SCP-4885 Find Him - object class keter

No information regarding any specific location on Earth is to exist on SCP-4885's file unless

given direct permission by the O5 Council.

Item #: SCP-4885

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Currently, it is only theorized that SCP-4885 is contained.

To further elaborate, SCP-4885 is contained within an unknown Class-17 Containment Chamber

in an unknown site.

In the event that SCP-4885 breaches containment, Procedure Invenient Eum is to be enacted,

which consists of the following procedures:

Thirty six Class-17 Containment Chambers are to be connected to an independent self-driving

vehicle.

At all times, 216 inactive Containment Chambers are to be readily available in case of sudden

and unforeseen breach of SCP-4885's containment.

One D-Class subject of stable mental health is to be submitted into the vehicle, and driven

into the system.

A cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator is to choose a random number between

one and thirty-six, and the vehicle is to be transported to a Containment Chamber based

on the number chosen.

Each Containment Chamber has a single digital monitor that is capable of outputting video

at 720p resolution.

Once a D-Class subject is transported to a random chamber, a message is to be sent to

every monitor simultaneously.

This message consists of the current location of SCP-4885, delivered via an implanted tracking

device.

The GPS is only accessible by Level 5 Personnel or SCP-4885 containment staff on a need to

know basis.

After approximately two hours, each containment chamber is to be transported to a randomly

designated Foundation site via self-driving trucks.

The trucks are to be disguised as a packaging service in order to prevent suspicion.

In the event an accident occurs during this stage, Procedure Invenient Eum is to be enacted

again.

No personnel who are aware of SCP-4885's existence are to go within 100 meters of any Class-17

Containment Chamber.

Several signs and warnings have been placed around each chamber, labeling it as a water

treatment room, and that attempted access is punishable by immediate amnestication and

loss of employment as decided by the Ethics Committee.

These warnings tell personnel to report to a nearby Automated Site Overseer of any leaks

from the chamber, in which the person will be visually amnesticized by the Overseer,

and Procedure Invenient Eum will be reenacted.

For more information regarding the composition of Class-17 Containment Chambers, please consult

Document 7631.00.

Currently, SCP-4885-1 instances that are located via far2.AIC are contained within Location

i.

The whereabouts of Location i is only known to far2.AIC.

Currently, far2.AIC. is connected to 80% of CCTV security cameras within the United States,

and 40% of total CCTV security cameras on Earth.

SCP-4885-1 instances discovered by far2.AIC will have specialized Foundation carrier drones

to be dispatched and attempt to grab the body, and carry it to Location i, using routes that

minimize the chance of unwanted civilian interference.

In the event that a civilian notices a drone and SCP-4885 breaches containment, the drone

will send an "All Alert" message to SCP-4885's containment team, and Procedure Invenient

Eum will be enacted.

In the event that Location i's whereabouts are discovered at large, the next personnel

located within Document PAINT-THE-TOWN-YELLOW will establish the next Location i, and their

immediate family will be notified of their death.

Description: SCP-4885 is an anomalous humanoid resembling the main character of the popular

series of puzzle books "Where's Wally?"

(known in the US as "Where's Waldo?").

This entails that SCP-4885 wears a horizontal red and white striped shirt, a red and white

bobble hat, and jeans.

However, a noticeable difference in appearance from the character is the entity's paler skin

and the lack of eyes.

In the event that a subject knows of SCP-4885's current location at any given time, SCP-4885

will move to the nearest wall and begin to "phase" into it.

SCP-4885 will appear inside of the subject, and will reach up the esophagus and grab the

subject's chin through their mouth.

SCP-4885 will then proceed to pull themselves through the subject, destroying their internal

organs and their spine.

Once this has occurred, a yellow liquid will exit the corpse's mouth and will cover the

subject entirely, which causes it to become an SCP-4885-1 instance.

SCP-4885 will remain in its current location, occasionally patrolling the area, until another

person discovers its location once again.

However, if SCP-4885 is close enough to the subject when they discover its location, they

will instead approach the subject, attempt to climb into the subject's mouth, enter their

abdomen and exit their body through the subject's pelvis.

During this time, SCP-4885 can easily dislocate/relocate any joint in its body, and its skin and muscles

will gain the consistency of a malleable solid, allowing it to easily climb into and out of

the subject.

SCP-4885-1 instances are anomalous corpses that were created by SCP-4885.

The entire body of an SCP-4885-1 instance is covered in illustrations similar to those

found in Where's Wally?

books, with many different characters appearing on the instance's skin.

These illustrations originate from the liquid that exits the corpses' mouth.

Currently, no instances of the cartoon character "Wally" have been found on an SCP-4885-1 instance.

These illustrations cannot be removed from the subject unless the skin it is placed on

is removed.

If a subject knows the location of any given SCP-4885-1 instance, SCP-4885 will teleport

itself to the subject and kill them in the exact same manner as if they discovered SCP-4885

itself.

This will also transform them into an SCP-4885-1 instance.

SCP-4885 was discovered residing in [LOCATION REDACTED] within a small wooden house.

Mobile Task Force Chi-19 ("Unrelenting Punishment") was sent to capture an entirely separate anomaly,

and did not know of SCP-4885's existence.

Subjects: Amelia Merrick (M-1), James Klein (M-2), Kurt Stoll (M-3)

[BEGIN LOG]

M-1: Mic check.

M-2: Yup.

M-3: All good.

M-1: Equipment check.

M-2: Everything's working as intended.

M-3: Ditto.

M-1: Transcript number…

67.

We are entering the house.

M-3: No one's talking to you Melly.

M-2: Oh, stop it.

Now is not the time, Kurt.

M-3: Heh, right, sorry.

The group enters the house.

M-1: Initial descriptions of the object were a pair of black spectacles capable of killing

the user, and covering their body in strange pictures from an unknown children's book.

M-3: It was obviously Where's Wa-

M-2: Kurt, stay professional.

M-3: I just want to bring some life into M-1's robotic speech.

M-1: I'm trying to keep my job, Kurt.

M-2: Ahem.

M-1: Sigh Right.

The group search the ground floor for the object, and begin to go upstairs.

Scraping noises are heard below them, but the group does not notice this.

M-3: There's a picture on the wall.

M-1: Hmm?

M-3: Yeah, looks weird.

Looks like crayon.

M-2: Take a picture.

M-3: Already on it.

M-2: Good.

Think it has something to do with the anomaly?

M-3: Of course.

It looks like Waldo.

M-1: Do any of you have an idea on where the object may be?

M-3: Er, I think it's in here.

M-1: Which room is this?

M-3: Um…

Bathroom.

There's a toilet and a… a shower, yeah.

At least I think it's a shower.

The room is circular, with a normal porcelain toilet at the other side of the room.

There is a small depression into the floor, leading to a small drain.

M-2: Strange… what kind of shower is this?

M-1: There is a modified sprinkler on the ceiling.

There's a switch on one side of the room that, I assume, would activate the sprinkler.

Seeing as this house has been abandoned for several years, I doubt it would work.

M-3 activates the switch.

Water begins to come out of the sprinkler.

M-1: I stand corrected.

Who is paying the water bill for this to work?

Is it still hot?

M-3 touches the water, and immediately recoils in pain.

M-3: Gah… it's scalding.

M-1: Who is…

M-2: I have discovered the object.

It was rested… uh, resting on the toilet.

M-2 is seen holding a pair of black circular glasses.

The lens appear to be missing.

M-1: Good.

You know the drill.

M-2 carefully examines the object, checking for fingerprints or any other traces of evidence.

A small set of fingerprints are discovered on the temples of the glasses, which are revealed

to be his own.

M-2: Yup, these are the ones.

I'll put these in a baggie real quick.

M-2 produces a plastic bag from a small container around their waist, and places the glasses

inside.

M-3: There's an inscription here.

It's in… uh, [REDACTED].

M-1: Where?

M-3: Over here, on the wall.

The phrase "[REDACTED]" is seen on the wall in [REDACTED].

M-3: This was definitely not here when we first got here.

Should we just leave it be and tell command about this, or?

M-2: It's most likely memetic.

Here.

let me translate it.

I have training.

M-2 takes out a small Foundation-made translator, and inputs the phrase.

M-2: Huh, well never mind, doesn't appear to be memetic.

It says…

"The basement.

The corpses from a child's book are in the basement.

He is there too.

Fr-.

" And then it cuts off.

M-3: Hm.

Take a picture and we'll send it ba-

M-2 begins to groan and hold their stomach.

M-3: Are you okay?

What happened?

A set of fingers exit M-2's mouth, and grab their jaw.

The hands push down, launching the jaw across the room.

SCP-4885 exits M-2's body.

M-1: W-what the f-

Both M-1 and M-3 begin shooting at SCP-4885.

The entity charges towards M-1 and shoves their fingers down their throat, and begin

clawing into their mouth by unhinging their jaw.

M-3: Please, fuck, oh god.

P-please, command.

We're at [LOCATION REDACTED].

I repeat, [LOCATION REDACTED].

We need assistance, asap.

Help.

HE-

The audio is abruptly severed.

[END LOG]

When the transcript was received by a nearby site, the site almost immediately went into

lockdown as SCP-4885 killed most of its personnel.

The O5 Council enacted an emergency meeting, and Procedure Invenient Eum was created.

Shortly after this, the procedure was enacted, and SCP-4885 was theorized to be contained.

All information regarding SCP-4885's location of discovery was removed via an automatic

algorithm, and SCP-4885's file was created.

Addendum

Location i's Creation

Note from Lead Researcher Andrew Pent

Recently, I was alerted to the apparent danger of SCP-4885 and the corpses that it creates.

Sure, we have Procedure Invenient Eum, but there are presumably hundreds of SCP-4885-1

instances out there that we cannot contain at all, as even the O5 Council has stated

that they do not know how to contain the corpses.

Here's my proposal.

I will require no D-Class, nor any help from anyone.

I will create an algorithm for drones and other machines to detect SCP-4885-1 instances,

grab them, and deliver them to a specific location, which I will refer to as Location

i.

Location i, as far as any of you are concerned, will not exist.

This "Location i" will be known to no one except for me, and me alone.

I will establish Location i in the algorithm that I have created, and I will allow SCP-4885-1

instances to be dropped off at Location i.

Any of you that know SCP-4885's effect know where this is going.

Once Location i has been established, and the algorithm is up and running, I will exile

myself to a location that, as far as any of you are concerned, will not exist.

I will cast myself to the forests, and I will wait for SCP-4885 to take me.

Roughly three days after I exile myself, activate Procedure Invenient Eum, and do not go looking

for Location i.

If you're reading this and you're not an O5, then everything that I just said has already

happened, and this proposal is a success.

No need to pray for me.

Instead, pray that you never find Waldo.
