scp-055
Item No: SCP-053
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-053 must be isolated in an area no smaller than 5 m x 5 m (16 ft x 16 ft) with sufficient space for movement. Toys, books, games, and other recreational amenities will be adequately provided and replaced every three months. Proper bedding, bedding, and medical facilities must be available at all times. Food is provided three times a day, and snacks can be provided twice if requested by (SCP-053).
Any contact with SCP-053 is to be equipped with an atmospheric containment suit and blindfold. No visual contact with SCP-053 is to be made for any reason. Any items given to personnel by SCP-053 may be removed, but must be quarantined and examined before doing so. Only one person may remain in the room, and must remain in a chained seat belt. All personnel must leave SCP-053's containment container 10 minutes after entering it.
Any personnel who begin to behave abnormally, yell, or attempt to grab SCP-053 are to be taken away and quarantined. Any personnel attempting to remove their quarantine suits are likewise to be removed and quarantined. SCP-053's containment chamber is not to contain any sharp weapons or firearms.
Description: SCP-053 is a three-year-old girl. She has basic conversational skills and is a little more mentally mature than the average child. Her personality is usually optimistic and rarely angry, only becoming restless when surrounded by a lot of people.
Anyone over the age of three who makes visual or physical contact with SCP-053, or who remains in the vicinity of SCP-053 for more than 10 minutes, will quickly become irrational, paranoid, and murderous. Most, but not all, of these sensations will point to SCP-053, and affected subjects will begin attempting to kill SCP-053 after killing or knocking out all personnel in sight. Those who attempt to kill SCP-053 will suffer a severe heart attack or seizure immediately after inflicting any physical damage on it. SCP-053 will be able to heal from various wounds, no matter how severe, in a matter of moments.
SCP-053 appears to be completely oblivious to these effects, and to all effects caused by the subject. When asked about the effect, SCP-053 did not answer.
Item No: SCP-054
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: Subject is to be kept in a watertight room with an external special climate control device. A carved fountain filled with water is placed in the center of the room. Maintenance personnel are required to wear non-absorbent NBC suits in the containment area, and are required to remain in a dedicated drying room for ten minutes after exiting. In the event of a containment breach, the surrounding area is to be evacuated immediately and the room is to be flushed with liquid nitrogen.
The chemical condition and capacity of the fountain should be monitored and maintained at all times. Due to SCP-054's high sensitivity to hydrological conditions, water from ββββββββ springs is to be used. During its incarceration, SCP-054 developed a distrust of males; Therefore, it is recommended to use female personnel for work.
Description: Upon exiting water, the subject typically appears to be a female humanoid with an average capacity of 90 liters composed entirely of water. (Other forms, usually geometry, are also present). Once you enter a body of water, you will not be able to distinguish it from your surroundings. Subject must periodically return to the body of water to maintain its volume due to evaporation. After ββββββββ discovery, it was transferred to Site-08 for further study. Subject is initially curious about Foundation personnel, and seems to enjoy interacting with maintenance personnel and researchers, and mimicking their forms. After several weeks, the creature apparently has grown accustomed enough to remain outside of the water body during daily surveillance, but will still retreat into the water body when attempting to study its components.
SCP-054 is ostensibly composed of ordinary water, with no measurable difference from ordinary spring water obtained from the same water source. No thermodynamic, electromagnetic, biological, or other phenomena have been detected in its "body" to reveal the reasons for its life. The water evaporated from SCP-054 does not exhibit any special properties when concentrated.
Experimentation with SCP-054 was postponed following the injury of two researchers as a result of [DATA EXPUNGED]. Containment protocols were upgraded following this incident. Subject subsequently expressed distrust and hostility towards male subjects (including most of the original researchers). Subject reclassified as Euclid.
Partial Transmission, Audio Log 054-A:
Dehydration experiment
"When severed from water, the subject becomes inert and shrinks in size. It is speculated that its compact shape is intended to reduce the body surface area affected by evaporation. For the first few days, it eagerly welcomed anyone who entered the room, and was excited. This suggests that the subject may understand that we are in control of the water supply to it. Subject ceased this behavior yesterday, presumably recognizing that it would be useless. β
Extreme temperature experiments
"We got permission this morning to try sub-zero temperatures. As the temperature drops, the subject becomes more and more lifeless, and freezes completely after ββββββ. Spectroscopic observations of ice crystals have not revealed any anomalies. Ice chips were collected for study. In the 95-degree test, the exact opposite happened, as it became very aggressive and tried to escape the room. We submitted a job request to assemble a climate control device in the subject's usual room, as it began to rebel more and more desperately against attempts to move it to the lab. β
Memory and reflex assessments
"Subject has shown an unexpected knack for navigating complex mazes and solving puzzles. Dr. Seskel was eventually able to overcome the problem of driving the subject by using electric shock and/or silica desiccant. He joked that we would soon be able to tame it, and after watching his methods I thought he might be right. Note: Subjects are allowed to have a 48-hour recovery period; At the end of the weekly experiment, it appears to be sluggish. β
Acid/Base Mixing Experiment [Last Experiment Log]
"I started with 0.5 moles of hydrochloric acid solution. I don't know what to expect, but if this thing has a self-balancing mechanism as I thought, then we can observe how it maintains its form. The room temperature was lowered to 278 C, in order to control the growing erratic behavior for fifty hours. β
Addendum 054-B: After five years without incident, the subject's class was downgraded to "Safe" at the suggestion of Dr. ββββββββ. Experiments are to be restarted with the support of Biology Unit E7. Remain vigilant when approaching objects.
Item No: SCP-055
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Subject is to be kept in a square room constructed of 5 x 5 x 2.5 m concrete walls (approximately 50 cm thick), with an electrostatic barrier outside the concrete wall, and the entrance is blocked by a 2 m x 2.5 m heavy door, which will automatically close and lock when not kept open, security guards are to be placed in SCP-055's room, and it is highly recommended that all personnel working with other SCP objects be at least 50 meters away from this room, and this is reasonable.
Description: SCP-055 is a "self-enclosed secret" or "antimemetic", information about the physical properties of SCP-055, such as its nature, behavior, and origin, are classified separately, in order to elucidate:
β’How Site 19 captured SCP-055 is unknown
β’ When it was captured and by whom it is unknown.
β’SCP-055's physical properties are unknown, but it is not indescribable or invisible: it is normal for one to walk into SCP-055's room and observe it, think or write notes, sketches, photographs, or even videos. There are a lot of such records in the documentation. However, surveillance personnel have stated that after such observations, information quickly slips out of people's heads, and personnel dispatched to describe SCP-055 will feel unconscious and quickly lose interest in the task; Personnel dispatched to sketch a photograph of SCP-055 will not be able to remember what the photograph looks like, and those viewing the CCTV footage will become exhausted and lose memories of the previous hours.
β’ It is unknown who authorized SCP-055 to be locked in such a room, why it was constructed in this way, or the purpose for which it was constructed.
β’Despite the ease of access to SCP-055's room, there is no mention of any knowledge of SCP-055.
All of these things are periodically discovered by random archivists, alerted by many people, and then only for a few minutes, and people quickly forget about them.
There are numerous scientific records and archives regarding SCP-055, but there is no way to study them. There have been more than one attempt to destroy SCP-055, or to move it to another location, but for some unknown reason they have failed.
SCP-055 may be seriously harmful, and may have killed thousands of people, but we don't know that, obviously, it can cause horrific memetic/psychic effects, hence the Keter rating.
Document #055-1: Analysis of SCP-055
The author of the document believes that SCP-055 was never actually captured by ββββββββββββ ββββββββ, but was operated autonomously or remotely operated by agents placed at Site 19 by an unknown third party for the following purposes:
β’ Silently observe and interfere with the activities of Area 19
β’Silently observe or interfere with other SCP areas
β’ Silently observing or interfering with the human world.
β’ Silently observe or interfere with other SCP objects
β’ Silently observe, or interfere ββββββββββββ
Any action resulting from this potential threat seems pointless, at least theoretically infeasible
Appendix A
Hey, if this thing is really "antimemetic", then why can't it be that the "antimeme" has actually been eliminated? There's definitely something wrong with that. Wait, what if we keep thinking it's not something? Will we remember these things?
Bartholomew Hughes, NSA
Document #055-2: Report by Dr. John Marachek.
Investigation team #19-055-127BXE has successfully entered SCP-055's chamber to ascertain SCP-055's physical appearance and, to some extent, its properties. Documentation was made in accordance with the project methodology (see ββββββββββββ), and the room was closed again.
Excerpt from the report of the person involved:
Dr. Hughes: Okay, now I'm going to ask you a few questions about 55.
βββββββ: How many numbers?
Dr. Hughes: SCP-055, the object you just investigated.
βββββββ: Well, I don't know what you're talking about, I don't think we have object 55.
Dr. Hughes: Well, I'd like to ask you what you've been doing for the last 2 hours.
βββββββ: Huh? I...... [Subject begins to feel uncomfortable] .....I don't know.
Dr. Hughes: Okay, so, do you remember that we all agreed that it wasn't spherical?
βββββββ: The ...... Oh! Right! It's not round! SCP-055 is not round at all!
Dr. Hughes: Do you remember now?
βββββββ: Oh, I mean, I don't know what it is, but I know there's one here, something that people can't remember, and it's not a sphere.
Dr. Hughes: Wait, what's not spherical?
βββββββ: Object No. 55.
Dr. Hughes: What object?
βββββββ: Doctor, can you remember agreeing that something isn't round?
Dr. Hughes: Ah, yes!
This appears to be a reminder of what SCP-055 is not (a negative fact), and its existence can be inferred from these memories repeatedly.
Personnel involved in the #19-055-127BXE investigation have suffered a moderate amount of psychological disorientation and trauma as a result of periodically remembering and forgetting SCP-055. However, there were no long-term symptoms or health problems, and psychiatric examination of the investigators indicated that the mental distress would slowly subside.
Recommendation: At least one personnel capable of recalling SCP-055's presence is to be assigned to each significant site.
