Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Euclid (maybe keter? not sure) - author's note
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be contained on a single sheet of paper in a locked standard Foundation filing cabinet, and placed under guard. Only one sheet containing SCP-XXX is to be permitted at a time. Unless for testing, researchers with knowledge of the precise nature of SCP-XXX are to be kept under surveillance for any vocalizations. Should a researcher speak SCP-XXX, they are to be detained in a soundproofed room until expiration, and amnestics are to be administered to witnesses who heard the initial vocalization. Affected researchers may opt to be terminated prior to their expiration from the effects of SCP-XXX. Following the events of [REDACTED], any personnel who vocalize SCP-XXX are to be sedated and terminated as soon as possible.
For containment protocol regarding SCP-XXX outbreaks outside of the Foundation, see Incident Protocol XXX-a.
Description: SCP-XXX is a multisyllablic word, with no definitions in any known language. The origin of the word is unknown, although research into outbreaks in the past are underway. SCP-XXX confers no anomalous effects upon reading, hearing, or knowing it. There have been no signs of inherent memetic properties. The anomalous effects of SCP-XXX manifest upon a human speaks the word aloud.
Subjects display no outwards signs of effects after speaking the word, and behave as they normally would. 36 hours after the original speaking of the word, symptoms manifest. The subject begins to loudly vocalize the word, regardless of their current location or activity, for approximately 30 seconds. At this point, the subject begins to experience a stroke, and subsequently expires. Autopsies reveal that subjects suffer an intense intracranial hemorrhage shortly before the vocalizations begin. This event has been shown to occur in all subjects who speak SCP-XXX aloud, regardless of the administration of amnestics. To date, there have been no survivors of the hemorrhage.
Individuals who hear the vocalizations of the victim exhibit no compulsion or anomalous behavior. They do, however, express a vivid memory of SCP-XXX due to the circumstances of its vocalization. Class-C amnestics have shown to be effective at removing SCP-XXX from a witness' memory, and should be administered to prevent such witnesses from vocalizing SCP-XXX in the future.
Incident Protocol XXX-a: Agents are to monitor news outlets for any incidents that bear a resemblance to an SCP-XXX outbreak. Once one has been detected, Mobile Task Force Gamma-3 ("Thought Police") is to be dispatched to the location at once. A quarantine is to be created containing all witnesses to the SCP-XXX outbreak. Witnesses are to be administered Class-C amnestics and gagged to make proper vocalization impossible, and placed in MTF Gamma-3's soundproofed vans for 36 hours. At such a time, all affected subjects should expire, and remaining witnesses will be incapable of repeating SCP-XXX. Survivors are to be administered Class-A amnestics and returned to their homes.
Addendum XXX-█: During local news coverage of [REDACTED], a member of the crowd, later identified as Z████████ ███, abruptly charged the news crew, seizing control of the microphone and briefly hijacking the broadcast. The transcript of the broadcast beginning with this incident was as follows.
J███ ███████: "I tell you, B██, I've never seen a crowd so excited to see [REDACTED] in my life! They're simply brimming with energy. For exam- sir, excuse- sir-"
There is a scuffle as the man shoves at the newscaster and obtains his microphone, before rapidly speaking into the camera.
Z████████: "Rejoice! Her time is near! The hour of hymns approaches! Please, please join me today, please join me in-"
Officer of the local police department pushes through the crowd and attempts to restrain the subject. Microphone is dropped, but words are still understandable during the altercation.
Subject begins to vocalize SCP-XXX repeatedly, until officer subdues him using a stun gun. J███ retrieves his microphone and the camera is refocused on him.
J███: I… I do not know what that was about, B██. I mean, who in the hell is [DATA REDACTED].
Following the events of the broadcast, Incident Protocol XXX-a was enacted on a town-wide scale. Due to the live broadcast, monitoring and action by MTF Gamma-3 was required for the next two weeks in order to ensure that all victims had expired and that all witnesses had been given proper amnestics. Concluding the event, a total of ███ victims appear to have suffered deaths related to SCP-XXX.

| SCP-XXX in containment. |
Item #: SCP-XXX
Object Class: Euclid, and isn't it just swell?
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXX is to be contained in a locked 4 x 4 x 4 meter steel box in the center of a 20 x 20 x 20 meter square room to keep it away from Agent X. Guard shifts outside of the room are to change every 8 6 4 hours, with exiting guards undergoing psychiatric evaluation to test for lingering effects of SCP-XXX's proximity.
Description: SCP-XXX is a children's "Space Patrol Cosmic Smoke Gun", based on the hip American television series that ran from 1950 to 1955. It appears to be fully functional, firing a small amount of powder, SCP-XXX-1, when fired. The anomalous effects of SCP-XXX manifest themselves in human sapient individuals that spend prolonged periods of time within ██ meters of the object. The process appears to start slowly, with slight verbal tics during conversation, as well as a marked increase in enthusiasm. Individuals removed from the presence of the Cosmic Smo SCP-XXX show no negative effects, save for the aforementioned increase in excitability. The effects continue to pop up manifest with prolonged exposure to SCP-XXX. The time required to advance to the next stage appears to be cumulative with each previous exposure.
Continued exposure results in a dropping reduction in apparent intelligence, and inclusion of modern American 1950's language. The next progression is the desire to obtain SCP-XXX and utilize it to vanquish evil what the subject claims to be evil, by firing SCP-XXX-1 from the gun. Individuals who make direct skin contact with SCP-XXX-1 show a really fast an expedited progression of SCP-XXX's effects, their mental states rapidly regressing to a child-like level. Effects of SCP-XXX-1 on bad guys with the set goal in mind of committing intergalactic crime is ████████. Its really useful against the evil forces of Prince Baccarratti and his henchmen! Kids who use it want to join the goods guys and bring the heat and save the galaxy! If I use it enough, I might be able to get Commander Corry's attention, and he'll let me join the Space Patrol, and we can stop all the crime in the galaxy an
The final stage of SCP-XXX's effects is a complete mental regression to a juvenile mental state, with the belief that the characters of "Space Patrol" exist. This marks an apparent complete break from reality. The effects appear to be irreversible.
cannot be spoken or written about
whenever the object is in mind, the subject cannot vocalize, or write/type, even when not discussing the item. Just having it in mind causes effect.
any thoughts regarding the subject are instead performed in pantomime
1: the article number held up in fingers
2: hold hand up to three levels, return to the middle one for Euclid
3: hold up box, rotate to show its dimensions. Set it down, march in front of it pantomiming a gun being held.
4: Open box, retrieve object. Hold object up for camera, gesture for it. Mime using object for its regular use. Nod head/thumbs up.
5: point to object, point to head. Open mouth to speak, shake head. Act as if writing on hand, shake head. Act as if typing, shake head. Gesture dramatically and widely. Nod head.
6: Hold up object again. Open mouth to speak, shake head. Put object down, walk away from it. Open mouth to speak, shake head. Hold up a clock. Shake head, put it down, swipe hands in front in a "safe" umpire motion.
7: Move to the camera, end take.
8: New take, stand near object in box. Walk out of frame, retrieve D-class. D-class speaks: "Hey, man, alright. What do you want me to do." Gesture to box. D-class: "What, the box?" Walk over, retrieve object from box, hold up for D-class. D-class opens mouth to speak, but gestures to the object instead. Looks at hand in confusion. Opens mouth again, arms raise in dramatic "confused" motion. Looks at arms in bewilderment. Moves mouth to speak while pointing at Researcher while backing away, looking startled. Researcher nods and puts the object into the box, before gesturing off-camera. Hands grab D-class. Researcher walks to camera. End take.

| The view through SCP-YYYY. |
Item #: SCP-YYYY
Object Class: Safe. That's what they all are, at first.
Special Containment Procedures: Can't have things like this out and about. Things that mess with your mind just ain't natural. Best place to keep this little snag in reality is on the wall in a room 'bout the same size as a personal office. Just feels right to put it there, all the docs agree. No one's allowed past the flatfoot standing guard outside without at least a security clearance of Level 2. Poor mook has never even seen what he's guarding. Subjects leaving the room are to be kept under a close eye until the effects wear off. No need for amnesiacs. They won't remember anyway.
Description: SCP-YYYY is just your average window frame. At least, that's how it looks. Glass panel in the frame separates us from them. No matter which side you look at the thing from, you always see the same thing. Street view, from a few stories up. Just the perfect view from my office your standard office building. The entire street appears to be in grayscale. Black and white, but plenty of shades of gray. More than fitting for our kind of work. People and cars pass by on the street below, and the sun rises and sets in time with Central Standard Time. The general dress and appearance of the folks and make of the cars all seem to be modern from around 19██. None of the folks down on the street seem to notice any behavior in through the window. It's almost like it's a camera, rather than a window. We can see in, but they can't see us. We tend to do a lot of that around here, don't we?
The particular effect of SCP-YYYY occurs when a human being looks through it from either side. They find themselves compelled to narrate their actions aloud, as well as occassionally monologue to themselves without realizing that they're vocalizing. All speech and writing take on the general tone of a 1950's detective film. Best way to describe the view, really. Spending prolonged amounts of time looking into the window, about █ hours or so, results in subjects beginning to take on the grayscale appearance of the folks on the street, though not one of 'em has expressed any displeasure at the sensation. If ██ minutes fly by without looking through SCP-YYYY, even just glancing at it, the subject expresses a desire to "Drink the memories away." You don't even need to give the bastards any booze; they show signs of growing increasingly drunk, with a morose, almost depressed mood taking them over. Common vocalizations at this time is that they "need to go back", and that they "owe the big guy". Eventually the poor schmuck will pass out from the booze. When the subject wakes up, they express discomfort as if they had a pounding headache, with common signs of a hangover. They also express that the most recent event that they can remember is walking into SCP-YYYY's office containment room. Can't remember a thing about SCP-YYYY itself. Note that the subject remains monochrome. To date, not a single subject that became grayscale has reverted from that state.
Addendum YYYY-1:
Before leaving the office containment room, something caught my eye. Someone through the window. This is the first individual on the other side of SCP-YYYY that seems to take any notice of me looking through it. Maybe they're catching on to us? Subject i[DATA REDACTED]ost my colo[DATA REDACTED].

| SCP-1971 in containment, taken with a camera from 2005. |
Item #: SCP-1971
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1971 is to be contained in a 10 x 10 x 15 meter room, the current SCP-1971-1, and with a single door with a glass window. No less than two guards are to be stationed outside the door at any given time. Under no circumstances are individuals to enter SCP-1971-1 after 12:00 AM on January 1st, 1972 without testing permission from personnel with Level 4 or higher clearance see Addendum 1971-B. A neighboring room should be designated for interrogations. The agents stationed outside should look through the glass on the door for any objects or individuals who appear inside of SCP-1971-1. Should any individuals emerge from SCP-1971-1, subjects are to be detained and interrogated by the guards standing outside. Once interrogation is completed, subjects are to be terminated and their remains incinerated. It is imperative that SCP-1971 does not leave the current SCP-1971-1, and absolutely never should it be allowed outside of a building. Should transport become necessary due to a containment breach, SCP-1971 contained in a vehicle at any time it is not in a building. Due to its nature, SCP-1971 cannot be transported after 12:00 AM January 1st 1972. Information regarding necessary changes to SCP-1971's containment procedures must be sent through notes placed inside of SCP-1971-1.
show="-= DATA LOCKED UNTIL JANUARY 2ND, 1972 =-" hide="-= TIME CHECK CONFIRMED: ACCESS GRANTED =-"/]
The two guards stationed outside SCP-1971-1, Agent Bucur and Agent West, are to be terminated immediately. This is to prevent the possibility of any of them using SCP-1971's effects to encounter themselves and causing a temporal paradox and potential ZK-Class End of the World Scenario. The effects of an individual encountering himself in an alternate timeline is unknown, but the risk is too great to take. - Dr. R██████

Description: SCP-1971 is a lava lamp, showing no physical abnormalities or any irregularities that would distinguish it from other lava lamps of the same make and model. Its anomalous properties manifest within the room it exists in, designated SCP-1971-1. From 12:00 AM January 1st, 1971, until 11:59 PM December 31st, 1971, SCP-1971-1 can be entered without anomalous effect triggering its anomalous effect, and SCP-1971 can be interacted with. However, it should be noted that time spent in SCP-1971-1 should be as brief as possible.
After 12:00 AM January 1st, 1972, the object's anomalous abilities manifest. Any time that any entrance to SCP-1971-1 is opened, including doors and windows, said entrance closes after approximately 10 seconds, sealing itself completely. This event is designated Event 1971-A. No attempts to keep the entrance open during Event 1971-A has been successful. After the entrance has closed, it can be opened again from either side. Upon exiting SCP-1971-1, subjects exit the same time and date as they normally would, save for being in the year 1971. Subjects maintain all memories and belongings they possess upon exiting SCP-1971-1. During Event 1971-A, it has been recorded that the door to SCP-1971-1 closes at the same time during every given year. In the case of multiple objects or entities other than SCP-1971 being within SCP-1971-1 during Event 1971-A, only the objects or entities that entered SCP-1971-1 in the year furthest from 1971 are found when the door is opened. No individuals or objects lost during this process have been recovered. A similar effect occurs when individuals undergo Event 1971-A on February 29th of a given year. Testing has verified that time passes normally in SCP-1971-1, although exiting still results in exiting into 1971.
It appears that once Event 1971-A has occurred at least once, a new timeline forms beginning with that date and time in 1971. As such, the results of any tests conducted on SCP-1971 cannot be observed by the researchers conducting the test. In addition, it appears that each new timeline is affected only by occurrences of Event 1971-A from the timeline immediately prior to it. As such, in order to record all knowledge gained from experiments conducted on SCP-1971, Document 1971-X is to be sent into SCP-1971-1 with a D-Class subject, who is instructed to inform the researchers in 1971 of the nature of SCP-1971 and provide them with the latest iteration of Document 1971-X. Any results from individuals exiting SCP-1971-1 is to be recorded, labeled Output, as well as any tests initiated during that timeline, labeled input. Document 1971-X is to be cumulative, containing all previous iterations. A copy of this document is to be attached to the front of Document 1971-X. The document is to be sent through SCP-1971-1 on January 1st, 2███.
Document 1971-X is currently in its seventh iteration.

Addendum 1971-B: A test scheduled through contact with Dr. N███ in 20██ resulted in an unexpected discovery. We were scheduled to receive a D-Class subject with a [REDACTED]. However, the D-Class was not inside at the conclusion of Event 1971-A. The only individual present during retrieval was an armed soldier who attempted to attack Agents Bucur and West upon exiting. He was subdued, but died shortly afterwards. Toxicology confirms an unknown poison in his body, and research is ongoing into this development. His weaponry was also unlike any we are aware of, and our databases are coming up empty with information regarding the insignia on his uniform. We urge that future researchers cease experiments with SCP-1971 immediately, and instead focus their efforts on ensuring that its existence remains completely secret, and preventing any information leaks. We need to know who is accessing SCP-1971-1, and when. - Dr. R██████

Item #: SCP-ZZZ
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-ZZZ is to be kept in a locked box under guard at all times. No individual is permitted to use SCP-ZZZ without authorized permission from personnel with at least Level 3 clearance. Should a need arise to restrain an individual using SCP-ZZZ, personnel are to personally restrain the subject, and attempt to remove SCP-ZZZ. Subjects who have removed SCP-ZZZ are to be detained for debriefing. Subjects who show proficiency in maneuvering while wearing SCP-ZZZ may be used for further testing involving the object with authorization from Level 3 personnel Level 5 personnel. See Addendum ZZZ-A. All testing involving SCP-ZZZ is to take place in a large 100 m x 100 m x 100 m room to permit observation of the subject during testing. The floor of this chamber is to be heavily cushioned to help protect subjects upon cessation of testing should they remove SCP-ZZZ while suspended above ground level. Testing is to begin only in the designated area of the test chamber.
Description: SCP-ZZZ appears to be a Soviet Russian World War II-era gas mask. Testing has revealed that the object still fulfills its original role, although whether this is due to its anomalous properties or retained functionality is unknown. The anomalous properties manifest when a human subject places SCP-ZZZ onto their head. Subjects report that their view from within the object is radically different from their view prior to wearing it. Due to the nature of the object, recording the view from within SCP-ZZZ is impossible, but subjects report that it appears to be a large series of rooms and corridors with a mechanical aesthetic. This landscape has been designated SCP-ZZZ-01. The walls and floors of SCP-ZZZ-01 seem to be constructed of steel, although appearing tarnished and worn. While wearing SCP-ZZZ, subjects are able to move around the layout of SCP-ZZZ-01, allowing them to walk through walls, ceilings, and objects unhindered. It appears that sapient beings are still capable of physically interacting with the subject, while objects such as weaponry seem to move through the subject. For a test log of various properties identified through experiments with SCP-ZZZ, see the attached test log.
| Note: All tests begin in a designated area of the test chamber, due to the ground level in that location being identical to the ground level in SCP-ZZZ-01. | ||

| D-34853 | D-34853 walked down an empty, straight corridor, before bumping into a presence subject could not see or hear. | D-34853 walked into another subject who stood in front of him, and was incapable of passing through her. |
| D-21239 | D-21239 located a set of stairs leading upward, and ascended. | D-21259 appeared to climb a set of invisible stairs into the air. Removing SCP-ZZZ caused D-21259 to fall from his height and land on the ground, injuring his ankle. |
| D-39924 | D-3994 walked down a corridor and stopped and held out his arm when instructed. | D-39924 stood before a wall placed in his path and raised his hand, extending it into the wall. Subject was then instructed to remove the mask with his other hand. Subjects arm severed at the elbow and at the wrist, causing his hand to fall on the other side of the wall. Cracks and fissures formed in the wall as well. Analysis shows portions of the wall inside of the flesh of the arm inside of the wall, as well as damage to the structural integrity of the wall. Subject went into shock and expired. |
| D-27350 | D-27350 traveled a long distance through corridors and stairwells. Subject reported hearing sounds of movement within the corridor he was in and removed SCP-ZZZ. | D-27350 was seen to move around the test chamber, changing altitude multiple times before entering a state of panic and removing SCP-ZZZ, dropping approximately a meter onto the cushioned floor. |
| D-27350 | D-27350 fell to the floor, but was capable of standing up and walking unhindered for a few steps before reporting more sounds of movement behind him and removing SCP-ZZZ. | D-27350 was restrained by ropes to a chair and had SCP-ZZZ placed on his head. Subject fell through the chair and onto the ground below, before standing up through the chair and walking forward. Subject then entered a state of panic and removed SCP-ZZZ. |
| D-27350 | None. | D-27350 entered a heightened state of paranoia following the previous test, developing insomnia as a result. Subject spent large amounts of time looking over his shoulder, even when a wall was directly behind him. When questioned as to this new behavior, subject stated, "I think it can still see me. I think it's following me, man." |
| D-27350 | Unknown. | D-27350 was physically restrained from behind by Agent K█████. Subject showed no signs of being able to move out of the agent's grasp, despite struggling. Subject looked forward and entered a state of panic, screaming through SCP-ZZZ while attempting to struggle more. Subject's body split apart in Agent K█████'s grasp seconds later, the subject's body severed at the torso. The agent was able to recover SCP-ZZZ from the subject's head. Analysis of the body suggests that it was sliced at the mid-torso with some sort of bladed object long enough to reach the full width of his body. Death appeared to be instantaneous. Agent K█████ received no injuries. |
Addendum ZZZ-A: Following the death of D-27350, all tests conducted involving SCP-ZZZ are to involve new subjects who have never undergone tests with the object prior. It is unknown what precisely occurred to D-27350, but I believe it is for the best if we don't run the risk of a repeat performance. — Dr. N███

Agent K█████ sent to observe the humanoids, designated SCP-ZZZ-02. Agent was outfitted with a small microphone to record his log. Dr. N███ is observing.
Agent K█████ wears SCP-ZZZ and follows the path mapped from the previous experiment by D-27350.Dr. N███: "Agent, can you hear me?"
Agent K█████: "Barely. You're really muffled. I am approaching the chamber. I think I can- What are they doing in there?"Agent crouches and looks forward for approximately a minute before continuing.
Dr. N███: "What do you see?"
Agent K█████: "I'm going to try to get closer."Agent descends in altitude three steps before stopping once more.
Agent K█████: "I see four entities. Three of them are standing in the center of the room, facing each other. I think they're talking. Can you hear them?"
Silence for twenty-five seconds.
Dr. N███: "Go on, Agent."
Agent K█████: "They're all looking at something in the middle. Is that a machine? I can't tell from here. A fourth one is facing one of the corridors leading out of the room. It almost appears that it's on watch. I th-"Agent stops himself and appears to straighten up a bit. No motion or sound for approximately ten seconds. Agent appears to be holding his breath. Agent stands up and turns around, quickly moving back up in altitude.
Dr. N███: "Agent? What are you doing? Report."
Agent K█████: "-saw me. I need to-"Agent reaches up for SCP-ZZZ but appears to be stopped. Agent starts to move upwards in altitude without moving his feet, hovering upwards. Agent begins screaming.
Dr. N███: "Someone, get a ladder. He's about forty meters up. Someone, get me a ladder!"
Research Assistant W███████ exits the test chamber. Agent K█████ continues screaming and gesturing his hands at SCP-ZZZ, although his arms remain motionless at his chest. Agent begins to descend back down, although his legs are seen kicking at the air, rather than walking.
Agent K█████: "Put me down! Put me down! Fuck, help me! Help me!"
Dr. N███: "Hold on Agent, we're getting you down. Agent, can you hear me?"
Agent K█████: "Oh God, it's staring right at me!"Agent seen to level out at approximately 9 meters above ground level and begin hovering backward across the test chamber. Agent continually kicks his feet forward, although they stop midair, as though meeting resistance.
Agent K█████: "What the fuck is that? Oh God, don't put me in there-"
Agent lowers slightly and violently moves backwards, before standing upright and moving forward. Agent swings his hands forward, appearing to be stopped by some object or force.
Agent K█████: "Let me out! You need to let me-"
//Agent looks down as the bottom of his pants begin to grow wet, with dampness rising along his pants.
Dr. N███: "Where the fuck is that ladder? Hang in there, K█████. We're getting you out."
Agent K█████: "What is this stuff? I-"Agent's voice fades off as he appears to sway slightly. Agent's shirt up to his chest is now wet. The water level appears to rise until his upraised arms have a solid layer of moisture on them. Agent's movement has stopped.
Agent K█████: "I can't move. Oh God, I can't move. What is this stuff? They're all just looking at me. I can't hear what they're saying. I don't know what- Wait. One of them looks like it's holding a fucking-"
Agent is heard taking a few slow breaths before attempting to speak again. It appears his face and the microphone remain dry due to the airtight fit of SCP-ZZZ.
Agent K█████: "It appears to be holding some sort of device. It keeps looking down at it and then up at me and pushing buttons on it. Is it- is it taking notes? I can't tell."
Research Assistant W███████ returns to the test chamber with a large ladder. Dr N███ immediately begins to assist him in stabilizing it beneath Agent K█████. There is difficulty due to the cushioned floor of the test chamber. Dr. N███ ascends the ladder and reaches Agent K████. SCP-ZZZ is removed from the agent's head and dropped onto the cushioned floor. Agent K█████ and Dr. N███ are seen struggling briefly as the agent drops down onto the ladder and regain his balance, gasping repeatedly before the two are able to descend.
The following transcript is a portion of Agent K█████'s debriefing following Experiment ZZZ-G.
O5-█: "Tell us what occurred after the instance of SCP-ZZZ-02 grabbed you."
Agent K█████: "It brought me down into the room where the other ones were. They were all just looking at me. Their eyes were completely white, and they just wouldn't stop look-
O5-█: "And then what happened, Agent?"
Agent K█████: "Sorry. It put me in some sort of a tube and closed the door. Some kind of thick liquid started flooding up from below me, and I couldn't move at all."
O5-█: "Yes, we are currently running tests on samples of the liquid recovered from your suit. You said one of them had a device?"
Agent K█████: "Yeah. It kept pushing buttons on it and looking back up at me. It was like it was taking notes. Like it was studying me. It was almost like-"
O5-█: "Yes, Agent?"Agent does not respond.
O5-█: "Agent K█████, answer me."
Agent K█████: "It's almost like I was the anomaly."

Item #: SCP-ZZZ
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-ZZZ is to be kept in a locked box guarded by two agents at any point in time. Testing involving SCP-ZZZ requires the authorization of Level 4 personnel is to be discontinued indefinitely. Test subjects are to wear a small full-duplex two-way radio underneath SCP-ZZZ to maintain contact with researchers. Testing is no longer to be carried out by D-Class personnel due to the risk of losing SCP-ZZZ. Should test subjects enter any sort of danger, they are to remove SCP-ZZZ immediately.
Description: SCP-ZZZ is a Soviet World War 2-era gas mask. A seal test performed on the object suggests that the object retains its original functionality. The anomalous effects of SCP-ZZZ activate when a human places SCP-ZZZ on their head. Approximately one second after SCP-ZZZ is fully secured on the subject's head, the subject vanishes from view, and is no longer detectable. The subject reports no feeling of motion at this time. Testing has revealed that two-way radios remain capable of both receiving and transmitting despite the subject being undetectable. Upon wearing SCP-ZZZ, test subjects report completely different surroundings than they were in prior to wearing SCP-ZZZ. Subjects have reported that it appears barren and inhospitable, with tall black towers filling the area. Subjects have also sighted entities in this landscape. These entities, designated SCP-ZZZ-1, are have been described as tall, nude humanoids with dark skin that has a thick coat of an unknown viscous substance. Instances of SCP-ZZZ-1 also have large amounts of eyes and mouths covering their body. Upon removing SCP-ZZZ from their head, subjects reappear in the same location they were in when they put it on. For more information, see Test Log ZZZ.

| Test Subject | Reported events | Notes |
| D-67393 | Subject found herself in building of an unknown black substance. After surveying the room for approximately 15 seconds, subject reportedly heard sounds of movement and removed SCP-ZZZ in a panicked state, reappearing in the test chamber. | First test involving SCP-ZZZ to determine its effects. Due to the risk of losing SCP-ZZZ, trained agents are to be used in place of D-Class subjects. |
| Agent C███████ | Agent found himself in the same room described by D-67393. Approximately two minutes were spent exploring the room, which Agent C███████ reports contained multiple hollow black cubes. Agent was capable of descending down the building with running into any interference. Upon reaching the second floor, agent heard sounds from the floor below. Agent hid himself behind one of the black cubes and observed two instances of SCP-ZZZ-1. Agent then removed SCP-ZZZ. | First sighting of SCP-ZZZ-1. Agent C███████ reports that he remained undetected by the two instances of SCP-ZZZ-1. |
| Agent U█████ | Agent was selected due to her stealth training. Agent found herself in the same room as Agent C███████ was in when he removed SCP-ZZZ. Sounds of movement were heard on higher floors, prompting the agent to head downstairs and out of the building. Agent reportedly saw many instances of SCP-ZZZ-1 wandering outside of the building. Each individual seemed to have unique mutations, and occasionally uttered low, grating sounds. Agent successfully made her way past more of the structures while avoiding detection. Agent followed four instances of SCP-ZZZ-1 for observation. The group encountered a fifth instance of SCP-ZZZ-1, and one of the group steps forward. Agent observed the two entities violently assault one another, coating the nearby ground and observing entities with unknown fluid and thick viscera. Agent removed SCP-ZZZ. | The structure in which D-67393 appeared seems to only be one of many. Due to the violent nature of SCP-ZZZ-1, further exploration will require that agents be armed to defend themselves. |

Exploration Log ZZZ-D
Test commences on June 3, 20██.
Agent K█████ outfitted with a two-way radio earpiece and a standard Foundation sidearm with additional ammunition. Agent's mission is reconnaissance.
Agent places SCP-ZZZ on his head and vanishes from sight.Agent K█████: "Doctor, can you hear me?"
Dr. N███: "Yes, Agent. What do you see?"
Agent K█████: "I'm between two of the structures. They resemble spires. Seem to be made of some hard black rock. Ground's the same."
Dr. N███: "Have you made contact with any instances of SCP-ZZZ-1?"
Agent K█████: "Not yet. It's hard to tell. The lighting here is odd, I'm having trouble seeing much. I'll see what I can do."Sounds of the agent moving quietly for approximately five minutes.
Agent K█████: "God damn. There's a large group of them up ahead. They're all moving together into a huge building."
Dr. N███: "Can you describe the structure, Agent?"
Agent K█████: "Yeah, it's big. Very big. There aren't many structures around it. It is quite elaborate; I see a large amount of towers and spikes. There looks like there's blood on it."
Dr. N███: "Agent, can you get a closer look?"
Agent K█████: "There's some sort of bridge to it. I'm moving in."Sounds of the agent moving quietly for approximately three minutes and thirty seconds.
Agent K█████: "I'm at the side of the structure. There looks like there's some sort of door here. Smaller than the big one in the front. I'm going through it now."
Visceral sounds are heard for a few seconds.
Dr. N███: "What was that, Agent?"
Agent K█████: "Not sure. Coming from further inside. I'm taking a look."Sounds of grating and grinding heard coming from multiple sources.
Dr. N███: "Agent? Agent, what do you see?"
Agent K█████: "Jesus- there's a lot of them in there. They're all in a giant group. Their mouths are all open, even the ones on their bodies. I think that sound is coming from them. Can you hear that?"
Dr. N███: "The sound is coming through, Agent. Try to get a better look."
Agent K█████: "Okay. They're all facing one direction. Let me see if I can look."Sounds of grating continues for twenty seconds.
Agent K█████: "They're all facing one of them standing on a platform. There arelarge amounts of bodies around him. They've stopped vocalizing and are all just looking at the one up front."
Loud visceral sounds return, sounds of the agent gagging.
Agent K█████: "It appears the one in the front is- Hold on, I can't see. It's cutting open its own torso. There are some sort of worm-like creatures spilling out of it."
Dr. N███: "Agent, what is happening? I can't hear-"
Agent K█████: "Wait, above its head. I think I see- There's something in its torso that's creating some sort of light. There's a beam going up from it into the air over his head."
Dr. N███: "What's happening? Agent, keep talking."
Agent K█████: "I think it's opening some sort of portal. And I- It's summoning something. The entity is summoning something. I think I see something coming through the portal- It looks like a massive version of one of the worms that came out of the entity's chest. I think the glowing object in that entity's torso is holding the portal open. I'm going to go stop it."Sounds of the agent running and gunfire. The grating noise returns louder than before.
Sounds of stone objects and bodies falling down. Visceral sounds fill the air.Agent K█████: "I've almost got-"
More visceral sounds, closer to the agent now.
Agent K█████: "Got it now-"
The remainder of the agent's sentence is unheard as he removes SCP-ZZZ. Agent appears in test chamber covered in blood and holding a human heart.
Agent K█████: "It's alright, I got-"
Agent looks at the heart in his hand and yells, dropping it.
End of log.
Addendum ZZZ-E: On Sunday, June 3rd, a man dressed in a suit and wearing a gas mask attacked the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, Russia during morning services. The man reportedly shot ten people, including a chanter and a priest. Six church-goers were killed, and three others, including the chanter, are in critical condition. The suspect charged the front of the cathedral and allegedly produced a knife and removed the priest's heart. The suspect then appeared to vanish entirely before multiple witnesses. Moscow police have been unable to find any trace of the attacker.
Our operatives working undercover in Russian media and military are currently working to diffuse the situation. Officially, the attacker was a Nikolai Orlov, resident of Moscow, who was acting alone. Orlov went missing a few years ago, allowing our agents more time to keep the situation under control. Agent K█████ is currently being detained for questioning regarding the situation. He maintains his claim that everything occurred as he reported. Our recordings of Exploration ZZZ-D corroborate his story. We cannot risk another incident. All testing involving SCP-ZZZ is discontinued until further notice. All information regarding Exploration ZZZ-D is to be restricted to personnel with Level 5 clearance until the situation has been brought under control.
Detain Agents U█████ and C████████, as well as D-67393 for questioning. It is unknown at this time if the hallucinatory effects of SCP-ZZZ have any permanent effects. I don't want to run the risk of one of our own agents seeing all of our researchers as monstrosities and going on a shooting spree inside one of our facilities.
