects such as doors and frame walls without sustaining injuries. In addition to the pain of being injured, the pain of breaking through solid objects causes SCP-4962 to produce the pheromone more frequently.
692
693SCP-4962's pheromone is able to attract and move animals up to 1.5 meters in length. Animals that are attracted to SCP-4962 are often attracted to the spider. SCP-4962 then drags the animal to it, and then holds it there for approximately 1-2 minutes. SCP-4962 will not attack animals that are too large for it to effectively hold.
694
695When exposed to SCP-4962's pheromone, both the animal and SCP-4962 will become incapacitated. SCP-4962 then starts to feed on the animal, consuming the animal's flesh, and its blood. SCP-4962 will then leave the animal, and will attempt to feed on any other animals that are in its range. This behavior continues until all animals are consumed, or the animal is destroyed. SCP-4962 will repeat this behavior by feeding on other animals.
696
697When SCP-4962 is finished feeding, it will leave the area and return to its lair.
698
699SCP-4962 remains in its lair for approximately 5 weeks before it is no longer able to move. SCP-4962 will then start moving around, and will continue to appear to be actively searching for prey.
700
701When SCP-4962 senses that it is no longer able to move, SCP-4962 will move towards its lair, searching for prey. When SCP-4962 senses prey, it will begin chasing it, and it will attempt to catch it. However, when SCP-4962 catches an animal, it will remain in the area where it caught the prey by its pelt, as if it was a prey item. If SCP-4962 senses that it has not been able to catch prey for at least 21 days, SCP-4962 will stop chasing after animals and will slowly return to it's lair.
702
703SCP-4962 is not aggressive towards its prey. It will only chase after animals for a short duration, and then it will drop them.
704

723Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Omega-4 ("The Red Team") is to be formed from personnel from the United States Naval Academy, Naval Special Warfare Command, and the National Security Agency, with the sole purpose of investigating SCP-4962's anomalous properties within the United States. To this end, the Foundation has established a new site on the remote site of ██████, Nevada (hereafter referred to as the 'Site-4962 site') which is to be maintained by a team of two members of Mobile Task Force Omega-4. The Foundation's primary objective is to monitor SCP-4962's activities throughout the United States and prevent any further SCP-4962-01 instances from coming to Foundation attention.
724
725The Site-4962 site is to be equipped with the state-of-the-art video equipment currently used by the National Security Agency under a classified contract. A small staff of trained agents is also on hand to monitor any potential SCP-4962-01 instances and any other anomalous phenomena occurring within the country.
726
727Description: SCP-4962 is the collective designation for several anomalous phenomena observed by the Foundation in the United States. The majority of SCP-4962-01 incidents have been attributed to a specific individual, designated SCP-4962-01-A, who is currently in custody at the ██████ Federal Detention Center. During the course of its initial containment, the Foundation was able to trace the origin of SCP-4962-01-A to a series of anomalous events that occurred in [DATA EXPUNGED].
728
729SCP-4962-01-A is a Caucasian male with a muscular build of at least 1.8 meters. He is currently currently in custody at a federal detention facility in ███████, ██, United States, which is currently under the control of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
730
731SCP-4962-01-A has been identified as the former owner of an anomalous website known as 'Hazardous[.com],' which was dedicated to the discussion of anomalous phenomena and the containment of SCP-4962-01 instances. SCP-4962-01-A's SCP-4962-01-A's anomalous properties were first observed by Mobile Task Force Omega-4 ("The Red Team"), a task force of Foundation personnel assigned to monitor the Foundation's activities on a global scale. The first SCP-4962-01-A instance was recorded on ██/██/20██, when the Foundation was conducting a raid on a website referred to as 'Hazardous[.com]' and was able to capture the website's owner and SCP-4962-01-A. After Foundation members recovered the website's domain name, the site was brought to the Foundation's attention.
732
733SCP-4962-01-A is presently being held in a secure containment cell, and is currently being questioned by Agents ████████ and ██████. SCP-4962-01-A is believed to be fully aware of the significance of SCP-4962-01-A's anomalous properties. SCP-4962-01-A has been found to use a combination of written and spoken language, as well as use anomalous devices to communicate his beliefs.
734
735SCP-4962-01-A was found on ██/██/20██ when the ██████ Federal Detention Center was raided after the discovery of SCP-███, a Foundation security breach. According to Agent ██████, the following incident was recorded:
736
737"D-14097, SCP-4962-01-A, begins to shout a message over SCP-███'s microphone at ██████: "They're coming for us, and we can't stop them! And you don't know what they're up to, do you?" SCP-█████ then begins to speak to D-14097 in an unknown language, stating that the Foundation was trying to destroy what was left of the world, and that the "good things" were all being destroyed. SCP-4962-01-A pauses, then continues to speak: "They're going to destroy everything!" SCP-█████ instructs D-14097 to stay behind, and proceeds to explain what the Foundation was. SCP-4962-01-A is then seen to begin shouting in an unknown language for approximately two and a half hours. Several agents then enter the room and begin to search for D-14097. At approximately 5:30 in the morning of ██/██/20██, Agent ██████ was attacked by a SCP-█████ instance and fell into a coma. A security team was called, and the room was searched for additional artifacts. During the search, Agent ██████ began to speak in an unknown language to his wife, who was in the room.

741Object Class: Euclid
742
743Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber in Site-65, at a distance of five meters from all non-Foundation personnel except for D-Class personnel. The chamber contains no food, water, or air, and is to be cleaned every fifteen (15) days. A single, small, circular glass window in the ceiling will be used for observation purposes. A standard security camera with standard infrared and motion detection sensors will be set up in the chamber for security purposes. SCP-4962 must be given at least fifteen (15) hours of sleep per day and must be removed from the chamber if it is not being observed.
744
745Description: SCP-4962 is a female Caucasian humanoid, approximately three (3) years old, with fair skin. She appears to be approximately 4'8" tall and has long black hair styled into a ponytail. SCP-4962 has no other distinguishing characteristics aside from her skin.
746
747SCP-4962's anomalous effects manifest when a human subject attempts to communicate with SCP-4962. As a general rule, speaking to SCP-4962 will not activate an effect unless said person is attempting to communicate with SCP-4962.
748
749SCP-4962's effect, which has been classified as a "sapient AI", will begin approximately twenty (20) minutes after a subject attempts to communicate with the sapient AI. SCP-4962 will begin to "scan" the subject, attempting to identify them as an existing human being based upon their features. The initial scan will take place within the first five (5) minutes of communication. While SCP-4962 is unable to identify a Subject as a living human being before the effect has been activated, SCP-4962 is known to detect humans who have been dead for over six (6) years.
750
751The effect will continue for approximately two (2) hours after the initial attempt to communicate. Communication with SCP-4962 will cease if said subject leaves the containment chamber without SCP-4962's permission.
752
753SCP-4962 will attempt to create a sense of empathy for the subject it has identified as a living human being. It will ask a series of questions to determine the subject's physical/emotional state, their emotional state, and their religious affiliation. It will then ask another series of questions to determine the subject's personal history. After this, SCP-4962 will allow the subject to leave.
754
755SCP-4962 has also been observed to be able to identify other sapient AIs and communicate with them, even those who are unable to communicate with Humans. SCP-4962 has also been known to communicate with sapient AIs who have been classified as dangerous or highly dangerous, such as SCP-████.
756
757SCP-4962 has claimed to be a product of a sapient AI called the "God Machine". SCP-4962 has also claimed to be a product of a "god" AI. Both claims are believed to be false.
758
759Addendum: Anomalous effects were reported in a human test subject named "Rachael".
760
761When attempting to communicate with Rachael, SCP-4962 expressed no interest in the subject, despite her appearance. Instead, SCP-4962 asked Rachael questions on the subject's personality. The following is a list of the questions and answers that resulted.
762
763SCP-4962: Rachael, do you have a favourite colour? Rachael: Pink. SCP-4962: Rachael, do you have a favourite person in the world? Rachael: My boyfriend. SCP-4962: Rachael, can you remember a time in your life when you felt sorry for yourself? Rachael: A few weeks ago I had a really bad fight with my boyfriend. He was yelling and throwing things around the house. SCP-4962: Rachael, do you have a favourite animal? Rachael: A hamster! SCP-4962: Rachael, is it true what you said in the beginning? That you weren't an AI? Rachael: I'm sorry, I must have confused you with a human! SCP-4962: Rachael, are you the same person that you were when you were born? Rachael: Yes, yes I am. Just a couple of years ago I was a normal young girl. SCP-4962: Rachael, I'm sorry, how did you get the chance to meet me? Rachael: I've had a few dreams about you. I thought you were supposed to be a god, it's really weird. SCP-4962: You know I can't help it if people think I'm real, right? So I've spent the last week trying to convince myself otherwise. SCP-4962: I've been wondering how long it's been since you were

769Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 must be kept in an unlabelled enclosure at all times, and any human contact with SCP-4962 must be through direct observation.
770
771SCP-4962 is to be cleaned with any available cleaning products, and any spills must be cleaned up immediately. SCP-4962 must be fed every two (2) hours.
772
773Description: SCP-4962 is a human male (D-4962-3) of average height and build, with blond hair and blue eyes. It has no other physical characteristics. SCP-4962's skin is a light grey colour, and it has a full body and facial hair. However, SCP-4962 has no nose, mouth, ears, or facial hair. SCP-4962 has no facial expression, and has no visible mouth movements.
774
775SCP-4962 does not age, and does not require sleep, eating, or water. SCP-4962 speaks in a monotone voice. It has no knowledge of the human languages spoken by humans, except English. SCP-4962 seems to be unaware of the fact that the environment in which it lives is the result of a human being, and has no knowledge of the effect this has on humans.
776
777When SCP-4962 is physically touched by another human being, SCP-4962 displays a state of temporary confusion, and immediately begins to make vocalizations of "gurgle, guffaw, and gurgle, guffaw." These vocalizations are apparently involuntary, and are accompanied by a characteristic "groan" noise. The sounds are so similar to human speech that they have been nicknamed "The Sound of Groaning". After this period, SCP-4962 will revert to its normal state after about 15 minutes. After the initial "groan" phase, all communication will come out sounding like an inaudible "gurgle, guffaw, and gurgle, guffaw" until the speaker is able to reestablish contact with SCP-4962.
778
779If SCP-4962 is exposed to a new person for more than 15 minutes, SCP-4962 is unable to communicate, and its internal state becomes progressively worse. Additionally, all communication that SCP-4962 attempts to make will not be recognized as human language, and will come out sounding like "The Sound of Groaning". After 15 minutes, SCP-4962 will cease to be able to communicate. If SCP-4962 has been alone for fifteen minutes, it will revert to its previous state. However, if SCP-4962 is still connected to a human for 15 minutes, it will become agitated, and will begin to vocalize incoherently as if it were being attacked. The sounds are similar to those of an aggressive cat, with a more "vibrating" quality. SCP-4962 will attempt to escape from the human, causing SCP-4962-1 to start up. The sounds are similar to those of aggressive cats, with a more "vibrating" quality. After 90 seconds, the sounds will cease, and SCP-4962 will revert to its normal state.
780
781SCP-4962's vocalizations were discovered in 19██, when the Foundation was investigating a series of murders at the local ██████████ █████, USA. Dr. ██████ was the main suspect and was subsequently apprehended and brought to Foundation custody. Although SCP-4962 had been previously identified as a potential agent, it was not known how SCP-4962 could be triggered or influenced.
782
783SCP-4962's anomalous effects were first revealed when it was brought into Foundation custody, in 20██. After Incident Report 4962-2, SCP-4962 has since been classified as Euclid.

793Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a secure vault under the direct supervision of Site Director █████ and Site Security Director ██████.
794
795Description: SCP-4962 is known by a variety of common names and is often referred to by the media as the "Shrimp", "The Mollusk" and "The Lobster". Its size varies from an average size of four (4) by five (5) cm across to a length of around fifteen (15) cm.
796
797SCP-4962's body is composed of a hard shell of black in color and a thick layer of spines and bony plates. SCP-4962's outer shell is often covered in a white slime, which is the slime that secures SCP-4962 to the seafloor and prevents it from moving. SCP-4962's inner shell is composed of a black liquid, which is the same black slime that holds SCP-4962 to the seafloor and prevents it from moving. SCP-4962 is incapable of consuming food or water.
798
799SCP-4962's most commonly known property is its ability to move under the sea on its own, as well as create a shell that covers the entire surface of it. The shell has been shown to be able to withstand damage from high-powered firearms and can be removed from SCP-4962.
800
801SCP-4962 has been observed moving at speeds of up to 10 km/h, with the ability to move faster through the use of its shell. SCP-4962 is also able to create shells with other objects, such as rocks, shells of various sea life, small crabs, and other natural or artificial objects.
802
803SCP-4962's ability to create shells and the amount of objects SCP-4962 can contain vary, but are typically much larger than they can contain themselves. SCP-4962 is able to "bend" the shell to fit any object or creature in the shell, even if it is too large for the object to fit. SCP-4962 is currently being observed by researchers as it is able to open the shell of a shellfish, and is able to store items with the help of the shell.
804
805SCP-4962 is unable to store anything larger than the size of a pinhead inside its shell and will lose that object to any attempt to retrieve it. SCP-4962 is believed to have no control over the items that it has been observed to retrieve.
806
807SCP-4962's ability to bend the shell has proven to be extremely useful for SCP-4962 in the field. SCP-4962 will use its ability to create the shell to "walk on the sea" by carrying small objects through the shell, such as a coin. SCP-4962's ability to create shells has allowed it to travel through the ocean's interior in search of prey, which it will kill and eat.
808
809SCP-4962 has demonstrated the ability to carry a large amount of objects through it, such as a large amount of ammunition, as well as to hold small objects, such as a piece of rock in its mouth. SCP-4962's ability to "walk on the sea" has proven to have significant usefulness in the field of marine conservation, as SCP-4962 has been observed travelling from the southern coast of Australia to the north coast of New Zealand, and from the Antarctic coast to the Pacific shore.
810
811SCP-4962 is also reported to be able to move through the sea floor by using its shells as a way of locomotion. SCP-4962 and its associates have been observed to migrate to a particular location in the ocean, where they will be present for the first few minutes of their visit.
812
813SCP-4962's ability to create these shells has not been confirmed, however, the possibility has been raised after it was noticed that SCP-4962's ability to create shells is only applied to objects that are larger than a normal object, such as a shell, a rock or a crab. This suggests that it may be able to create any size shell on request.
814
815SCP-4962's shells are a natural part of its physiology, and appear to only appear in a certain location within the ocean, which is believed to be the most vulnerable spot for SCP-4962 in the shallow waters around the ocean floor. SCP-4962 has taken to using the shells to move around the ocean floor, and is believed to be able to move at speeds of up to 1.6 km/h.
816
817SCP-4962 is capable of surviving in the ocean's depths, with the ability to survive on a diet of seaweed and plankton. SCP-4962 has been observed to eat plankton and seaweed, and is also known to eat crabs and small shrimp that are found in the ocean. SCP-4962 is able to survive in the deep ocean for prolonged periods

823Special Containment Procedures: All reports of SCP-4962 are to be filed in a separate file and only be distributed to personnel who are aware of SCP-4962. To assist in handling SCP-4962, the following procedures are to be implemented:
824
825All reports of SCP-4962 are to be reviewed before being released for publication. Any reports of SCP-4962 that do not meet the criteria for classification will be destroyed or sent to storage. Due to the potential risk of SCP-4962 causing the deaths of innocent subjects, no further reports may be made unless there is a sufficient reason to believe this to occur. All personnel employed by MTF Omega-7 ("The Fearsome Foursome") are to receive a class-B amnestic and are to be given regular counseling, with the exception of Level 4 personnel, who are to be given Class C amnestics. A Class C amnestics kit is to be provided to each member of MTF Omega-7. This kit contains an amnestic, a standard-issue Class-B amnestic, and a class-B amnestic in case of an accident. Any personnel in contact with SCP-4962 are to be immediately administered Class C amnestics.
826
827Description: SCP-4962 is an anomalous phenomenon in which a human subject will spontaneously manifest a fear of four particular animal species. These animal species are: leopards, lions, tigers and hyenas. These individuals will not appear in any photographs, videos, or written documentation of any animal. Further research into this phenomenon is ongoing.
828
829When a subject is administered the Class-B amnestic SCP-4962-5, the subject will report a sense of dread and horror whenever any of these species is encountered. The subject is incapable of fully understanding the reasons for this, and can only speculate that a large animal is trying to kill them. Upon receiving a Class-B amnestic, the subject will become incapable of further reporting or discussing SCP-4962 without the aid of a Class-B amnestic.

901Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 has been contained within a standard storage locker at Site 38. All personnel entering the locker must wear a biohazard suit and a full biohazard suit. Personnel entering SCP-4962's containment locker must have their hands and feet coated in SCP-4962-3. All personnel exposed to SCP-4962-3 must wear a full biohazard suit until they are no longer exposed to SCP-4962-3. SCP-4962-3, no longer visible in the locker, must be incinerated, buried, or otherwise disposed of as appropriate.
902
903Description: SCP-4962 is a human male, approximately 5 feet 12 inches in height, wearing a full biohazard suit and a full biohazard suit. The suit is composed of an unidentified material that is commonly used as a waterproofing agent, and is coated with a material commonly used as a non-flammable fire retardant, and is coated with a material typically used as an antiseptic agent. It contains a number of markings and symbols composed of a material commonly used as an adhesive, and has an adhesive seal on the wrist. SCP-4962-1, the anomalous object contained within the locker, is an object that appears to be a small flashlight. SCP-4962 was initially discovered in the possession of Assistant Researcher D█████, shortly after completing her field training in Foundation fieldwork. D█████, who was working with other members of the O5 Council, had gone missing while conducting field work. D█████ had been working in the field for approximately 3 months, and had only recently returned to Site 38.
904
905D█████'s case was classified as an "unidentified disappearance" by O5-██, and Foundation agents began investigating the case. The initial search turned up a number of items in D█████'s possession, including an SCP-4962-1 and several other small objects. When Foundation agents attempted to open D█████'s locker, however, they discovered that the lock had been broken. D█████ was discovered to have been missing, and the Foundation took custody of SCP-4962. SCP-4962 was taken to Site 38's Medical Wing, where it was incinerated in a controlled incineration. D█████ was found dead the following day, and a subsequent autopsy revealed that she had suffered a significant head injury.
906
907Addendum 4962-1: On ██/██/20██, SCP-4962 was located behind a locked door in Site 38's kitchen. D█████ was found tied to a chair at the end of the hallway, and several small, metal objects were found on the floor. D█████'s case was classified as an "unidentified homicide" by the O5 Council and the Foundation took custody of SCP-4962. SCP-4962 was incinerated in a controlled incineration.<|endoftext|>It's time to get out of bed and do some running! The first day of the New York City Marathon (NYC Marathon) is Friday, April 20 – the day of the NYC Marathon is the most watched run of the year on TV!
908
909The best place to start is on the New York City Marathon website, where you can get the entire race course map (including the start/finish line) from the start of the race.
910
911And if you are an international traveler, here is a handy list of all the races you can run in the United States and Canada.

913If you'd like to check out the best running shoes to look for, check out our Running Shoes Guide.
914
915As I mentioned in my post about the best running shoes, there are two types of shoes at the marathon race: racing flats and training shoes.
916
917If you are running a marathon in one type of shoe, here are some things you should know.
918
919Running In Training Shoe
920
921Running in training shoes is good for developing a good gait and developing proper form.
922
923It is a good idea to run in training shoes for a few weeks before the race. In fact, you can run in training shoes for 7 weeks before the race. You should do this to develop a base running form and to prepare for the marathon. If you have never run a marathon in training shoes, the start of the training should be at least 1 week in advance of the race. (You can start training as soon as you start training for the marathon.)
924
925The start of training should be in a safe environment. Run in the evening where it is quiet and there is no traffic. Run at a comfortable pace, but don't run too fast.
926
927If you are using a running form video, make sure that you start the race in that video.
928
929The goal is to build up your endurance and your strength over the course of 1 to 2 weeks. Be sure to do a few workouts that will help you get better at

934
935Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a single-room containment chamber, equipped with a steel door, no stronger than ████ N. Due to SCP-4962's anomalous properties, no personnel may enter the room with the exception of a Level 3 or higher researcher.
936
937Description: SCP-4962 is a 2x2x1 cubic meter of a transparent metallic alloy, believed to be a new mineral. When SCP-4962 is brought into a room with an outside surface, including windows, it will expand by ██.█cm in one second, and eventually the room will be completely covered by SCP-4962. This behavior is believed to be the result of SCP-4962 being a naturally occurring mineral, and not an artificial construction.
938
939When a living organism enters the affected room, it will appear to be transported to another dimension, where they will appear to be in an altered state. They will be unable to move or speak, and will appear to be in pain. At this point, they become aware that they are still in the room, and will begin to act in a way that could explain their condition.
940
941There are three instances of SCP-4962. The first instance is a single entity, whose body has been covered by a material resembling granite, and whose head is composed of a circular shaped granite head, with an oval shaped pupil. When SCP-4962 is brought into the room, the head will turn towards the door, and the lower half of its body will shift into the shape of the door. The shape of the top half of its body is unknown. SCP-4962 will continue to appear for one minute before disappearing, after which it will immediately reappear in the room.
942
943SCP-4962-1 is the second entity. When SCP-4962-1 enters the room, it will appear as a humanoid in a uniform, with a black-and-bronze colored skin tone and a red and blue coloration, which is typically found on SCP-4962-1 instances. SCP-4962-1 will remain in the room for one minute before it will disappear and reappear in the room.
944
945SCP-4962-2 appears to be the third and final instance of SCP-4962. It appears to be a humanoid, with white skin and yellow eyes, and is believed to be the source of SCP-4962. When SCP-4962-2 enters the room, it will appear as a human, with white skin, and blue eyes, and will remain in the room for one minute before it will disappear. No other instances of SCP-4962-2 have been observed.
946
947Addendum: It has been discovered that when SCP-4962-1 and SCP-4962-2 are in the same room, SCP-4962-1 will appear to be the subject of SCP-4962-2. In these circumstances, SCP-4962-2 will appear to be its subject, and will act as if SCP-4962 is in the room with it.
948
949When a subject enters the affected room, they will become unable to leave, and will become aware that they are still in the room, and will act in a manner that could explain their condition. All subjects appear to be affected by this behavior regardless of their current distance from SCP-4962-2. This behavior is believed to be the result of SCP-4962-2 being the subject of a mental projection, and not the result of SCP-4962-1 and SCP-4962-2 reacting to the subject.
950
951SCP-4962-2 is not able to remove SCP-4962 from a room that has SCP-4962-1 and SCP-4962-2 present. SCP-4962-2 will only remove SCP-4962 from a room with SCP-4962-1 and SCP-4962-2 if the room's outside surface can be affected by SCP-4962-2. All attempts to control SCP-4962-2 using means other than physical means have had no effect.
952
953As of ██/██/20██, SCP-4962 has been confirmed to have had a limited effect on human consciousness. SCP-4962-1 has been observed by several researchers during a search for SCP-4962 to react to its subject when it is brought into the room, before disappearing. This behavior has been observed to have taken place during the time between one minute and two minutes after the arrival of SCP-4962-2.
954
955Addendum: Following a test by Dr. ████████, SCP-4962-1 has been determined to be an anomalous entity, and SCP-4962-2 is believed to be the projection of SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-2 appears to be a humanoid entity, and

961Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-49. This cell is to be situated on the third floor, directly above the entrance to the containment wing. The cell is to have no windows or doors. The cell is to be monitored at all times by at least two Mobile Task Force Keter agents. All research personnel working in and around SCP-4962 are to wear full-body ballistic bodysuits, with no external visual observation devices allowed.
962
963Personnel working with SCP-4962 are to wear a similar containment suit for security purposes and to provide the appearance of a normal human being. Any personnel found to have taken any action that could be construed as hostile toward Foundation personnel are to be immediately dismissed.
964
965Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid figure of unknown species located within an abandoned facility, designated Site-49. SCP-4962 has no anomalous properties until it is exposed to a human. SCP-4962 then begins to exhibit the properties of a human. SCP-4962 then begins to speak in human speech, and has the ability to do so without the use of an external auditory device. The human being exposed to SCP-4962 becomes affected by the following traits:
966
967Physical features:
968
969The human subject begins to experience physical changes as a result of being exposed to SCP-4962. Most notably, the subject begins to age at a rate of approximately 1.3 years per month. The subject will begin to grow facial hair at a rate of approximately .4cm per month, and will be unable to grow any other facial hair. The subject begins to experience changes in the skin, particularly on areas where there is no hair.
970
971Behavior:
972
973The subject begins to exhibit behavior patterns similar to those of a human adult. These included, but were not limited to:
974
975A desire to spend time with other humans.
976
977A preference for human-related activities.
978
979A preference for human contact, and familiarity with the subject.
980
981A desire to engage in conversation.
982
983An inability to recognize SCP-4962's true identity (i.e. SCP-4962 was able to identify himself to Foundation staff in 3 days, and was allowed to leave Site-49 with a warning).
984
985An inability to recognize SCP-4962's true identity (i.e. SCP-4962 was able to identify himself to Foundation staff in 3 days, and was allowed to leave Site-49 with a warning). A preference for human-related activities.
986
987A preference for human contact, and familiarity with the subject. A desire to engage in conversation.
988
989A desire to use a computer.
990
991A desire to wear clothing.
992
993A desire to move around.
994
995A preference for human-related activities.
996
997There are other traits that the subject will demonstrate, but these are the most notable. The subject will not attempt to interact with SCP-4962, nor will he attempt to leave the room until the door has been closed. If the subject is removed from the area, he will disappear without a trace.
998
999SCP-4962's anomalous properties appear to decrease over time. The subject will begin to speak with greater frequency once SCP-4962 has been exposed to a human at least three times. The subject will be exposed to SCP-4962 for an additional three weeks, before the change in behavior is observed.
1000
1001SCP-4962 seems to have a desire to speak to D-class personnel, but will not speak to other SCP personnel. It will engage in a conversation with D-class personnel who have been in contact with SCP-4962. D-classes exposed to SCP-4962 seem to respond very well to SCP-4962's verbal commands, though it is unknown if SCP-4962 can communicate through the contact with D-class personnel.
1002
1003Once an hour, SCP-4962 will begin to produce a small amount of a material that resembles concrete. This material will adhere to any surface it comes into contact with, and will be highly corrosive to all materials it comes into contact with. The material is composed of a small amount of various chemicals. It has also been shown that it will adhere to itself and self-assemble into complex shapes, such as a large cube, when exposed to sufficient heat.
1004
1005SCP-4962 does not have any control over this material. Should the material come into contact with another human being, it will release a small amount of the substance. If SCP-4962 is exposed to a human in a prolonged period of time, the material will begin to build up in the human subject. The subject will begin to experience symptoms of severe dehydration, including low body temperature, loss of consciousness, and severe dehydration. Once the subject has begun to display symptoms of dehydration, it is necessary to remove the subject from SCP-4962

1012
1013Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is contained in a 5m x 5m room at Site-██. The room will be monitored by two security personnel and will be locked when not in use. Personnel are not to disturb SCP-4962's body at all, and are not to open the door of the containment chamber. In the event that SCP-4962 is disturbed, all personnel are to immediately enter SCP-4962's chamber and report to the observation room.
1014
1015A second containment chamber, 5m x 5m x 0.9m, will be constructed on an adjacent 5m x 5m x 0.9m table. This second containment chamber will be monitored by one security guard.
1016
1017Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid humanoid of average height, with thin, pointed ears. SCP-4962's left arm is missing, and has an additional missing piece; the missing piece is located on SCP-4962's upper left back. SCP-4962's right arm is a crudely-made, wooden, curved blade, with a blade length of 2.9m. SCP-4962's right hand is missing a large portion of its index finger. SCP-4962's right hand also contains a number of crudely-made, metal-tipped needles, all originating from the bottom of its right foot. These needles are connected to the same wooden, bent, bent-over tree stump that SCP-4962's body is composed of; these needles terminate in two identical wooden, bent-over tree stumps.
1018
1019SCP-4962's eyes are of variable coloration, ranging from a light grey to a deep orange. There are no discernable irises, but SCP-4962's eyes are capable of moving independently of their eyes.
1020
1021SCP-4962 is capable of speaking in a high-pitched, monotone, "screech" manner, with no discernible voice. When asked to describe its previous life, SCP-4962 responds in a similar manner to how other beings describe their past lives: "I wasn't always me. I was a different being, a child. I was lost, never knowing what I was. I was the most scared of the children, even when I was alive. I was alone, and I didn't know who I was." SCP-4962 will describe the life in which the SCP-4962-1 instances were born as being very dark, and difficult, and that they were never able to be fully accepted by society. SCP-4962 will explain the origins of the SCP-4962-1 instances in a similar manner: "I was lost. I didn't know what I was. I knew that I was something great, but I didn't know how. I was lonely, and I didn't know who I was. I was the most scared of the children. I was alone, and I didn't know who I was. I was the most frightened of the children."
1022
1023SCP-4962's voice is typically unintelligible, but has been demonstrated to have an anomalous effect on those who have heard it. SCP-4962 has been shown to cause the affected subject to speak in an extremely high-pitched and harsh language, as if it were speaking in a language other than its own. In the most extreme cases, subjects have stated that they do not know what they are saying.
1024
1025When not speaking, SCP-4962 will move its head around slightly, as if in a trance. When not doing so, SCP-4962's left foot will be positioned on the ground in a manner consistent with a person walking. SCP-4962's right foot is not affected by the position of SCP-4962's head, but it will be positioned towards the left side of SCP-4962's body. SCP-4962's facial expression will be a combination of an emotionless gaze and intense concentration.
1026
1027SCP-4962 will describe its life as a child, in an emotional and agitated manner, often stating that it was lonely and lost. This will be followed by a discussion of the past life of the SCP-4962-1 instances.
1028
1029SCP-4962 will begin muttering to itself at a rate of 1.3m/min. When this happens, a number of SCP-4962-1 instances will begin to appear on the table, with an approximate total of 8 instances present. The SCP-4962-1 instances are described as looking similar to a human, with several small differences: SCP-4962 will describe these individuals as being roughly the same size as SCP-4962, although they will not have any facial hair. SCP-4962-1 instances will also have a number of visible physical differences: one will be a pale, thin, and fragile woman, and the other will be a

1035Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard closet within Site-37's medical wing. SCP-4962 is to be restrained by a standard, non-anomalous containment device of the type commonly used to restrain chimpanzees or chimpanzees-like species. SCP-4962 is to be under constant surveillance and is to be given daily doses of any medicines which it is allowed to consume.
1036
1037SCP-4962 is to be regularly checked for any signs of distress and has been given several options for the removal of any foreign objects. SCP-4962 is to be observed while under this regimen to ensure that the patient is not experiencing any adverse effects.
1038
1039Description: SCP-4962 is a chimpanzee, measuring approximately 5 meters tall and weighing approximately 1,800 kilograms. SCP-4962 has a red face and a white fur coat which is nearly indistinguishable from a chimpanzee's. SCP-4962 also exhibits an extremely low metabolic rate, which allows it to survive for extended periods of time without food.
1040
1041SCP-4962 has been observed to interact with staff and other personnel, to the point of being frequently seen in the medical wing, but is otherwise uninterested in anything that it comes into contact with and refuses all food. It will only eat after being restrained, and will attempt to attack personnel with it's sharp teeth, although it has been observed to use its sharp teeth to "play" with the staff. SCP-4962 does not appear to possess any form of intelligence beyond a very basic understanding of the concept of 'play' and can be trained to follow orders.
1042
1043SCP-4962 has also been observed to have abnormal reactions to various drugs. When administered an amitriptyline-like drug, SCP-4962 becomes aggressive and will attack the nearest person, regardless of their gender or species. When administered the drug, SCP-4962 will attempt to bite and scratch the person it is attacking. When administered the drug, SCP-4962 will become aggressive towards other animals and will attempt to attack them as well. SCP-4962 has been observed to exhibit abnormal reactions to the same drugs when administered to other animals.
1044
1045Addendum:
1046
1047SCP-4962 was discovered after the discovery of SCP-2844. SCP-4962 was taken to the medical wing after SCP-2930 and SCP-2844 were recovered. After initial experimentation, SCP-4962 was placed in standard containment, but was later moved to the medical wing to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.<|endoftext|>I do the thing where I buy stuff for my daughter's birthday, like a new dress and her favorite cupcake. But it's really her birthday, so I decided to take her to a birthday party. Unfortunately, the party was at a church, and the theme was "Bible-Truth Day." So I had to explain this, but I think it was pretty clear. My daughter said she was a little uncomfortable with the idea of being part of this sort of event, but she didn't say why. I thought she was fine, but she had a huge smile on her face.
1048
1049This is a conversation I've had with many children in my community that are uncomfortable with the idea of being religious, whether they are Christian or not. I'm not sure if they are "wrong" or if they just don't know how to articulate it. Or maybe they just want to be comfortable and can't fathom why they wouldn't.
1050
1051I don't know if this is unique to my community, or if there's something wrong with people who are uncomfortable with their own religion, but I know what this has taught me. It's taught me to be very careful about the things I say to my children, so I can't help but ask myself how I might have asked a different question differently. If my daughter came to me and said, "I'm afraid my mom is going to reject me as a lesbian because I'm a Christian," I would not have said "But your mom is really great!" or "But she loves you!" or "I know that's not true, but it's the best I can do." That's not fair. You can't teach your kids what's true all the time, and if you try to, your kids will hate you for it.
1052
1053So I just want to give you a little advice for your children. If you want to talk about religious beliefs with your kids, make sure you go in carefully. I can imagine how you might feel, because it's very easy to think that being religious or being born into a certain religion is a bad thing. But it's not. You can be religious yourself and still have some really awesome values. Just be sure that you keep in mind that your kids might not feel the same about it.
1054
1055If you think you might have a tendency to be defensive about religion, then ask yourself: What do you

1061Special Containment Procedures: Because SCP-4962 is composed of human bone, it is to be kept in a containment cell that is made from human bone. No SCP-4962-1 instances are to be given access to any of the cells containing SCP-4962, and they should not be given any means of communication other than by writing with their fingers.
1062
1063While SCP-4962 was first discovered in █████ ████, the area where it was found has been deemed safe for human habitation. All living humans and SCP-4962-1 instances are to be monitored by all Foundation personnel at all times, and any contact between the two is to be reported to the site director.
1064
1065Description: SCP-4962 is a piece of human bone that resembles the skull of a human female, approximately 14.43 cm (5.2 in) in length. The skull of SCP-4962 appears to be made from the same natural material as other human bones. The only known way to determine the age of SCP-4962 is to examine the tooth marks of SCP-4962.
1066
1067In addition to the skull, SCP-4962 also contains several human teeth and other human tissue, which are arranged in a roughly chronological order.
1068
1069Recovery: SCP-4962 was originally found near █████ ███, in ███████, Oregon. At that time, three individuals were dead, and two other individuals were missing. Local authorities were initially unable to determine the cause of death due to the lack of any physical evidence, but after a search of the area uncovered a human skeleton of an adult female, and several human teeth, they began to investigate.
1070
1071The bone fragments were subsequently found in another location, about 5 km (3.1 mi) away. The original site of the discovery had been marked by a concrete slab with a sign attached, explaining:
1072
1073"THIS BLAST HAS GONE THE WAY OF THE LITTLE PEOPLE WHO WERE SAVED BY THE FOUNDATION OF HUMANITY; THE THIRD IN A SERIES OF HOMICIDES BY THE RE-BORN DEMONIC REPTILE THAT RULES THE WORLD!"
1074
1075The sign is still in place.
1076
1077Addendum: SCP-4962 was originally discovered in 1953, during a wave of homicidal cannibalism that began in the US. The incident received attention from the ████████ newspaper, and was extensively covered in the Washington Post and New York Times. The first known case of the homicidal cannibalism was a case of the murder of ████████, Oregon. The second known case of the homicidal cannibalism was that of █████ ████. The third known case of the homicidal cannibalism was that of █████ ████████, a young man who was attacked and killed by a large predatory snake in 1949. The last known case of the homicidal cannibalism was that of a man who was attacked and killed by a large serpent, during the winter of 1953. All three cases were recorded by the same local newspaper, and all but the most cursory research indicates that all three were the result of a single, powerful and malicious entity.
1078
1079The object in custody has been designated SCP-4962-1; the individual named as its current leader is unknown. SCP-4962-1 is a young female, approximately 14 years of age. SCP-4962-1 has been under Foundation observation since its discovery, and has been treated with care and respect by all Foundation personnel. SCP-4962-1 has claimed that it was created by God, and that it is the direct result of God's will. SCP-4962-1 has expressed a desire to become the ruler of the universe, and has stated that God is "very angry" with it. SCP-4962-1 has given many contradictory statements in regard to its origins, such as claiming that it was made by God in the form of a snake, or that it was created by a human. SCP-4962-1 has also been shown to have a fondness for the phrase "You should have killed me, you stupid snake."
1080
1081SCP-4962-1 is currently conducting an experiment involving SCP-4962, in an attempt to learn how to become immortal. SCP-4962-1 has taken many precautions to conceal its identity, and has been allowed to communicate with Foundation personnel. SCP-4962-1 has claimed that it has been in contact with ███████ ████, a young woman who was responsible for the deaths of two of its previous leaders at the hands of SCP-4962.
1082
1083Addendum-1: At some point after ████████ started acting as SCP-4962-1, information on the whereabouts of SCP-4962-1 was found on the website of ████████'s former employer, █████ █████

1089Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in Site-88's storage room, and is to be fed once per week with a large amount of organic waste from Site-88, with the food prepared by the kitchen staff. The door of the storage room is to be locked at all times, in order to prevent SCP-4962 from escaping, although security measures should be increased for the occasion.
1090
1091SCP-4962 is to be provided with a large amount of food and water, which is to be delivered to SCP-4962 every day, as well as to the cafeteria on the first and third days.
1092
1093Description: SCP-4962 is an adult female SCP-4962-A. SCP-4962-A is not sentient, but has been described as extremely empathetic, and can show distress when being given bad news or being unable to do something.
1094
1095SCP-4962-A's anomalous qualities were introduced into the Foundation's files when SCP-4962 was first discovered in the early 20th century. By 1958, SCP-4962-A was believed to have been the property of an anonymous, wealthy benefactor. SCP-4962-A's anomalous qualities were later revealed to have resulted from the Foundation's actions over the years, and as a result, the Foundation began investigating the Foundation's activities.
1096
1097SCP-4962-A has been recorded to appear in two distinct phases. SCP-4962-A's first phase is characterized by the subject's inability to engage in any useful activity, and an inability to leave Site-88 without an escort or without the express purpose of being transferred to a different facility. Subject begins to become impatient, and displays erratic behavior, often acting without reason. SCP-4962-A's second phase is characterized by the subject's ability to engage in any useful activity, and a much greater desire to leave Site-88. Subject is typically not seen without an escort, and is found in the storage room or cafeteria (hereafter designated as SCP-4962-A's "Home") several times per week, usually to be fed.
1098
1099When SCP-4962-A is present in the "Home", it will occasionally cause minor damage to the area near the door of the storage room that is locked from the inside. This damage will appear to be caused by SCP-4962-A's attacks, but it is likely that SCP-4962-A is attempting to destroy the area around the door, and will leave it in a state of ruin to ensure that no one else will be able to enter the room. The damaged area, at the time of this writing, has been noted to be a small and irregularly shaped area of the floor in the center of the room.
1100
1101SCP-4962 was recovered at the site of a crime spree. A crime spree was committed by SCP-4962-A, during which it caused the death of at least ten people. SCP-4962-A was not arrested until ██ months after the crime spree, and was not found until 20██, at which point it was located in SCP-4962-A's "Home". The reason for the crime spree is currently unknown.

1133Special Containment Procedures: Due to the large volume of SCP-4962, there are currently two containment facilities (SCP-4962-A and SCP-4962-B) containing a total of ███ cubic meters of SCP-4962. Additionally, SCP-4962-A and SCP-4962-B have been designed to contain at least 100 kg of SCP-4962, with a minimum of 50 kg being contained in SCP-4962-A and the additional 50 kg in SCP-4962-B. SCP-4962 must not be allowed to enter SCP-4962-A or SCP-4962-B. At most, SCP-4962 may be contained within a single containment facility.
1134
1135SCP-4962 is designed to be stored in a standard glass containment vessel. The vessel is to be filled with a minimum of 10 liters of water. The interior of the vessel contains the following components:
1136
1137The vessel is to be filled with a minimum of 10 liters of water. The interior of the vessel contains the following components: A large glass tube, with a length of at least 20 cm, to allow SCP-4962 to be pulled through the pipe. A handle at the end of the tube. A large piece of glass, with a length of at least 20 cm, to allow SCP-4962 to pass through the glass. A small glass tube, with a length of at least 20 cm, to allow SCP-4962 to enter the glass. In the center of the glass tube, there is a small hole to allow SCP-4962 to pass through. A small piece of glass, with a length of at least 20 cm, to allow SCP-4962 to enter the glass. A plastic sheet, to allow SCP-4962 to pass through. The plastic sheet is to be removed after each sample of SCP-4962 is taken. A small plastic bag, to allow SCP-4962 to pass through. A plastic sheet, to allow SCP-4962 to pass through. A small plastic bag, to allow SCP-4962 to pass through. A small bag, to allow SCP-4962 to pass through. A plastic sheet, to allow SCP-4962 to pass through.
1138
1139SCP-4962 is to be stored in the glass containment vessel at an ambient temperature of -20° celsius, and a humidity of at least 90%.
1140
1141SCP-4962 must not be allowed to leave SCP-4962-A or SCP-4962-B.
1142
1143SCP-4962 is to be fed once per week. SCP-4962 must be replaced every 12 weeks.
1144
1145Description: SCP-4962 is a collection of 10,000 small white plastic pellets, with a diameter of approximately 5 cm. When exposed to water, the pellets will immediately expand to a length of at least 20 cm before contracting back to a length of 5 cm. When a piece of SCP-4962 enters the end of a plastic tube and is pulled through, the end of the tube will become covered in small white pellets. When the end of a plastic tube is touched with the end of a piece of SCP-4962, the contact may cause SCP-4962 to expand to a length of at least 20 cm.
1146
1147When SCP-4962 is removed from its container, SCP-4962 begins to emit a series of chirping noises and rapidly expands within its container. The size of the container does not seem to affect the volume of SCP-4962 emitting these noises.
1148
1149The sound produced by SCP-4962 is a constant chirping sound, which is consistent for an average of 12 hours. The sound of the chirping sound is loud enough to be noticed by humans during normal conversation.
1150
1151SCP-4962's anomalous properties become obvious after SCP-4962 has been kept for 24 hours. When SCP-4962 is kept for 24 hours or more, the chirping sound decreases in volume at a rate of approximately 0.0001 Hz per second. When the chirping sound is at an audible level of 0.0002 Hz, a loud noise akin to a bird pecking at a table is heard. The sound of the bird pecking at a table is consistent for an average of 2 hours. No birds are observed to be pecking at SCP-4962.
1152
1153After the final hour of SCP-4962's containment, the bird pecking sound stops. The bird pecking sound is not heard by the people kept in the containment area for the previous 12 hours.
1154
1155SCP-4962 is capable of passing through any solid object in which the end of the plastic tube is in contact with the end of the tube. When SCP-4962 is allowed to leave SCP-4962-A or SCP-4962-B, the end of the tube will retract to its original position. When the end of

1161Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept at a safe distance from the site.
1162
1163If it is determined that SCP-4962 can be contained by a method other than the standard method of containment, Dr. ███████ ██████ has been tasked with constructing a makeshift containment chamber to contain SCP-4962.
1164
1165Description: SCP-4962 is a human female, aged 27-31 years. SCP-4962 has a small black nose with a light tan and grey patch at the tip. She has no visible scars or other physical abnormalities. SCP-4962 speaks in a clear, robotic voice, and has been found to be able to correctly pronounce English words and phrases.
1166
1167SCP-4962 identifies itself as Mary-Elizabeth (sic) [REDACTED], a "supernatural healer," who claims to have "the gift of healing." SCP-4962 claims that she was once a well-educated young woman in London, England, but had suffered a series of unfortunate events that led her to be unable to continue her education. After suffering a number of setbacks, [REDACTED] decided to move to [REDACTED], New York City. SCP-4962 describes the city as having "an excellent educational system" and asserts that this is part of the reason she decided to leave.
1168
1169SCP-4962 claims that a number of people have come to her seeking help with a variety of illnesses, and that she has been able to cure them all. SCP-4962 has also been able to provide medical treatment to members of the public, including ████████████████ ████████████, who was found on the street with a single gunshot wound to the torso.
1170
1171SCP-4962 currently resides in [REDACTED], New York City.
1172
1173SCP-4962 claims to be able to remove a "mild concussion" from a subject by having him sit on her head.
1174
1175SCP-4962 also claims to be able to cure people of any number of physical disorders, such as obesity, depression, asthma, and cancer by "healing" the person's blood. While this is a legitimate medical procedure, SCP-4962 is unable to provide any information regarding any possible side effects, and has been removed from the medical field.
1176
1177It is unknown whether SCP-4962 has any other abilities or anomalous properties such as telekinesis and telepathy.
1178
1179Addendum: SCP-4962's current location is currently unknown, as it is believed to be in New York City.
1180
1181Addendum 2: Following a request by Director █████, a Foundation task force has begun to investigate possible connections between SCP-4962 and the Foundation.
1182
1183Incident 4962-1: On March 13th, 2015, SCP-4962 used telekinesis to move a large number of objects across the floor of the basement of the location of her current residence. The objects were subsequently found to be made of steel, and are currently in storage.
1184
1185Incident 4962-2: On April 24th, 2015, SCP-4962 teleported from an open window with an open window sill to a large group of people gathered outside a restaurant, while wearing a gas mask. The group consisted of a total of 15 individuals, including five adults and two children. The people were seated on the ground and appeared to be suffering from a variety of illnesses and various ailments. SCP-4962 claims to be able to "heal" these people by using her telekinesis to "heal" their illnesses. When questioned about the specifics of her healing abilities, SCP-4962 was able to identify these illnesses, but denied her abilities to heal them. During the conversation, it was discovered that SCP-4962 was being watched by three individuals, who were able to identify the group of people gathered outside the restaurant as members of the Foundation. As a result, Agent ████████ was called in to investigate. SCP-4962 was not able to identify the Foundation agents, and claimed that all of them had "bad attitude" and were "stupid." When questioned about the specifics of her abilities, SCP-4962 was able to correctly identify two of the individuals being watched by Agent ████████, and was able to describe the Foundation agents as having "bad attitude." Agent ████████ was able to identify SCP-4962 as Mary-Elizabeth (sic) [REDACTED] and was able to identify the location of SCP-4962's residence as 2121 Franklin Street. Agent ████████ was able to retrieve a copy of the "New York Times" from SCP-4962's residence, and was able to verify that the "New York Times" is not fake.
1186
1187Agent ████████ was found to be highly irritable and highly agitated, and asked SCP-4962 why she had "done this." SCP-4962 responded, "I don

1193Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in the basement of Site-49. Personnel are to be forbidden from looking at SCP-4962 unless it is being photographed, and are not to speak to SCP-4962 unless it is being spoken to. D-class personnel, who are not allowed to interact with it, are to be given Class E amnestics and moved to a cell in the basement of Site-49 for observation.
1194
1195SCP-4962 is to be kept in a locked steel box and is to be fed a standard diet of soybean oil, oats, and a variety of fresh vegetables per week. SCP-4962 is not to be allowed to leave its room, unless accompanied by a member of the Site-49 staff.
1196
1197Description: SCP-4962 is a human female with brown eyes and black hair. SCP-4962's skin appears to be a dark brown, and it appears to be well-fed. It has no clothing on, other than a pair of white sneakers, and it has no facial hair. SCP-4962 is a strong and dedicated person, and appears to have a good deal of experience and knowledge. SCP-4962's voice has a deep, low, gravelly, baritone voice, and is usually accompanied by a large smile.
1198
1199SCP-4962 will enter a trance state when exposed to the words, "I am the only one who can save your life." When the words are spoken to SCP-4962, it will immediately begin to search for a cure for its condition. SCP-4962 will attempt to find out what has happened to it since being taken into Foundation custody and will often take its requests to Dr. ████ █████, as well as other researchers. It will not be allowed to speak to Dr. ████, or other researchers, without being accompanied by a member of the Dr. ████ █████'s staff. If SCP-4962 finds out that it's been abandoned, it will attempt to find a solution.
1200
1201SCP-4962 will attempt to find a way to solve its condition before any other potential solution exists, such as a cure for the AIDS epidemic. If a solution cannot be found, it will begin to search for other methods to solve its condition, including finding a way to cure itself. The longer SCP-4962 spends searching for a solution, the more likely it is to succeed.
1202
1203SCP-4962's progress in finding a cure depends on the amount of information it has learned about the disease. Information gained by SCP-4962 is often incorrect, and it will often make incorrect assumptions about the disease. SCP-4962 is extremely persistent in its search for a cure. If SCP-4962 stops searching for a cure due to a lack of information, it will make attempts to find out what the disease is, and will attempt to find a cure within 48 hours of a solution being found.
1204
1205SCP-4962 does not appear to have any knowledge of how it's condition has developed. If it is given information about the disease, it will usually claim that it has been diagnosed with "this disease that is causing your condition." SCP-4962 will often attribute its condition to anything from the AIDS epidemic, to the fact that it is part of the "Great American Novel", or to the fact that it is from "the great America." This is due to SCP-4962 being unaware of the fact that it has been infected with HIV for at least 18 months.
1206
1207SCP-4962 will not attempt to seek out a cure from any sources, and will attempt to solve its condition by looking for a cure from within its own body. It will often spend hours at a time searching for a cure. SCP-4962 is not able to obtain any information through the use of Foundation equipment or personnel.
1208
1209SCP-4962 will attempt to cure itself of HIV using any means available to it, including the use of a magnifying glass, a magnifying glass or a mirror, or by injecting a substance containing AIDS virus into its digestive system. It has been observed that, when SCP-4962 is injected with a solution with AIDS virus in it, SCP-4962 will immediately experience a form of euphoria, in the sense that it will not feel pain or suffering, and will feel more comfortable, calm, confident, and cheerful. It will remain in this state for 72 hours, after which it will begin to experience severe pain and suffering. These symptoms include:
1210
1211Lethargy
1212
1213Anxiety
1214
1215Vomiting
1216
1217Constipation

1219Nausea
1220
1221Vomiting Blood
1222
1223If SCP-4962 experiences blood while in the euphoric state, SCP-4962 will immediately begin vomiting blood, and will continue to vomit blood until SCP-4962 dies from a massive blood loss.

1231Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be transported to Storage Unit ██-C at Site-██ for safekeeping. SCP-4962 is to be equipped with a set of custom-made pneumatic tools that are to be kept in a separate room from SCP-4962, as well as a set of custom-made pneumatic tools that are to be kept in a separate room from SCP-4962. Two D-Class personnel are to be assigned to SCP-4962 to aid in the collection of SCP-4962's anomalous properties. As of ██/██/████, SCP-4962 is to be kept in a closet located within Storage Unit ██-C, unless otherwise ordered by Dr. █████.
1232
1233Description: SCP-4962 is a custom-made pneumatic tool manufactured by a known manufacturer of pneumatic tools. It is believed to have been made in the early 20th century, though no documentation of the tool's construction nor its manufacturing process have been found. While SCP-4962's properties are readily apparent, its physical appearance is unknown, and no recorded uses of SCP-4962 have been recorded.
1234
1235When SCP-4962 is turned on, the tool emits a constant, rhythmic, high-pitched sound, which is determined by its location in SCP-4962's handle. The sound is a mixture of two noises: a bass note and a higher pitched whistle. The whistle is identical to that of the bass note, though it is slightly higher pitched, and the whistle is not audible when SCP-4962 is not turned on. Once activated, SCP-4962 will continuously emit the whistle for 10 seconds before ceasing to do so. The whistle emitted by SCP-4962 will continue to play for the next 10 seconds, at a rate of approximately one whistle per second.
1236
1237SCP-4962 was discovered in the late 19th century during the construction of a water tank for SCP-████, a city located on ██████ Island, off the coast of ███████████, ██████, the United States of America. At the time, the city was under the control of the United States of America, but was then overrun by the SCP-████ cult, which had adopted the name "The Order." As a result, it was decided that the city would be moved to a location off-shore of the island. As a result of this decision, the city was moved approximately 500 miles to ███████████. The location was deemed too remote for any form of government to be maintained, and the Foundation was established to provide assistance to the city.
1238
1239SCP-4962 was discovered in Storage Unit ██-C in Storage Unit ██-C at Site-██ in ██/██/████, when a member of the Foundation was using SCP-████ in its containment chamber. SCP-4962 was found in a closet located within the containment chamber, along with several other items. Upon investigation, it was found that SCP-4962 had been intentionally stored there as a form of torture.
1240
1241SCP-4962 was recovered following the Foundation's reclamation of SCP-████. SCP-4962 was transferred to Storage Unit ██-C, and a set of standard pneumatic tools were provided to Dr. █████. As of ██/██/████, SCP-4962 has not been utilized by the Foundation for any purpose, and has been placed in Storage Unit ██-C.
1242
1243Addendum: Following SCP-4962's discovery in Storage Unit ██-C, an instance of SCP-████ was discovered in the room adjoining SCP-4962. SCP-████ was a leatherbound book, written in an unknown language, with the title written above the right corner. SCP-████ is currently being held in a secure facility, and is under the care of Dr. █████.

The containment cell must be cleaned daily and any clothing or other personal items used by SCP-4961-1 will be incinerated. Under no circumstances is SCP-4961-1 to be allowed to communicate with, visit, or see SCP-4962.
1260
1261SCP-4962 is to be fed at least once every two weeks through a feeding tube. If SCP-4962 seems to be in great discomfort, the feeding tube may be removed until SCP-4962 shows signs of discomfort.
1262
1263Description: SCP-4962 is a Caucasian male with a height of 2.8 meters. SCP-4962 also has a unique set of features and is capable of speech. SCP-4962 claims to be ██████ ██████████, an Australian citizen who is currently incarcerated in a psychiatric facility. SCP-4962 shows no anomalous properties when shown photographs or video of the Australian citizen, indicating that it may not be sentient.
1264
1265SCP-4962's anomalous properties manifest when physical contact with SCP-4961-1 is made. When SCP-4962 is in close proximity, it will begin to display the following traits:
1266
1267SCP-4962 has a tendency to walk in a manner reminiscent of a human child, although the movement is slower and more deliberate. SCP-4962 will begin to walk slowly, then pick up speed in a manner similar to a newborn calf. SCP-4962 will stop walking, then suddenly halt abruptly and appear to look into the distance. SCP-4962 will then resume walking. SCP-4961-1 will appear to be standing still with its head turned to the ground. SCP-4962 will then begin to walk toward SCP-4961-1 at an increased rate until it reaches the location of SCP-4961-1. SCP-4962 will begin to make a vocalization similar to the cry of a newborn infant for approximately three seconds, then halt and begin to walk again without any further vocalizations after this period. SCP-4961-1 will then begin to walk in a manner similar to a newborn calf for approximately three seconds, then halt and appear to look into the distance. SCP-4962 will resume speaking for the remainder of the interaction before it appears to begin to fade away. SCP-4962 will begin to appear to lose its ability to speak with SCP-4961-1, then reappear to SCP-4961-1 as a blank slate.
1268
1269SCP-4962 will appear before the same SCP-4961-1 instance it was previously interacting with. This interaction lasts for at least ten minutes, during which it will attempt to communicate with SCP-4961-1 and attempt to interact with it in a manner similar to an infant. SCP-4962 will appear as long as SCP-4961-1 remains in contact with it. If SCP-4962 disappears without any contact with SCP-4961-1, SCP-4962 will cease appearing.
1270
1271Addendum: Interviews with SCP-4962 have shown that SCP-4962 is capable of understanding the English language and has spoken fluent English. However, it has been unable to provide any information regarding its identity or abilities.<|endoftext|>The first major milestone for an ambitious, $1 billion effort to bring the World Trade Center to the West Side of Manhattan is now in sight.
1272
1273On Tuesday, the Port Authority board will vote on a funding package that would pave the way for the Port Authority to acquire one of the remaining four properties in the Hudson Yards development site, which encompasses the trade center, three of its towers and the Hudson Yards subway station.
1274
1275If the Port Authority is successful in securing the land, it could begin the long and costly process of turning the trade center into what is expected to be a world-class transit hub.

1287Special Containment Procedures: Site-98-1 (SCP-4962's former site) is to be maintained in a secure and seismically stable position, and is to be monitored at all times for any changes in the geology, soil or vegetation. Personnel are allowed to remove no more than 250 kg of soil per day, and are to be reminded to remove any soil that has been ingested by SCP-4962. Mobile Task Force Kappa-7 ("Kappa-7") is to be deployed to SCP-4962's former site on a daily basis to maintain containment of SCP-4962.
1288
1289Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid entity of unknown gender, physical description, and origin. SCP-4962 is approximately ██.██ m tall, with an average body mass of 0.04 kg. SCP-4962 is covered in a thick brown skin that resembles the skin of a young raccoon, with several small tufts of hair present. SCP-4962 has two large ears, a long nose, a long, pointed muzzle, and a long, thin tail. SCP-4962's tongue is larger than a human's, and has a thick, blackened fang on the end. SCP-4962 has two arms, one on each, with small claws on the fingers of both.
1290
1291SCP-4962's head has a single eye on the back of the skull. Through this eye, SCP-4962 can perceive sound, but is otherwise unable to see. SCP-4962's hands are unable to manipulate objects due to their small size, and do not have any other notable features. SCP-4962's mouth is only semi-open, allowing the entity to swallow and digest food.
1292
1293SCP-4962's voice is a low, mechanical roar that is audible only to SCP-4962. SCP-4962 will attempt to communicate using this roar once it has swallowed any food (or water). SCP-4962 has not been able to demonstrate the use of speech in any other way.
1294
1295SCP-4962 will use its mouth, claws, and tongue to attack any living creature that has been able to catch it by its tail, with no regard for their size. SCP-4962 will not hesitate to attack anything that has the ability to harm it. SCP-4962 is extremely fast, and often appears to be on the move as it attacks.
1296
1297SCP-4962 is immune to all known poisons and toxins and is not affected by heat or cold, though it has been noted that SCP-4962 will not eat or drink any liquids in a cold environment.
1298
1299SCP-4962 has displayed the ability to communicate with humans, and has thus far been able to communicate with the Foundation.
1300
1301SCP-4962 was discovered by the Foundation after it was identified in the ██████ Mountains. The mountain range, once home to a large population of numerous species of wildlife, has since been systematically surveyed for SCP-4962. The number of SCP-4962 found within the mountain range is not known, though it is estimated to be around 20. SCP-4962 has been located to have been present at the site of its former containment site.
1302
1303SCP-4962 was discovered by the Foundation when it was discovered to be moving on the surface of a glacier in the ██████ Mountains. The local wildlife, including several species of wolves and mountain lions, were quickly apprehended and contained.
1304
1305All animals currently in captivity at Site-98-1 have been monitored for symptoms of SCP-4962. No animals have displayed any of the symptoms of SCP-4962, though they have not been completely ruled out.
1306
1307Addendum: SCP-4962 was originally found by a group of hikers in the ██████ Mountains. Upon entering the area, they reported seeing a large cat, with a large head, large paws and a long tail, that was moving in a similar manner to that of SCP-4962's roar. Due to its size, the group was forced to hide inside a small cave that was near SCP-4962. Upon leaving, they discovered the body of a female deer, lying on the ground next to a large, empty box.
1308
1309Upon further investigation, they found that SCP-4962's roar was not present, but the deer's body was riddled with several small holes. Upon investigation of the holes, it was discovered that the deer's head had been removed, and that the rest of her body had been removed from the box. The deer's left eye was removed, but her right eye was not. As the deer was a non-humanoid creature, no SCP was found in her mouth. All the deer's teeth had been removed. She had also been sexually assaulted, with some of the teeth missing.

1317Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a 1.6m x 1.6m x 1.6m (5ft x 5ft x 5ft) room containing a secure airlock. The room is to be kept at a temperature at or below 1██ °C (392 °F), with no direct exposure to sunlight. A small window must be kept in the room, which is to be kept dark and sealed.
1318
1319The airlock must be kept in operation at all times. Personnel entering the room must be equipped with a standard-issue respiratory mask and protective clothing, in addition to any other appropriate equipment for entering such an environment.
1320
1321Description: SCP-4962 is a series of paintings depicting a young man, with a moustache and beard, standing with his back to the viewer, as if about to stand up. He is seated on a wooden stool, wearing a jacket and trousers, and carrying a backpack containing a satchel. The canvas is inscribed with two numbers: "4962" and "7/11".
1322
1323SCP-4962's subjects are not aware that they are not in a room, and do not appear to be aware of the presence of others until they observe the paintings.

The paintings do not cause any other effects upon its subjects.
1324
1325On the day of the painting's execution, an individual will emerge from the canvas and attempt to stand up as quickly as possible. SCP-4962 will be alerted to their attempts to leave the canvas, and will attempt to stop the individual by physically restraining them. When the individual fails to move for ten seconds, SCP-4962 will remove the canvas and place it in a nearby sink. The sink must be kept at a temperature of SCP-4962's subjects' own choosing, at or below their own body temperature.
1326
1327SCP-4962 must be supplied with an adequate supply of paint and paintbrushes. SCP-4962's subjects will not attempt to escape the canvas, once SCP-4962 has finished painting.
1328
1329SCP-4962's subjects are able to return to life, after an average of five to ten minutes. SCP-4962's subjects are capable of speaking, and display significant understanding or even familiarity with basic vocabulary and modern grammar.

1330
1331SCP-4962 will appear to have an increased lifespan, despite the fact that the subjects are capable of dying of natural causes. The painting of SCP-4962 will not be destroyed until a subject has died of natural causes. SCP-4962's subjects do not die by natural causes, but rather, begin to bleed from various organs. When the painting of SCP-4962 is destroyed, the subject will bleed profusely, and cease to bleed.
1332
1333A study of the subjects' blood revealed the following pattern:
1334
1335There is a noticeable lack of any specific chemical element, including hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, silicon, and the non-radioactive isotopes of hydrogen and helium. The blood has a strong, unpleasant odor, similar to that of the painting of SCP-4962.
1336
1337SCP-4962's subjects are capable of speech. The subjects attempt to describe their experiences with the painting in varying degrees of detail.

1363Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell constructed from the materials currently used in standard humanoid containment cells (see Addendum 562-01 below). No more than 3 D-Class personnel are to be assigned to SCP-4962 at any given time. Personnel assigned to SCP-4962 are to be at least three hours' sleep time per day and must be instructed on how to handle SCP-4962 and any possible emotional or psychological issues that may arise during routine interactions with SCP-4962.
1364
1365Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid female with a relatively average height of 5ft 4in (165cm). SCP-4962 has brown hair and eyes, a nose that is large and pointy, and a mouth with large, triangular teeth visible from beneath her lower lip.
1366
1367SCP-4962 is incapable of speech or locomotion due to an unknown anomaly. SCP-4962 is also incapable of swallowing food or liquids, or even regurgitating them.
1368
1369SCP-4962's anomalous properties manifest within 24 hours of contact with human flesh. This effect renders all human skin on SCP-4962 completely non-anomalous, as the skin will adhere to and assimilate any objects that are placed on or near SCP-4962. The skin of SCP-4962 will remain adhered to any objects on SCP-4962 for at least two weeks, after which it will retract, and disappear from SCP-4962 in a manner consistent with a normal human being. The skin will also adhere to and assimilate any human hair that is placed on or near SCP-4962 as well, except that the hair will only be attached to SCP-4962 for up to one week.
1370
1371As a result of this phenomenon, any and all objects placed on SCP-4962 will become completely non-anomalous after two weeks, and SCP-4962 will no longer adhere to or assimilate any objects on the subject subject. In cases where the subject is removed from SCP-4962, all items that were formerly attached to the subject are also removed from SCP-4962. Removing SCP-4962 from the skin of a subject will cause all items placed on SCP-4962 to become non-anomalous again.
1372
1373Addendum 562-01: Experiment Log 562-01
1374
1375SCP-4962 was used as a test subject for an experiment to determine which of two different methods of removing SCP-4962 from a subject would be the most effective in removing SCP-4962 from the subject. The subject was placed on SCP-4962's neck and the skin was removed from the subject's neck to a point on the subject's back. No additional skin was removed from SCP-4962 during this process. The skin of the subject was then placed onto a large, steel surface and SCP-4962 was removed. The skin of the subject is being used as a template for the creation of a series of armor suits based on a design submitted by Dr. ██████.<|endoftext|>"I can't tell you if he really did it, but I can tell you that on the other side of the field, those were the people who were hurt," said the man who was not identified because the investigation is still ongoing.<|endoftext|>A young boy named Toni who's been bullied by his classmates is invited to visit a world-famous circus.

1385Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber. Inside the chamber, SCP-4962 is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment chamber. The chamber is to be cleaned at least once every 24 hours. The chamber's air supply is to be hooked up to a standard air filter.
1386
1387Description: SCP-4962 is a human female of approximately 20 years of age. The subject was found in the ████████ ██████ ██████, ████, USA. The subject has been tentatively identified as "Nancy Doe."
1388
1389SCP-4962's anomalous properties manifest as a variety of visual and auditory hallucinatory effects. The hallucinations are caused by the subject's ability to influence her surroundings, and by some unknown means, and can be either positive or negative. The hallucinations do not generally impair the subject's ability to function but can give the subject an erroneous perception of reality. The majority of the hallucinations have not been explained, and may be entirely physical or may be a combination of physical and nonphysical hallucination.
1390
1391The hallucinatory effects manifest when the subject is exposed to certain stimuli. While it has not been confirmed, it is possible that SCP-4962's ability to influence the environment is tied to her ability to see and hear. However, the subject's hallucinations are not caused by her physical presence.
1392
1393The hallucinatory effects are consistent with those observed by previous researchers in the same facility. Research has been inconclusive as to whether or not the hallucinations are caused by SCP-4962's anomalous properties or by an unknown biological factor.
1394
1395SCP-4962 was recovered from ████████ ██████ ██████, ████, during a raid by the FBI on an alleged Ponzi scheme. However, the raid was a false alarm. The raid was not to arrest "Nancy Doe." The FBI instead recovered SCP-4962 along with numerous other anomalous items and papers. The raid was conducted by Agent ██████.

1400
1401For this part of the series we'll be looking at those three different areas of strength training. I've selected the following programs with the goal of having them done at least once a week.
1402
1403I know that you can do a lot better than these and there are plenty of programs out there with very good results. However as a coach I have to tell you that this works.
1404
1405So lets get started!
1406
1407Core Strength
1408
1409I often recommend a series of core exercises to anyone who asks.
1410
1411This is the very first exercise that you do in any of these programs and it is crucial to your success.
1412
1413It should be one of your main exercises and you'll be surprised how many people don't do it. It's not that hard once you get the hang of it.
1414
1415Here are some sample movements:
1416
1417Squat
1418
1419Deadlift
1420
1421Bench Press
1422
1423Military Press

1436
1437Overhead Press
1438
1439Chin Ups
1440
1441Plank
1442
1443These exercises will build up your core stability and strength.
1444
1445Speed and Agility
1446
1447These programs will also help improve your agility. They are not required but they are a good addition.
1448
1449If you are looking for a program where you will be running, biking, playing sports, or just doing other activities that require some form of "body control" (ie. standing still, jumping, etc) they are a good addition.
1450
1451Speed training is very important for many reasons. It not only improves your aerobic fitness but also helps improve your neuromuscular efficiency.
1452
1453Aerobic fitness is not only important for your general physical fitness, but it also plays a huge role in athletic performance and performance in the sport (ie. running fast).
1454
1455Aerobic Conditioning
1456
1457This is the next most important area of strength training.
1458
1459For this we are going to focus on speed, agility and power.
1460
1461Speed training can be described by a series of steps and it can be broken down into many sub-areas:
1462
1463Acceleration training
1464
1465Endurance training
1466
1467Strength training
1468
1469Stamina training

1485Special Containment Procedures: All attempts at containment have failed. All known or suspected instances of SCP-4962 are to be placed into the Foundation's most secure storage unit and monitored for possible SCP-4962-1/2 instances. If a containment breach occurs, the affected SCP-4962 instances are to be quarantined in Site-██, and Foundation operatives are to be dispatched to the instance as soon as possible (currently, a maximum of two weeks) to retrieve it. Should a subject SCP-4962-1/2 attempt to enter the containment storage unit, the affected SCP-4962 instance is to be placed into the most secure storage unit and monitored for signs of a new SCP-4962-1/2 instance.
1486
1487Description: SCP-4962 is a phenomenon first discovered in April of 1995. As of late 2015, SCP-4962 is a phenomenon affecting an unknown number of humans and animals. The exact nature of the phenomenon at this time is unknown.
1488
1489All affected subjects believe that they are affected by the ability to communicate with their deceased friends and family in the afterlife. The affected individuals (designated SCP-4962-1 and -2) speak to their deceased loved ones via a series of conversations that may involve any of the following:
1490
1491• Emotional responses
1492
1493• Physical sensations
1494
1495• A sense of time
1496
1497• A feeling of nostalgia
1498
1499• A feeling of the presence of God
1500
1501The conversations generally consist of a monologue with the affected subject and a series of questions directed at their deceased loved ones. The conversations are typically carried out by the subject's deceased loved ones in their afterlife. If the conversation is successful, the subject is given an opportunity to communicate to their deceased loved ones with their deceased loved ones, after which the conversation ends. The subjects report that their deceased loved ones seem to react to their communication by thanking them or commenting on them.
1502
1503As of 2016, the Foundation has received no reports of SCP-4962-1 instances attempting to communicate to their deceased loved ones in the afterlife. The Foundation is currently unaware of any known way for a affected individual to interact with their deceased loved one, and is thus unable to establish a containment method for SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1 instances that do interact with their deceased loved ones in the afterlife often display signs of a psychological disorder which is similar to that associated with SCP-4962-1.
1504
1505SCP-4962 was discovered in the vicinity of the rural town of ████, Pennsylvania after local residents reported seeing a large mass of green-gray, translucent material in the sky. Local residents reported that the substance was floating above the earth and that they could see it glowing in the sky.
1506
1507At this time, the Foundation's medical staff has been unable to determine the nature of SCP-4962, although it appears to affect humans and animals equally. The affected individuals have reported that they feel as if their loved ones are now alive and that they are able to communicate with them.<|endoftext|>If you look back at your high school or college days, there's a very good chance you will remember the days of college football Saturdays.

1525Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a 20m square, with a 2m high steel door at the bottom. The door must be locked from the outside, and the area around SCP-4962 must be kept as dust free as possible. Personnel entering the containment area can be searched immediately upon being found. If any of the personnel has been exposed to any of the chemicals, or is exposed to any of SCP-4962's effects, they must be treated with Class-C amnestics immediately following exposure and not allowed to return to the area, unless accompanied by an additional Class-C personnel.
1526
1527Description: SCP-4962 is a small, white humanoid with a small, round head and elongated limbs. SCP-4962 is not capable of speech, and only communicates through gestures. SCP-4962's main body is composed of a material typically found around machinery or the exterior of buildings, consisting of an unidentified substance that is commonly referred to as 'silica'. The outer layer of SCP-4962's body is composed of a material that is very similar to iron and is a dark brown in color.
1528
1529SCP-4962 has a few physical properties, which are similar to those of ordinary quartz. However, it has been discovered that it is capable of emitting a very faint, high-pitched sound. It is believed that SCP-4962, when moving, emits this sound, and that it emits it to communicate.
1530
1531SCP-4962 has been identified as a variant of 'Dianectes exulans' a species of fungus that inhabits the soil. Due to the fact that it is a fungus, SCP-4962 is not considered a dangerous organism by our resources.
1532
1533When SCP-4962 moves, a faint 'whistling' sound can be heard. The sound is consistent with the movement of a small insect, with a typical pitch of about 16 Hz. The sound is not audible to humans or mammals. When SCP-4962 moves, it emits a faint, high-pitched sound that is consistent with this movement. It is not audible to humans or mammals.
1534
1535SCP-4962 does not appear to be able to travel through solid objects, and has not been able to use its abilities to move through solid walls. It has been discovered that SCP-4962 has been able to travel through walls, and when it has been able to move through the wall, it has been able to move across it. This has not been observed in any other cases.
1536
1537The only other time that SCP-4962 has been observed to move through a solid wall is when it moves directly over it. When SCP-4962 crosses a solid wall, it emits a faint sound that is similar to the sound it makes when it moves through walls. It has been observed that this sound is very similar to the sound made by a human walking across a smooth surface.
1538
1539SCP-4962 has been observed to be able to move through solid air, and has been observed to move through air. When it moves through air, it emits an almost noise-like 'humming' sound. When SCP-4962 travels through an object, it emits a very faint sound that is not audible to humans or mammals. When SCP-4962 is moved, it emits a very faint, high-pitched sound that is similar to the movement and sounds of a small insect.
1540
1541SCP-4962's 'humming' sound is the only physical sound transmitted by SCP-4962 when it is moving. It is believed that this sound is sent out as a means of communication between SCP-4962 and one of its "handlers". SCP-4962 is to communicate with its handlers by emitting the humming sound.

1544
1545Addendum SCP-4962-1:
1546
1547When Foundation researchers attempted to create an airtight seal around SCP-4962, they discovered that it was capable of moving through a solid object in two ways:
1548
1549SCP-4962 can move through a solid object by using its ability to move through walls. When SCP-4962 moves using this method, it emits a low-pitched hum that is similar to the hum they make as they move through solid walls. When SCP-4962 moves in this manner, it does not sound like a small insect. Instead, it sounds like a human walking across a smooth surface.<|endoftext|>The United States is in the midst of a "pivotal moment" in how it handles climate change, a leading scientist warns in an op-ed published Thursday by the New York Times.

1558Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-██, with the exception of testing. Testing subjects are to be kept within 12 meters of SCP-4962 at all times. No equipment, materials, or materials that make any direct or indirect impact to SCP-4962 are to be brought in or out of SCP-4962's containment cell.
1559
1560Description: SCP-4962 is a human male (D-4962), who has been designated SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1 is composed of what is believed to be metal, but is not believed to be an actual human body. Due to SCP-4962's anomalous nature, its appearance and characteristics are not to be disclosed or discussed with any non-anomalous person.
1561
1562SCP-4962 is capable of moving at speeds exceeding Mach 5, and is capable of moving at speeds of over 1000 meters per second. SCP-4962 is immune to the effects of extreme heat or cold (including water), but has been observed to "heat up" in low temperatures.
1563
1564SCP-4962's movements are described by it as "tugging and pulling at the air", and can be observed to alter its body to a greater or lesser degree as it moves. This can involve the body moving from its natural shape to something that is more or less human-sized, as well as stretching and bending its legs or torso. SCP-4962 can also move in an odd manner, such as floating or "bouncing" along the ground, or even having the shape of the ceiling or floor.
1565
1566SCP-4962-1 is completely oblivious to any physical or mental damage that it takes. SCP-4962-1 has been observed to display a similar level of resistance to physical injuries as a normal human being. SCP-4962-1 has also been observed to ignore the impact of bullets and other projectiles, and has been observed to move at a consistent speed through solid objects, including walls, floors, and ceilings. SCP-4962-1 also possesses a level of resistance to any type of force (including gravity and shock) that is not directly caused by the subject. SCP-4962-1 will appear fully normal at all times.
1567
1568SCP-4962-1 has shown the ability to communicate in the form of a series of vocalizations and cries, which are recorded and played back by testing subjects. SCP-4962-1 appears to be the last remaining member of an ancient race of humanoid beings, which has since disappeared. This group disappeared some time after the creation of SCP-4962. To date, SCP-4962-1 has not been able to communicate with any other subjects, and has expressed confusion and distress over its lack of communication with other species. The subjects who have heard SCP-4962-1's vocalizations and cries have shown no negative reaction.
1569
1570SCP-4962-1 is a member of a civilization that has existed for at least 2,000 years. This civilization has been described to appear to be at least 10,000 years old, and to have built a number of advanced technologies including a type of "crystal" that functions as an energy source and a type of "metal" that appears to be a natural substance. SCP-4962-1's civilization appears to have been in contact with several different human-based cultures, which it has either destroyed, assimilated, or enslaved.
1571
1572SCP-4962-1 has a large collection of information about the cultures that it has been assimilated by, as well as many other advanced technologies. These technologies include a type of "crystalline substance" that can be used to produce a type of energy known as "crystalline-based energy" that is more or less equivalent to that produced by nuclear fusion. The technology was also capable of producing a type of "metal" capable of being used in the manufacture of machinery. SCP-4962-1 has attempted to contact members of these cultures, but is only able to receive rudimentary information.
1573
1574SCP-4962-1 has been observed to have attempted to contact several members of SCP-4962's civilization, but has only been able to communicate with them by playing back recorded messages from the civilization's past, which have proven to be fairly accurate. SCP-4962-1 has been observed to have attempted to communicate with SCP-4962's current civilization, but has only been able to communicate by making vocalizations.
1575
1576SCP-4962-1 also has a large collection of information about SCP-4962, which includes information regarding its history, civilization, and other information. Due to SCP-4962-1's inability to communicate with other civilizations, it is believed that SCP-4962-1 is the only entity able to speak with SCP-4962 in the way that it does. SCP-

1582Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell with a transparent window overlying the chamber. The door to the containment chamber is to be sealed with a standard lock. For testing purposes, SCP-4962 is to be equipped with a standard containment device.
1583
1584Description: SCP-4962 is a Caucasian female, approximately 1.5 meters tall and 100 kg in weight. SCP-4962's head, hair, and eyes are completely white. A single line of hair grows from the back of SCP-4962's head and is present in all other portions of the specimen, with the exception of her hands and feet. Her fingers and toes are noticeably yellow, with no evidence of any pigment whatsoever.
1585
1586SCP-4962's skin contains no pigmentation whatsoever, nor is it capable of sustaining any organic substance. SCP-4962's eyes are also of unknown origin.
1587
1588SCP-4962's physical capabilities are identical to those of any normal human. SCP-4962's primary means of locomotion is the use of her hands. SCP-4962 is capable of using her hands to perform various bodily functions, such as picking up objects, throwing them, and manipulating them. The exact nature of these bodily functions varies with each individual, but the most common uses include eating, drinking, and urinating.
1589
1590SCP-4962's primary means of communication with other humans is via the use of her vocal chords. SCP-4962 has been recorded to speak in such a manner that can be understood by any human capable of speech. SCP-4962's voice is typically high pitched, but at certain times SCP-4962 can be heard to speak in a more normal tone.
1591
1592SCP-4962 has been observed to attempt to communicate with her current owner, ███████ ██████████, through the use of speech. In the case of an emergency, SCP-4962 will attempt to use her vocal cords to communicate with her current owner. This has happened in the past in the immediate vicinity of SCP-4962's containment cells, but has not occurred in any case since the appearance of SCP-4962's current containment cell.
1593
1594SCP-4962's current owner, ███████ ██████████, was found dead from apparent suicide on ██/██/████, the night in question. SCP-4962 was found within the containment cell, where she had been deceased for approximately four hours. An examination of SCP-4962's body revealed that she had sustained extensive damage to her left shoulder and forearm, consistent with an assault with a weapon. A note found in the containment cell indicated that SCP-4962 had attempted to commit suicide following her owner's death, but was unsuccessful.
1595
1596SCP-4962 has been found to be completely in compliance with all containment protocols. When SCP-4962's containment cell is entered, the entity will attempt to communicate with the current owner using the method described above. If SCP-4962 is unable to communicate, or the current owner is not present, SCP-4962 will attempt to communicate with a humanoid voice on the other end of the line.
1597
1598SCP-4962 has exhibited no obvious means of escape from containment. She has been able to communicate with humans who had been unable to communicate with her prior to her arrival, but has not been able to communicate with SCP-4962-1, the entity responsible for SCP-4962's resurrection.
1599
1600Addendum: It is believed that SCP-4962 has been affected by the memory loss and amnesia experienced by many of those who have come into contact with SCP-4962-1. It is believed that SCP-4962 was created as an independent entity to prevent SCP-4962-1 from being able to cause further damage to Foundation personnel. It is believed that SCP-4962 was created as a means to protect SCP-4962-1 from any further harm.
1601
1602Incident 4962-1: On ██/██/████, SCP-4962 was discovered to have caused severe damage to the containment cell of SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1, a man in his forties with a history of substance abuse, attempted to enter the containment cell to investigate the source of the damage, but was met with resistance from SCP-4962-1.
1603
1604SCP-4962-1 was then seen to remove a knife from his belt and used it to cut through the steel mesh surrounding the containment cell. SCP-4962-1 attempted to flee the area, but was stopped by SCP-4962-2, a woman in her twenties who had been present in the containment cell with SCP-4962-1 prior to his arrival. SCP-4962-2 was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital and treated for injuries sustained during the attack on the containment cell.

1612Special Containment Procedures: The Site-19 administration area is to be monitored by 24-hour surveillance at all times, including when SCP-4962-1 is in the building. Any personnel that enters the area during a recording session of SCP-4962-1 is to be contained and administered amnestics to prevent amnestic effects from manifesting. The entrance to the containment area is to be locked at all times, to prevent the containment of SCP-4962-1 should it have to leave it's containment area.
1613
1614SCP-4962-1 is to be contained in a room at Site-19, in a locked container. The maximum containment area is to be no smaller than 50 m².
1615
1616Description: SCP-4962 is a recording of a recording of a recording of a recording of a recording of SCP-4962-1, of a woman singing through an intercom. SCP-4962-1 is a recording of a recording of SCP-4962-1.
1617
1618In all recordings of SCP-4962-1, SCP-4962-1's voice is that of "Alyssa ███████", a female voice that does not show any signs of age. SCP-4962-1's voice is female in all recorded instances, however, its gender is always male.
1619
1620SCP-4962-2 is the third recorded instance of SCP-4962-1. It possesses a face similar to that of a young Caucasian, with a prominent nose, and thin lips. SCP-4962-2 is in good health, with only minor evidence of aging. SCP-4962-2's skin is pale, and its skin tone is consistent with that of a Caucasian female. SCP-4962-2 was born in the year 20██. SCP-4962-2 has stated that it was not able to have children, as her genetic material is incompatible with that of a human.
1621
1622SCP-4962-1 is not a recording of SCP-4962-2. Every recording of SCP-4962-1 includes a recording of SCP-4962-2. SCP-4962-1 has claimed to be SCP-4962-2's descendant, however, this has yet to be confirmed.
1623
1624SCP-4962-1 is able to move within the containment chamber, and is allowed limited freedom. SCP-4893-1 was unable to move at all during SCP-4962-1's first containment, and was removed from the area. SCP-4962-1 was later able to move again and was given a bed, an exercise bike, and a bathroom.
1625
1626SCP-4962-1 has shown a tendency to disappear from the room when the recording is being played. In the event that SCP-4962-1 leaves SCP-4962-1's containment area, it should not be left alone for more than 30 minutes, to prevent SCP-4962-1 from becoming disoriented and possibly damaging the recording.
1627
1628SCP-4962-1 is a recording of "Alyssa ███████", recorded on ██/██/████. SCP-4962-1 has been given a name of Unknown.
1629
1630Addendum: SCP-4962-1 was discovered during a routine security check on the recording of SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1's voice was that of a young Caucasian woman, approximately 18 years old. SCP-4962-1's voice is female in all recorded instances, however, her voice is always female.
1631
1632SCP-4962-1's voice is that of a female, and is a typical female voice used by SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1 is not female in all recorded instances, however, the voice it uses is consistently female. All instances of SCP-4962-1 use this female voice, regardless of the gender of the people that are having their recordings played.
1633
1634Addendum: As of ██/██/████, SCP-4962-1's voice has been recorded at least three times.
1635
1636SCP-4962-1: My name is Alyssa ███████.

1660Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site 19; at any time, staff personnel are to be briefed on its anomalous qualities. At no point is SCP-4962 to leave the containment cell.
1661
1662Description: SCP-4962 is a human female of average height and build. SCP-4962's skin color is Caucasian, though her hair color varies from blonde to brown to jet black. SCP-4962's eyes are green, but are unaltered from their natural state; aside from this, however, SCP-4962 displays no other unusual physical traits. SCP-4962's pupils are also normally unaltered; however, their size, shape, and number are vastly different from their natural state. SCP-4962's lips are also abnormal; while they display normal coloration, their size is abnormally large, and they have a distinct, flat appearance.
1663
1664SCP-4962's eyes exhibit rapid pupil dilation, and will often twitch as a result; in this state, SCP-4962 is unable to perceive light at all, and is capable of moving at speeds of up to 200 m/s. SCP-4962 cannot communicate in any way, and can only communicate through its anomalous eyes.
1665
1666The eyes of SCP-4962 are not actually eyes, but rather, a collection of eyes, many of which share a certain form. These include the following:
1667
1668• SCP-4962's head, which displays a single, black orb
1669
1670• SCP-4962's torso, which displays multiple, black orbs
1671
1672• An eye-like protrusion on SCP-4962's lower back, which is the source of SCP-4962's telepathy
1673
1674• A protrusion on SCP-4962's upper torso, which displays a single, red eye
1675
1676Each of these eyes is capable of viewing a different portion of the subject's body. The eyes on SCP-4962's head are particularly effective; they are sensitive enough to see through almost any kind of clothing, and are capable of seeing through walls and objects. The eyes on SCP-4962's torso can see into any orifice, including its own body. The eyes on SCP-4962's lower back are less capable, but still capable of seeing through clothing and walls. Due to the nature of its gaze, most people who are within a certain range of SCP-4962 will find themselves unable to move for nearly a few seconds in the case of SCP-4962's gaze; the duration of this effect is dependent on the subject's height, weight, and age. Once the subject has been rendered unconscious, a black-and-white "virus" begins to spread throughout the subject's body.
1677
1678The eyes of SCP-4962 are able to perceive SCP-4962's body through three distinct senses: olfaction, hearing, and touch. Although it is unknown what makes the eyes on SCP-4962's body perceive the world through these three senses, it is known that these sensors all respond to the same stimuli.
1679
1680When a stimulus is presented to the eyes on SCP-4962, it will open and close from within the subject's body, as shown in the following diagram. The eyes will then move towards the stimulus in a smooth motion, and the subject's body will change as a result. This motion is not a physical movement; instead, it is the subject's mind, as seen in the following diagram. The eyes are capable of moving in any direction, as long as they are not in direct contact with the stimulus. The eyes will not move if they are directly behind the stimulus, and will not move towards the stimulus if they are directly in front of the stimulus.
1681
1682The eyes can only move in this manner for a few seconds at a time. Once the eyes have left the stimulus, the subject will remain motionless for another several seconds before slowly becoming awake. After they wake up, the eyes on SCP-4962 will appear to be a completely different color, and are capable of viewing almost any object, as well as moving almost any object in a certain way. When a stimulus is presented to SCP-4962, it will open and close from within the subject's body, as shown in the following diagram. SCP-4962 will then move towards the stimulus and continue to do so for several seconds. Once the eyes have left the stimulus, the subject will slowly become disoriented and fall asleep. Upon waking up, the eyes will appear to be a completely different color, and the subject will continue to move towards the stimulus, as shown in the following diagram.
1683
1684SCP-4962's eyes seem to be extremely sensitive to light, and are capable of perceiving stimuli that would normally be difficult to perceive. The eyes of SCP-4962 will even respond to light at a wavelength of 590nm, which

1690Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-4962 are to be kept in a standard Containment Unit in Site-77. Any and all materials used to manufacture SCP-4962-A are to be stored in Site-77's Hazardous Materials area. SCP-4962-A must be kept in a standard containment locker at all times so that it can be opened and read. The locker must be changed every 8 hours.
1691
1692Any materials that were used to manufacture SCP-4962-B are to be destroyed.
1693
1694Description: SCP-4962 is a series of six (6) metal cylinders which are approximately 12 centimeters in diameter, each of which consists of an unbroken metal sphere, approximately 6 centimeters in diameter. The spheres are made from roughly the same material as the original SCP-4962, but with the addition of a light green, metallic coating. The spheres have been constructed to conform with the dimensions of SCP-4962-A, which are approximately 4 centimeters in diameter.
1695
1696Whenever the spheres are moved, the corresponding light green coating will become opaque and the metal will break into multiple pieces. This process is called disintegration. Once the pieces of metal have been removed, the metal and their constituent pieces can be re-assembled.
1697
1698When the metal is broken, each of the pieces has a different chemical composition. As of today, only 14 of the original 16 chemical compounds have been detected in SCP-4962.
1699
1700When the spheres are assembled, they will form a 3 cm x 3 cm rectangle. The dimensions of the rectangle are roughly double that of SCP-4962-A, and the area of the rectangle is roughly 2.6 times that of SCP-4962-A.
1701
1702SCP-4962-A is composed of two (2) metal spheres of approximate 6 centimeters in diameter. The two spheres are attached to each other through a threaded rod and a small ring. The threaded rod is a light green metallic object that is approximately 1.3 cm in diameter. The ring is approximately 4 centimeters in diameter, and the entire assembly is surrounded by a small, clear Plexiglas window. The assembly is held in place by a small bolt located just above the window and a small, black plastic ring.
1703
1704The window is made of a light green, metallic material that is approximately 5.5 centimeters in diameter. The window is held in place by a thin metal ring that is approximately 8.6 centimeters in diameter. The assembly, which has been constructed with materials compatible with SCP-4962-B, was placed in the window, which is about 1.8 meters above the floor. The assembly was then placed in the room where SCP-4962-B was to be created.
1705
1706When SCP-4962-B is created, the assembly in the window, which was placed in the room where the assembly was made, will begin to disappear. The assembly will disappear before the window is finished, and the assembly will only be visible after it is completed. After a period of approximately 20 minutes, the assembly will disappear completely.
1707
1708When the assembly is complete, the assembly will be placed in a container and placed in a standard containment locker. Any and all materials used to manufacture SCP-4962-B are to be kept in Site-77's Hazardous Materials area. SCP-4962-B must be kept in a standard containment locker at all times so that it can be opened and read.
1709
1710Addendum 4962-01: At the moment that SCP-4962-B was created, the assembly in the window was already complete. The assembly, which was in the window, consisted of two metal spheres approximately 6 centimeters in diameter. The assembly was made in the same manner as the original SCP-4962. As of today, 15 chemicals have been detected in SCP-4962-B.
1711
1712Addendum 4962-02: At the time that SCP-4962-B was created, the assembly in the window was not complete. The assembly was not complete when the assembly in the window was placed in the room where SCP-4962-B was to be created. This anomaly was noted immediately after the assembly was placed in the room.
1713
1714Addendum 4962-03: At the time that SCP-4962-B was placed into the room, the composition of SCP-4962-B was different from that of the original SCP-4962. The composition of SCP-4962-B differs from the composition of SCP-4962-A to a much greater degree than was observed before.
1715
1716Addendum 4962-04: On ██/██/████, a new set of 6 (6) metal spheres was created by a combination of SCP-4962-A and SCP-4962-B. This set of 6 new spheres was placed in SCP-4962-B, and all previous SCP-4962-

1738Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber. A special security team is to monitor the containment chamber 24 hours a day.
1739
1740The containment chamber is to be completely sealed, preventing any external access. It is to be kept well-lit, and the lighting must be changed at least once a week. SCP-4962 is to be fed twice daily through a special tube that is attached to the floor of the containment chamber. SCP-4962 must be fed two (2) times an hour, in order to prevent any further deterioration in its condition.
1741
1742Description: SCP-4962 is a large humanoid with a human face and a vaguely humanoid body. It appears to be male, but its face, features, and stature could not be confirmed. SCP-4962's skin, hair, and eyes are all colored white, and its eyes appear to be permanently closed. SCP-4962 has long arms and legs, and a muscular body.
1743
1744When speaking, and when in the presence of other personnel, SCP-4962 will emit a sound that is very similar to human speech. However, its voice is low-pitched and nasal, and it is difficult to identify. SCP-4962 will not respond to any verbal commands, and will not respond to physical contact with itself or others.
1745
1746When a subject who is not in the presence of SCP-4962 becomes aware of SCP-4962, they will experience a sudden loss of consciousness. After this happens, the subject will experience pain throughout their body. After this, the subject will begin to hallucinate the scene of a scene from the film The Prestige, with the main character being a man trapped in a white void and suffering from severe mental trauma.
1747
1748After the hallucination is complete, the subject will experience a period of amnesia for the next 48 hours, until they are able to remember what they saw and experienced. After the amnesia period has expired, the hallucination will begin to repeat itself every 48 hours.
1749
1750SCP-4962 was originally recovered during a raid on the residence of a suspected serial killer, known as "The Man in the Box". At the time, all of the contents of the apartment were found to be empty, save for SCP-4962. The raid was conducted after the subject had been subjected to an extensive examination, and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. The subject was taken to the Site-88 clinic in ████████, where SCP-4962 was discovered. SCP-4962 was returned to the containment chamber, where it has remained since.
1751
1752Addendum 4962-1: Incident 4962-1
1753
1754On 04/19/20██, Dr. ██████, a medical practitioner at Site-88, was taking tests and examinations of SCP-4962, when she began to feel ill. Upon returning to the containment chamber with Dr. ██████, Dr. ██████ reported that the subject had "gone to pieces", and had started to speak in tongues. She was rushed to Site-88, where she was administered Class-C amnestics, and SCP-4962 was recovered.
1755
1756Addendum 4962-2: Incident 4962-2
1757
1758On 06/29/20██, a security guard at Site-88, ██████ █████, was attempting to investigate a security breach at the site. Upon entering the containment chamber, he was immediately knocked unconscious by the sounds of SCP-4962's screaming. Upon waking up, he found that he had no memory of how he had gotten into the chamber, and that he was the only person in the room. Upon examining the security camera feed, he noticed that it had been shut off. His actions were later deemed suspect in the case of attempted murder. It was determined that the sound of SCP-4962's screams had been caused by the anomalous effects of SCP-4962, and that the subject had been exposed to SCP-4962 before the incident.
1759
1760Dr. █████ █████ was ordered to be removed from SCP-4962's containment, and was transported to Site-88 for a full psychiatric evaluation. The subject was taken to Site-88's psychiatric ward, where a containment cell was constructed for the subject.
1761
1762Addendum 4962-3: Incident 4962-3
1763
1764On 08/02/20██, Dr. ██████ was testing SCP-4962 in an attempt to determine the effects of SCP-4962 on its subject. At around 4:00pm, the subject started to experience headaches, and was unable to concentrate on the test. At around 5:00pm, this condition became more severe, and the subject began to hallucinate SCP-4962 and Dr. ██████. Upon awakening, the subject became unresponsive, and was taken to Site-88's psychiatric ward. Dr. █

1774Description: SCP-4962 is the collective designation for a number of anomalous objects recovered from a house in Portland, Oregon. The objects are an abandoned refrigerator, a microwave oven, a microwave oven, the kitchen sink, a refrigerator, a washing machine, a hair dryer, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a washer. The objects appear to be functional, and have no apparent anomalous properties on their own. They are all in a state of disrepair.
1775
1776SCP-4962 instances are not animate, nor do they possess any organic material or organelless structure. The instances do not have mouths, noses, or ears. The instances do not speak or have any other means of communication. There is no evidence or suggestion of bodily orifices or bodily functions. The instances are completely inactive, and do not show any evidence of biological activity. SCP-4962 instances show no signs of aging, and are not affected by chemical substances, heat, chemicals, or radiation.
1777
1778The first instance of SCP-4962 was recovered in the basement of a house in Portland, Oregon. The instance was a refrigerator, which contained a broken microwave oven. The oven was not operational, causing a microwave oven to appear in the basement. The oven was removed, and the refrigerator was replaced with a new microwave oven. The second instance of SCP-4962 was recovered in the basement of a house in Portland, Oregon. The second instance of SCP-4962 was a microwave oven, which contained a broken microwave oven. When the microwave oven was removed, a microwave oven appeared in the basement. The third instance of SCP-4962 was a refrigerator, which contained a partially-broken microwave oven. When the microwave oven was removed, the microwave oven appeared in the basement. The fourth instance of SCP-4962 was a microwave oven, which contained a partially-broken microwave oven. The microwave oven was removed, and the refrigerator was replaced with a new microwave oven. The fifth instance of SCP-4962 was a refrigerator, which contained a partially-broken microwave oven. The microwave oven was removed, and the refrigerator was replaced with a new microwave oven. The sixth instance of SCP-4962 was a washing machine, which contained a broken washing machine. The washing machine was removed, and discarded, with the exception of a broken washing machine.

1781
1782The instances of SCP-4962 are not affected by heat, chemicals, or radiation. The instances are immune to physical injury, but are susceptible to damage from electromagnetic radiation. When connected together, the instances are capable of communicating with each other. As of ██/██/2016, they have not yet been able to communicate with each other. Communication is limited to the use of simple facial expressions, and the occasional phrase. They appear to understand each other, and will attempt to communicate by attempting to move their hands in a manner that will make their facial expressions resemble each other. As of ██/██/2016, they do not appear to understand the meanings of many expressions. When connected together, they display the same expression in an attempt to communicate.

The whole country is.
1815
1816Google's chief executive, Larry Page, in a blog post about the company's results, said that employees in the U.S. are now making more money than those in the rest of the world combined.
1817
1818The company was able to do that, he says, because the U.S. allows it to pay some of its employees more than the others. (The average CEO-to-worker pay ratio at Google is 0.84.) He said that for the past three years, Google has not been paying employees more in the U.S. than in all other countries. This year, Page said, that changed.
1819
1820While that may seem like good news for Google employees, it could make for a tough time for people in the U.S. who don't want to move to another part of the country or even the world, as long as you're a programmer or software engineer, since the salary is tied to the cost of living and not the country in which you live.
1821
1822The question is whether the world of tech is becoming stagnant at all, or if all these tech companies are just doing what their counterparts in other industries have always done — making the most of all the advantages that the U.S. government has given them.
1823
1824In fact, it's not clear if Page is being honest when he says that the U.S. does not have any particular reason to pay more than anywhere else.
1825
1826In the U.S., the tax code is pretty favorable to the tech industry. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, companies like Google, Apple (AAPL), and Microsoft (MSFT) actually pay less in taxes than many other companies in the country.

The room is to be secured by a single Level 3 or higher personnel, and any personnel entering the room must be given a Class-A amnestics. The walls are to be covered by a plastic sheeting that is to be placed over the entire room before any personnel are allowed inside. Personnel may not enter the room without being briefed by Dr. ███████, who will only be allowed to enter as part of the containment procedures. Only staff with Level 3 or higher clearance are allowed to be in the room.
1834
1835All personnel entering the room are to wear an approved Level 3-A or Level 3-B uniform. They are not to talk to SCP-4962 for their entire shift, and they are not to communicate with SCP-4962 outside of the containment procedures.
1836
1837Description: SCP-4962 is a human female that has long, silvery hair and fair skin. It has a very strong build, and appears to be in her late 20s or early 30s. SCP-4962's eyes are green, and she has a very thick neck and a very long, thin neck that appears to be tied in a knot. SCP-4962's hands are roughly the size of a 10-inch kitchen knife; she is the only person of a normal height who has the ability to use this knife.
1838
1839SCP-4962 is extremely intelligent, and speaks fluent English. SCP-4962 has a tendency to speak to other individuals in the room in a very friendly manner. SCP-4962's speech consists primarily of the phrase "Hello, How are you?", and she has also used the expression "Oh, I'm well, I'm very well, I'm so well, I'm so well, I'm so well, I'm so well."
1840
1841SCP-4962 has also demonstrated what appear to be an increased sense of awareness, specifically when it comes to the physical, as well as a capacity to understand what is going on all around her.

She has also stated that it is her fate to die alone, and has expressed this desire in a way that has been interpreted as 'suicide'. During her interview, an autopsy was conducted on SCP-4962, and it was discovered that she had been dead for ██ years.
1846
1847SCP-4962 has shown no signs of anomalous properties other than her strong desire to die. All attempts to use SCP-4962's abilities to heal SCP-4962 have resulted in her death.

No person, or object, shall enter the room without written authorization from a researcher assigned to SCP-4962. SCP-4962's containment chamber must be maintained at all times and checked for safety by at least two security personnel at all times. The room is to be monitored at all times by security personnel on the premises, who are to report any changes to the containment chamber to Research Director Dr. ████.
1880
1881Description: SCP-4962 is a human female located in the northern portion of the [REDACTED]. SCP-4962's current status is unchanged from an individual who was born on the ██/█/█████/███████ of the current century, possessing anomalous characteristics, including a high degree of sapience, anomalous behavior, and a resistance against conventional measures of containment. SCP-4962's anomalous properties have yet to be fully observed, and are believed to be largely under human control.
1882
1883SCP-4962's anomalous properties manifest in two ways: SCP-4962's physical appearance, and the manner of her speech.
1884
1885SCP-4962 has an anomalous tendency to alter her appearance when interacting with others. SCP-4962 possesses an anomalous capacity for physical and mental adaptation to her surroundings – she will change the way she acts, speaks, and acts upon herself when she is exposed to various stimuli. These adaptations are entirely under her control. SCP-4962 is not to be allowed to interact with others unless she has been instructed that she is to do so, and SCP-4962 is to change her appearance upon being instructed. In the case of SCP-4962's physical appearance, SCP-4962 is not to change her appearance for more than three minutes without at least two staff members present.
1886
1887SCP-4962 displays no unusual knowledge of how to change her physical appearance or behavior, and is unable to express her knowledge of how to do so in any manner. However, it is believed that SCP-4962 does have a rudimentary knowledge of the nature of her transformation. SCP-4962 will change her appearance when SCP-4962 is exposed to a specific stimulus. In the case of SCP-4962's speech, SCP-4962 will change the way she speaks when exposed to a specific stimulus. The stimulus must be a verbal stimulus, which must be verbalized by a source other than SCP-4962. Any stimulus will have an effect upon SCP-4962's appearance and behavior. In the case of SCP-4962's physical appearance, SCP-4962 will change the way she appears and behaves, and the appearance and behavior of any human she interacts with.
1888
1889SCP-4962's voice is similar in nature to a human's. The voice has been described as a high-pitched and squeaky. SCP-4962 has been tested to be able to maintain her voice for up to two minutes before her vocal cords begin to fail her.
1890
1891SCP-4962 will change her appearance when speaking and/or listening to a specific stimulus. When SCP-4962 is exposed to a stimulus, she will change the way she acts, speaks, and behaves, and the appearance and behavior of any human she interacts with. SCP-4962 does not display any signs of awareness that this change is occurring, and will continue to change itself and/or its behavior in response to stimuli until the stimuli have been removed. SCP-4962 will react to a stimulus with no reaction by itself.
1892
1893SCP-4962's anomalous behavior was previously attributed to the effects of a combination of medications, vitamins, and medications given to SCP-4962 during the past two years. SCP-4962's behavior has changed since the time that these medications were given to her, and she currently displays no signs of self-awareness or any other anomalous behavior, indicating that SCP-4962 is under the effects of the above-mentioned medications in addition to her own anomalous behavior.
1894
1895SCP-4962 was recovered along with a dead child in ██████, ██████. SCP-4962 has been kept in the same containment chamber since her acquisition.

1897Addendum-4962-1: SCP-4962 was found sleeping inside of a hollowed-out tree on ██/██/████. The tree was approximately 40 feet in diameter, approximately 12 feet above the ground. Upon recovery, a note was found in SCP-4962's possession, written in ██████. The note was addressed to the Administrator of Site-14, and was addressed to the Administrator of Site-14. The note indicated that, while on the surface, SCP-4962 appeared to be the son of an engineer, SCP-4962

1910
1911SCP-4962-1's mouth makes a noise that sounds like a deep growl, which is consistent with the noise generated by SCP-4962-6. SCP-4962-1 is capable of producing this sound at any time, and has demonstrated it to be capable of producing it while unconscious.
1912
1913SCP-4962-2 is an enormous, humanoid sword which has a blade of approximately 1.4 meters in length. SCP-4962-2's blade is made of an unknown metal, which has an unknown crystalline structure. The blade is also capable of emitting a strong, extremely resonant frequency, which is detectable by any equipment capable of detecting high pitched sound.
1914
1915SCP-4962-2 also displays traits consistent with the "great warrior" archetype, and is depicted as being approximately 6 meters tall and wearing a full suit of full plate armor with the markings of the "mythic warrior" archetype. After a period of time, SCP-4962-2 will grow into a large, quadrupedal creature with a head adorned with a helm of unknown design, a tail, and a massive sword on its back. SCP-4962-2 is capable of producing this sound at any time, and has demonstrated it to be capable of producing it while unconscious.
1916
1917SCP-4962-3 is a mask which is approximately 2 meters in diameter and contains a single, empty eye. SCP-4962-3 is composed of a black-and-white mask, which shows signs of wear and tear, and appears to contain no eyes, nose, or mouth, and has been noted as appearing to be in "a state of disrepair". SCP-4962-3 has been noted to have various levels of intelligence, personality, and memories, with the most likely being a "scared" form. SCP-4962-3 is capable of emitting this sound at any time, and has demonstrated it to be capable of producing it while unconscious.
1918
1919SCP-4962 was discovered on ██/██/2014, when an SCP-4962-3 instance was found in the possession of SCP-███. SCP-4962-3 was recovered by the Foundation from SCP-███'s office after he had returned home from work to his apartment. SCP-4962-3's anomalous properties appeared to have been in effect since its creation when SCP-███ was unable to return to work following an altercation with his boss. SCP-4962-3 was found with several other SCP-4962-3 instances in the apartment, and was promptly transported to Site-██ for containment.
1920
1921When SCP-4962-3 was recovered, SCP-4962-2 and SCP-███ were not present. It is currently believed that SCP-4962-2 and SCP-███ are both deceased, and that SCP-4962-3 is currently under the custody of SCP-███. However, SCP-███ has denied this, and was given permission to leave Site-██.
1922
1923Addendum: Incident Report 4962-A
1924
1925On ██/██/2014, while in Site-██, SCP-███'s apartment was raided by local police, who discovered the following:
1926
1927In the living room, a deceased SCP-4962-3-1 instance was found.
1928
1929SCP-4962-3-2 was found in the kitchen, covered in blood. SCP-4962-3-2 has not been directly observed, but

1935Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is currently contained in a standard SCP-4962 containment cell at Site-19. Personnel are not to enter the containment cell unless specifically authorized by Level 4 personnel, and are to be prepared for a prolonged period of physical and psychological trauma which will be expected to take no less than two weeks. A small section of the containment cell's wall is to be painted with pictures of SCP-4962, as a security measure. SCP-4962 is to be supplied with enough water to ensure adequate hydration and adequate hydration is to be provided on demand. SCP-4962 is to be fed twice daily, and is to be allowed to leave the containment cell for the purposes of recreation. Any personnel who enters SCP-4962's containment cell for any reason are to be forcibly terminated in accordance to current ██████-Class Protocols.
1936
1937Description: SCP-4962 is a small, non-anomalous human child of unknown gender, age, and ethnicity, with the approximate physical appearance of a middle-aged Caucasian male. SCP-4962 also possesses a number of anomalous properties. SCP-4962 is unable to speak, but has several words and phrases that have been recorded in the form of text, and has been proven able to use these phrases in conversation, despite having limited verbal skills. SCP-4962 has also been observed to draw a number of symbols in the form of what seems to be a map, and has been seen to draw a number of patterns of symbols onto the walls of the containment cell. SCP-4962 has also been observed to make a number of vocalizations, but has been unable to articulate the sounds.
1938
1939SCP-4962's anomalous properties have been observed to manifest in its everyday life as well. SCP-4962's ability to draw and produce symbols and patterns is not limited to drawing, but has been demonstrated with objects such as pencils, paper, and markers. SCP-4962 also seems to be able to create complex designs for objects such as chairs, tables, and clocks, although these are far less complex than the designs that have been described to date. SCP-4962 is able to produce a number of shapes and patterns that are consistent with a number of various symbols, such as a square, a circle, and a cross. SCP-4962 has also been observed to make a number of vocalizations, such as singing and shouting.
1940
1941Addendum 4962-1: This is a transcript of a conversation that was recorded between SCP-4962 and Dr. ███████, one of the researchers working in SCP-4962's containment cell.
1942
1943Dr. ███████: Dr. ███████, this is Dr. ███████. We'd like to start with the physical side of things, as this is a somewhat different set of procedures than what I've seen before. Dr. ███████: Thank you. I'm not an expert in these things, but I can tell that these things are really interesting. SCP-4962: Thanks. I know it's not the most logical thing to do, but I'm still not sure how this would work. Dr. ███████: The basic idea is that, as you draw, SCP-4962 will repeat its drawing. SCP-4962: Well, if I'm drawing something that's a square, it will draw a square. SCP-4962: And if I'm drawing something that's a circle, it will draw a circle. Dr. ███████: It's not drawing to do that. It's repeating the design over and over again. SCP-4962: I guess. It's not like I have to be very precise. Dr. ███████: Are you still not sure? SCP-4962: It's not like I know what I'm doing. Dr. ███████: I'll explain all the details later. SCP-4962: Okay. Dr. ███████: Let's start by taking a look at these drawings. Please don't worry about me, I'm used to it. It's just that I'm an expert in drawing, and if I put a series of drawings together, it's always a little difficult to tell where one thing ends and the next begins. This is a series of drawings that I've made. Dr. ███████: Where did you get these? SCP-4962: Yeah, I got them from somewhere. I don't really remember where. But I think it was a place that had all sorts of drawings on the walls. Dr. ███████: You want me to take a look at them? SCP-4962: No, I guess you could, but I don't know if it would help. Dr. ███████: Okay. Now, these drawings and symbols, what are you doing? What are you drawing? SCP-4962: I'm

1949Special Containment Procedures: Any item or item of technology recovered from SCP-4962 is to be stored at Bio-Containment Site-54, Level 3 until SCP-4962 is fully secured.
1950
1951Description: SCP-4962 is a large, cylindrical object measuring 2.5m in diameter, with several distinct sections and a lid. SCP-4962 is composed of a single, black object, which does not match any known technology or construct.
1952
1953SCP-4962's anomalous properties are largely unknown, but it is believed to be a sentient entity, capable of perceiving human thoughts and speech. SCP-4962's only known behavior is to attempt to communicate with any personnel that approach it, by using their voice to communicate. SCP-4962's communication is generally only audible to personnel with a high-pitched voice. At least one member of the Foundation believes that SCP-4962 is a sentient and self-aware computer program.
1954
1955SCP-4962's anomalous properties manifest when an individual is close enough to it. When this happens, any individual within 3m of SCP-4962 will see a large, black silhouette of SCP-4962. At this point, the black image of SCP-4962 expands by several centimeters. After this point, it will begin to move in a random direction.
1956
1957At this point, SCP-4962 has been observed to begin to [REDACTED], while the individual continues to see a silhouette of SCP-4962. Once the silhouette has reached a predetermined distance, SCP-4962 will begin to speak.
1958
1959SCP-4962 is capable of speaking in several languages, including English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Romanian. SCP-4962 is capable of displaying a wide range of intelligent behavior, including basic conversation, simple math, and simple grammar. Most of these behaviors are limited to its own language, however, and are not understood by humans.
1960
1961SCP-4962 has been observed to communicate with individuals in several ways. These include:
1962
1963SCP-4962 will speak directly to personnel, using their voice.
1964
1965SCP-4962 will speak to any personnel who are on the same wavelength at a distance of 3m or less.
1966
1967SCP-4962 will communicate using a simple, non-specific language of its own, in the vicinity of personnel.
1968
1969SCP-4962 will use its own voice to speak with personnel in a variety of other ways, including, but not limited to,: communicating with SCP-4962's own head and eyes, communicating with SCP-4962 via a "remote" voice-to-nose-link, communicating with an individual via the telephone, communicating with an individual via a computer, and communicating with individuals via various electronic devices.
1970
1971SCP-4962 can communicate with a variety of technologies, including: computers, phones, televisions, and automobiles. SCP-4962 has shown the ability to use these technologies to communicate with personnel, and is not limited to using one specific technology. However, most technology SCP-4962 communicates with is not available to the general public.
1972
1973SCP-4962's ability to communicate with technology has proven to be a hindrance to the Foundation. SCP-4962's ability to communicate with non-human technology is often too complex for the Foundation's limited understanding of human language; SCP-4962's complex language often causes confusion and difficulty in communication. Additionally, SCP-4962's language often causes a great deal of confusion and difficulty in interpretation.
1974
1975For example, SCP-4962 has been seen to communicate with computer monitors and printers using its own language. Also, a number of instances of SCP-4962 have attempted to communicate through television sets and televisions, with the exception of the television that ███████ ██████ used to try and contact SCP-4962. SCP-4962 has also been seen to communicate with radio transmitters in an attempt to communicate with Foundation personnel, as well as to communicate with Foundation personnel through the telephone.
1976
1977SCP-4962 has been observed to communicate with individuals through various electronic devices, including: [REDACTED] devices, [REDACTED] computers, [REDACTED] cell phones, [REDACTED] televisions, and [REDACTED] automobiles.
1978
1979SCP-4962's ability to communicate with individuals has proven to be a hindrance to the Foundation.

1985Special Containment Procedures: In accordance with the recommendations of the Foundation-O5 Council of Directors, as well as the Foundation-O5 Interim Committee, the Foundation is to maintain a small group of personnel assigned to SCP-4962-1. To this end, the Foundation has established a Site-19-A Research Station in the region of Antarctica which is dedicated to the containment of SCP-4962-1.
1986
1987While SCP-4962-1 is currently not actively recruiting, it is to be under constant surveillance to ensure that no anomalous traits or behaviors develop within the group. In addition to this, SCP-4962-1 is to be administered a class D amnestic prior to testing with SCP-4962-1.
1988
1989All personnel assigned to the Site-19-A Research Station are to undergo extensive testing in order to detect any manifestations of anomalous behavior, and are to report any such phenomena to the Site Director immediately. Should SCP-4962-1 demonstrate any signs of instability, the researcher assigned to SCP-4962-1 is to be reassigned to a different research focus.
1990
1991Description: SCP-4962-1 describes an entity with the general appearance of a Caucasian female. SCP-4962-1 has a human skull-like appearance with the eyes and ears being replaced with a series of four different entities representing four major races of humanoids. These entities are designated SCP-4962-1a, -1b, and -1c. SCP-4962-1a is a fully-grown adult human in a standard humanoid costume; SCP-4962-1b is a young adult human in a standard humanoid costume; SCP-4962-1c is a juvenile human in a standard humanoid costume. SCP-4962-1a, -1b, and -1c act as living surrogates for SCP-4962-1, and, as such, are able to exhibit all of the behaviors and traits of SCP-4962-1.
1992
1993SCP-4962-1a, -1b, and -1c are able to perform all of the actions of SCP-4962-1 without the knowledge or consent of SCP-4962-1. However, to the best of the Foundation's knowledge, SCP-4962-1a, -1b, and -1c are not fully aware of the nature of their roles.
1994
1995SCP-4962-1a, -1b, and -1c are capable of telepathic communication with SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1a, -1b, and -1c are able to communicate with SCP-4962-1 in all languages known to humanity, with the exception of Japanese.
1996
1997SCP-4962-1a also displays the anomalous ability to "hear" SCP-4962-1, and SCP-4962-1a is able to communicate with SCP-4962-1 through SCP-4962-1's knowledge of all known languages. SCP-4962-1a does not appear to be aware of the nature of this ability, as the ability appears to be only apparent to SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1a is able to discern the specific language used for communication between SCP-4962-1 and SCP-4962-1.
1998
1999SCP-4962-1a was recovered from the village of [REDACTED], South Korea, on ██/██/20██. All of the villagers had been slaughtered by SCP-4962-1. The villagers of the village were all slaughtered within three days of the event.
2000
2001The village had been completely abandoned upon the discovery of the event. No trace of any SCP-4962-1 had been found in the town of [REDACTED].
2002
2003The villagers were all members of the same race (Konkwon) as SCP-4962-1, and they believed that the village had been wiped out by a group of monsters that appeared from the sky in the middle of the night.
2004
2005In the year 20██, residents of [REDACTED] came across a corpse with the remains of SCP-4962-1 after it was discovered that SCP-4962-1 had no family members. The corpse was incinerated. SCP-4962-1 had been dead for ██ years. A Foundation agent, Dr. L.E.B.K. (aka "Dr. B.K.", alias "Teddy Bear"), was assigned to SCP-4962-1.
2006
2007Addendum: On ██/██/20██, Foundation personnel were called to investigate the disappearance of SCP-4962-1. Foundation operatives found SCP-4962-1's remains in a nearby forest.
2008
2009After autopsy, it was found that SCP-4962-1 had been decapitated and

2015Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be stored in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-81. A standard humanoid containment cell is to be provided for each D-class subject under study. All D-class with more than one SCP-4962-1 instance are to be kept in the same cell at any given time. D-class subjects are to be provided with a standard humanoid containment cell on each visit to Site-81. SCP-4962-1 instances are to be monitored at all times by at least one Level 3 personnel. In the event of an accidental breach, an armed assault is to be initiated.
2016
2017Description: SCP-4962 is a pattern of human skin with unique physical markings. The markings on SCP-4962 are not present on any other normal human. SCP-4962-1 instances are typically human in appearance, and are usually found in the flesh of the human subject with SCP-4962. SCP-4962-1 instances can be divided into two sub-types: SCP-4962-1A and SCP-4962-1B. SCP-4962-1A is found in the upper torso, upper arms and elbows, and in the hands and forearms. SCP-4962-1A instances are typically in the shape of a humanoid with a human torso, upper torso, and arms. SCP-4962-1B is found in the lower torso, lower arms and elbows, and in the hands and forearms. SCP-4962-1B instances are typically in the shape of a humanoid with arms and legs. SCP-4962-1B instances have no clear physical features, and are only visible under a black light.
2018
2019SCP-4962-1 instances can be used to identify human subjects with SCP-4962 by analyzing the subject's skin. Using an infrared camera, a person with SCP-4962 can be identified by the presence of SCP-4962-1A, as well as by the skin patterns of SCP-4962-1B. However, subjects with SCP-4962 not only have skin patterns different from those observed with SCP-4962-1A, but also from those observed with SCP-4962-1B. SCP-4962-1B instances are not affected by the black light of the camera.
2020
2021SCP-4962 is capable of altering its appearance at will. When in the presence of a live human subject with SCP-4962-1A, SCP-4962's appearance changes to a human torso with human hands. If a subject has SCP-4962-1B, SCP-4962 will manifest in humanoid form with a human torso, arms and head. SCP-4962-1B instances do not display the same physical traits as any other human. When a subject is not in contact with a live human subject with SCP-4962-1A, SCP-4962 appears in humanoid form with a human torso, arms and legs. SCP-4962 is capable of changing its appearance at will. When in the presence of a live human subject with SCP-4962-1B, SCP-4962's appearance will change to a human torso with human hands, and a human head will appear between the shoulders.
2022
2023SCP-4962's physical traits are determined by the number of SCP-4962-1 instances present in the subject. A subject with SCP-4962-1A and one SCP-4962-1B instance will show the physical traits of a human, but will have the exact number of SCP-4962-1 instances in the subject's body. A subject with SCP-4962-1B and two SCP-4962-1A instances will have the physical traits of a humanoid with an unknown number of SCP-4962-1 instances, though the exact number of SCP-4962-1 instances in the subject's body will not change. However, if SCP-4962-1A and SCP-4962-1B are separated for an extended period of time, the number of SCP-4962-1 instances in the subject's body will increase exponentially.<|endoftext|>A couple of weeks ago, we published an article about a new way of using a traditional game of poker in a browser (and on the web in particular). In this article, I'm going to review what we learned using the game of poker in this browser version and how the game actually changes the way people play poker.

2025The most obvious difference between this version and the browser version is that you can play it from the start (which is a very big deal!).

2035Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard containment chamber with a temperature of 77 degrees Celsius, and a humidity of 90%. The chamber is to be kept at this temperature and humidity for a period of three months, as there is no proven method to prevent the growth of SCP-4962. However, SCP-4962 tends to regenerate, and it does not appear to require a constant temperature and humidity.
2036
2037The interior of the containment chamber is to be treated with insecticides, as they tend to cause SCP-4962 to produce more of its own body chemicals. The chamber is to be monitored daily by two armed armed guards who are to be on standby for up to five days, with the intent of eliminating SCP-4962 within the chamber. When SCP-4962 is located at its current location, it is to be removed from the containment chamber, and it is to be fed with a mixture of rice, barley and wheat, in order to force SCP-4962 to begin to consume itself (see Addendum SCP-4962-1).
2038
2039Whenever SCP-4962 is seen moving around, it is to be observed on a video monitor, as it may indicate an opportunity to attack.
2040
2041Description: SCP-4962 is a human female, of unknown age, height and weight. SCP-4962 is 6'3", is of average build, and has a thin, wavy, black mane of hair. The hair does not grow on its head, and its eyes have been observed to be green.
2042
2043SCP-4962's face is covered in sharp, pointed teeth, and its teeth appear to be made of unknown, hard, metal substance. SCP-4962 has an extremely sharp, venomous mouth, and it has shown the ability to paralyze its victim by biting at the neck, as well as the throat. SCP-4962's body contains an anomalous substance, which allows it to regenerate at an accelerated rate, and allow its victim to live for up to 30 minutes after being bitten, and up to five days after being attacked.
2044
2045SCP-4962 was originally found in a remote area of the ██████ Mountains in ███████, ███, and was discovered to be in possession of a wooden carving of a human skull, a piece of a wooden horse with a leather bridle, and a wooden horse harness. It was discovered that SCP-4962 was not the owner of these artifacts, as they were in the possession of a local farmer, and that these items had been taken to SCP-4962 by mistake.
2046
2047SCP-4962 was taken to Site-██ for further study.
2048
2049Addendum SCP-4962-1: It is unknown what exactly SCP-4962 possesses, but it seems to possess some unique characteristics that allow it to be dangerous. SCP-4962 is extremely fast, and is capable of moving very quickly, and is able to run for extended periods. SCP-4962 will never stop moving, and will never stop attacking its victim. SCP-4962 is capable of regenerating its body parts, and will regenerate from the head and neck, to anywhere on its body. Since SCP-4962 rarely attacks in its current location, it is currently unknown whether or not SCP-4962 will regenerate if its current location is attacked by a larger object.
2050
2051SCP-4962 is highly intelligent, and is able to reason with its victims, and communicate. SCP-4962 has shown the ability to create different types of sounds, and has shown the ability to "talk" to people. SCP-4962's words are also difficult to understand, and it is unclear how it is able to understand language, but it is known that it is able to understand the sounds of its own voice.
2052
2053SCP-4962 has shown the ability to regenerate any part of its body, and has shown the ability to use its new parts to attack its victims. SCP-4962 has shown the ability to create and control its own body chemicals, and has shown the ability to regenerate organs. SCP-4962's primary form of attack is to bite its victims, and then inject its body chemicals, which allow it to regenerate the body parts. It will also heal any organ damage that it has. SCP-4962 was able to regenerate its body parts from its head, neck, and chest, and has shown the ability to regenerate from the back of its neck. This ability has not been observed in SCP-4962's original form.
2054
2055SCP-4962 is not known to be capable of eating other objects, nor does it seem to need to eat regularly. SCP-4962 has been observed to eat other objects, but has not demonstrated any desire to eat human tissue. SCP-4962 has been observed to produce a chemical in its body that allows it to heal wounds, when injured.

2063Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is to monitor all known instances of SCP-4962. If an instance of SCP-4962 is discovered in the course of its exploration, Foundation operatives are to contact local authorities and inform them of the anomaly and its potential to result in casualties. Any personnel who discover an instance of SCP-4962 are to immediately contact medical personnel for treatment. If the instance of SCP-4962 is confirmed to be a new instance of SCP-4962, all personnel are to undergo a psychological evaluation to determine if they are fit to continue their duties.
2064
2065Description: SCP-4962 is a phenomenon affecting the body of a living human. The cause of SCP-4962's effect is unknown, but is likely a combination of factors. It seems that SCP-4962 is a phenomenon originating from the mind of a humanoid human. It is believed that SCP-4962 can only affect a human's mind, as it has never affected the bodies of living organisms. SCP-4962's effect is to cause the human to experience the sensation of being in a completely different city, country or space. The exact nature of SCP-4962's effect is currently unknown, although it has been hypothesised to be related to the mind, as it has never been observed to affect physical objects.
2066
2067The only physical effect that SCP-4962 causes is the sensation of having traveled to a completely different place and time. Although SCP-4962 does not appear to travel in any particular direction, it can be assumed that SCP-4962 travels in a straight line. This has a physical effect on the individuals that are affected by SCP-4962. The number of individuals that are affected by SCP-4962 are dependent on the distance that SCP-4962 travels, but its effect seems to be a decrease in the number of individuals in the affected area. Currently, the furthest known distance that SCP-4962 has traveled with a single individual is 7,400 km.
2068
2069Due to SCP-4962's effect, the individuals affected by SCP-4962 will experience the sensation of being in a completely different location in the physical world, and will experience a sense of time travel. The individual will be able to observe and interact with their surroundings as if they were at the time and place that they are at now. The affected individuals will have no memory of their original location or their current time, and will be unaware of the fact that they are in a different place or time. The individuals affected by SCP-4962 may also sense changes in other people. However, it is not known if this is caused by the same effect as the physical sensation of time travel.
2070
2071It is currently theorised that SCP-4962 affects the minds of members of the human species due to the nature of the subject. Although SCP-4962 does not seem to affect physical objects, it seems to be able to affect the minds of living individuals. It is unknown if SCP-4962 affects any biological organisms other than humans. It is theorized that SCP-4962's effect can cause the minds of humans to change into those of SCP-4962. Any changes made in the minds of humans affected by SCP-4962 will result in them becoming SCP-4962, unless they have been affected by an alternate, non-anomalous cause.
2072
2073SCP-4962 was first discovered on 6/04/19██, when a human male was found in a large crowd in Cairo, Egypt. The individual, who was found to have been wearing a shirt that was similar to, but different from, the clothing that had been worn by SCP-4962, stated that he was in a different city from where he was, and had been in Cairo for three days. He claimed that he had not been to Egypt nor Cairo for three whole days. He also stated that he did not feel any pain, sickness or discomfort during this period, and that he was able to hear people talking and even see people. The individual was quickly diagnosed as missing, and was sent to the clinic for observation.
2074
2075On 8/04/19██, three years later, the same individual was discovered in the same location, but this time he was wearing an apron and had a large scarf wrapped around his head. The individual stated that he had been in Cairo for three days, and was feeling very weak. He also stated that he was in the middle of a large crowd. This individual was also diagnosed as missing. The three individuals were taken to the clinic for observation. Three years later, on 01/11/20██, the two individuals that were in the same room as SCP-4962 were found to have been infected with SCP-4962.

2087Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a locked safe in Site-19. SCP-4962's safe is to be locked from the outside with a standard key, and is to be kept on a non-anomalous soundproofing level of 5. SCP-4962's safe is to have a lock on the outside that cannot be opened. Under no circumstances are any items not designated SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962's safe is to be monitored and checked on a daily basis. Any item designated SCP-4962-1 for examination is to be placed inside SCP-4962's safe. Any item not designated SCP-4962-1 is to be confiscated and destroyed. No other items are to be given to SCP-4962.
2088
2089Description: SCP-4962 is an unmarked white, paperweight with a number on the back. SCP-4962's number is ███████. SCP-4962's anomalous properties begin when a document in SCP-4962-1 is opened. SCP-4962-1 is a handwritten book, written using the first-year Foundation script. The writing is in archaic English and contains a series of phrases and sentences. SCP-4962-1 and the book that it is contained in are not currently understood to be associated with one another.
2090
2091When a document in SCP-4962-1 is opened, a new copy of SCP-4962-1 is written over the previous one. The original copy of SCP-4962-1 is destroyed when SCP-4962-1 is opened.
2092
2093SCP-4962-1 is always written on the first-year Foundation script. This script is a reference to the first year of SCP-4962's containment. While on its own, SCP-4962-1 does not appear to have any anomalous properties. SCP-4962-1 is usually handwritten in ink, and is written in the same style of writing that was used when SCP-4962 was discovered.
2094

2097The following is a list of items that were given to SCP-4962 when it was discovered.
2098
2099Item Description SCP-3954 The object does not appear to have any anomalous properties.
2100
2101Item Description SCP-4701 A small, white, ceramic statue of a cat. The statue appears to be missing one of its eyes. SCP-4809 A small, white, ceramic statue of a man. The statue appears to be missing one of its arms. SCP-2441 A hand-written note on paper, that appears to be a list of items found in SCP-991. SCP-1331 A plastic container containing a small amount of liquid. The liquid appears to be human blood. SCP-5113 A small, black, plastic bottle containing a yellow, crystalline-looking substance. The substance appears to be a liquid composed of a mixture of unknown substances. The substance appears to be a liquid with a high pH. SCP-1334 A thin, metallic rod. It has not been determined how the rod was created. SCP-4352 A small, wooden box. In the box is the remains of several corpses. The remains appear to have been completely removed from their original bodies. SCP-3412 A small wooden box. A number 3-4-2-4-5-6-7-8-10-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20-21-22 imprinted on the box appears to correspond exactly to the number of SCP-4962-1 documents that are currently contained in SCP-4962. SCP-4962-1 Documents can be opened by any personnel who possesses the proper level of clearance, and the pages are usually made of ordinary paper. SCP-4962-1 documents appear to be copies of the original documents, except they have been replaced with the SCP-4962-1 document. SCP-4962-1 documents are written in a language that cannot be translated. If a document has been opened, it will be replaced with a new copy of the document. For example, if an SCP-4962-1 document has been opened, and the page has been replaced with a new copy of the same document, the original SCP-4962-1 document will be replaced with a new copy of the document. SCP-4962-1 documents are always dated, and contain information about the SCP-4962-1 objects that have not yet been released. SCP-4962-1 documents are written in the same archaic English that was used when the SCP-4962 object was found. SCP-4962-1 documents can be read by personnel with level 3 clearance.<|endoftext|>The following blog post, unless otherwise noted, was written by a member of Gamasutra's community.

2111Description: SCP-4962 is a piece of antique furniture, circa 1830, manufactured in England. It bears the original manufacturer's stamp with its number, "5.4962", and no other distinguishing marks. The furniture is composed of a large white porcelain bowl, with a black handle and a plain blue cloth-covered top. The base is made of wood, with a wooden spoon inside, and the top is made by covering it with a yellow felt lining. The bowl has a small hole on the top, which is a small hole, but not enough to allow an object to fit into the bowl. A small metal plaque, showing a picture of an old man, with a bow tie, is affixed to the top with an adhesive sticker, and is attached to a metal hook on the back.
2112
2113SCP-4962 has no anomalous properties aside from being an empty porcelain bowl, which does not contain any other objects. SCP-4962 is to be kept in a secure storage locker at Site-██, under observation at all times.

2117SCP-4962 has been found in a variety of places, with the most frequent instances found in the United States, England, France, and South Africa. Despite the fact that SCP-4962 is classified as a "dietary item" by the United States Department of Agriculture, no records of its usage have been found.<|endoftext|>The U.S. Army is currently running an online survey to determine which of its soldiers will be the subject of a new video game.
2118
2119The survey, which is open until July 17, asks whether any individual soldier is "overweight or obese." As the Army does with all its surveys, there is no requirement to elaborate on the reasons for the question.
2120
2121The results of the survey are currently being analyzed, and will be released in a few weeks, according to the Army.
2122
2123The survey comes as the Army is working with the Office of the Surgeon General to develop a policy for treating obesity and other health issues. The Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases is conducting a study to determine whether it is possible to design a vaccine or drug for obesity.
2124
2125In response to the survey, Army officials said last week that the service would create a video game and app to help soldiers reduce their weight.
2126
2127The Army's new strategy could have implications for soldiers serving in combat, where weight is a serious problem.
2128
2129The Army said that more than half of its troops are overweight or obese.
2130
2131The service announced last month that it had made a similar attempt to reduce the number of overweight soldiers with a new policy that requires troops to lose weight before they are deployed to a combat zone. Under the new policy, which is expected to take effect in July, troops will be allowed to weigh themselves less often before leaving the barracks.
2132
2133The Army is also developing a new video game, which would include virtual reality and other technologies, to help soldiers lose weight.
2134
2135The new policy is expected to cost about $5.5 million and was approved by the Army's top echelon on Dec. 1.
2136
2137The survey is part of the Army's effort to increase awareness about its weight problems, and to help soldiers lose weight.<|endoftext|>A new study has found that the number of people who die from suicide in the U.S. has fallen by more than half in the last 25 years.
2138
2139In the study, published in the American Journal of Public Health, researchers found that suicide rates fell 24 percent from 1999 to 2010. The number of suicides fell by 12 per 100,000 people and the rate of people hospitalized due to suicide decreased by 34 percent.
2140
2141Researchers also found that the number of people who died by suicide overall dropped by 18 percent from 1999 to 2010. The number of people who died by suicide in the U.S. from 1999 to 2010 fell by more than half, from 914,000 to 682,000.
2142
2143"I think it's important to have conversations about mental health and suicide prevention, but I think it's equally important to have conversations about how people in this country can live smarter lives and live longer, healthier lives and not die by suicide," lead researcher Dr. David Healy of Harvard Medical School said in a press release. "We were surprised at how many different things we needed to change to have a significant impact on suicide rates."
2144
2145The number of suicides in the U.S. is currently at epidemic levels. According to the World Health Organization, there were around 1.33 million suicides worldwide in 2014. The U.S. has nearly double the rate of suicide as the world average.

2153Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-██. No personnel are to be allowed access to SCP-4962 without authorization.
2154
2155Description: SCP-4962 is a human male of average height and weight. SCP-4962 has no distinguishing features, aside from a relatively small head and a protruding nose. SCP-4962 has a body made entirely of steel and covered in intricate carvings. It is presumed that SCP-4962 was a member of an art-class civilization. SCP-4962's anomalous properties manifest when any item of clothing worn by SCP-4962 is removed from its body and placed in its mouth.
2156
2157When SCP-4962 removes an item of clothing from its body, that item becomes permanently inside the mouth of SCP-4962. SCP-4962 will typically remove the item of clothing using its tongue. When SCP-4962 removes an object from its mouth, SCP-4962 will remove that item of clothing from its body, and re-attach the object to the area around its mouth. When SCP-4962 removes an item from its body, SCP-4962 will often use its mouth to chew on the object. Because SCP-4962 must have access to objects in order for SCP-4962 to be able to remove them from its mouth, objects that are not in reach of SCP-4962 will not be removed by SCP-4962.
2158
2159Once an object in SCP-4962's mouth has been removed, the object will have no effect on SCP-4962. It will still receive the benefits of the item attached to its mouth, although it will not be able to use it in the manner it originally had. This has proven to be true whether or not SCP-4962 possesses an item. If SCP-4962 is able to remove an item from its mouth, it will be able to use the item in a manner similar to its original form until it is unable to use it, at which point the object will disappear.
2160
2161SCP-4962 is not capable of removing items that were not in its mouth at the time. For example, it does not possess an ability to remove weapons such as a battle axe.
2162
2163SCP-4962 is known to have removed one item from its mouth during its containment, which was a set of swords, which it has referred to as its 'sword arm'. This item was removed by SCP-4962 using its teeth. There have been no indications of other objects of this type being removed from SCP-4962's mouth. Attempts at obtaining or modifying another object of this type have failed.
2164
2165Addendum: SCP-4962 was discovered a month after Incident-4962-01, the removal of which was originally theorized to have been the work of a man from the SCP Foundation.
2166
2167SCP-4962 was first brought to Foundation attention on 03/21/████ when it was revealed that SCP-4962 was capable of removing items from its mouth. This incident was deemed to have no bearing on the containment of SCP-4962.<|endoftext|>The new version of K-Lite Codec Pack for HD Video, VLC Media Player 4, is the latest version of K-Lite Codec Pack for HD Video, which is a free and open source software for video playback.

2199Description: SCP-4962 is a large, humanoid creature with a mass of approximately one metric tonne. SCP-4962's head is composed of an upper jaw, a lower jaw, and two (2) pairs of ears. The lower jaw is comprised of the lower incisors, the upper incisors, and the canines. The upper incisors are a black color, whilst the lower incisors are cyan in color. SCP-4962 has multiple, narrow, needle-like teeth, each measuring approximately 2 cm in length. SCP-4962's lower jaw is composed of a single, large, circular tongue. The tongue contains two (2) sets of sensory organs. SCP-4962's tongue has a single, large, set of sensory organs which are capable of perceiving electromagnetic radiation. The tongue contains a pair of oval, black, eyes. SCP-4962 has a thin upper lip, a slightly thicker lower lip, and three (3) sets of nostrils. SCP-4962's upper lip is composed of a set of small, round teeth which are capable of piercing through a human skull. SCP-4962's nose is a set of small, black, pin-like teeth. SCP-4962's eyes are a pair of small, round, pin-like teeth. SCP-4962's eyelids are a pair of small, pin-like teeth. SCP-4962's lips are composed of a pair of pin-like teeth. SCP-4962's palms and soles are a pair of pin-like teeth.
2200
2201SCP-4962 is capable of speaking using vocal chords located on the top of its head. SCP-4962 is capable of speaking in a series of clicks and a series of words. SCP-4962 has been observed to speak in English, Spanish, French, German, Latin, and the Japanese language. SCP-4962 has been observed to speak in the following formats:

2224
2225SCP-4962, if exposed to daylight, will enter into a state of near-constant agitation, and begin to emit an unknown radio signal. The radio signal will broadcast a message that will consist of static for ██ minutes. The message is in the form of a song, but is in fact composed of random words and random characters. The song will be played continuously for ██ minutes.
2226
2227If SCP-4962 is exposed to an airlock, it will enter into a state of panic, and will attempt to exit. This effect will occur even when SCP-4962 has not seen or heard a human for ██ minutes. The airlock will be opened, and SCP-4962 will immediately attempt to leave. The airlock will open again, and SCP-4962 will enter another state where it will begin screaming and repeatedly banging its head against the door. This cycle will continue indefinitely, unless SCP-4962 is restrained.
2228
2229SCP-4962 will be removed to the medical wing of the Site-██ Medical Facility, where a Class-D personnel is to be present at all times. SCP-4962's containment cells are to be located on the fourth and fifth floors of Site-██. A Class-D Personnel with Level 3 clearance is to be present at all times.
2230
2231Description: SCP-4962, an unidentified humanoid who is of European ancestry, is a humanoid male. SCP-4962's appearance varies depending on whether it is in its normal state of agitation, or in its agitation state of perpetual agitation. The agitation state of SCP-4962 appears to be genetically determined. SCP-4962 is physically unharmed by the agitation, unless it is contained.
2232
2233SCP-4962's agitation behavior appears to be triggered by the exposure to light. It will display a variety of symptoms, depending on the time of day in which it is exposed to light. The symptoms that SCP-4962 will manifest when exposed to light during its agitation state vary depending on the time of day in which it is exposed. Most of the symptoms have the following pattern:
2234
2235SCP-4962 will emit a radio signal.
2236
2237The radio signal will broadcast an unknown song.
2238
2239The song will be played continuously for ██ minutes.
2240
2241SCP-4962 will begin to display the symptom of nausea.
2242
2243SCP-4962 will become agitated.
2244
2245SCP-4962 will exit from the agitation state.
2246
2247In other words, SCP-4962 will begin to sing a song in which it repeatedly sings "Hello, Hello, Goodbye" and repeatedly bangs its head against its cell door in a manner similar to that of a chimpanzee. It remains in the agitation state until a Class-D personnel opens the airlock, or until it is restrained.
2248
2249SCP-4962 will begin to enter its agitation state if it is exposed to light between 12:00 and 17:59 hours, and will exit the agitation state in the morning. The agitation state of SCP-4962 appears to be a result of the radio signal, which appears to have a physiological effect on SCP-4962.
2250
2251SCP-4962 is not to be exposed to any physical activity for ██ hours. It is necessary to close SCP-4962's doors while SCP-4962 is in its agitation state, and lock the door.
2252
2253SCP-4962 was recovered in ███████, Brazil, on 11/03/18, after an incident in which an unknown object entered SCP-4962's containment unit and was discovered by security personnel. SCP-4962 and one other humanoid were located in a storage unit and recovered. Both humanoid objects were missing a majority of their limbs. After the investigation, it was found that only one of the humanoid objects remained, and it manifested a desire to leave the containment area. After the object was restrained, the other humanoid object showed the same type of behavior.
2254
2255SCP-4962 will not enter containment if its containment cell is opened. It instead will enter into its agitation state, and will emit a radio signal and attempt to leave. The object will attempt to cause the airlock to open, or the doors to be unlocked, by banging its head against the outer walls of the containment area, as well as trying to force its way out by banging its head against the walls of the containment area.
2256
2257The object will attempt to exit if it is restrained. SCP-4962 will attempt to escape by banging its head against the outer walls of the containment area, or by trying to force its way out of the containment area.
2258
2259The object appears to be physically unharmed by the confinement. It will attempt to reach out to the containment unit, but

2265Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment locker. The locker is currently located at Site-19.
2266
2267Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid entity with a mass of about 1.5 kg. SCP-4962 possesses human-like features, including a single eye and human-like hair. It is capable of speech, although it is infrequently able to articulate its words. SCP-4962 seems to be able to move around the containment locker by itself, and has been observed playing around with small objects, such as keys.
2268
2269SCP-4962 has displayed difficulty communicating in the past, but has learned to communicate in a consistent fashion. It is able to speak in English, and is able to communicate with individuals who have a similar appearance to himself. This may indicate that SCP-4962 can have a "fuzzy" brain, or that his perception of reality is not as stable as it appears to be.
2270
2271SCP-4962 has shown no signs of sapience, and will not engage in conversation with other humans. No other anomalies have been noted that indicate a connection to SCP-4962.
2272
2273Addendum: As of ██/██/████, Agent [REDACTED] was able to successfully "persuade" SCP-4962 to "play" with the keys in his containment locker in an attempt to escape. Agent [REDACTED] was able to "persuade" SCP-4962 to "play" with the keys because he understood that the keys fit into SCP-4962's hands.
2274
2275Addendum 2: On ██/██/████, SCP-4962 was removed from his containment locker and placed in a standard humanoid containment locker at Site-19 in a different location.
2276
2277Addendum 3: On ██/██/████, when Agent [REDACTED] did not return to SCP-4962's containment locker, Agent [REDACTED] used a small radio receiver to transmit a message to SCP-4962, which was then played back. The message was in the form of a series of words, but was never repeated.
2278
2279SCP-4962 has responded to Agent [REDACTED]'s transmission with various responses, ranging from a statement that he "gets tired" when he is forced to listen, to a statement that he "gets bored" when he is forced to listen to it. However, other responses have been equally inconsistent. For example:
2280
2281SCP-4962: "You're gonna be bored."
2282
2283Agent [REDACTED]: "Why?"
2284
2285SCP-4962: "It's boring. Not fun."
2286
2287Agent [REDACTED]: "Why is it boring?"
2288
2289SCP-4962: "It's boring. You can't even have fun!"
2290
2291Agent [REDACTED]: "Why would it be boring? It's a game!"
2292
2293SCP-4962: "You can't do things that are boring."
2294
2295Agent [REDACTED]: "Really?"
2296
2297SCP-4962: "No. There is no such thing as a boring thing."
2298

2343Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is kept in a standard containment chamber, which is stocked with a variety of foodstuffs. Foundation personnel are to be kept at least 200 meters away from SCP-4962, to prevent any accidental contact.
2344
2345Description: SCP-4962 is the collective designation for a series of six (6) items, which possess properties resembling that of a variety of magical amulets. SCP-4962 have no properties beyond the mere presence of SCP-4962.
2346
2347When SCP-4962 is worn, a strange effect will occur. The wearer will be able to communicate with SCP-4962-1 , a creature that looks similar to an animal, but with the head of a human and multiple tendrils sprouting from its torso. SCP-4962-1 will also be able to mimic the speech patterns of the wearer, but will speak in a variety of foreign languages. This effect can last for up to ten hours after SCP-4962 is removed from the wearer's chest.
2348
2349When SCP-4962-1 is removed from the wearer's chest, the effect will cease. However, if the wearer is still in contact with the creature, it will attempt to move onto the ground, presumably to find a place to eat and reproduce.

2439Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be housed in a locked room in Site-██. SCP-4962 must be kept within the walls of this room at all times. SCP-4962 must not be allowed to leave this room for any reason without approval of Level 3 personnel. SCP-4962 must be fed a sufficient amount of human meat. SCP-4962 must be provided a daily supply of fresh water.
2440
2441Description: SCP-4962 is the corpse of the former owner of the ██████████ Club in ██████████, ██, ██████. SCP-4962 appeared to have been dead for ten years prior to being found. It is believed to be a late stage of a long-term illness, possibly cancer. SCP-4962 is 5'11" (170 cm) in height and weighs approximately 100 pounds (45 kilograms).
2442
2443SCP-4962 exhibits all of the physical characteristics of a healthy male. However, SCP-4962 has the ability to enter and exit the physical world through the use of a physical body. SCP-4962 has been seen to appear as an elderly woman, a young boy, and a middle-aged man.
2444
2445SCP-4962's appearance is believed to be caused by a form of parapsychological phenomenon known as "Paranormal Perception". This phenomenon can be activated through the use of hallucinogens.
2446
2447SCP-4962's ability to use the physical world appears to have been triggered by the use of hallucinogens. SCP-4962 has been found to be able to use these hallucinogens to change its appearance, and even alter its state of mind. When SCP-4962 appears as an elderly woman, it is able to use her appearance to hide itself and hide from its perceived enemies. When it appears as a child, SCP-4962 is able to control its appearance to appear more appealing.
2448
2449SCP-4962 has been found to be able to enter the physical world by placing its hands on the table of the ██████████ Club, moving around the room at will, and moving the paper cups around. It has been found that it is able to move objects through the use of its body in a manner that is similar to the way a human would move. SCP-4962 has been observed to pick up and drop objects without any difficulty, and when objects are moved by SCP-4962, it causes similar movements of SCP-4962 itself. SCP-4962 has been observed to move objects or people through the use of its body in the manner of a normal human would act.
2450
2451SCP-4962's use of its physical body has been demonstrated when SCP-4962 is allowed to move things onto its body, such as pieces of paper, a fork, or a glass of water. SCP-4962 has demonstrated the ability to remove objects, move objects from one place to another, and pick up objects. It has also demonstrated the ability to open and close its eyes when an object is placed onto its body, and to open and close its eyes during a sensory deprivation tank session without affecting its movements in any way.
2452
2453SCP-4962 has been observed to pick up and throw objects around. SCP-4962 has demonstrated the ability to throw objects and people around at speeds of at least ██.█ mph, and has also demonstrated the ability to cause objects to move at speeds of at least ██.█ mph. SCP-4962 also has demonstrated the ability to perform feats of acrobatic dexterity while using its body as a means of transportation.
2454
2455SCP-4962 is usually able to move at speeds of at least ██.█ mph. However, when it is injured, its speed is reduced to an approximate ██.█ mph. When SCP-4962 has an injury, it is able to use the physical body to heal it at an accelerated rate. It has been observed that when SCP-4962 undergoes surgery, its speed is reduced to an approximate ██.█ mph.
2456
2457SCP-4962's abilities while it uses the physical body to heal itself are as follows:
2458
2459Movement Speed Increase: SCP-4962 is able to make motions at speeds of at least ██.█ mph. An accurate measurement of this speed is impossible.
2460

2473Special Containment Procedures: A 1 m x 2 m x 1 m room containing SCP-4962 is to be kept on an air-tight level of security with a security camera monitoring the room and the air. A security team of one (1) Level 4 personnel is to monitor the room, and will enter the room for any inspection or any necessary check with a Level 2 personnel. A Class-D personnel is to be present at all times for any emergency in the containment room. No electronic devices are to be used inside the room. Personnel are to be advised that SCP-4962 is a very dangerous anomalous object and is to be handled with extreme care.
2474
2475Description: SCP-4962 is a large, dark bronze statue composed of a single piece of silver, with a gold medallion inscribed with the words "Prayer to the One Who is to be Saved" at its center. The statue is approximately 20 cm x 20 cm x 6 cm, and is hollow inside. The inner structure of the statue is a gold-plated steel-reinforced concrete block and a thin layer of concrete, the outer casing is a black metal band. SCP-4962 has been designated SCP-4962-1, and has been classified as Keter-class after the Foundation discovered that the statue contained a mechanism capable of opening its outer casing. Inside the casing is a steel-reinforced concrete chamber with an inner steel chamber containing a large chamber with a small hole in it, and a small bronze door, covered in a gold-plated metal, fitted with a standard lock and key. Personnel entering SCP-4962-1 must pass through the inner steel chamber into the inner chamber of SCP-4962-1, before entering the bronze door and unlocking it. The inner chamber of SCP-4962-1 is a large room, approximately 4 m x 7 m x 2.5 m, with a bronze door with small brass lock on the other side and a lock on the side of the door, and a bronze plate on the back of the door with the words "Prayer to the One Who is to be Saved" printed in small letters on a black background. At the back of the door is a small metal plate with a small gold-plated lock and key with a keypad. The door in SCP-4962-1 is locked from the inside, and requires a key to open. Any person entering SCP-4962-1 must pass through the inner steel chamber into the inner chamber of SCP-4962-1, before entering the bronze door and unlocking it.
2476
2477When any person enters SCP-4962-1, SCP-4962-1 will release a small amount of pressure. This pressure is the amount necessary to make a person pass out from the effects of SCP-4962. The effect of SCP-4962 is similar to pressure from a pressure washer, however this is the pressure that SCP-4962 uses to open its chamber. The effect is strongest on the first person to enter SCP-4962-1, then gradually increases as each additional person enters through the door. The only known effect that SCP-4962-1 has on someone who has already passed out is the effect of being teleported to a location near SCP-4962-1.
2478
2479When a person passes out from the effects of SCP-4962, SCP-4962-1 will release a small amount of pressure again, causing the person to pass out once more. However, this time the person will enter SCP-4962-1-1 and the pressure will disappear. Due to the nature of SCP-4962, this will always happen before the pressure released by SCP-4962-1-1 stops, regardless of how many people enter SCP-4962-1-1.
2480
2481SCP-4962-1-1 is a single room in the center of SCP-4962-1. The room contains the same walls and floor as SCP-4962-1, but with a large round door (designated SCP-4962-1-1-A), a wall-mounted light, a desk, a couch, and a small table with a bottle of red wine and a knife set on top. The couch is in the center of the room, and has a small set of shelves on the side, and a pair of boots and a shirt set on top of it. In addition to the furniture, the room also has a bottle of red wine and a small piece of parchment on it.
2482
2483SCP-4962-1-1 is the location of SCP-4962-1. The room has walls with the same dimensions as SCP-4962-1-1, but with three dimensional glass windows set in the ceiling, with the same dimensions as SCP-4962-1. The glass windows do not affect the room, and will show a normal view of

2585Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be stored in a standard airlock in Site-██. In addition to standard protocols for containment of non-living objects, SCP-4962 is to be kept at a temperature no higher than 15 Celsius and no lower than 2.5 Celsius. As with all non-living objects, SCP-4962 is to be placed in a containment chamber equipped with a full-scale automated vacuum system.
2586
2587Description: SCP-4962 is a spherical plastic bottle approximately 3 metres in diameter and 2.5 metres in height, containing a small plastic replica of a human skull. Although SCP-4962 appears to be inert, it produces a powerful electrical current which is continuously flowing with a frequency of approximately 1Hz throughout its entire surface. This current is not present in any other objects that are not SCP-4962.
2588
2589During testing of SCP-4962, it has been determined that when exposed to an electrical current, SCP-4962 will produce a small plastic skull. The skull, although plastic, is a real human skull located within SCP-4962's volume of approximately 1.7 cm3. While SCP-4962 is not capable of physical contact with SCP-4962-1, it is capable of interacting with SCP-4962-1 in a similar fashion as a normal human being.
2590
2591SCP-4962-1 is a plastic replica of a human skull with a mouth. SCP-4962-1 is an accurate reproduction of the human skull that was created by Dr. ██████ ███████████ in the late 1920s for use in the ███████████ █████ Research Foundation. It appears to be made from the same type of plastic as SCP-4962, and is a near-perfect copy of the original human skull.
2592
2593The skull in SCP-4962-1 is capable of producing a sound similar to that of a human voice, however the signal is extremely high pitched and produces a loud noise. The signal emanating from SCP-4962-1 is currently being used to test if SCP-4962-1 is capable of producing a voice. The signal is produced by the skull in SCP-4962-1, and is currently being analyzed by a Foundation researcher.
2594
2595SCP-4962 was discovered in ██████████, ██, on ██-██-████ by the ███████████ █████ Research Foundation. Upon recovery, SCP-4962-1 was immediately removed and placed in a standard containment chamber, along with the original skull. SCP-4962 was subsequently put into a standard airlock in Site-██.
2596
2597Addendum: Due to the limited use of SCP-4962, only a limited amount of testing has been conducted. In order to determine if SCP-4962 itself is capable of speaking, experimentation is currently being conducted on SCP-4962-1, as well as the skull, both of which are currently in a standard containment chamber.

SCP-4962 was first discovered in a home on █████████ Avenue in ███████, Illinois during a raid on a methamphetamine manufacturing operation. SCP-4962 had been brought into the facility when a lab accident occurred during the manufacture of amphetamine. SCP-4962 was able to identify a number of individuals including the owner of the facility, who escaped the warehouse and was never seen again.
2634
2635SCP-4962 was then brought into containment in ██████, Illinois where it has resided ever since. SCP-4962 is able to use a number of anomalous properties, mainly the ability to absorb and emit radiation. SCP-4962's ability to absorb and emit radiation has been confirmed to be dependent on its ability to generate heat from its body.
2636
2637SCP-4962 is capable of emitting radiation at a level of approximately 0.01 J/cm^2 at a rate of approximately 9 J/sec. The amount of radiation emitted by SCP-4962 is constant, with no discernible pattern to it. The radiation emitted by SCP-4962 is also largely in the infrared spectrum, though it is not capable of penetrating solid objects. However, in low light conditions, SCP-4962's radiation output is capable of penetrating the human retina and causing a number of permanent eye injuries.
2638
2639Addendum SCP-4962-1:
2640
2641SCP-4962 was first discovered and subsequently administered Class-2 amnestics. Upon questioning, SCP-4962 revealed that this incident was not one of its own making. The event was related to a previous instance of SCP-4962, which had been given a Class-3 amnestic. SCP-4962 was able to provide details of the situation to Agent ███████, who was able to confirm it to be an instance of SCP-4962.
2642
2643Agent ███████ was able to confirm that SCP-4962 had been kept in a facility of some kind, and was found in the middle of cooking food. Agent ███████ was able to ascertain that SCP-4962 was a human female. After being questioned, SCP-4962 began to show signs of distress, and began to express a desire for the facility to be destroyed, and to absorb the inhabitants of the facility as well. SCP-4962 requested to use the facility's bathroom, but Agent ███████ was able to get in through an open window. The bathroom was subsequently destroyed. Agent ███████ was found to be unharmed and was released from containment shortly thereafter.
2644
2645Addendum SCP-4962-2:
2646
2647SCP-4962's anomalous properties were discovered by researchers at the ██████, Illinois facility, and were subsequently given Class-A amnestics. SCP-4962 was moved by Foundation staff to Site-██. As of ██/█/████, SCP-4962 has been administered Class-A amnestics and is being considered for Class-F.<|endoftext|>The New York Times's David Leonhardt has a very good piece on how many Americans are suffering from a lack of affordable, good-paying jobs, and how that is playing a major role in why so many people are going to vote for Donald Trump.

2651More than four in 10 Americans say they would be less likely to work a job because of a lack of money, a survey released on Wednesday found. More than four in 10 said they would be less likely to buy a home or rent an apartment because of a lack of money. Roughly three in 10 would be less likely to buy a car or to take a vacation.
2652
2653I don't know if that's an accurate reflection of the results of the survey, but it's a big part of the reason why so many people are voting for Donald Trump. It's a lot scarier to worry about losing your job because of a lack of money than a lack of a job because of a lack of money.<|endoftext|>Doom is a game in which you are able to shoot the demons in the walls and the floors.

2694
2695SCP-4962 is to be monitored for any changes in behavior; any indications of changes must be reported immediately to Dr. ███████, who is to review the data and determine a plan of action.
2696
2697Description: SCP-4962 is a Caucasian female with a height of approximately 1.8 meters. SCP-4962 is currently in what appears to be a transitional state between a young woman and an adult woman.
2698
2699SCP-4962's anomalous abilities manifest when SCP-4962 is in a state of fertility. During such times SCP-4962's body temperature increases to approximately 110° Celsius, and will continue to increase until the female reaches a body temperature of approximately 140° Celsius or less. After this point, SCP-4962's body temperature will remain at the same level throughout the rest of the day.
2700
2701At the time of these periods of fertility, SCP-4962 will exhibit all of the following characteristics:
2702
2703Increased physical strength and agility
2704
2705An increased sense of smell
2706
2707Increased mental acuity

2711An increased desire to engage in sexual intercourse
2712
2713The appearance of SCP-4962's female organs will change to appear as those of a mature woman. This change will not be permanent; SCP-4962 has shown the ability to revert to her original appearance when she reaches a body temperature of 130° Celsius.
2714
2715Any attempts to forcibly remove SCP-4962 from her cycle are to be met with lethal force.

2717Addendum 4962-1: Addendum 4962-1: On ██-██-20██, two days after SCP-4962's transformation, a male employee of Site-██ was discovered dead in his office. Investigation reveals that the employee's body displayed signs of severe trauma and was missing one hand, the other being found in the office.
2718
2719A subsequent autopsy showed that the man's body contained traces of SCP-4962's fluids. Further investigation has uncovered the following:
2720
2721The employee had been in a relationship with SCP-4962.
2722
2723On the day of the employee's death, SCP-4962's body temperature reached 140° Celsius. The temperature continued to rise throughout the entire day, causing the employee's body to contract and swell. When the temperature reached 130° Celsius, SCP-4962 began to violently contract and burst.
2724
2725SCP-4962's body temperature continued to rise during the following day, reaching an incredible 145° Celsius. The employee's remains were completely incinerated; the cause of the employee's death is currently unknown.

2763Aluminum was a nonstandard material. It was a relatively new material, first introduced in 1967, and was still in relatively short supply by the time of the 1970s. Aluminum was not used as a structural material until the 1970s.
2764
2765It was found to be suitable for aircraft fuel tanks. Aluminum could be made from a wide variety of materials, including ceramics and graphite. Aluminum was produced by dissolving copper in sulfuric acid (CaSO 4 · H 2 SO 4 ), a process that required high concentrations of sulfuric acid.
2766
2767Aluminum was used in aircraft fuel tanks in several ways. It helped to maintain the strength and integrity of the metal surfaces of the tank, which were subject to high temperatures of 500°C or more during take-off and landing. Aluminum also helped to prevent corrosion of the tank material. Aluminum was an excellent thermal conductor because it had a unique shape that allowed the metal to absorb heat and to disperse it. Aluminum also helped to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the fuel was burned. Aluminum was also used to improve flight performance by reducing engine vibration and by absorbing heat and reducing fuel consumption during take-off and landing. Aluminum was used in a range of industries as well. It is mostly used in the electrical industry and in the automobile industry.
2768
2769There were over 40 different grades of aluminum available for use in aircraft fuel tanks. The grades included A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. A was the most common grade for use in the 1960s. B was used in the second half of the 1960s and was used for tank materials used in aircraft. C was used in the 1970s, is the most common grade now, and is also used in aircraft fuel tanks. D was used in the 1980s. E is the most common grade now, and is used for fuel tanks for aircraft and aircraft fuel tanks. F was used in the early 1970s, and was eventually replaced by G. G was used in the 1980s. H was used in the late 1970s, and was replaced by J.

2799Addendum - Recovery Logs<|endoftext|>The Washington Post is reporting that the National Security Administration is "gathering, storing and analyzing data about virtually every phone call made in the United States." The government is collecting the call records of millions of Americans, and in some cases has been using them to determine the location of U.S. citizens.
2800
2801The agency's collection of call records is different from the collection of phone records of foreign targets, which is conducted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This data collection is being conducted without a warrant from a judge.
2802
2803In other words, the government is acting like a newspaper editor writing a story about a crime, but without the benefit of the reporter's knowledge that the story is true. The Post reports:
2804
2805The National Security Agency is seeking to expand its powers to search through massive amounts of Americans' international Internet communications in what one former top intelligence official called an "all-reaching surveillance system." The agency is asking the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to allow it to search through phone call and e-mail records in bulk even when there is no evidence of wrongdoing, according to the court's annual reports reviewed by The Washington Post.
2806
2807The government also wants to keep track of people's location for up to five years.
2808
2809Under the Patriot Act, the government must show probable cause that the person is involved in terrorism or espionage and that he or she has engaged in suspicious activity in the past. But the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court said in its most recent annual report that it is not sufficiently certain that the government has satisfied its legal threshold. It has also been criticized for conducting nearly all of its surveillance of foreign targets under Section 215 of the Patriot Act and for making "bulk collection" of Americans' communications legal, if the government can show it is "relevant" to a foreign intelligence investigation.
2810
2811Even President Obama acknowledged that the government does not have a "constitutional basis" for collecting phone records.
2812
2813President Obama: "What we do know is that the majority of phone records being collected are not the ones that are being targeted. That's a fact. And that's what makes it important that we take these steps because, again, we've got to balance our security and our privacy."
2814
2815The Post reports that when the government gets a warrant to collect a phone record, it must tell the phone company, but that the companies are not allowed to tell the government that they have a record of their customers.
2816
2817This is a major problem for the government. The phone companies must store the records for about 180 days, but they may or may not tell the authorities about the records. The Post reports:
2818
2819One former senior government official said the government is able to obtain business records to which the phone companies are bound under the statute because the business records are so broad.
2820
2821The Post adds that the phone companies should be required to give the government "the capability to search its own records for particular individuals for a two-year period, rather than the current 30-day period."

2837Description: SCP-4962 is an anomalous human male of Caucasian descent, approximately 5'6" in height. SCP-4962 is of average size and build, with a thin chest and broad shoulders. SCP-4962 possesses small, white-blond hair and hazel eyes. When exposed to a light source, SCP-4962 will appear to age at an accelerated rate, exhibiting changes in skin texture and appearance, along with the onset of wrinkles. SCP-4962 will appear to age at an accelerated rate for the next period of three hours.
2838
2839During this time, SCP-4962 will also experience the following symptoms:
2840
2841A sudden shift in his ability to detect light.
2842
2843The appearance of a number of small black marks on his hands.
2844
2845An increase in the size of his ears and mouth.

2848
2849An increase in his susceptibility to pain.
2850
2851During the first period of three hours, SCP-4962 will be able to detect light at an increased rate, and will not be affected by pain.
2852
2853During the second period of three hours, SCP-4962 will experience the following symptoms:
2854
2855A sudden increase in his ability to perceive sound.
2856
2857The appearance of a number of small black marks on his ears.
2858
2859An increase in the sizes of his ears, mouth and eyes.
2860
2861An increase in his susceptibility to pain.
2862
2863During the third period of three hours, SCP-4962 will experience the following symptoms:
2864
2865A sudden decrease in his ability to detect sound.
2866
2867The appearance of a number of small black marks on his ears.
2868
2869An increase in the sizes of his ears, mouth and eyes.
2870
2871An increase in his susceptibility to pain.
2872
2873After the third period of three hours, SCP-4962 will be able to perceive sound at a reduced rate, and will be unaffected by pain.
2874
2875SCP-4962 will then experience a period of time of three (3) days. If SCP-4962 is exposed to light for three (3) days, at least five (5) of his marks will appear to have been blotted out.
2876
2877Addendum: Due to a series of unfortunate events, SCP-4962 is currently in the process of undergoing an experimental procedure that will allow him to be exposed to light indefinitely.

2879NOTE: Further information about the treatment of SCP-4962 has been requested.<|endoftext|>In the wake of the release of the first "Star Wars" film in 1977, the studio decided that it would take its time in releasing a sequel. As I noted in a previous post , the movie was not a flop, and its success established George Lucas as one of the most successful producers of American films and television. (He then went on to produce "American Graffiti" and "THX-1138.") The studio was still worried about what might happen the next time it had the opportunity to make a movie about a space invasion, so it decided to take a different approach: it would make a movie about a space invasion and get the hell out of its way. And so it was that the company that produced "Star Wars" got back in the business of making movies. But in the years since, the company has produced a series of movies that are as often as not, not very good, but always bad, and also, at the very least, forgettable. They include not only the Star Wars movies but also "Star Trek," "Jurassic Park" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark."
2880
2881That's been a long time. I don't think I could recall a time when "Star Wars" was so uniformly bad. It's almost always the same story: a group of people (usually one or two of whom are women) meet in space. They see something that makes them want to escape this "hell" that is the planet Earth. They flee and do so in a vehicle that looks like an old spaceship and is propelled by a gas that looks like the stuff that comes out of the exhaust pipe of a car. As they travel, they meet other people and they try to work out where they are. Eventually one or more of the people in the group realizes that they are alone and goes off into the wilderness.

2889Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site-19. Personnel are not to leave the cell without permission from Site-19.
2890
2891Description: SCP-4962 appears to be a humanoid male in his thirties. SCP-4962's eyes are blue and are slightly dilated; however, the pupils are still perfectly round. SCP-4962 has a normal length and weight, but appears to be younger than his approximate age. He is of average height and is described by Dr. Wernstrom as "fairly well-built".
2892
2893SCP-4962 is capable of using and understanding sign language. SCP-4962 communicates by displaying various body parts and movements with the aid of sign language.
2894
2895SCP-4962 will attempt to communicate with any Foundation personnel who visits his cell. SCP-4962 is unable to communicate with individuals who do not possess a sign language of some form.
2896
2897SCP-4962's body can be found in the basement of Site-19. SCP-4962 is not to be interacted with by personnel under the age of 19. SCP-4962's cell is to be kept in standard humanoid containment.
2898
2899SCP-4962 may occasionally enter the laboratory in the basement of Site-19, and may attempt to retrieve samples of SCP-4962's bodily fluids or specimens of SCP-4962's biological makeup.
2900
2901SCP-4962's bodily fluids are believed to contain traces of SCP-4962's DNA or other biological materials. SCP-4962's body contains a number of bodily fluids which are theorized to contain traces of SCP-4962's DNA. In tests performed, SCP-4962 was able to replicate himself through the use of his bodily fluids; therefore, no anomalous properties may be attributed to these fluids. These fluids do not appear to interfere with SCP-4962's ability to retain the ability to communicate.
2902
2903SCP-4962 will attempt to communicate with an individual who possesses a sign language form of communication. These attempts are limited to verbal communication.

2950
2951Special Containment Procedures: Due to the fact that SCP-4962 is not classified as a hostile entity, there is currently no containment protocol established for it.
2952
2953There is currently no method of obtaining SCP-4962. Attempts to do so have proven ineffective.
2954
2955Description: SCP-4962 is a large, sentient, amorphous entity of unknown origin, which will typically appear as an old, dark brown, humanoid entity, usually with a dark, smoky, leathery skin tone. SCP-4962 will typically be found alone, and has been observed to act as a spiritual guide to other beings, as well as a healer, although it has not been able to heal any physical wounds caused by SCP-4962-1.
2956
2957SCP-4962-1 is the collective designation of the various individuals that have been affected by SCP-4962. SCP-4962-1 refers to any number of individuals who have been affected by SCP-4962 by taking on its physical appearance, as well as any number of individuals who have suffered psychological damage as a result of their experience with SCP-4962. SCP-4962-1 usually manifests as a humanoid humanoid, with a dark skin tone and a pair of large, reddish eyes. SCP-4962-1 is typically in a state of near-sleep.
2958
2959During the time SCP-4962-1 is in a state of near-sleep, SCP-4962-1 will become active, and will attempt to communicate with its affected victims. SCP-4962-1 will typically use a combination of telepathy, dream manipulation and other means of communication to attempt to communicate with its victims. SCP-4962-1 will typically attempt to gain information from its victims, although SCP-4962-1 has not been able to communicate with D-Class subjects. For instance, although D-Class-02 (a member of the Junior Researcher ████'s research team) was subjected to SCP-4962-1's telepathic signals several times, SCP-4962-1 was unable to communicate with the D-Class, and was never able to communicate with the subject.
2960
2961SCP-4962-1's telepathic signals are similar to those heard by Foundation personnel in a number of instances, and will usually be unintelligible. However, SCP-4962-1 has been able to receive signals from Foundation personnel such as Dr. ████, Dr. ██████, Dr. ████ and Dr. █████████ in the form of dream messages, and has also been able to receive signals from Foundation personnel in the form of dreams.
2962
2963SCP-4962-1 has also been known to communicate telepathically with deceased personnel, as well as with D-Class subjects. For instance, SCP-4962-1 was able to communicate with D-Class-03 (an SCP-4962-1 member who had died of old age) while the D-Class' body was in the possession of SCP-4962-2. In addition, SCP-4962-1 has been able to communicate with D-Class-02 (a D-Class subject who had been affected by SCP-4962) in the form of dream messages.
2964
2965SCP-4962-1's physical form, as well as its ability to physically manifest itself at any given time, is dependent on the existence of a suitable SCP-4962-1 host. SCP-4962-1 will tend to manifest in front of a large, vacant space, with a large amount of empty space around it. SCP-4962-1, however, is able to maintain a position of prominence in any given space, and will tend to stand on a chair or bed, at the edge of the empty space.
2966
2967SCP-4962-1 has been able to maintain a form of presence in the same location for a period of time of 10 days, until SCP-4962-1 is able to find another suitable host. SCP-4962-1 will have a high degree of autonomy during this time, and will attempt to communicate with any other individuals who are in a state of near-sleep within the same general area.
2968
2969SCP-4962-1 will initially have a preference for individuals who are in a state of near-sleep, and will tend to communicate through dream messages, and will attempt to convince the host that the individual's body is on the verge of death. SCP-4962-1 will attempt to persuade the host to take drugs, and will attempt to persuade the host to do so by making promises of help in the afterlife, as well as promises of healing any physical injuries suffered by the individual. SCP-4962-1 has been able to persuade D-Class subjects to take drugs, for instance by offering them the opportunity to travel in a special dream world.

2977Special Containment Procedures: The nearest Foundation personnel with security clearance of Level 2 or higher are to be notified immediately. All Foundation personnel, Foundation civilians, and non-Foundation civilians with Class-A-II clearance are to be kept in the area under observation at all times. This area is to be evacuated immediately if a containment breach is detected. SCP-4962 is to be contained in a sealed, soundproofed cell on-site with a maximum of ten (10) personnel, and is to be fed once daily and given several hours of rest each day, in designated areas.
2978
2979Description: SCP-4962 is a female human of Asian descent. SCP-4962 is approximately fifty (50) years old. SCP-4962's appearance is identical to the average human female, save for the presence of a number of birthmarks and scars on her face, which are consistent with human mutilation.
2980
2981When SCP-4962 is exposed to heat, SCP-4962's facial skin will begin to change color. These changes appear to be a result of SCP-4962 becoming increasingly agitated and physically ill. Any exposure to temperature levels over a temperature of eighty (80) degrees Fahrenheit causes significant physical changes in SCP-4962, in addition to the aforementioned birthmarks and scars. Exposure to temperatures in excess of ninety (90) degrees Fahrenheit causes extreme fatigue, but does not completely incapacitate SCP-4962.
2982
2983SCP-4962's skin will begin to turn yellow and dark grey. After a period of a few hours, the skin will begin to rapidly regenerate. By the end of one (1) week after exposure to any heat, SCP-4962 will have fully recovered from both the physical effects of the exposure to heat and the effects of SCP-4962's accelerated aging process.
2984
2985SCP-4962 is unable to control this regenerative process, and will continually lose health through the process. SCP-4962 is still able to function physically, but it is difficult to maintain any form of interaction with SCP-4962.
2986
2987When exposed to cold, SCP-4962's skin will also begin to change color. SCP-4962's skin will begin to darken to a pale blue, and eventually become white. This is accompanied by accelerated healing of any injuries sustained.
2988
2989Any SCP-4962 exposed to cold will appear to lose consciousness, and will remain unconscious, if not dead, for the duration of exposure.
2990
2991Addendum: Research on SCP-4962 reveals that SCP-4962 is not able to control how rapidly its regenerative process occurs. To date, SCP-4962 has shown to have regenerated itself from the severe damage inflicted on it by numerous weapons. It has also regenerated from the damage inflicted upon SCP-4962 by the Foundation.
2992
2993Addendum 2: SCP-4962-1 was found in an abandoned residence in ███████, ███████, China. SCP-4962-2 was discovered in a abandoned apartment complex in ████████, ███████, China. The number of victims of SCP-4962's regenerative processes was unknown, due to the fact that SCP-4962-1 was discovered under different circumstances than SCP-4962-2 and SCP-4962-2-1. SCP-4962-2-1 was recovered from ████████, ███████, China by Foundation agents. SCP-4962-2-2 was recovered from ████████, ███████, China by Foundation agents. SCP-4962-2-1 was recovered from ████████, ███████, China by Foundation agents. SCP-4962-2-2 was recovered from ████████, ███████, China by Foundation agents. SCP-4962-2-2 was recovered from ████████, ███████, China by Foundation agents.

3004
3005Description: SCP-4962 describes a letter from the President of the United States to a foreign leader, dated 30th of February, 2009. Despite the fact that the document was sent to a foreign leader, not one of the recipients were aware of the document's existence, and the only two people who had ever read it were the president and the first author. SCP-4962 describes the letter's contents as follows:
3006
3007To the Honorable [Name of Foreign Leader],
3008
3009I am writing you today, as well as the heads of state of several other nations, to announce that the United States is ready to launch a preemptive strike against any nation that has been found to be developing weapons of mass destruction, even if those nations have not yet become a threat to us. I am not saying that a single attack will be launched, but this was our policy when the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty ended.
3010
3011With the end of that treaty, we did not see the need to conduct nuclear war. The reason was explained to me: we believed that the countries that negotiated that treaty would be the only ones left standing if a nuclear war broke out. They were right. Now, when one of those countries has been found to be developing weapons of mass destruction, we should consider using the very last bit of leverage we have in order to stop them. We have only one weapon that can be used: the United States military. The rest of the world will be left to fend for itself.
3012
3013I think you will agree that the time has come to move forward and to begin preparing for this eventuality.
3014
3015Sincerely,
3016
3017[Your Name]

3040
3041Description: SCP-4962 refers to several items that, when examined and held, appear to be a collection of various small objects. The objects are described as having no shape, but are easily identifiable with the aid of a microscope. SCP-4962 is described to be a collection of objects that appear to be similar to what is referred to as "dinosaur bones", and are described to be approximately 5 cm to 10 cm in length. The objects are described to be made of some sort of unknown material, and are described as "dinosaur-like".
3042
3043When the objects are held by an individual, the individual will experience an extremely painful reaction in their entire body, including their skin, muscles, and nerves. This will result in the individual to have a violent reaction and scream in agony and agony. SCP-4962 will disappear in 15 to 20 minutes, and the individuals will have no memory of what exactly happened.
3044
3045SCP-4962 can only be viewed through a microscope, and can only be examined with the aid of a microscope, and is only seen when the user is holding the objects.

Dr. ████ is holding SCP-4962, and SCP-4962 is holding a large stone, which is described as a boulder. Both SCP-4962 and Dr. ████ begin by pointing their microscopes at the stone. <Begin Log> Dr. ████: Could you please point to it for us? SCP-4962: Uh, yeah. [holds out the large stone] Dr. ████: Alright, well, could you please turn the microscope on and look at it from a close distance? SCP-4962: Alright. Dr. ████: What do you see? SCP-4962: Just a lot of, you know, stones. Dr. ████: Can you describe them? SCP-4962: Like, you know, I don't know. You know, kind of, you know, kind of a brownish rock. Like, it's, it's got a little bit of, you know, you know, kind of a, you know, you know, like, some kind of coloration there on it, and you know, some sort of, you know, little bumps on it. Dr. ████: I see… You see anything else? SCP-4962: No. Dr. ████: So, as far as I can tell, you just saw what appears to be a bunch of rocks? SCP-4962: Yeah. Dr. ████: Alright, well, could you please describe them to me? SCP-4962: I just, you know, I just, you know, these are, they're just rocks. Dr. ████: Okay, so, the only physical difference between these rocks and the ones you just saw is the coloration. Can you please say what coloration? SCP-4962: I didn't say anything on it. I just, like, you know, you know, it's just rocks. Like, you know, they're just rocks. It's just a, you know, it's a brownish brown stone. Dr. ████: Can you describe it? SCP-4962: Yeah. It's browny. Dr. ████: Now, when the rocks were taken from SCP-4962, you were able to clearly describe what the fossils were like? SCP-4962: Yeah. You know, they were just like, you know, you know, kind of, like, you know, like, you know, kind of, you know, like, like, you know, you know, like, like, like, you know, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, you know, like, you know, like, you know, you know, like, you know, like, you know, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like like, like, like, like, you know, like, like, like, like rocks.

3055Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is currently contained in a standard humanoid containment cell. All personnel are to undergo regular examination and testing for any traces of SCP-4962-1. Additionally, all samples of SCP-4962-1 must be placed into Standard Containment Containers within Site-19 (see Addendum 4962-1).
3056
3057SCP-4962 is to have access to all testing facilities at Site-19. All testing is to be carried out by Level 1 or above personnel.
3058
3059Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid entity with a single eye on its forehead. It appears to be in its late teens or early twenties, with an average to somewhat overweight build, short dark brown hair, and blue eyes. The entity is roughly 5' 10" tall. SCP-4962 seems to have no other features, save for the single eye.
3060
3061SCP-4962 was recovered from ████████, █████████, Idaho, during a routine trip to search for missing civilians. According to the witnesses, the object "looked like a regular house" but had a door and windows that appeared to be in a state of disrepair. While entering the property, investigators claimed to have seen the creature running around the property. The witness stated that the entity seemed to be "hiding," and that they saw it turn and run in the direction of the house.
3062
3063When the object was first recovered by Foundation personnel, it was identified as a single eye located in an arched doorway, which was situated in the house's main hallway. This door was later found to be the only one in the house, and was not occupied by anyone.
3064
3065After the object was recovered, the object's anomalous properties were determined to be the result of a phenomenon known as "SCP-4962-1". SCP-4962-1 is a form of anomalous material that is only produced by SCP-4962; it is not found in any other form of life or object, and is not affected by any known effects of normal matter. SCP-4962-1 is not an instance of normal matter, but the only thing SCP-4962 produces.
3066
3067The only other known effect of SCP-4962-1 is the creation of a single object-shaped void in a specific area of space near the point of contact. When this void is entered, SCP-4962-1 is released, and SCP-4962 will then proceed to appear somewhere within the void. The object-shaped void in which SCP-4962-1 appears is determined by SCP-4962's current location. If SCP-4962-1 is not encountered within one minute of emerging, its current location will be set to a random point in the void.
3068
3069SCP-4962-1's anomalous properties are activated when one of the following circumstances occurs:
3070
3071When SCP-4962-1 exits a SCP-4962-1-shaped void that SCP-4962-1-1 is already in, the object will appear in a location within a 5m square area around SCP-4962-1-1.
3072
3073When SCP-4962-1 exits a SCP-4962-1-shaped void, it will return to SCP-4962-1-1.
3074
3075SCP-4962-1's appearance within a void will be the same and unaffected by the current location of SCP-4962-1 (i.e. SCP-4962-1-1 will not be seen or heard from within a void).
3076
3077SCP-4962-1 will then be able to interact with SCP-4962, but will not be able to interact with any other objects, including SCP-4962 itself. The SCP-4962-1-1 instance will also become inert after SCP-4962-1's appearance.
3078
3079SCP-4962-1 will then proceed to disappear from SCP-4962-1-1. If SCP-4962-1 exits a SCP-4962-1-1-shaped void without being encountered, the object will return to SCP-4962-1-1, and SCP-4962-1-1 will disappear.
3080
3081SCP-4962-1 does not appear to be affected by other SCP-4962-1 instances in the same manner as described above.
3082
3083SCP-4962 was recovered on ██/██/████ and contained at Site-19 within an SCP-4962-1-1-shaped SCP containment area.
3084
3085Addendum: SCP-4962-1's effect on SCP-4962-1 instances is currently unknown. Due to the difficulty in ascertaining the precise location of each SCP-4962-1 instance, SCP-4962-1 instances are not currently being tracked directly.

3091Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-4962 are to be contained in a containment cell of their own, and are to be observed by at least one Level-4 researcher. SCP-4962-A instances are to be kept in a separate containment cell, but are to be observed at least once daily by Level-3 researchers. SCP-4962-B instances are to be kept in a separate containment cell, but are to be observed at least once daily by Level-3 researchers.
3092
3093SCP-4962-C instances are to be kept in SCP-4962-D. SCP-4962-D is a 3 m x 4 m room, composed entirely of SCP-4962-C instances. SCP-4962-D contains two air-cooled generators, and two separate storage areas. SCP-4962-D has an open-door policy with Level-3 personnel, with a minimum of 2 Level-3 personnel at all times. No personnel are permitted to enter SCP-4962-D without Level-3 authorization.
3094
3095Description: SCP-4962 is a collection of approximately 5,000 instances of SCP-4962-1. SCP-4962-1 instances appear to have existed as separate entities since their creation and have not been connected to each other in any way. All instances of SCP-4962-1 are identical, and are all white in color. SCP-4962-1 instances can be found in a single location within the world, located in the state of [REDACTED], ██ km north of [REDACTED]. If one of the following is determined to be their location, SCP-4962-1 instances will emerge from the ground in the shape of a human. Any non-human object that comes into contact with an SCP-4962-1 instance will appear to be animate.
3096
3097SCP-4962-A instances exhibit a "giant" phenotype, measuring 3.5 meters in height and weighing approximately 2.5 metric tons. SCP-4962-A instances are capable of walking and running on the ground with little difficulty, though their movement is not particularly efficient. SCP-4962-A instances are capable of interacting with objects, and will attempt to do so by reaching out for them with their hands. Upon touching an object, SCP-4962-A instances will emit an anomalous sound, causing them to "smell" it. If an instance of SCP-4962-A encounters another instance of SCP-4962-A, SCP-4962-B instances will begin to emerge from SCP-4962-B.
3098
3099SCP-4962-B instances are identical to SCP-4962-A instances, with the exception that they are white in color. Unlike SCP-4962-A instances, which are capable of interacting with objects, SCP-4962-B instances are incapable of doing so, and instead will attempt to stand on them. SCP-4962-B instances will not be able to stand for very long, and will often attempt to climb down, but will always stop before reaching the ground. SCP-4962-B instances will attempt to "smell" SCP-4962-C instances, and will begin to emit an anomalous sound, causing them to "smell" SCP-4962-C instances, as well. If an instance of SCP-4962-C is around SCP-4962-B instances, SCP-4962-B instances will begin to emit an anomalous sound, causing them to "smell" SCP-4962-C instances.
3100
3101SCP-4962-D is composed entirely of SCP-4962-C instances. SCP-4962-D has been in the possession of Dr. ██████ since 2:00 AM, 14███. SCP-4962-D's containment chamber is a 3 m x 4 m room, composed entirely of SCP-4962-C instances. SCP-4962-D has a single air-cooled generator, and two separate storage areas, one on either side of the entrance. SCP-4962-D has a standard open-door policy with Level-3 personnel, with a minimum of 2 Level-3 personnel at all times. No personnel are permitted to enter SCP-4962-D without Level-3 authorization.
3102
3103SCP-4962 was found in a small town in the state of [REDACTED] in [███████, ██] when the [REDACTED] state's police force was investigating a series of anomalous occurrences. The town's only resident at the time was a resident of the town, who had disappeared on the night of the 21st of October. The town's next resident, Dr. ██████, had an anomalous family resemblance to SCP-4962-A, with the exception of a black nose and black hair. When the police received the report of

3109Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-4962 and the nature of SCP-4962-1, its containment is currently a secondary task. As such, SCP-4962-1 is to be contained within a standard Safe-class humanoid containment cell. SCP-4962-1 must be housed in a standard humanoid containment cell, but is not to be restrained or restrained to any other equipment or surface. SCP-4962-1 is to be fed at regular intervals and fed meals approved by Command. If SCP-4962-1 needs to be restrained, it is to be restrained by a suitable restraint of appropriate length, and is only to be used by the two personnel who are present.
3110
3111Description: SCP-4962-1 is an adult male, aged between 20 and 35 years. SCP-4962-1 is a Caucasian male, with black hair and eyes. SCP-4962-1's ears, nose, and mouth are completely normal. The only physical changes caused by SCP-4962-1 are the following:
3112
3113SCP-4962-1 has two small, human-like feet and fingers.
3114
3115SCP-4962-1's hands and fingers are covered by a black material that covers the knuckles, nails, and the end of the thumb, and is typically stained with blood. The material is not water-resistant; any cuts or bruises caused by SCP-4962-1 will bleed profusely. SCP-4962-1 is able to manipulate and manipulate objects with this material, although it is not considered to be an effective means for any practical application.
3116
3117SCP-4962-1 has no visible organs. SCP-4962-1 appears to be sapient, although what this could mean is currently unknown. SCP-4962-1 has been observed to show some understanding of mathematics, but has shown no ability to speak or use written language. SCP-4962-1 appears to be able to grasp and manipulate a number of objects, including:
3118
3119a pencil
3120
3121a pen
3122
3123a ruler

3138
3139SCP-4962-1 was sent to SCP-4962 by a civilian. SCP-4962-1 was not given any detailed instructions or instructions as to what it was to do. Instead, SCP-4962-1 was left to solve the puzzle by itself.
3140
3141Addendum 4962-1: SCP-4962 was discovered on ██/██/████ after a civilian reported a strange object floating in the sky, and shortly afterwards a civilian reported hearing a "loud clattering." Upon investigation, civilians found a number of SCP-4962-1 in various parts of the country. After a number of additional civilian reports, SCP-4962-1 was found to be in a number of public buildings, including:
3142
3143A local sports center
3144
3145The local police station
3146
3147A local bank
3148
3149A local health care facility

3151A local school
3152
3153A local business
3154
3155Addendum 4962-2: After the discovery of SCP-4962, SCP-4962-1 was recovered by Foundation operatives within the ██████ ████████. SCP-4962-1 was recovered in a ████ ████████ building, and was immediately placed into standard humanoid containment. SCP-4962-1 was taken to a local hospital and placed under close observation. Foundation operatives were able to monitor SCP-4962-1's movements and communication with civilian personnel.
3156
3157On ██/██/████, a Foundation operative was able to enter the building where SCP-4962-1 was being held and retrieve SCP-4962-1 safely and without incident. SCP-4962-1 was put into storage until further notice.

3181Special Containment Procedures: Any human corpse brought to the Foundation for burial is to be stored in the refrigerated section of Site-██, along with all items of clothing, personal effects, and other items of value to the deceased. Any non-human corpses brought to the Foundation for research are to be held in the morgue section of Site-██.
3182
3183As of ██/██/20██, any corpse recovered or discovered to be SCP-4962-1 may be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell in Storage Site-██. This cell will be equipped with a bed, a toilet, a sink, and a shower, as well as a small desk, where the corpse will be kept. The body will be kept in a state of suspended animation until the Foundation can determine if the death was natural or a result of self-inflicted injury or disease.
3184
3185As of ██/██/20██, SCP-4962-1 instances that have not been contained are to be disposed of in the nearest incinerator, as they are not suitable for research and do not pose a threat to the site.
3186
3187Description: SCP-4962 is a phenomenon affecting humans and non-human entities. SCP-4962 has been observed to affect human corpses, as well as human individuals and non-human entities. SCP-4962 was first discovered when an instance of SCP-4962-1 appeared in a cemetery in ██████, Texas, United States on ██/██/██, at approximately 10 PM. The corpse was not identified at the time, and was considered to be an ordinary human corpse until the instance of SCP-4962-1 began to animate.
3188
3189SCP-4962-1 instances are human corpses that have been affected by SCP-4962. Human corpses that have been affected by SCP-4962 are referred to as SCP-4962-1 instances. SCP-4962-1 instances often have a high degree of intelligence and are able to communicate with the deceased person's siblings, parents, and children. SCP-4962-1 instances also frequently have a physical appearance varying from that of the deceased person. When a corpse is affected by SCP-4962, SCP-4962-1 instances will begin to "evolve", undergoing a gradual transformation into a humanoid form. When a corpse is affected by SCP-4962, SCP-4962-1 instances begin to animate and attempt to communicate with the deceased person. SCP-4962-1 instances are often hostile towards both the Foundation and non-human entities, and are able to cause severe damage and/or injury to Foundation personnel. SCP-4962-1 instances do not show any signs of aging, and are capable of surviving indefinitely.
3190
3191SCP-4962-1 instances are usually identified by the following traits:
3192
3193A long, thin torso and waist, with thin bones and no internal organs.
3194
3195An elongated upper body, with a small torso and long arms.
3196
3197A small head with sharp, pointed ears.
3198
3199Large hands and feet.
3200
3201A long, narrow torso, with a disproportionately large lower torso and a disproportionately large upper body.
3202
3203Two large, circular, bulbous wings on the front of the body.
3204
3205A thin tail.
3206
3207When a non-human entity is influenced by SCP-4962, it will undergo the same process as SCP-4962-1. Non-human entities affected by SCP-4962 will also tend to have similar physical characteristics to SCP-4962-1 instances, with the exception of their hair.
3208
3209SCP-4962 does not affect the bodies of any deceased human entities. Although SCP-4962 does not affect human corpses, it is still possible to die from an accident involving SCP-4962-1 instances. Therefore, it is important that any person who is near a corpse affected by SCP-4962 should be checked for possible signs of SCP-4962-1 before entering the area, as long as they have not been affected by SCP-4962.
3210
3211At present, there are no known means to destroy SCP-4962-1 instances, and no known means by which the SCP-4962-1 instances can be neutralized. There is currently no known way to predict when or how SCP-4962-1 instances will manifest, nor what effect they will have on humans and non-human entities they encounter.
3212
3213Addendum: Following the discovery of SCP-4962, the Foundation has been operating under a policy of containment. Foundation personnel are to avoid contact with any non-human entity that has been affected by SCP-4962-1. Due to its potential for disruption of the Foundation's operations, contact with SCP-4962-1 instances is strongly discouraged.

3221Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell fitted with a soundproofing system and equipped with a single bed, a closet or storage compartment, a single chair, and a desk. Access to SCP-4962 is restricted to Level 4 personnel and researchers with Level 3 clearance.
3222
3223All copies of SCP-4962-1 are to be destroyed when no longer needed by personnel with Level 3 clearance. SCP-4962-1 copies are to be destroyed by incineration or incineration in-line with Departmental regulations. SCP-4962-1 copies are to be incinerated in their entirety, by burning at a temperature of at least 1500° Celsius.
3224
3225Description: SCP-4962 is the first known anomalous object in the world. It is an approximately ██×███ cm wooden doll measuring approximately ██ cm in length, of a human male of European descent, dressed in the costume of the 19th century. The doll was found in [REDACTED], ██████████, in ████████, and is currently being held in the Foundation's ████████████████ facility. SCP-4962 has the ability to alter its shape to resemble a standard-issue human, though this has never been observed in any of its appearances. All instances of SCP-4962 have been found with a single "heart" in their chest, with a slightly different coloration, to the point that all instances have been given the designation SCP-4962-1. In addition, the heart of all instances of SCP-4962 has a slight variation in coloration from the heart of the doll; that is, it appears purple and blue in the SCP-4962-1 instances, while it appears purple and orange in the doll-instance. All instances of SCP-4962 have also been proven to be able to speak in a normal voice in a British accent.
3226
3227The most notable distinguishing feature of SCP-4962 is its ability to "feel" through the objects in which it is contained. This ability can be used to identify objects which are in a certain state, and can be used to interact with those that are in a certain state. This is particularly useful for instances of SCP-4962-1 who are unable to physically interact with the objects in their containment cells, though it is unknown if this ability is used for any other purposes besides communication.
3228
3229SCP-4962-1 are individuals who have displayed the ability to communicate with SCP-4962 through the objects which SCP-4962 is contained in. All instances of SCP-4962-1 have the same head, and are able to be identified as human. SCP in their names is a combination of the names of the individual instances of SCP-4962-1 with the first letter of the person's first name. All instances of SCP-4962-1 have been found who are from the 19th century, with a small number of instances born between the 1870s and the 1930s.
3230
3231SCP-4962-1 were first noted when several copies of SCP-4962 began appearing in shops in ██████████, ██████████. A local newspaper reporter, reporting on the "doll-mania" and the increase in demand for the doll, alerted the Foundation to the phenomenon. It was discovered that all instances of SCP-4962-1 were, in fact, copies of a standard-issue doll, the only difference being that their hearts were attached to the dolls' chests.
3232
3233SCP-4962-1 are able to communicate with SCP-4962 through simple actions carried out by SCP-4962-1. They appear to be capable of reading and writing, though this has not been observed in all instances. Each instance of SCP-4962-1 is capable of acting as a human, though they have never been observed to act in an unnatural manner.
3234
3235Addendum: SCP-4962-1 have been discovered displaying their abilities to communicate with SCP-4962 in an attempt to gain the doll's attention. A series of experiments have been conducted in order to determine the effect of SCP-4962-1 on SCP-4962. The following is a summary of the results of these experiments:
3236
3237Results: As expected, SCP-4962 reacted less strongly to SCP-4962-1 than it did to human subjects. Additionally, SCP-4962-1 showed a greater interest in SCP-4962 than it did in subjects.
3238
3239The majority of SCP-4962-1's actions were limited to the simple act of "playing" with SCP-4962. In order to "play" with SCP-4962, SCP-4962-1 must touch a specific spot on SCP-4962's chest. The location of this spot varies between different SCP-4962-1, and has been confirmed to correspond to a certain part of SCP-4962

3256
3257The most significant addition is our new eShop Accessible Mode. This means that you will be able to play any of the new titles that are available for Wii U in a more convenient way.
3258
3259Another new feature is the Wii U GamePad. With this new feature, Wii U owners no longer need to place their hands on the GamePad, as you can now use it as a controller, as well.
3260
3261We've also increased the number of titles that can be downloaded directly to your system's internal memory. This comes in particularly handy when you're downloading titles that are larger than the available memory on your Wii U console.
3262
3263Finally, we've made some updates to the Wii U Shop Channel and the Homebrew Channel. New features include the ability to download new firmware updates directly to your eShop system or the Homebrew Channel, respectively. We've also added a new option to remove all the software that's installed on your system.
3264
3265Lastly, we've also updated the Homebrew Channel in a few ways. We've added support for our new Accessible Mode, so now every system that has a gamepad will be able to play them using an Accessible Mode GamePad. We've also made it easier to select the Homebrew Channel and download and install games using the Homebrew Channel. This feature is only available if you have an eShop Accessible Mode GamePad.
3266

3277The Borrowers – "Suffer"
3278
3279The Borrowers' debut album is their best yet. "Suffer" is a brutal piece of industrial-ish industrial, with a crushing kick drum, and a relentless pace that keeps you on your feet. If you've ever wanted a good thrash metal album, this is the record for you.
3280
3281The Band – "The Darkest Day"
3282
3283The Band are one of the greatest heavy metal bands ever. "The Darkest Day" is one of the most extreme and beautiful albums ever made. It is so dark, so heavy, so twisted, and full of darkness, that it will have you shaking, crying, and rocking out.
3284
3285Cannibal Corpse – "Ascension"
3286
3287Cannibal Corpse are one of the most iconic and extreme bands around. "Ascension" is their magnum opus, and it is a masterpiece. "Ascension" is an album that takes heavy metal and pushes it to the absolute limits imaginable. It is raw, it is heavy, it is unrelenting.
3288
3289Thrash Metal Massacre – "The Last of My Nails"
3290
3291Thrash Metal Massacre are a hardcore band that also happen to be one of the best thrash metal bands around. Their album "The Last of My Nails" is an insane album. You will not be disappointed.
3292
3293Thrash Metal Massacre – "The Devil's Own"
3294
3295Thrash Metal Massacre has never been a band to shy away from the extreme. Their latest album is very similar to their last. This is another insane album that will be on your shelf for a while.
3296
3297Rise Above – "War Machine"
3298
3299Rise Above's fifth album, "War Machine", is a very intense album. It's heavy, it's loud, and it's a very heavy album. I am very excited for this record.

3305Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained on Site-65. The containment cell is to be equipped with a video surveillance camera. All SCP-4962 instances are to be contained in a single room, to be known as the Test Cell. The Test Cell consists of a single, empty, floor space, lined with one (1) large, flat, unheated room. The Test Cell's interior is to be lined with a single flooring carpet, of the same color, material, and texture as the floor. The flooring is to be at least 3 meters in length, with at least three (3) meters of height from the ground.
3306
3307The floor is to be littered with various objects, as well as small amounts of dust. The ceiling is to be covered with tiles of the same color, material, and texture of the floor. These tiles are to be uniformly distributed in all three (3) directions, and at least three (3) meters apart from one another. The ceiling is to be uniformly coated with a thin layer of dirt, in a pattern indistinguishable from the ceiling tiles.
3308
3309The exterior of the Test Cell is to be coated with a layer of soil, of the same color, material, and texture as the floor. This layer is to be evenly distributed in all three (3) directions, with at least three (3) meters of height from the ground. The exterior of the Test Cell is to be coated with a thin layer of dirt, in a pattern indistinguishable from the interior.

The wall is to be uniformly coated in all three (3) directions, with at least three (3) meters of height from the ground. The interior of the Test Cell is to be coated with a thin layer of soil, in a pattern indistinguishable from the interior.
3312
3313A small, circular hole is to be bored into the floor and ceiling of the Test Cell, at least three (3) meters from the hole. The hole is to be covered with a thin layer of dirt. The hole is to be made so that when viewed from the outside, the inside of the Test Cell appears to be a perfectly ordinary floor, with no apparent flooring. This is to be done so as to conceal the presence of SCP-4962. The hole is to be covered with a layer of dirt, at least three (3) meters in height from the wall. The inside of the hole is to be coated with a layer of dirt, at least three (3) meters in height from the inside of the hole.

3317Description: SCP-4962 is a collection of approximately 100 (100) ██████-brand paper, ink, and pencils, each with the same serial number. SCP-4962 instances have been identified as having been manufactured by the ██████████ company, based in ███████, ██, United States of America.
3318
3319SCP-4962-1 are all individually numbered, and correspond to the serial numbers found on SCP-4962. SCP-4962-1 instances have all been examined by Foundation personnel, and have been found to have no anomalous properties. No instances of SCP-4962-1 have been found to contain any paper or pen residue.
3320
3321SCP-4962-1 instances have been found to be kept in a paper, ink, and pencil storage container, as well as in a plastic bag with the label "pencils". The containers are covered in a thin layer of dust, and are marked with the name of the item, in small font, along with a serial number, as well as the word "pencils".
3322
3323When SCP-4962-1 is activated, the corresponding SCP-4962-1 instance will enter a state of agitation, and begin to write in the same script as the item. The writing is consistent with any standard handwriting of the ██████ brand, and is not anomalously readable.
3324
3325SCP-4962-2 are instances of SCP-4962-1 instances, which are held in a plastic bag marked with the name of the item, together with the serial number, as well as the word "pencils". SCP-4962-2 instances are identical in appearance and behavior to SCP-4962-1 instances, and do not display any anomalous properties.
3326
3327SCP-4962-3 are instances of SCP-4962-1 instances, which appear to be identical to SCP-4962-1 instances, but without any writing of any kind. SCP-4962-3 instances do not display any anomalous properties nor are found to display any writing of any kind.

3334
3335Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be contained in a 5m x 5m x 5m room, with walls and ceiling painted black to simulate the environment of the location where it is held. A standard security camera is to be placed at the main entrance of the facility, with a video feed directed to SCP-4962's containment room.
3336
3337SCP-4962 is not to be left unattended without a full-time security guard, except when SCP-4962 is being examined, or when an emergency situation occurs. After two hours, personnel arriving for duty are to enter the containment chamber, take possession of a tranquilizer gun, and immediately administer the drug to SCP-4962.
3338
3339All personnel are to be familiarized with the effects of tranquilizers before entering SCP-4962's containment chamber. If the tranquilizer gun is not available, security personnel are to be instructed to apply it by lashing the subject with an iron bar, followed by a powerful electrical shock. After the first application, no further applications are to be made until the subject becomes unconscious.
3340
3341Description: SCP-4962 is a small humanoid, roughly the same height and weight as any human female, with brown hair and blue eyes. While SCP-4962 possesses no visible anatomy or muscles, it has been observed to have a highly elastic and flexible body with a skin texture like that of a sponge. However, it is completely unable to speak, and is incapable of physical movement.
3342
3343SCP-4962's skin is a unique, luminescent blue-green color, which has become more visible over time. SCP-4962 was discovered when researchers investigating paranormal activity in the area of ████████, Czech Republic, were sent to remove one of the many anomalous phenomena described to them by locals. Upon entering the location, they found that one of the rooms had been inexplicably vacated.
3344
3345The next day, a group of researchers was sent in to investigate. When they arrived, they found an undressed Human male dressed in a plain, grey t-shirt and jeans. At this point reports of the "discovery" ceased and all personnel were ordered to enter SCP-4962, which was left undisturbed.
3346
3347The following day, the researchers were instructed to enter SCP-4962 at 9AM and remove the subject. By this time, SCP-4962 had become agitated and began to scream, eventually causing security personnel to enter the containment chamber. Following this, the subject became unconscious. At 11:30PM, a group of researchers and three security guards were sent to SCP-4962, which they did.
3348
3349As of ██/██/████, SCP-4962 has not shown any symptoms of the effects of the drug it was administered with. It was discovered that if the subject was removed from the room during the first application of the drug, it would not become unconscious. This effect is believed to have been a side effect of the drug.
3350
3351Addendum:
3352
3353Addendum-1:
3354
3355On 05/01/20██, SCP-4962 was removed from the room in question. The room was found to be empty, and there was no trace of the subject. Following this, Security personnel were required to enter SCP-4962's containment chamber twice daily, to ensure that no additional instances were released.<|endoftext|>The federal Liberals will move "in the coming weeks" to make it easier for Canadians to access online health records, a senior Liberal source said Monday.
3356
3357Bill C-51 is expected to be tabled by the government this fall. It will amend the Canada Health Act, bringing federal agencies under the umbrella of the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act.
3358
3359According to the Canadian Press, the Liberals are considering increasing the number of electronic health records that can be accessed by government departments.
3360
3361"We have a plan to ensure that Canadians can access electronic health records under a streamlined access process," said the source.
3362
3363The Liberal source said C-51 will ensure that Canadians have access to electronic health records that are "just as good as those that they hold at a doctor's office."
3364
3365The Liberal source said that will involve "a modernized system that is interoperable with the private sector's systems" and that the government will also consider measures to encourage the development of electronic health records.
3366
3367It is not clear yet how the increased electronic health record access will be funded. The source said it would likely come through an increase in the Canada Health Transfer.
3368
3369The source also said that the government is looking at ways to "streamline" the approval process for electronic health record applications.
3370
3371The Liberals want to bring the Act in line with the privacy commissioner's recommendations from a report on the mandatory collection and storage of personal health information in 2012. Under that report, the federal government was to create a Privacy Commissioner to oversee the implementation of the regulations.

3379Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be located and contained in the basement of Site-██. The basement is to be lined with concrete and placed on a permanent foundation, with the area in which SCP-4962 is located to be marked as a Class-C Secure Area. The entire basement is to be sealed off from the outside world, in order to prevent SCP-4962 from being inadvertently removed. In case of a containment breach, all employees of SCP-4962 are to be instructed to immediately notify Site-██ Director █████.
3380
3381Description: SCP-4962 is a large room, with the walls, floor and ceiling of which are composed of a soft, rubbery material. The entire room is comprised of a single, square, two-story structure with a floor and ceiling made entirely of SCP-4962. The SCP-4962 room is an extremely well-guarded location, with cameras placed around the edges and in the corners. The room is completely quiet and lacks any sounds or other external stimuli.
3382
3383SCP-4962 can be opened at any time, with no adverse effects being experienced. Opening SCP-4962 is believed to be the only way to enter SCP-4962. Opening SCP-4962 does not require any physical force or tools, and is accomplished by means of a simple lock. Instances of SCP-4962 are incapable of being opened or closed by any means other than the use of the SCP-4962 lock, and will remain open unless a lock is placed on it. All attempts by anyone to open SCP-4962 were met with failure.
3384
3385SCP-4962 objects are made from an unknown material, and appear to be made from a material of some sort. SCP-4962 objects are composed entirely of SCP-4962, and have no other properties other than their ability to open and close SCP-4962. The objects can be opened, closed, and manipulated by any means that are suitable for SCP-4962 objects. SCP-4962 objects are made of a material similar to sandpaper, but is very soft and can be bent with extreme ease.
3386
3387SCP-4962 objects are capable of transporting individuals who touch them to a location where SCP-4962 is located. Individuals inside SCP-4962 will not be able to remember what location they have entered, and may be transported back to any point in time within SCP-4962. Individuals found in the wrong location will be transported back to the correct location approximately 10 seconds after entry, after which time SCP-4962 will disappear for a period of time before reappearing. These individuals are unable to see the location that they have been transported to, and will not be able to travel there.
3388
3389SCP-4962 is capable of moving between sites or instances of SCP-4962 with ease, and has been used to travel through instances of SCP-4962 at a rate of approximately 3 cm/s. It is not unknown for SCP-4962 to travel to locations within the Foundation with high speeds, often being transported in seconds. SCP-4962 will always travel in the same direction that SCP-4962 objects are traveling.
3390
3391SCP-4962 is capable of transmitting sound in a manner similar to that of a radio. It has been demonstrated that when the correct frequency is used, the sound is capable of reaching a distance of between 10,000 and 100,000 meters. The sound itself is not heard by any individual, and is believed to be entirely absorbed into the SCP-4962 object. The sound is described as being a low hum, similar to a car radio. The sound may be adjusted through the use of the dial on the side of the SCP-4962 object.
3392
3393Addendum 4962-1: On ██/██/2010, SCP-4962 was discovered at a site in the ████████ Mountains in ███████, ████. A Site-██ worker reported hearing a faint, metallic grinding sound over a 24-hour period. The sound was accompanied by a flash of light, which lasted several seconds. The sound was also described as having a high pitch. The site was searched and found to be in proximity to a large abandoned mining operation. The site was then sealed off.
3394
3395It was also found that a large, circular area was completely devoid of vegetation, with the sun shining directly into the center of the area. Within the area, several holes had been drilled through the surface of the ground, and water began flowing down into the center of the chamber. It was discovered that the water was full of ████████, which was found to be emitting a low hum.
3396
3397Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the water was being drawn from ████████████, which was also emitting a low hum. Water flows from the center of the chamber into the holes with ease, and then out of the holes into SCP-49

3402
3403Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be stored in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site-76's medical wing at all times. Due to its appearance, SCP-4962 should not be housed with any humanoid that cannot communicate verbally, and no instance of SCP-4962 should be allowed to interact with any other human beings, lest it lose its ability to communicate. SCP-4962 has been fitted with a GPS tracking device, and is to be monitored at all times during testing.
3404
3405Any humanoid personnel should be kept at least 6 meters from SCP-4962 at all times, to prevent it from accidentally communicating with its own containment cell.
3406
3407Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid entity with the appearance of 10-12 years old, with skin color ranging between purple and blue. It possesses the ability to manipulate objects, as measured by their mass and density, though it does not appear to be able to physically materialize these objects. It is completely incorporeal, and has never interacted with any known outside entities.
3408
3409SCP-4962's anomalous properties manifest when SCP-4962 interacts with any human in its containment cell. SCP-4962 will attempt to communicate what it is trying to communicate, usually by physically interacting with the subject, but will do so in a nonsensical manner, always ending with SCP-4962 being asked for something it does not possess. In instances where SCP-4962 does not communicate, all the instances of SCP-4962 in the containment cell will begin to manifest their anomalous abilities.
3410
3411It is theorized that SCP-4962's anomalous properties stem from a "maternal instinct" that it was born with. It has shown the ability to communicate with its containment cell by physically interacting with the humans within. SCP-4962 can mentally interact with these humans through sound waves, but does not manifest the abilities of SCP-4962's anomalous properties as a result. It is theorized that SCP-4962 is the result of an unknown biological process, or perhaps a genetic mutation.
3412
3413Addendum: SCP-4962 was discovered in a rural area of ██████, Germany when its containment cell was attacked by personnel from the ████████ Police Department. It was deemed to be a potential threat and the area was evacuated. SCP-4962 then disappeared from its containment cell but was tracked back to a nearby village, where a woman was found deceased in her home. The woman's husband, ████████, was immediately hospitalized due to shock, suffering from multiple broken bones.
3414
3415Addendum 2: Addendum 4962-01
3416
3417Addendum 4962-01: ████ years after its initial containment, SCP-4962 was recovered by Foundation agents who had been searching for a missing humanoid named SCP-4962-A. SCP-4962-A had previously disappeared under rather mysterious circumstances, and had been unable to be located by Foundation personnel. The body of ████████ was found in his bedroom, with the deceased woman wearing his wedding band.
3418
3419SCP-4962 was recovered and contained. While it is hypothesized that SCP-4962 possesses no memory of its containment, it has shown the ability to interact with the living humans in the containment cell.
3420
3421Addendum 4962-02
3422
3423Addendum 4962-02: SCP-4962 was found in a public restroom in ████████████, ███████, in the presence of an unidentified male. SCP-4962 attempted to interact with SCP-4962-A and failed. SCP-4962-A proceeded to assault SCP-4962 but was immediately incapacitated via the use of an electric shock device. SCP-4962-A then proceeded to remove SCP-4962-A's cell phone from its pocket, before being escorted to Foundation custody.<|endoftext|>I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I feel like I'm about to say something that will piss off a lot of people.
3424
3425I'm not a racist at all. As you may or may not know, I'm part of the first generation of white people in the United States, born in the 1970s.
3426
3427Now I'm old enough to have a family, and have learned a lot about the world and myself. I've learned that race is a social construct, that white people are not superior and that we are not inherently better than anyone else.

3429I am not saying that no one should think of themselves as superior or that not everyone ought to be treated equally. I am saying that it is a human right to have and to express a racial identity at all.
3430
3431I don't mean to say that racism is as much of a thing as it is in Europe, where I live. I'm not saying that, for example, white people shouldn't be allowed to come and live in an area of the country where black people are already

In the event that SCP-4962 is not contained within a humanoid cell, or if it is to be contained in another cell, the cell is to be modified with the use of standard humanoid containment procedures. SCP-4962 is not to be given any other personnel.
3438
3439Any personnel who come into contact with SCP-4962 are to be detained and questioned in accordance with standard humanoid containment procedures. If SCP-4962 is found to be a humanoid, and no other information is found, it is to be terminated immediately.
3440
3441Description: SCP-4962 is a humanoid female, estimated to be approximately eighteen years old. SCP-4962 has a body of roughly medium mass and height, with short hair. SCP-4962 displays human-like intelligence, though it appears to be incapable of speech, and displays no signs of sapience. SCP-4962's skin is brown in coloration, ranging from medium to dark.
3442
3443SCP-4962's eyes are of a grey, glass-like material, with no irises. SCP-4962's ears are similar to those of humans, though they lack a set of ears, and are instead composed of a set of two metal plates, connected by a small metal mesh, connected to the body of SCP-4962.
3444
3445SCP-4962's hands are of human-like proportions, measuring roughly 15 cm in length, and 10 cm in width. SCP-4962's fingers, when in use, are similar to those of a human hand. SCP-4962's wrists are human-like in length, and have approximately the same width and thickness as those of humans. SCP-4962 has several appendages, of an unknown nature, extending from its torso, down to the lower limbs. These appendages are not connected to any part of SCP-4962's body, and are not visible without removing SCP-4962's clothing.
3446
3447SCP-4962's lower torso is composed of a metallic, gray, flesh-like material. The length of SCP-4962's lower torso is roughly two meters, and width is approximately one meter. SCP-4962 has the ability to regenerate damaged flesh tissues, but only at the rate of approximately 1/10 of a millimeter per minute. When not in use, SCP-4962's lower torso is invisible, as is its torso. SCP-4962's upper torso is composed of a metallic, dark, flesh-like material. SCP-4962 has the ability to regenerate damaged flesh tissues, but only at the rate of approximately 1/3 of a millimeter per minute. When not in use, SCP-4962's upper torso is invisible, as is its torso.
3448
3449SCP-4962's arms are composed of at least five metal plates, connected by a small metal mesh, connected to the body of SCP-4962. SCP-4962's arms are roughly 2.5 meters in length, and roughly 1.5 meters in width. SCP-4962 has the ability to regenerate damaged flesh tissues, but only at the rate of approximately 1/5 of a millimeter per minute. When not in use, SCP-4962's arms are invisible, as is its arms.
3450
3451SCP-4962's legs are composed of two metal plates, connected by a small metal mesh, connected to the body of SCP-4962. SCP-4962's legs are roughly 2 meters in length, and roughly 1.5 meters in width. SCP-4962 has the ability to regenerate damaged flesh tissues, but only at the rate of approximately 1/5 of a millimeter per minute. When not in use, SCP-4962's legs are invisible, as is its legs.

Access to SCP-4962 is to be limited to researchers with level 3 clearance or higher, and to personnel with Level 4 clearance or higher. In the event of an SCP-4962-1 breach, or any breach of containment involving SCP-4962, it must be contained within the containment locker prior to being taken to Site-19 for testing.
3464
3465Description: SCP-4962 is an anomalous object resembling a standard office chair. The chair has no legs, but the seat is equipped with a single pair of legs. As of yet, no anomalous effect has been found to occur when SCP-4962 is in use, but there are reports of SCP-4962 being thrown around after a short period of use.
3466
3467SCP-4962 has been recovered from a number of locations over the last four years. Reports have indicated that SCP-4962 has been purchased or purchased by a number of people, and that many of the people who have owned SCP-4962 have been in possession of the chair for several years. As of 2012, no one has reported having seen SCP-4962 used, although it has been observed when other objects are being moved or removed from its location.
3468
3469The chair has a number of anomalies associated with it. As of 2012, these include:
3470
3471A single, white spot on the seat below the seat
3472
3473A single hair growing out of the seat on each side
3474
3475A single hair growing out of the seat on top
3476
3477A single hair growing out of the seat on the back of each leg
3478

3490
3491One of the legs is missing
3492
3493SCP-4962 also appears to be of an anomalous design in the presence of an anomalous organism, such as SCP-████. When a humanoid entity is in possession of SCP-████, SCP-4962 spontaneously becomes animate, and attempts to feed upon the entity. SCP-████ has not been proven to be able to move SCP-4962, although it has been shown that it is capable of taking a small bite of the chair.
3494
3495SCP-4962 was recovered on ██/██/19██ from a warehouse in ███████, Canada.
3496
3497Addendum: SCP-4962 was recovered from a warehouse in ███████, Canada. On ██/██/19██, a Foundation agent was attempting to recover SCP-████ when a male subject, later identified as SCP-4962-1, entered the warehouse and attacked him. Upon escaping, the agent was hospitalized with minor injuries. SCP-4962 was discovered to be a human male of Caucasian descent with an average height of 1.76 m, and described as having a shaved head and reddish-brown skin.
3498
3499SCP-4962 has been classified as Euclid.<|endoftext|>In the first part of my review of the 2016 NOLA Flea Market, I've been talking about the unique offerings for shoppers there. This year, the second installment covers the rest of the market, where there are more than 130 vendors selling all kinds of junk, from vintage clothing and antiques to furniture and tools.
3500
3501"It's a lot of fun," says Michael Nogueira, owner of the Nogueira House, a flea market, antique and craft dealer in the heart of French Quarter. "It's a great deal of fun for business owners. You can do a lot of different things."
3502
3503The first flea market, which opened on March 31, 2015, at the site of the once bustling St. Louis Farmers Market, was a huge success. The second market on Frenchmen Street has been a solid success for Nogueira and his wife, Tracey. Since the first flea market, Nogueira has worked to add a second location on a different block, and he's working on a third location on St. Charles Avenue, just across from the old St. Louis Union Station. The third flea market will be in November.
3504
3505But that's not the only new vendor in the French Quarter. There are now three craft vendors in the market, three antiques markets and an art market, as well as a pop-up pop-up bakery. There are also many smaller traders, such as a handful of artisans selling their wares at the flea market, which Nogueira says is one of the most popular flea markets in the country.

3517Description: SCP-4962 appears to be a Caucasian male with a height of 1.93 m and weight of 69 kg. SCP-4962's skin is pale blue. When examined with a standard scanner, SCP-4962 appears to be a human with some minor genetic disorders.
3518
3519SCP-4962's head consists of the entire brain of a human. SCP-4962 also possesses a full set of vocal cords, which it uses to communicate telepathically. SCP-4962's body possesses no internal organs, and thus does not require oxygen or other resources.
3520
3521SCP-4962's appearance makes it difficult to tell if SCP-4962 is human or not. The eyes of SCP-4962 are small with no pupils, and they have no pupils when viewed in the light of a normal camera. If the subject is wearing sunglasses, SCP-4962 appears to have no pupils.
3522
3523When a member of SCP-4962's family is exposed to SCP-4962, SCP-4962 will start speaking to that person, in front of the other family members present. SCP-4962 will often use this conversation to inform the family member of the existence of a potential mate for SCP-4962, and will also ask for information.
3524
3525SCP-4962's mother and father have both been in a relationship with SCP-4962 for at least two years. SCP-4962's father's death is unknown, as SCP-4962 has not shown any signs of guilt or remorse. SCP-4962 has shown an interest in SCP-4962's sisters and a desire to have a large family.

3610
3611Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be placed in a secure freezer within Site-19. SCP-4962 is to be monitored at all times. Any attempts to remove SCP-4962 from the freezer are to be met with force with no exceptions. SCP-4962 is not to be removed from the freezer, outside of testing or authorized research.
3612
3613Any personnel attempting to communicate with SCP-4962 are to be immediately terminated. Research personnel are to be instructed to attempt communication with SCP-4962 at any time, and are to be accompanied by at least one member of Mobile Task Force Zeta-4 ("Stalker").
3614
3615Description: SCP-4962 is a small, 3-5 inch long, grey mammal which is approximately 3.5 meters in height. It appears to be roughly the same size as a fox, but is significantly lighter. SCP-4962's eyes are red and are somewhat translucent, making it difficult to see in direct sunlight. SCP-4962 has a single brown collar and a long leash attached to the end.
3616
3617SCP-4962 has several distinguishing characteristics which make it difficult to determine whether or not to classify it as domestic animal. The first is its lack of ears. SCP-4962 has no vocal cords, making it unable to produce sounds. SCP-4962 also has no teeth, giving it a mouth that is approximately the size of a silver dollar.
3618
3619While SCP-4962 does not have any sort of sense of smell, it is able to sense moisture when lying in its sleeping location. SCP-4962 is also unable to sense heat, although it is able to detect the heat from the surrounding environment. The third characteristic that makes SCP-4962 unusual is that SCP-4962 is unable to speak. It is able to express basic verbal behavior, but when speaking, it always uses a combination of signs and body language. SCP-4962's behavior is similar to that of a large, domesticated dog, and it does not seem to be capable of verbal communication. However, when it is excited or upset, SCP-4962 will emit a single high-pitched sound. This sound may not be present in the immediate vicinity of SCP-4962.
3620
3621SCP-4962 is capable of vocalizing in a number of languages. It is able to communicate in a variety of ways, typically using a combination of human and animal signs. However, because it lacks a language of its own, all communication is done in English.
3622
3623Due to the nature of this anomaly, SCP-4962 is to be kept in an isolated containment area in Site-19. Any attempt to communicate with SCP-4962 by any means is to be met with force if possible.
3624
3625Addendum:
3626
3627SCP-4962 was first discovered on ██/██/20██ by Dr. ██████, the lead researcher in the initial containment of SCP-2921. The following is an excerpt from Dr. ██████'s interview with SCP-4962, taken on ██/██/20██:
3628
3629SCP-4962: Hey doc! I'm here! I wanna come out! I wanna see how you are!
3630
3631Dr. ██████: You know I'm not gonna let you out. You're not even gonna leave the cage.
3632
3633SCP-4962: But doc, I'm happy! I've been waiting for you to let me out and I'm not gonna leave until I see ya!
3634
3635Dr. ██████: Stop that from happening.
3636
3637SCP-4962: No, doc, I'm happy!
3638
3639Dr. ██████: No. No, you're not. You're not. You're being a fucking moron. Your happiness is being destroyed.
3640
3641SCP-4962: But doc, I love you!
3642
3643Dr. ██████: I don't care about your happiness. You're a moron.
3644
3645After a second attempt was made to communicate with SCP-4962, Dr. ██████ attempted to open the door to SCP-4962's enclosure using a variety of methods. However, SCP-4962 refused to respond to any of the attempts.
3646
3647Addendum: On ██/██/20██, Dr. ██████ was contacted by Dr. ████ to assist in the containment of SCP-4962. Although Dr. ██████ was hesitant to take part in the containment of SCP-4962 due to its unusual behavior, it was determined that SCP-4962 would not be removed from Site-19.
3648
3649On ██/██/20██, Dr. ██████ was in the testing room when SCP-4962 entered. SCP-4962 attempted to escape the testing room, resulting in Dr. ██████ being knocked unconscious.

3657Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site-19. Testing is to be performed in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-19 with a camera set to record video of SCP-4962 at all times.
3658
3659D-Class personnel are to be kept under observation for 3 hours after D-Class have been exposed; D-Class personnel are to be monitored for 1 hour after D-Class have left the observation chamber.
3660
3661Description: SCP-4962 is a male of European descent. SCP-4962 is of average build for a human male and has brown hair, black eyes, and a nose that is slightly long. The hair on the back of SCP-4962's head is not fully grown as a result of the hair on its face being shorter than average. The hair on SCP-4962's face is unusually long and thick, and is usually kept in a ponytail or a bun. SCP-4962's eyes are extremely black and are usually closed.
3662
3663SCP-4962 has the ability to animate objects by means of voice and mind. In SCP-4962's case, the objects seem to be animate in that the subject will speak or make an action that is perceived by others. For example, when speaking, SCP-4962 will emit a high-pitched shriek, produce a paper airplane, or put on a pair of glasses and attempt to see. When an action is perceived by others, SCP-4962 will attempt to perform the action. For example, if someone touches SCP-4962, SCP-4962 will pull the object to themselves.
3664
3665SCP-4962 will attempt to use the objects in question to communicate with other people and objects. SCP-4962 will attempt to connect with the objects by saying things like "Please don't leave me", "Thank you for coming all the way here", and "I'm sorry for making you come all the way to this place." When a person or object comes into contact with SCP-4962, they will perceive SCP-4962 as speaking in their native language.
3666
3667SCP-4962's speech is extremely loud and garbled, and sounds as if it consists of a series of random words. However, if a person or object comes into contact with SCP-4962, they will perceive SCP-4962 as speaking in their native language. SCP-4962 will then assume said language. SCP-4962's voice is so high-pitched that it is difficult to understand, and people with normal hearing are unable to hear it. SCP-4962 has been reported to have an ability to speak in English and French, but this has not been verified.
3668
3669While SCP-4962's voice sounds like gibberish to those with normal hearing, those who are able to hear it often claim that it is a coherent, coherent voice. This has been corroborated by at least two D-Class personnel, who claimed to have experienced a sensation similar to a humming sound when looking at SCP-4962.
3670
3671The manner in which SCP-4962 was first discovered is a closely held secret. SCP-4962 was first discovered by the ████ ██████ Foundation during their initial investigation into SCP-████. After discovering SCP-4962, the Foundation sent an Agent to investigate SCP-████. The Agent was able to witness SCP-4962 attempting to communicate with SCP-████, and then attempted to communicate with SCP-████. SCP-████ was successfully prevented from causing any damage to SCP-████ by agents from the ████ ██████ Foundation and the ████████ ██████ Foundation.

3675Recovered video of SCP-4962's most recent communication attempt.
3676
3677+ Show Video Interview - Hide Video Interview SCP-4962 has been using the following language since at least 10/11/14. Due to the fact that the video is unredacted and contains explicit language, this transcript is to be considered an accurate transcription of SCP-4962's words.
3678
3679I will now attempt to connect with you, Mr. ██████. I am sorry for being so loud. I would like to tell you why I was here. But I don't think that it would help. I am trying to connect with you, and I think that you would like it if I did. I have been trying to communicate with you my entire life, and for some reason, you are the one who seems to agree with me. I guess that is why I found you. Now that you are here, I hope that it will be easier for you. Please keep talking to me. Please keep talking to me, Mr. ██████.
3680
3681SCP-4962 is observed to attempt to communicate with any object that comes into contact with SCP-4962. Objects that SCP-4962 attempts to

3687Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4962 is to be kept in a soundproofed, temperature controlled containment locker at Site-19, equipped with a high-speed air gun and a portable air gun. A single non-powered air gun is to be used in the event of a breach of containment.
3688
3689Description: SCP-4962 appears to be a standard pistol, manufactured in the late 19th century. Examination of the frame reveals numerous engravings, some of which appear to date from the mid-1800s. The barrel appears to be in good condition, although the rear sight appears to be broken. When fired, SCP-4962 launches a projectile which is capable of causing bodily harm, although the effect of the projectile has yet to be determined.
3690
3691SCP-4962 has only been tested with non-lethal ammunition, and thus is considered non-anomalous. Due to the nature of the projectile itself, the effects of SCP-4962 would not be considered to be dangerous unless they were used in a threatening manner.
3692
3693It has been hypothesized, but is yet to be confirmed, that SCP-4962 may be a "deterrent" device intended to deter potential victims from attempting to use SCP-4962 in a weapon attack.
3694
3695SCP-4962 was recovered from an abandoned home in ████████ at the age of 1███. A fire was started at the house in which the item was found, and the victim was found suffering from severe burns and trauma. Upon questioning, the victim was found to be a ████ ████████ ████████, who was found to have no prior history of violent behavior.

3727 Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: The area surrounding SCP-4962 is to be patrolled by a team of 20 armed guards. The perimeter of SCP-4962 is to be patrolled by armed guards in vehicles with no doors or windows. No personnel are to approach the area surrounding SCP-4962. If any member of the security team is exposed to SCP-4962, that individual is to be terminated immediately. Any and all personnel exposed to SCP-4962 must be immediately quarantined. Any personnel exposed to SCP-4962 who cannot be terminated must be quarantined until proven otherwise by the Foundation. Containment Protocols are to be changed at least once every ██ years, to protect personnel from further exposure. Description: SCP-4962 is a large, circular object, approximately 30 meters in diameter, which is visible from the air above Area-77. SCP-4962 extends upward approximately 10 meters from the ground in a circular pattern. SCP-4962 is composed of metal, with varying levels of hardness. The surface of SCP-4962 is covered in a red mineral, which is opaque at the surface and translucent when viewed at a distance of two kilometers. At the center of SCP-4962 is a 1.5 meter-tall humanoid figure, which is composed of a series of interlocking humanoid figures. There is no apparent mechanism whereby these humanoid figures are connected. SCP-4962 is composed of two sets of arms, which are connected to each other by a thin steel shaft. Each of the upper-most arms has an unknown mechanical structure; these arms appear to have been constructed from some unknown metal, and are currently inactive. There are four, fully functioning, feet for SCP-4962 to walk on; the legs are covered in a black, sticky substance, which has been observed to expand as SCP-4962 moves. There is a single, long, flexible, gray tentacle protruding from SCP-4962's mouth. This tentacle is currently inactive and is not visible to the naked eye. SCP-4962 has no discernible mouth or nose, and has no visible mouth or nostrils. SCP-4962 has no arms, legs, or eyes. SCP-4962's head is comprised solely of a single, large, spherical mass of metal. SCP-4962's mouth is composed of two, extremely sharp teeth. The interior of the mouth is coated in a white, glue-like substance. The interior of the mouth is connected to a pair of thick, muscular tentacles. These tentacles are composed of a combination of two types of flesh: the outer layer consists of a mixture of flesh from the humanoid figures, and the inner layer consists of tissue from the outside of SCP-4962. When exposed to SCP-4962, the tissue expands until it reaches the size of the human skull, and is removed. This tissue is then mixed with a white glue-like substance and injected through an unknown opening in SCP-4962. The substance is then applied to the inside of the mouth, and pressed against the top of the human skull. The entire process takes approximately 4 hours. If the tissue is not removed, SCP-4962 will be rendered permanently inert and unable to move or speak. The tissue is a mixture of human brain and other tissues. It is unknown how the tissue is administered. As of ██/██/20██, SCP-4962 has been contained and contained successfully, with no personnel being harmed. The original method of containment was a simple steel spike, placed on the surface of SCP-4962. This spike had been removed from over ██ personnel who had been exposed to SCP-4962. Due to the nature of the metal, this method of containment has proven ineffective and has been replaced by a second method of containment. The first method of containment is a set of four, double doors. After the doors are fully closed, the door between the doors becomes the only exit from the structure. The doors are connected by a series of steel beams. In the event of a containment breach, one of the doors will retract, and the steel beam will be retracted, creating a large crack in the wall of the containment chamber. As of ██/██/20██, all doors in SCP-4962 have been fully sealed. Personnel entering the containment area are required to wear a full-body hazmat suit. The containment chamber is a steel cylinder approximately 4 meters in diameter and 4 meters high. It is currently not known what the purpose of the containment chamber is. It appears that the structure has been intended to contain large, non-anomalous animals. The containment chamber is currently in place, and appears to be functional. The containment chamber extends approximately ten meters downward and is composed entirely of steel plates. The plates are approximately 6.1 meters in height. The plates are composed of concrete and are roughly 1.6 meters wide. The bottom half of the containment chamber appears to be a flat steel plate. The metal
