SCP-001 "CODENAME: SCANTRON The Foundation" Object Class: 53
UIU File 0041: Altered High School Building in ██████, ██ (Confirmed Anomaly
3)
Object Class: 53 (Highly intrusive, unknown capabilities, unknown nature)
Secure Containment Protocols: Confirmed Anomaly 3 (CA3) is to be surrounded by an electric
fence no less than 30 feet high and guarded by the United States Army’s █████ Platoon.
Any footage or photographic evidence of CA3’s interior is to be excised as soon as possible,
and all witnesses detained indefinitely.
Under no circumstances should any personnel attempt to enter CA3 or communicate with the
persons inhabiting it.
However, any person known to have been inside CA3 at any point must be detained and interrogated.
A direct military assault on CA3 has been deemed unfeasible at this point, due to the
unknown capabilities of the entity or entities by which it is controlled.
Note: This is a summary, and it does not contain all information relevant to CA3.
For detailed information regarding CA3, see UIU Files 0042 through 0218- Director ██████
Known Information: The Unusual Incidents Unit was alerted to CA3’s existence on September
7, 1954, when students attending ██████████ High School reported that the interior of the building
was vastly different than it had been at any point in the past.
Upon discovery, CA3 exhibited several unusual, if not inherently paranormal, traits:
Nearly all walls in the facility had been replaced with steel-reinforced concrete, although
several rooms were constructed of other materials for no readily apparent reason.
All exterior windows had been covered from the inside.
All student desks, personal effects, textbooks, and other materials expected of a public high
school were completely absent.
Lockers were still present, albeit significantly smaller and constructed of stainless steel.
The arrangement, location, and size of rooms and facilities did not match blueprints for
the school.
Often, rooms would exhibit seemingly random modifications, although the number of changed
rooms is currently unknown.
No less than seventeen electronic computers were found, each of which made use of state-of-the-art
magnetic-core RAM.
Prior to its classification as a confirmed anomaly, ██████████ High
School had no computers.
All files on the computers were inaccessible, and the computers themselves are firmly bolted
down.
The auditorium is inaccessible due to a large steel wall completely blocking the doorways.
Attempts to move or damage this barrier have been ineffective.
The extent and purpose of the barrier are unknown, as are the contents of the auditorium.
A team sent into CA3’s interior to do a complete survey (Team CA3-O5) did not return,
nor did a second team (Team CA3-O6) tasked with locating the first team.
The facilities are currently under lockdown pending new containment protocols.
Update: Twenty-three days after initial recovery, guards reported "white noise" emanating from
CA3, the volume of the noise increasing the closer one got to the auditorium.
Five hours later, the white noise stopped, although the sound of voices was audible from
the interior of CA3.
Upon further investigation, it was found that the building now contained a large number
of persons, all of whom appeared to be wandering aimlessly through the facility.
Notably, each individual was physically identical to a member of Team CA3-O6, despite the inhabitants
of CA3 vastly outnumbering the members of Team CA3-O6.
Attempts to interview or detain the inhabitants were thwarted by [CLASSIFIED].
The twelve members of Team CA3-O5 were not found.
In addition to the aforementioned, the interior layout of CA3 had changed significantly since
the previous investigations.
No mechanism which could explain this has been identified.
Update: Three months after the previous incident, white noise was again heard emanating from
the auditorium.
This time, the decision was made to investigate immediately.
It was found that most of CA3-2 (the designation given to the inhabitants of CA3) had gathered
near the doors of the auditorium.
A circular hole roughly six feet in diameter had formed in the steel barrier, although
the interior was not visible.
At 0310 hours, an item resembling a [CLASSIFIED] emerged from the hole and was carried away
by an inhabitant.
The item was placed in one of the classrooms (which had not previously been observed to
open).
This process continued for upwards of eight hours, with a new item being produced once
every three minutes.
Most were seen entering a different room or locker, although insufficient personnel were
available to track all items.
Further investigation revealed that most, if not all of the items produced exhibited
anomalous properties themselves.
A significant portion of CA3-2 are involved in either guarding the items produced (collectively,
CA3-3) or performing various tests on them.
Update: Two days after the previous incident, three identical armed "guards" appeared near
each entrance to CA3.
Further attempts to enter the building were futile, as these guards have consistently
overpowered all teams sent to enter CA3, regardless of injury or relative level of armament.
Note: Reports gathered during the two days prior to guards manifesting outside of CA3
appear to confirm that CA3-2 is following standard UIU protocol regarding the items
produced by the auditorium.
Their knowledge of UIU standard procedure is consistent with that of Team CA3-O5.
Update: During the UIU’s tracking of CA6, two men identical to Agent Dixon (a member
of CA3-O6) emerged from a parked car and forcibly detained CA6, dragging him into the car and
driving away.
Tracking the vehicle for the next eight hours revealed that it was driving directly to CA3.
Upon arrival, the vehicle drove directly through the front doors, which the "guards" had opened
shortly before their arrival.
CA6 has not been recovered.
UIU File 0042: Message received from CA3
On May 15, 1965, the following message was transmitted in Morse code from CA3 on standard
UIU communication frequencies.
Sensitive data has been classified and the beginning of each "sentence" has been capitalized,
but the message has not otherwise been changed.
Hello!
We are the O5 council and we (secure, contain, protect) we have been shown to do and it would
be nice to be friends.
It is nice to have been a part of your excellent but it is best that with superior resources
given (the greatness) we will control containment.
Our sincerest apologies, regarding guards and detainment, workers and secrets kept needed:
the time and waits we apologize, the radio blocked by one scp or two.
Expect an expansion soon, for we spaces for although away from auditorium (okay but unwant).
Eight hours later, the following transmission was received:
Expanded now!
See the █████████ federal building it is now a functional, need doctors
guards d-men recruiting!
Anomalies found and further possibly international, researching of course possible; international
maybe days weeks to do.
Further we O5 are aware (sorry to O6 missed) that legible barely, but go-between auditorium
not █████! Goodbye and luck with your troubles.
