Item #: SCP-1513
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1513 and SCP-1513-1 through 7 are to remain on the third floor of █████ Apartment complex in ████████ St. of the city of [REDACTED], Western Ireland. The apartment SCP-1513 is contained in is to be occupied by no less than three foundation personnel at any time and the rest of Apartment complex itself must remain closed to the public. Standard Foundation operating procedures Re: O5 Memoranda, ‘Public Secret’ are to be carried out to maintain semblance of normality and to dissuade public interest in the Apartment complex itself.
As of ██/██/20██ in order to further financially justify foundation presence on the remote edge of Western Europe and to compensate for the loss of Relay outpost [REDACTED], the containment site of SCP-1513 is to function as a safe house and outpost for foundation personnel operating in the region.
Description: SCP-1513 is above standard en suite bathroom outfitted with one toilet, one sink, a 408 x 406mm mirror with wooden frame arranged vertically above the sink, one cupboard containing various hygiene goods, one radiator, one shower-bathtub combination complete with shower curtain and one hot-press containing necessities such as spare toilet paper. And finally the water itself produced while utilising SCP-1513, henceforth designated as SCP-1513-1
Hygienic components such as toothpaste, toilet paper, shower gel, etc, do not show any anomalous properties until placed and utilised inside SCP-1513 and do not show any anomalous properties outside of SCP-1513. The exception to this is instances of SCP-1513-1, wherein water entering into the apartment complex has been confirmed to have no anomalous properties, however, upon entering the one of the components of SCP-1513, instances of SCP-1513-8 occur, with the difference only noticeable upon either thorough examination of the water, or upon blocking components of SCP-1513 creating further, more acidic instances of SCP-1513-1. Instances of SCP-1513-1 appear to have substantial quantities of beneficial minerals, both known, extremely rare and several unknown minerals. Different variations of SCP-1513-8 Display different kinds and quantities of mineral components. As of testing, all variations of SCP-1513-1 have been confirmed to be potable and drinkable regardless of PH level. (See Test-log)
Anomalous properties were not immediately evident upon discovery and it is unknown at present how long SCP-1513 has been active, although it is known that the last time construction work has taken place on the relevant section of the apartment complex took place on ██/██/████. All related persons to this event have been interviewed under false pretences and show no awareness of SCP-1513's anomalous properties in either memory or their internal records.
Anomalous effects of SCP-1513 do not become obvious until one attempts to impair, interrupt or otherwise interfere with the operations of any of SCP-1513’s component parts. Observable effects include water proffered from the tap of the sink changing colour and assuming highly acidic properties in order dislodge blockage from the sink. The colour varies depending on type of blockage and difficulty in dissolving it, it is also worth noting the acid does not seem to damage the ceramic of the sink bowl nor corrode the plumbing pipes of the sink. Upon sufficient mixing with water it loses its acidity, explaining why the acidic material does not seem to damage plumbing further on down the line. Curiously, tests with D-Class personnel has shown the acid to not be harmful to human tissue, although D-Class personnel have reported feelings of unease on contact with the acid, testing with animals has produced similar results. Other known anomalous effects of SCP-1513 include enhancing the capacities and functions of hygienic products brought into SCP-1513, (see test log). Other observable effects on personnel include feelings of satisfaction, security and confidence upon utilising SCP-1513 and, depending on which of SCP-1513’s components where utilised, improved physical and mental health.
Other tests have shown that the bathroom somehow keeps itself clean, paint deliberately dropped on the floor in three separate occasions have shown an additional anomalous effect. When observed either by living persons or electronic means, the paint slowly peels off the floor tiles and other surfaces where the paint was splashed and has been shown to deteriorate into dust over a period of 5 minutes. An electrical outage in the city of [REDACTED] lasting for an interval of 15 seconds has shown that when unobserved, the paint splashed in the bathroom disappeared during the time of the blackout, suggesting [DATA EXPUNGED]. A third occasion, again with paint was conducted, researchers left SCP-1513 and closed the door for a period of 2 minutes and returned, similar to the previous test the paint had disappeared. Tests involving breaking SCP-1513-4 showed subject was capable of self repair under similar circumstances.
Investigating the plumbing of the Apartment complex has revealed that the plumbing of SCP-1513 is connected to the rest of the complex. Water and waste material flows naturally from relevant pipes without incident. Of note, the only known instance of SCP-1513 affecting any other part of the apartment complex occurs whenever there is a blockage in the plumbing of the building that would interfere with SCP-1513's functions. SCP-1513 will then on activation of either SCP-1513-1, SCP-1513-2, or SCP-1513-3, not cease pouring acidic variants of SCP-1513-7 down the drains until the acidic material has eaten away at whatever blockage is preventing optimal operations, this goes so far as SCP-1513-1 refilling the cistern and flushing regardless of whether the plunger had been pulled repeatedly or not. To date there has never been a clogging or back up affecting operation of any of SCP-1513's component parts.
Discovery Log: Discovery occurred during the last three nights of Agent ██████’s mandatory sabbatical from the foundation. He was invited to stay at the apartment complex by a family member of one of Agent ██████’s friends. SCP-1513 was utilised many times over the three night stay with no detrimental effects. Anomolous properties where discovered while one of Agent ██████'s friends, who was drinking homemade soup out of a cup, accidentally spilled the thick substance into the sink. He proceeded to turn the cold water tap on fully to dislodge the soup. It was then SCP-1513-2 produced acidic liquid to dissolve the vegetable material and unblock the sinkhole. Agent ██████ then contacted the foundation as soon as possible and containment of SCP-1513 took place. Amnestics administered, property purchased by Foundation assets.
Test Log:
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-1
Subject: D-1356
Result: No anomalous effects. Although subject displayed a much friendlier continence for the rest of the day.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-1
Subject: Concrete, removal of obstructions
Result: Test to replicate previous results of SCP-1513 cleaning itself. Test was successful, while unobserved for a short period the concrete was removed by unknown means. No trace found.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-1
Subject: Concrete, removal of obstructions
Result: After flushing mechanism engaged with the lid of the Toilet’s refill mechanism removed for observation purposes. Water contained within had no anomalous properties; however when the flush mechanism was engaged liquid produced in the toilet bowl had the same acidic properties as that produced by SCP-1513-2 in the removal of blockages only magnified. Concrete was completely dissolved by acid created an acrid smoke. No observable change to the water within the refill mechanism occurred, until it reached the toilet bowl itself.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-4
Subject: Removal of hygienic contents
Result: No Anomalous effects. Hygienic products removed and tested elsewhere produced none of the effects observed in persons who utilised them while in SCP-1513. Further testing showed that use of hygienic products brought into SCP-1513 did not produce anomalous effects until after they were placed within SCP-1513-3 for a short period of time, (as of this test, 5 minutes).
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-3
Subject: D-1423, hygienic products, prolonged in depth study
Result: Highly beneficial effects on D-Class personnel, after prolonged use of commercially available toothpaste, mouthwash and dental floss placed within SCP-1513-3. D-Class displayed positive personality improvements, including a substantially improved vocabulary and a somewhat subtle sense of humour whereas previously subject’s vocabulary was very limited and had a course and vulgar sense of humour. Aside from this ‘silver tongue’ effect, physical effects include substantially cleaner tongue pallet and cleaner teeth, with subject showing signs of increased sense of flavour of food proferred, whereas before subject had shown preference for blander varieties of food. Though there still remains some yellow colouration, subject has remarked he no longer experiences pain when consuming ice cream whereas previously his teeth where sensitive to the cold. Testing has also showed that one of the subject’s missing teeth has started to grow back. Subjected terminated after 30 day period was over.
Dr █████████: I don’t think further testing with D-Class is necessary.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-3
Subject: Agent ███████
Result: Anomalous effects not apparent until after the lights in SCP-1513 where turned off, subject noted that while the rest of the room appeared to be dark in the mirror, the subject could see himself and anything he was holding clearly as if the lights had not been turned off. This included shadows that would have been cast by the lights had they been turned on. Subject proceeded to shave without incident, reporting extreme satisfaction and showing no detrimental signs towards skin health. In addition several cuts upon Agent ███████' face appeared more faint after use.
Dr █████████: Further testing of both the anomalous effect of the mirror and light sources and physical effects of SCP-1513 is clearly required.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-5
Subject: Two wet blankets, objects were deliberately placed only partially on SCP-1513-5 on both occasions. There does not seem to be any way to turn SCP-1513-5 on or off except through means of putting on the interior immersion heater of the apartment. It was off as of testing and has not emitted any heat throughout this observation.
Result: Effect similar to instances were SCP-1513 cleans itself. On first instance, Dr. BLANK left the room for a period of 1 minute. Upon entering the blanket was completely dry and folded neatly on SCP-1513-5. On the second instance a camera was set up to observe, process took nearly half an hour to complete and [DATA EXPUNGED]
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-6
Subject: Agent ██████
Result: No anomalous effects.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-6
Subject: Agent ███, subject’s back was tattooed with tribal symbol which subject displayed displeasure of still having, subject also had a tattoo of the Virgin Mary and a heart with an AK-47 emblazoned across it on his right arm.
Result: SCP-1513-6 produced acidic liquid similar to previous tests, but had a noticeably blue colouration. Subject reported feelings of unease during testing, but after exiting SCP-1513 she reported feelings of relief and displayed an improved disposition. Tribal tattoo on back was absent, yet tattoos on subject’s right arm remained. Subject terminated after time limit was up.
Dr.█████████: Fascinating, it seems that SCP-1513 can somehow tell whether or not a human utilising its components wants something to remain or to be removed. I may have to motion for SCP-1513 to be moved up to Euclid class if it comes to light it is sapient.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-6
Subject: Various foundation personnel with tattoos and other markings.
Result: In all instances where personnel displayed displeasure, admittedly or otherwise as revealed after being questioned post-examination, with markings upon their body, the marking was removed whereas other markings remarked upon fondly by personnel remained untouched. This was the case regardless of marking’s ink make up, age, condition or visibility or subject matter. Liquid emitted from SCP-1513-6 only changed slightly to a deeper blue hue when utilised by personnel with particularly old and faded markings. During testing, hygienic products utilised from the shower hanger within SCP-1513-6 showed properties similar to products contained within SCP-1513-3, with personnel displaying improved
Dr. █████████: It seems SCP-1513 has no concept of art and nothing else in testing has indicated any degree of sapience, I will rescind my recommendation of Euclid classification.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-7
Subject: Various objects and hygienic products
Result: No anomalous effects, except when toilet paper is placed within SCP-1513-7. Toilet paper retains a degree of warmth when removed for use. The effect is continuous even after 30 days removed from SCP-1513-7. The effect is lost if Toilet roll is removed from SCP-1513 however.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-6
Subject: Waste material from SCP-███
Result: [DATA EXPUNGED] it took three days to remove the acrid stench from the rest of the apartment. No lasting damage to SCP-1513 occurred.
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: SCP-1513-1-7
Subject: Agent B██████, subject was instructed to use every component of SCP-1513 to better himself and was not permitted to leave SCP-1513 until a period of 7 hours had passed.
Result: [DATA EXPUNGED] will not stop speaking backwards, extended smile to unnatural proportions, observers noted extreme feelings of unease and even open hostility and fear of [REDACTED], otherwise in good health but unresponsive.
Dr.█████████: I want to formally apologise for any inconvenience caused to both my staff and my superiors, Agent B██████'s disturbing behaviour was completely unforeseeable. I recommend updating SCP-1513 to Euclid until we better understand its long term effects on users.
O5-█: From this point on, no personnel is allowed to utilise SCP-1513 for a continuous period extending an hour. I do not care how good that damn shower is.
Test Log:
Researcher: Dr. █████████
Component Used: All Components to various extents.
Subject: Various D Class personnel noted for negative hygiene habits and health conditions, extensive testing for periods not extending longer than one hour.
Result: D Class personnel who utilised SCP-1513 simulated all previous anomalous results in previous tests. Of note is subjects who utilised SCP-1513 a number of times not exceeding the allowed time period displayed significantly improved mental and physical health. One subject, a severe schizophrenic with many additional psychological problems, showed an extreme difference in temperament, mental stability and personality changes, including healthier sleeping patterns, more personable and polite demeanour, extremely reduced psychological problems to negligible degrees. Others with various skin conditions, oral, aural, visual and various health conditions to greater or lesser degrees regarding bowels or digestive tract, showed considerable reduction or even elimination of their conditions through extensive testing. All subjects terminated after 30-day limit or else [REDACTED] appropriate authorisation.
Dr █████████: I am tentatively recommending the use of SCP-1513 as a possible means of psychological conditioning and treatment and for further testing on possibly reversing the effects of other SCPs upon personnel of interest/subjects too valuable to terminate normally. Physical conditioning would require further testing, we don't want a repeat of [DATA EXPUNGED]
