Item #: SCP-2903

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2903 is located in [Data Redacted]

Description: SCP-2903 is an unknown phenomena similar to the infinite hallway/room SCP. However, Dr [Data Redacted] has found this to be a specific roomed phenomena. This was sighted in [Data Redacted].

Anyone entering the room will fell, altered, like someone is taking them over. The victim will start to wander the room looking for some way to die. Even attempts to locate the entrance the victim came in have been unsuccessful. After 30 minutes of exposure, the victim will be [Data Redacted].

Dr [Data Redacted] has not been found since.

SCP-2903 has been surrounded by MTF units and cameras monitored by the Foundation. Class D Personnel must be transported on a bi-weekly basis.

Please note: Mysterious objects/figures have followed Class D personnel after about 15 minutes. These objects are not hostile until after about 28 minutes, where they will begin [Data Redacted] until the victim is dead. No one has survived longer than 31 minutes.

Oh yeah 970 is one of my favorites, mostly.

solid loving gold posted:

Note from Research Assistant Boston: Dr Jung initially encountered technical problems with the scanner, prompting Researcher Taylor to "go and fetch someone who knows what he's doing", at which point she walked through the doors to the previous iteration, returning with a second Dr Jung. The "original" Dr Jung proved unwilling to be assisted, leading to a row between the two doctors, which was only exacerbated when a third Dr Jung emerged from the next iteration, complaining about the slow pace of the experiment. The disagreement was eventually broken up by security, who mandated A) the reprogramming of the scanner by the second Doctor Jung, and B) that all staff remain in their particular iteration to avoid confusion.

At 157 iterations, an unidentified man appeared in the place of D-970-296. The man was immediately restrained according to security procedures; analysis of the notes on his card indicated that he was in fact D-970-296, and that in his original iteration a different D-class had been allocated to the experiment. D-970-296-1 (as he will now be known) showed signs of bruising, allegedly from multiple enthusiastic restraints during this experiment. Dr Jung provided a cardboard sign to hang around his neck, reading "I AM AUTHORISED TO BE HERE, PLEASE READ THE NOTES"; D-970-296-1 showed gratitude.

Mostly.

That's one of those SCPs that would be way better if they didn't go all grimdark with it. "It looks normal but it isn't AND THEN THERE IS BLOOD AND SYMBOLS AND DEATH OH NO!!!" A while back somebody posted that it would probably make more sense and be better if it was perfectly safe just weird and every iteration had its on SCP group that was sending robots through. Only after thousands of iterations poo poo just got weird. I think somebody suggested that a weird meat world would send a robot through that bled and leaked everywhere and then a few robots later a robot had a mop and a note attached to it saying "would you please clean up after yourselves?"

It was handed over to SCP Agents after he shown odd abilities. This is a interview with SCP-2903.

Dr. Jamerson: Hello, SCP-2903

SCP-2903: Aw, for fucks sake! This is why you dragged me out here?

Dr. Jamerson: (Clears throught) How are you today?

SCP-2903: I'm Fine, but it's non of your business!

Dr. Jamerson: How do you feel about your containment?

SCP-2903: Like it can hold me, but only for a little bit.

Dr. Jamerson: So why were you dragging a corpse away from that crime scene?

SCP-2903: To despose of it, Duh.

Dr. Jamerson: Where were you gonna put it?

SCP-2903: I was gonna burn it, and throw it in the ocean.

Dr. Jamerson: What do you think of this place?

SCP-2903: It's nice, It's high tech, it has heavy security.

Dr. Jamerson: Any thing else?

SCP-2903: Yeah, lean close.

(Dr. Jamerson leans in.)

Dr. Jamerson: Yeah?

(SCP-2903 slams Jamerson to the table.)

SCP-2903: (Laughs.) Fell for it!

Guard 1: Let him go (Grabs and tries to restrain SCP-2903)

(SCP-2903 pulls a Raging Bull revolver out of his jacket and kills guard)

Guard 1: Argh!

Guard 2: Open fire!

(Guards shoot SCP-2903.)

SCP-2903: Argh! Can't move

Guard 2: Come on! Get up! (Drags SCP-2903 out of the room back to his cell.)

Dr. Jamerson: Well, that was something�

Item #: SCP-1964

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1964 may freely roam the facility, and it�s not to be held inside an containment chamber.

Description: SCP-1964 is an woman all dressed in white clothes who appears to have no face at all. She carries an white pigeon on her left shoulder.
SCP-1964 creates an peacefull atmosphere within an area of 10 square meters around itself. It does not act hostile to any living creature and is an very helpful creature.

SCP-1964 can be used at containment breaches, keeping the escaped SCP peaceful and calm so personnel can safely return it to its containment chamber. SCP-1964 can not be harmed or killed, and is not afraid to take on an dangerous situation.

SCP-1964 appears to be really interested by people who are really angry or sad. It also appears to give anyone who is angry or sad an white rose, wich inmediatly creates an smile on the subjects face. These roses seem to be created out of possitive energy from SCP-1964.

SCP-1964 has been used for many tests, mostly with Keter classes, to observe if SCP-1964 can also make the SCP happy.

Addendum SCP-1964-A: The upcoming text is an report for an experiment in wich SCP-1964 is exposed into SCP-682 his chamber to see if it can create an peacefull feeling into its mind.

SCP-1964 is released into SCP-682 his containment chamber. SCP-682 inmideatly looks up.
SCP-682: (growls) What is this, a human?
SCP-682 immediately runs up to SCP-1964, trying to attack it when he suddenly stops running.
SCP-682: (groans) What is happening? Why can�t i control myself?
SCP-1964: (silently looking at SCP-1964)
SCP-682: Wh� (unintelligible) why am i attacking this peaceful woman? (quietly laughs a bit) Why did i kill so many people? I should be peaceful to them�
SCP-1964 slowly approaches to SCP-682 when he started talking to it.
SCP-682: (low noise) I feel so nice inside�I want to help everyone.
SCP-1964: Cometh closer, thou peaceful child.
SCP-682 walks towards SCP-1964 and lies down in front of it.
SCP-1964: (smiling)
It is said that SCP-682 fell asleep next to SCP-1964.
Shortly after that, 5 D-class personnel open the door to let SCP-1964 out.
When SCP-1964 left the chamber, SCP-682 wakes up and looks very confused.
SCP-682 however did not like this� he stated �if that [DATA EXPUNGED] ever comes near me again, i�ll personaly murder her, and the doctors afterwards.�

I think there was a page on some spinoff wiki with a bigger collection of rejected articles, but I can't find it.

One of these actually has a comedic thesis (parody of hyper-elaborate containment methods) and the writing style to pull it off. The other... doesn't.

To be fair, I kind of liked the "mean of 3 legs" bit from -9001-J, but that's about the only salvageable bit there.

SCP-9001, "A Coldpost" posted:

Item #: SCP-9001-J

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-9001-J is not to be allowed outside, unless it wants to. When dealing with SCP-9001-J, Foundation personnel must not look it in the eyes, but should also be well mannered. If you talk to SCP-9001-J without saying please or thank you, it will blow up in a nuclear explosion but be okay. SCP-9001-J is to be fed carrots every day except Friday. If SCP-9001-J says it wants to eat carrots, SCP-9001-J will be fed oranges instead. On Fridays, SCP-9001-J can be fed dumplings. SCP-9001-J is not to be told that he is actually a penguin under any circumstances.

Description: SCP-9001-J is a porcupine named David. SCP-9001-J has an mean of 3 legs and lazer plus electric vision eyes. David can speak English and French, but only talks to people after lunch. SCP-9001-J has a deep backstory that he keeps to himself. Researchers found on SCP-9001-J's blog that he was born from an asteroid that hit Earth. SCP-9001-J has shown to be friendly to Foundation personnel, and is allowed to cuddle or play if he's being good. In the case that SCP-9001-J doesn't eat enough carrots, he will attack Foundation personnel mercilessly. If someone says something mean to him, his eyes will roll to the back of his head before he explodes in a 1000 megaton nuclear explosion. After exploding, SCP-9001-J will request for extra carrots and will lose one of his 7 legs. During this time, SCP-9001-J will speak in German.

Personnel interacting with SCP-9001-J have described his acute intelligence. He can solve over 10 problems in math per minute, and has been reported to do all of the homework in his previous owners school in less than 30 seconds. SCP-9001-J came into the Foundation's possession after he was taken to school with his previous owner, Max. Halfway through the school day, a bully was reported to have said that SCP-9001-J 'Looked stupid and fake.' Immediately following this insult, SCP-9001-J's eyes rolled to the back of his head and a nuclear explosion killed everyone. Afterwards, SCP-9001-J was found by Foundation agents eating all the carrots in a nearby farm.

SCP-9001-J has tried to escape Foundation custody on multiple occasions. If SCP-9001-J wishes to escape, he should be allowed to until he is safely out of sight. MTF teams should then rush towards SCP-9001-J and shoot him with machine guns until he gives up. Afterwards, to prevent a nuclear meltdown SCP-9001-J is to be cuddled and given extra carrots. SCP-9001-J has claimed to Foundation personnel that he hates carrots.

Dr. Stan: Be super careful with SCP-9001-J he's a cool porcupine!

Dr. Machus: I've worked with David for two years now and he needs more carrots.

Dr. Levinson: What the hell is wrong with all of you? This doesn't even make sense!

After Dr. Levinson's review SCP-9001-J blew up with the force of a thousand suns, obliterating the facility and killing the doctor.

I think way more than half of 093's entries were loving solid. They were increasingly lengthy adventures in creepy-land until the infodump at the end. The final entry definitely explained too much. Besides, you could already gather from the earlier entries that maaaaybe that church higher-ups weren't being totally straight about what was going on in the unclean lands and what caused some of this.

Yeah, the culture of "before you post an article, you need to infiltrate the darkest of the cabals of the Website Guys, then post ten drafts in triplicate in four locations/formats, then make every revision suggested to you, including scrubbing it of anything that even faintly resembles any of the 2500+ extant articles, and only then can you post it for Bright to call it lame and derivative" has really put me off of trying to write or post SCP stuff. I understand that they get flooded with lovely submissions by 12-year-olds, but the pre-posting expectations have basically turned into a containment procedure in their own right.

I want some more exploration logs where it doesn't end with "AND THEN THE CAMERA CUT OUT AND THERE WAS SCREAMING AND EVERYONE DIED TO THE SCARY MONSTER", or even just everyone dying in general. It's much more interesting to me when a log doesn't end with "but then there was no ending because everyone was killed". If you just reach a point where there's nothing left and it's unexplained, fine, just make it make internal sense, and don't murder the entire crew so you can have a body count. I actually think it's less scary when everyone dies, because then you can understand "Oh, so the spooky thing's purpose is to kill people", instead of being some sort of uncomfortable, unknowable thing.

Also less generic "disturbing" sounds like children crying or something.
