SCP-4023-3 "Tree"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-3

オブジェクトクラス: Safe

特別収容プロトコル: SCP-4023-3 is to be watered twice per day via overhead mister. Should the mister break for any reason, attendants should water SCP-4023-3 by hand until it has been fixed. Attendants watering SCP-4023-3 by hand and maintenance personnel fixing mister must be blindfolded before and are to perform this action completely blind as to not risk exposure to the cognitohazardous effects of SCP-4023-3.

説明: SCP-4023-3 is for all uses and by all means an oak tree planted in an enclosed atrium at Foundation Site-11. Persons directly perceiving SCP-4023-3 are affected by a cognitohazard residing in the treetop. As of writing this document, 10 out of 23 branches of SCP-4023-3 are dead, with the remaining 13 alive and without any sign of damage.

補遺: Interview 4023-3

Interviewed: Class-D, exposed to SCP-4023-3 without a blindfold

Interviewer: Dr. Ike

Foreword: It was required during a routine maintenance that SCP-4023-3 be watered manually. Assigned Class-D individual took off his blindfold during this task and was exposed to the cognitohazardous effects of SCP-4023-3.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Ike: What did you see?

D-32123: [Visibly confused] I have seen the end days.

Dr. Ike: What exactly have you seen? Could you describe it?

D-32123: Righteous flames of the dead branches setting the rest ablaze.

Dr. Ike: What does that mean?

D-32123: It will begin to set things wrong by making the right decisions.

Dr. Ike: Could you describe what SCP-4023-3 looked like, when you saw it?

D-32123: The remaining branches are afraid.

Dr. Ike: Are you trying to say that SCP-4023-3 is in danger?

D-32123: Is it? [Long pause] Good.

Dr. Ike: Why is it good?

D-32123: They deserve it.

Dr. Ike: Who deserves it?

D-32123: [No response, staring in front of himself]

Dr. Ike: [EXPLETIVE REDACTED]

<End Log>

Closing Statement: D-32123 has been unresponsive for several more hours before being terminated, all on-site personnel have been reinformed about the cognitohazardous effects of SCP-4023-3.

It has been concluded that the remaining branches of SCP-4023-3 represent [データ削除済]

補遺: Further investigation into the nature of SCP-4023-3 has been discontinued by order of the O5 Council.

FROM: Dr. Ike

TO: Dr. Nakayama

So far the investigation is inconclusive. I have no idea what to think about this other than it being a bunch of anomalies referencing number 23 for no obvious reason could you maybe get here and help me? Look I really hate to beg but you are an expert numerologist and we have known each other for a while. Please?

What is it about?

None of it makes sense, why is it even classified as one anomaly?

Maybe because of the number?

Maybe they aren't important.

ACCESS DOCUMENT 4023-5

SCP-4023-5 "Steed"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-5

オブジェクトクラス: Safe

特別収容プロトコル: SCP-4023-5 currently resides in an enclosed pen near Site-0 and is to be provided with food, water, bedding, grooming, and veterinary care. Stables of SCP-4023-5 are to be cleaned daily.

説明: SCP-4023-5 is a herd of 13 anomalous Equus ferus caballus² of various breeds.

Anomalous properties of SCP-4023-5 manifest, when anyone attempts to ride one of the instances, upon which every individual in the herd turns to face the rider and starts running towards him and do not stop until they reach their destination. When all 12 horses reach the location of the rider alongside the instance that is saddled, they all merge with it into one. In this form, SCP-4023-5 is capable of reaching speeds up to 200 kilometers per hour, is more resilient and capable of being commanded telepatically by its rider. In addition, rider is also capable of ordering SCP-4023-5 to split back into individual horses with each instance removed weakening the powers of SCP-4023-5.

補遺1: On █/██/20██ an accidental exposure of multiple simultaneous riders has shown that when SCP-4023-5 merges into one while multiple individual instances are saddled, riders also merge into one being. This state has been described by all three persons involved as confusing. It would appear that SCP-4023-5 merges bodies of its riders into one but their minds remain separate and fighting for control. Exposure concluded after 9 minutes, when one of the riders managed to order SCP-4023-5 to split, which divided the riders back into their own bodies. Further study required.

補遺2: As of ██/██/20██ all testing regarding SCP-4023-5 has been discontinued by order of the O5 Council.

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-6

オブジェクトクラス: Euclid

特別収容プロトコル: Self contained within this file.

説明: SCP-4023-6 is a memetic hazard causing those who know about its effects symptoms to develop these symptoms in 23.3% of recorded cases.

Individuals affected by SCP-4023-6 become increasingly obsessed with number 23 and by extension SCP-4023. This obsession goes through multiple stages described below.

• Immediately after exposure - Subject finds number 23 interesting
• Few hours after exposure - Subject starts noticing number 23 more frequently in prices, numerical orders, telephone numbers etc.
• Few days after exposure - Subject starts noticing their obsession but dismisses it as number 23 being more frequent than other numbers
• Week after exposure - Subject starts searching information about number 23, in case of Foundation personnel, begins to obsess about SCP-4023 and other SCP objects involving number 23
• Two weeks after exposure - Subject starts forming possible explanations as to why they notice number 23 more often
• Three weeks after exposure - Subject starts noticing number 23 in places here no such number exists, start noticing numbers 32, 2, 3 and equations which equal 23, e.g. 13 + 10 = 23
• Month after exposure - Most subjects claim they are being followed by number 23 and claim to encounter it everywhere in their surroundings.
• From this point onward, obsessions become stronger but do not change symptoms.

What is so special about this one number?

Why don't you ask the O5s?

Oh, I am about to. This whole thing stinks, if I wasn't a part of it I would pass this job to someone else.

SCP-4023-7 "Keys"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-7

オブジェクトクラス: Euclid

特別収容プロトコル: All 9 parts of SCP-4023-7 are kept separately in secure lockers at Site-19, Site-91, Site-██ and Site-[REDACTED]

説明: SCP-4023-7 is a set of 9 rusted steel keys of unknown making, which have been in the possession of Site-62 for at least one week two months 5 years an unknown period of time. At first it has been theorised that SCP-4023-7 is connected to on-site SCP-004, however this idea was rejected after the initial experiment in which all of the 9 keys from SCP-4023-7 failed to open SCP-004-1.

No lock capable of being unlocked by any key from SCP-4023-7 has been discovered as of writing this document with the exception of [データ削除済].

FURTHER INFORMATION IS RESTRICTED TO PERSONNEL WITH SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL 6

How did it go?

I didn't get much, they had to comply with the investigation because the Skip is a mess and someone has to do something about it but they are just as secretive about it as always.

So what did they tell you?

I got some explanation on the keys but not much, one of them told me where to go looking next though. The rest didn't like it but I am heading to Site-[編集済] now.

Oh no, not Site-[編集済]

It's not funny, you know the computer redacts things, not me.

Fair. Write me when you're done there.

 

ACCESS DOCUMENT 4023-8

SCP-4023-8 "Serpent"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-8

オブジェクトクラス: Neutralized

特別収容プロトコル: Remains of SCP-4023-8 are to be stored in a low priority secure container at Site-[REDACTED] for further investigation into it's nature.

説明: SCP-4023-8 was at some point in the past a vaguely reptilian creature of unknown origin presumed to be the [編集済]. SCP-4023-8 resembled a long serpent with thick scales similar to those of modern day crocodiles. Full length of SCP-4023-8 is speculated to have been around 11 metres, however the remaining skeleton after its neutralization is only 2,5 metres long.

SCP-4023-8 was a Type Green reality bending anomaly, capable of small but hard to notice changes to surroundings of its prey. It would seemingly change its appearance, try to lure humans closer and devour them whole once they got close enough. However, this behaviour was observed only if the creature was hungry. SCP-4023-8 was a highly intelligent and manipulative creature capable of speech and would often interact in this way with personnel of Site-[編集済]. It was found that SCP-4023-8 found great pleasure in discussions with Foundation researchers and was very polite yet intrusive during interviews.

Age of SCP-4023-8 is currently unknown, however it claimed to be older than humanity. Even though SCP-4023-8 was cooperative during interviews, it always tried to negotiate its release from Foundation custody or special privileges in exchange for knowledge it possessed. These exchanges were strictly forbidden by order of the O5 Council.

補遺1: On ██/██/19██, SCP-4023-8 escaped from its cell at Site-[編集済] during a massive containment breach of multiple SCP objects. It was found later that this breach was caused by Agent █████ who claimed to have been persuaded to this action by SCP-4023-8.

補遺2: 3 months after the containment breach at Site-[REDACTED], Foundation agents found the dead body of SCP-4023-8 approximately 23 kilometers from Site-[編集済]. Cause of death was multiple gunshots into the head and body of subject as well as [データ削除済]. Intrusion by Global Occult Coalition confirmed.

補遺3: Interview conducted with Foundation Dr.Alto Clef, formerly known as GOC Agent Ukulele, responsible for death of SCP-4023-8.

Interviewed: Dr. Clef

Interviewer: Dr. Ike

Foreword: Interview conducted after it was found that Dr.Clef was responsible for death of SCP-4023-8 during his time as a Coalition Agent.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Ike: Could you please describe the events of the day when you killed SCP-4023-8?

Dr.Clef: Sure can, but I can't remember everything and some parts are just blurry. You know what amnestics do to you…

Dr. Ike: Yes, I understand. You may begin.

Dr.Clef: Well, it was a cold day. I remember that. Me and my partner were sent into the woods, because one of the Foundation's pets escaped and we, the Coalition, had a chance to take it down before you would catch it. We knew it was a bixby but no one at the command told me it was a snake, hell maybe they didn't even know… So, we went into the woods and found it, like we were trained to do. We got lucky this time, it didn't see us.

But than, something weird happened. I am used to reality bends just as I was back then and I am telling you, something else happened there. I don't remember the fight, next thing after we spot it… It was laying there, bleeding to death. And I don't blame amnestics for this one.

Dr. Ike: Are you saying that it wasn't you who killed 4023-8?

Dr.Clef: Look doctor, I know that I am not the most trustworthy person in this organisation but this story… That is the truth. We didn't fire a single bullet.

Dr. Ike: But what about the gunshots on its body?

Dr.Clef: Mine. My gun fired those bullets. But it wasn't me. From what I can tell, something else was there. Another reality bender and it made it look like we killed him. Why? I don't know, maybe because it didn't want the snake to speak.

Dr. Ike: What makes you think that SCP-4023-8 was going to tell you something?

Dr.Clef: Because it did.

Dr. Ike: I am sorry, didn't you say it was dead when you arrived?

Dr.Clef: No, I said it was bleeding to death. It was still alive.

Dr. Ike: I see. And what exactly did it tell you?

Dr.Clef: At first it wasn't moving. We thought it was dead so my partner went back to car, to report a mission success over the radio. I stood there, looking at the beast… It was then when it moved. It looked me straight in the eyes and started laughing. And than…

Dr. Ike: Doctor? What happened?

Dr.Clef: It told me everything. Every last secret it ever had… [Dr. Clef is quiet for a moment] I don't remember any of them anymore though, tough luck with this job.

Dr. Ike: Alright then…  One last question.

Dr.Clef: Get on with it.

Dr. Ike: Do you recall anything about number 23?

Dr.Clef: [Dr.Clef stops for a moment] No.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: "I don't know what to make of it." - Dr. Ike

So?

I sent you the data.

But I want your opinion.

It didn't help anything, just made it more complicated.

What now?

I'll check more related items and inform you later, I even found another anomaly referencing the number 23. I have yet to see if it is related.

Okay. Just make sure you keep me updated.

Hello?

Yes Mary, what is it?

You didn't respond to my last message.

Sorry, I guess I was lost on thoughts. The Cult I was talking about in the last message actually helped. Looks like there is something connecting all of these things, something almost lovecraftian. Only thing that I don't understand is why 23?

Hold on, do you actually think that the cultists worshipped some kind of eldritch monster with 23 eyes or something?

No. But there is definitely something behind all of this. Even behind me.

About that…

ACCESS DOCUMENT 4023-11

SCP-4023-11 "Remnant"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-11

オブジェクトクラス: Euclid

特別収容プロトコル: All 9 instances of SCP-4023-11 are to be housed separately and are not to come into contact with each other unless necessary. Instances that can be reintegrated into Foundation society can do so after extensive psychological evaluation and reintegration program, if they desire to. Hostile or questionable instances must stay in their cells and will be further questioned about their nature.

説明: SCP-4023-11 is a designation of 9 humans from alternative universes, which manifested in our universe through unknown means. These humans have nothing in common and appear to have been chosen randomly. Only thing that connects all of them is the fact that they have previous knowledge of the anomalous and died in their universe during an incident related to SCP-4023.

All instances of SCP-4023-11 appeared at once on 9/9/1999 in an empty cell at Site-23. Everyone materialised unconscious and naked. On site security managed to separate all instances and fully analyze the situation before instances woke up. This happened at once approximately 23 hours later.

補遺: Most notable instances

Name of Instance: Allied Occult Coalition Agent Charles Light

Died as a result of an attempt to destroy KTE-4023/3³.

Current status: Kept at Site-17 as a member of on-site Security Personnel.

Name of Instance: Leader of the Church of Gears Allison Chao

Died to SCP-4023-18. Before her death and reappearance in our universe her body apparently possessed mechanical enhancements.

Current status: Held in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-17 for questioning due to her possible hostile intentions towards the Foundation.

Name of Instance: Specialised Containment and Research Foundation researcher Dr. Tyler Ike

Current status: Assigned to SCP-4023 as Head Researcher.

Name of Instance: Special Containment Procedures Institute member O5-9

[データ削除済]

Current status: [データ削除済]

Yes, Mary?

You never really talk about your world. How was it?

I am still a Foundation researcher. Nothing is really that different.

Is it not? I read the report. You died.

All of us did. That was an integral part of the anomaly.

But why did you appear here?

Hey, I am the one supposed to be investigating this, remember?

Wasn't there another thing though?

Excuse me?

In the cell with you. You told me once, remember?

SCP-4023-12 "Minion"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-12

オブジェクトクラス: Keter

特別収容プロトコル: All personnel working with SCP-4023-12 is to be reminded that SCP-4023-12 are on the same intelligence level as a wild animal and will not hesitate to attack. All instances of SCP-4023-12 are to be housed separately in secure containment cells without windows.

説明: SCP-4023-12 is a human 1,5 metres tall with grey skin, no bodily hair, 23 blue human eyes and 23 fingers⁴. SCP-4023-12 does not possess any higher brain functions and attempts to attack any humans it sees. Every person who sees SCP-4023-12 is instantly affected by a cognitohazardous effect compelling them to get closer, however this effect can be overcomed if the subject is concentrating, and especially if the subject knows about this effect.

Upon contact with skin of SCP-4023-12 subject's body begins transforming into another instance of SCP-4023-12. As of writing this article, Foundation houses 9 instances of SCP-4023-12.

発見: Original instance of SCP-4023-12 was found in the same containment cell as instances of SCP-4023-11, however it manifested exactly 23 minutes later and fully conscious. 6 members of on site security were converted to SCP-4023-12 before the situation was handled. Testing soon showed cognitohazardous effects and containment procedures were developed. Origin of SCP-4023-12 is still unknown but it is suggested that ███████ may be the point of its origin.

I went to the O5s again. I was pointed to another anomaly but the Council seemed angry. They really don't like me digging into it. I even tried mentioning the painting. It cannot be a coincidence. They didn't like it.

So where are you going next? I can help in person if you want, I only have one assignment right now and it can wait.

SCP-4023-14 "Loop"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-14

オブジェクトクラス: Euclid

特別収容プロトコル: Temporal Area-[編集済] has been built around SCP-4023-14 to cover it from public view as well as to provide a location for study of this anomaly.

説明: SCP-4023-14 is an indefinitely repeating temporal anomaly contained on ground of Temporal Area-[編集済]. This anomaly consists of a 23 seconds long scene depicting a group of 9 figures entering a portal.

Further description follows:

00 seconds: A portal of some sort manifests in the middle of designated area.

05 seconds: A group of 9 blurry figures enters the designated area on similarly blurry horses

10 seconds: Group seems to be arguing about something

14 seconds: Group agrees and returns to their horses

18 seconds: All figures in the area suddenly merge into one, including the horses and proceed to ride through the portal

23 seconds: Portal closes and immediately opens again the next second as the loop continues

Hey, Ike! I was going through the files you sent me and suddenly someone knocked at the door and long story short, Dr. Mann is looking for you, said it's something about SCP-4023 and that he can tell only you. So yeah, I told him where to find you, hope you don't mind.

SCP-4023-15 "Tale"

SCP-4023-15はあるO5の物語だ

Good morning, Doctor.

Yes, me again. You would think that after all this time, we would both get used to this. I can see from your face that you are just as uncomfortable with this as I am. But chitchat is not why I am here. It has come to my attention and to the attention of the Council, that you have been dragged into the Investigation of 4023. Now, I know that you and I share a lot of secrets Everett, and we really should have expected you being dragged into it.

But I never told you about 4023, all these secrets and I omitted this one. So let me tell you about number 23 and about its significance to the O5 Council.

Yes we try to keep it a secret.

Yes it was our mistake.

As you already know from our previous conversations, we started this foundation slowly but surely, me and my men… My loyal 12. That wasn't always the case. We discovered that 13 didn't cut it for us. 13 was a bad number, unlucky, or at least some of us believed that. Plus our organisation grew bigger by the day and some of us thought that we might need a bigger council to control it. This was the first attempt at this. Before the Administrators, before Site Directors and even Alpha-1. Before all of that we had the O6 Council.

They were supposed to be there as a support to us, taking care of the things we couldn't when there was too much work to do. In retrospective it was a horrible idea but back then it worked. Selected from people we trusted, people that were with us almost from the beginning, capable men and women. And for a while they did exactly what we expected them to do. In a sense, they helped us more at the time than we are able to admit. Without their help at the early days when we were still learning, we could have been unprepared when it came to the Insurgency many years later.

Anyhow, it worked. Until the anomaly. Even back then there were many things we underestimated, you might remember some cases from my other stories. Well, we definitely underestimated number 23. It was a small anomaly, made you think the number was stalking you everywhere you go, nothing to stress about. You might get where this is going. It was passed to the O6s. I know I like to compare us today to us back then but we didn't know anything about memetic properties or cognitohazards. Turns out this was one.

The entire O6 Council got infected with a meme and started obsessing over the anomaly. Over all of them. Everything with number 23 in it. That's how we discovered many things that are still in our possession today including parts of 4023 but I'll get to that.

The poor people were relentless about it. Even tried to convince us about it. Mel kept telling me about this eldritch creature from another dimension that sends these anomalies here, that it is trying to get into our dimension using these numbers as anchors. It didn't exactly help that this was entirely possible in our lives. But we didn't see it that way. To us they all just started going crazy from overworking and coincidences.

So our relationships started to stagnate. We let them do their jobs that they still performed excellently and they stopped trying to get us on board with their theories. We should have seen it. Now I know it is our fault but I cannot help myself but blame that reptile. It was around that time when we captured something bigger. The O6 had their number but we… We obsessed over a snake. It claimed to have many secrets and was willing to give them to us. How could we not try to find out?

We tried but it never actually said anything worth noting. On the other hand, we told it everything.  For a lot of us in the Council, he became a friend. No one noticed how manipulative it was. We would talk a lot and sometimes, our conversations would shift their focus. We complained to him about the O6s and we would do it often. I am very glad that thing is dead actually. Knew me better than I did myself.
So for a long while we didn't have any problems with the O6 Council and we didn't care what they did as long as they did their job. Coincidentally they didn't do that anymore.

And then they showed up on our meeting one day. Said they need help. At this point we were all angry at them for abandoning their intended purpose and they were angry at us because… Well, we didn't believe them. That evening was very unprofessional for all of us. Word exchange was fine even if vulgar at parts but the reason for cutting the meeting short was a fist fight that broke out. That was the breaking point. They begged us for help with their crazy crusade but we kicked them out of the room and out of our organisation. All that was left was the paperwork. Everyone who remained in that room settled on waiting until the next meeting.

But as it turns out, they were right. Something about the number may have driven them crazy but it was also dangerous. That evening they took off from Site-Alpha on horsebacks and disappeared. This opened our eyes a little and we saw the snake for what it was. By the time of another meeting we already had our minds clear but it was too late. The O6 Council was gone. Disappeared from the surface of Earth.

We all agreed that we should investigate their disappearance. We owed them at least that. And would you know it, the more we dug into it, the more number 23 appeared. We found their research and we were terrified. I cannot discuss everything but there were many anomalies and events that were corrupted by this curse. And it all led to a date. 2nd of March, 2023. I am afraid that we are approaching this date at light speed my friend and if the rest of their research is something to go by… Well, let's not worry about that. We have enough end of the world predictions as it is.

Oh, the research? We hid it, destroyed it alongside all the evidence of the O6 ever existing, some of us feared that even the knowledge could be affected by the number. We still don't know what exactly it is. A curse? Bad luck? An alien being? Maybe all. I hope we don't have to find out.

What? No, we never had 23 members. The O5 Council has and always had 13 and the O6 had 9. That is 22 and I am glad it stayed that way.

Why am I telling you this? Everett, I told you many stories. Why this one? Well, the Council does not want anyone to know. Doctor Ike seems to be hitting a rock bottom with the investigation and you are the only person who can give him the information he needs. Don't worry about the Council. Yes? Let's just say that I am still regretting the decision we made all those years ago.

Thanks Mary. Sorry it took me so long to respond, the things Everett told me… Well, I think I am starting to understand the whole thing and I don't like it. I am afraid that our collaboration on this project must end. This is too big. I can still inform you about the progress if you want.

Crap. Well good luck with your lucky number, I guess I have the O5 council to thank for the gag order?

No actually, this is my decision…

SCP-4023-16 "Statue"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-16

オブジェクトクラス: 不必要

特別収容プロトコル: Currently stored in a secure container in Dr. Ike's office at Site-91.

説明: SCP-4023-16 is a 23 centimetres tall golden statue of a past Administrator █████ ████████. Statue was apparently created in 19██ when the last Foundation Administrator resigned on the position. On the front of the statue is a dent in the shape of number 23.

It was delivered to Dr. Ike by O5-█ after an unanimous decision by the O5 Council.

SCP-4023-17 "Portrait"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-17

オブジェクトクラス:不必要

特別収容プロトコル: Currently stored in a secure container in Dr. Ike's office at Site-91.

Description: SCP-4023-17 is a portrait of 22 members of the O5 Council and the O6 Council which was delivered to Dr. Ike by O5-█ after an unanimous decision by the O5 Council.

Mary here, just wanted to know how is it going? Good? Bad? You don't have to tell me any details.

You. I was just about to call you, the situation has changed. A lot. I'll be needing that help in person you promised. I think I figured out the situation but I can't explain anything until you get here.

Is this a joke?

No, the O5s are helping me with the thing now, they even sent me a bunch of related stuff. Please just come down to my office and we can talk.

ACCESS DOCUMENT 4023-18

SCP-4023-18 "Entity"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-18

オブジェクトクラス: Apollyon⁵

特別収容プロトコル: There is currently no method of containing SCP-4023-18. All information regarding the development of containment procedures is restricted to Security Clearance Level 6/4023.

説明: SCP-4023-18 is a presumed extradimensional entity seeking to enter our dimension on 2/3/2023. No information on appearance or motives of SCP-4023-18 exist and should some be found, they must be immediately passed to Dr. Ike.

First evidence of SCP-4023-18's existence were recorded by a Foundation internal organ known as the O6 Council. The Council has performed extensive research regarding SCP-4023 and managed to discover a malicious entity in its core. The O6 Council tried to reason with their superiors at the Overseer Council about an immediate action regarding SCP-4023-18 but were denied.

The O6 Council left Site-Alpha to investigate an anomaly which turned out to be a portal leading to another dimension. It is believed that SCP-4023-18 was creating anomalies related to number 23 in our world to gain strength and enter our dimension through this portal. The O6 Council made an unanimous decision to enter the portal and attempt to close it from the other side. Their attempt was succesful and caused a local temporal anomaly blocking the entry. This anomaly is currently contained as SCP-4023-14.

Fate of the members of the O6 Council is unknown but anomalies related to SCP-4023 found since this event are more personal in nature. Multiple related anomalies seem to reference the O5 Council, specifically blaming them for the fate of the O6. Due to this, it is believed that the O6 Council has joined with the entity.

Addendum: Status of Investigation, SCP-4023 by Dr. Ike

I have successfully managed to tie more than enough anomalies to our theories to confirm that SCP-4023-18 is indeed real.

SCP-4023-1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 22 all seem to be either products or anomalies related to SCP-4023-18.

SCP-4023-5, 8 and Document 4023-15 are related to SCP-4023's discovery.

However, I was unable to find any connection between SCP-4023-18, SCP-4023-7 and SCP-4023-11. Myself.

Dr. Nakayama, whose help I requested, was however able to notice another pattern of numbers in SCP-4023. Most dominant number in all parts of SCP-4023 is 23 but the second most dominant is 9. The O6 Council had 9 members, SCP-4023-11 has 9 instances, me included. SCP-4023-7 consists of 9 keys. The significance of this is as of yet unknown. Further information on devised containment procedures will be restricted to a higher level of clearance.

- Dr. Ike

I have to ask. What exactly do you think is going to happen? It says right there that we have no idea how to contain the thing.

I talked to my team and we compiled all of the data. It is obvious.

Are you going to tell me?

Yeah, you should be getting the data now. We talked it through with the O5s and we agreed on Plan A. They didn't like Plan B but we managed to convince the majority.

SCP-4023-23 "Machine"

アイテム番号: SCP-4023-23

オブジェクトクラス: Thaumiel

特別収容プロトコル: As of writing this document, Project Thaumiel-4023⁶ is not finished and is scheduled to be finished until 2/3/2023. Project command at Site-62 will be provided with all materials requested until the project is completed. All such requests have to be submitted to Dr. Ike or his team.

説明: SCP-4023-23 will be upon its completion a machine capable of transporting up to 9 persons from separate alternate universes into our own on 9/9/1999 to create a temporal bootstrap paradox.

SCP-4023-23 is designed to be operated using 9 steel keys inserted into the device at once by 9 individual operators designated O6-1 through 9.

Using SCP-4023-23 to bring 9 individuals from alternate universes involved in operating as well as construction of SCP-4023-23 should cause a local bootstrap paradox which should be able to negate any local entries from other dimensions into our own. Location for this Project was chosen based on the first appearance of the 9 members further proving the effectiveness of this paradox.

.
.

Is this it? Are you planning on creating a temporal paradox that will trap another portal once the thing arrives by bringing your past self into our universe???

It is a little more complicated than that but yes.

You must be completely crazy!

We have another plan…

Final version of Document SCP-4023

アイテム番号: SCP-4023

オブジェクトクラス: Euclid

特別収容プロトコル: Access of SCP-4023 into our dimension is to be stopped by any means necessary. Multiple plans have been devised for this intention including Project Thaumiel-4023 (detailed in Document-4023-23) and Project Command Overseer-4023 (detailed in Addendum 4023-1).

説明: SCP-4023 is a malicious entity trying to enter our dimension using anomalies and numerals. Intention of SCP-4023 after entering our dimension is to merge with the O5 Council and enter a state of completion in which the entity will consist of 23 connected parts. SCP-4023 currently consists of 10 components: itself and 9 members of the original O6 Council. Entity appears to be obsessed with numbers, specifically number 23.

Addendum 4023-1: Project Command Overseer-4023

Thanks to already existing containment procedures for related anomalies to SCP-4023, specifically SCP-4023-10, Project Command Overseer-4023 has been devised.

Hypothesis: If number 23 is the state of completion for SCP-4023, it will be unable to create further anomalies in our dimension after the number of existing anomalies reaches 23.

Based on this, several false documents were created in the original document for SCP-4023, either describing a non anomalous object or were simply expunged.

Hypothesis: If Foundation High Command consists of 23 members, it enters a state of completion and SCP-4023 will be unable to merge with the O5 Council.

Based on this, the position of Administrator as well as the O6 Council have been reinstated in the Foundation High Command.
