SCP 0 0 1
the SCP foundation contains thousands of anomalous creatures,
objects and phenomena and this list of SCPs, of course, starts with number 1
newcomers to the site will be perhaps surprised to find that there is no single SCP 0 0 1
But instead there are currently over two dozen proposals outlined for the slot
The reason for this structure within the universe is so that no one outside of the o-5 council know which of the proposals is
the true SCP 0 0 1 for the sake of security
the reason for this out of the universe is because having the 0 0 1 slot was considered special and
It was reserved for something worthy of the slot
The proposals were then first submitted hoping to earn the spot
But at this point it's likely that no single proposal will ever be chosen
While a number of the 001 proposals are related to the concept of the fictional starting of the foundation
Just as many of them have nothing to do with the early foundation
There are far more proposals than I'd like to fit in one video and likely many more to come
So this video will go over a number of the most popular proposals
The highest-rated proposal was submitted by dr. Clef titled the gate guardian
this proposal describes a massive humanoid entity over a thousand feet in height that
Stands motionless at a location near the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers
This entity is standing in front of a tremendous gate
Through which a pastoral Grove can be seen which include two immense fruit trees
The entity is seen with its head bowed holding a large sword or knife and with a number of bright wings emerging from its back
Any entity living or otherwise that comes within one kilometer of SCP 0 0 1 is
attacked and obliterated instantly
Additionally any hostile action taken against SCP zero zero one from any distance results in the destruction of the attacker
However, those that directly observe the entity from a safe distance are given a telepathic order that they are compelled to obey
The most common of these is forget causing the observer to walk away and forget their experience
Notably the founder of the foundation was given the directive prepare leading him to start the SCP foundation
The foundation has done some minor testing with the entity but nothing so far has passed the 1 kilometer barrier
Scp-073 and zero 7 6 known as Cain and Abel
Both refused to go near the entity although Cain was ordered to approach
Causing some expunged effect and the termination of any further experimentation
Finally the proposal ends with the transmission that the foundation received
time-stamped a number of years in the future
Discussing SCP 0 0 1 leaving its location and an imminent apocalyptic scenario
The entity currently has no containment procedures, although it is constantly monitored
s Andrew swans proposal titled the database
Showcases a simple and yet meta answer for the existence of the foundation and all of the SCP s in
a nutshell this proposal outlines the concept that the SCP foundation
Attempted to look into a grand unifying theory that connects all of the SCP s in their universe
to a single origin in
The process they discovered that their records would often change on a whim but also that their reality was changing along with it
the reason for this and the reason why they halted all investigation into the origin theory and
expunged practically all of the data is
That they discovered their universe is subject to the omnipotent wills of a group of horror writers
to put it plainly this proposal says the foundation discovered that their reality is
Constantly subject to change based on what the authors of the SCP website decide to write
To combat this the o-5 council have prepared a series of memetic agents that would affect viewers of the SCP database
leading to unconsciousness or death
This proposal is one of the more controversial ones due to the extreme meta nature
But it does neatly answer the question of where all the anomalous objects come from
SD Locke's proposal takes on a unique format titled when day breaks
Alternating between the standard technical writing typical of an SCP entry and a somewhat more traditional storytelling format
The writing is in the second person starting with detailing how you followed a distress signal into an abandoned foundation facility
while being hunted by some sort of monster you
Barricade yourself in a room with a computer terminal and turn it on
Here we are presented with a proper description of SCP 0 0 1
Which is now the designation that the foundation assigned to the Sun after an inexplicable event
This event caused light rays from the Sun to melt any living organism including plants
animals and humans into a still living congealed mass of flesh
Plants can still photosynthesize
animals remain sentient and
humans, retain some sapience and memory
But when touching these masses can combine and blend together into large bulk organisms that drag themselves around
Additionally any anomalous organism loses their anomalous properties when affected by the Sun an
Estimated 6.8 billion casualties occurred within 24 hours of this event leaving the earth an apocalyptic wasteland
It's implied that eventually all life on Earth will be a part of a single mass of gelatinous flesh as
Those affected seemed to desire to bring everything else into the sun's light
the rest of the proposal goes over some earlier logs of some foundation personnel attempting to survive the apocalypse and
Eventually, the reader you are dragged out of the facility by the mass and taken into the light
Dr. Mann's proposal the spiral path is incredibly simple on the surface
merely a circular path in a forest that seems to be continuously uphill when walked in a counterclockwise direction a
Fence some armed guards and a nearby laboratory make up the basic containment procedures
But an attached document available to new members of the secretive o-5 Council provides the full story
The document tells the tale of a physicist named Aaron Siegel who discovered the anomalous gravel path in 1891
Rather than ignoring it and moving on Aaron decided to study it finding it to be basically a glitch in our world
From his experiments he was able to derive new equations and he began to create inventions based on these new principles
The first of which was a key that could open any lock
SCP 0 0 5
He brought in other bright minds to study the path with him creating the basis for the foundation
But rather than containing the anomalies they hope to use them to better the world
One discovery flowed into the next and although they started small
They began experimenting with humans and creating more elaborate anomalies
mistakes were also made with inadvertent creations also coming out of this period
but they kept moving forward gaining funding from governments and militaries around the world as
The foundation grew the original group of researchers continue to create new anomalies
But created The Masquerade of having other people find their creations
Certain individuals from the group split off forming groups such as the Church of the broken God
But the o5s continue to create new anomalies to better understand what they've done
The document leaves off by stating that they didn't create every SCP held by the foundation
Some just appeared in containment and were always in containment
Like many 0:01 proposals this one either fits with your head Canon of the foundation or a dozen
Jonathan balls proposal sheaf of papers is another simple one that attempts to explain where all the SUVs come from
the sheaf of papers is literally that a small stack of papers with
confidential report on special items classified written on the cover page
when the cover page is turned over a new
SCP is described and
Sometime after reading the report the SCP described will be discovered somewhere
The first SCP described was SCP 0 0 -
Followed by 0 0 3 and so on
it's unclear whether or not the sheaf of papers is responsible for creating the SCP s in question or merely notifying the reader and the
discoverer of their existence
Rather than concerning itself at the start of the foundation
Jorik and domotics proposal 36 more relates to the end of the foundation
36 describes 36 individuals of varying ages genders and ethnicities
When any anomalous item or phenomena is brought within close proximity of one of these individuals
The anomalous quality is nullified
When multiple members of the 36 are brought together the range and intensity of this nullifying field is increased
Additionally when any of the 36 died
multiple anomalous events will occur
Along with the sudden appearance of varying dangerous entities
examples include sudden rainfall containing numerous fatal pathogens
massive walking creatures and
spontaneous
ritualistic cannibalism in a widespread area
Civilian casualty after each of these events are generally tremendous reaching into the tens or hundreds of thousands
After the death of one of the 36 they are supposedly
Reincarnated as newborn babies, although the foundation has yet to prove this
It's believed that once all 36 individuals are brought together. Their nullifying field will reach across the cosmos
Removing all anomalous properties from existence and making the world young again
There are of course many other proposals for the SCP 0 0 1 slot
Dr. Gears prototype proposal is simply a dangerous son. Ominous humanoid and is presented as the very first
SCP that the foundation decided to report on
Kate McTiernan
In the SCP 0 0 1 slot becomes true and she apparently uses this ability to become God
The broken god proposal from twisted gears and cactus goes over an incident in Mexico in
1942 when members of the Church of the broken God attempted to rebuild their God with a false heart
leading to disastrous results
brights factory proposals a story of a grim and deeply mysterious
factory that continually creates new scps for unknown reasons as
Mentioned some of these certainly deal with explaining the origins of the foundation or of SCPs in general and
Many others are just immensely powerful or notable scps
there's no real guidelines for what constitutes an 0:01 proposal and
Sometimes certain scps end up as 0:01 proposals, even though the author originally wrote it for some other purpose
The actual first SCP written was 1 7 3
posted on the paranormal board of 4chan and is currently the highest rated article on the SCP wiki
The SCP zero zero one slot is indicative of the SCP universe as a whole as so many of them contradict with one another
forcing readers to pick and choose what fits their personal headcanon
I'd encourage you to read a number of them yourself to decide which one suits you
But only the o-5 council know which of them is the truth
