SCP-001: "When Day Breaks" Item #: SCP-001 Object Class: Apollyon Special Containment Procedures: SCP-001 cannot be contained due to its nature as the sun itself. All personnel must remain indoors during daylight hours. All instances of SCP-001-A should be reported immediately, and all exposed individuals must be kept in a shaded environment to minimize further transformation. Under no circumstances should personnel venture outside during sunlight exposure. Standard operating procedures (SOP) involve curfews enforced globally to limit exposure to SCP-001. The public has been informed about severe weather conditions pertaining to "sunlight" to alleviate the risks for civilians while minimizing mass panic. Overview: SCP-001 is a manifestation of the sun, which possesses anomalous properties leading to severe implications for all biological entities with exposed flesh. Similar to its celestial counterpart, SCP-001 emits light and warmth; however, the anomalous property of SCP-001 transforms any biological entity that comes into contact with its light into humanoid blobs known as SCP-001-A instances. These instances exhibit predatory behavior, showcasing a desperate attempt to propagate SCP-001. Reason for Object Class: The classification of SCP-001 as an Apollyon is derived from its inherent qualities that make standard containment impossible. Efforts to neutralize or restrict SCP-001 have been deemed futile. Given its existential threat to humanity, SCP-001 poses a global risk, rendering continued research and containment efforts crucial but vanishingly unlikely to achieve a successful resolution. Discovery: SCP-001 was first reported to the Foundation after an anomalous phenomena occurred globally on ██/██/████, where a drastic increase in sunlight intensity led to sudden mass incarcerations of civilians into SCP-001-A instances. The anomalous nature of the sunlight was quickly associated with historical records of solar anomalies, leading to the designation of SCP-001 by Foundation operatives in the field. Research: Research into SCP-001 has primarily focused on understanding the transmission and propagation methods of SCP-001, the nature of SCP-001-A instances, and any potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities of SCP-001's properties. All tests performed under controlled environments produced alarming results, confirming that SCP-001 is immutable to any attempts to mitigate its effects. Addendums: Due to the limitations of experimentation with SCP-001, data collection remains primarily observational. Addendum SCP-001-05 documents daily accounts of SCP-001-A behavior, indicating a highly aggressive temperament towards remaining biological entities. A special task force has been organized to monitor any changes in behavior patterns, but results have been inconclusive as SCP-001 and its instances appear to perpetuate their influence over time. --- SCP-106: The Old Man Item #: SCP-106 Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: SCP-106 is to be contained in a sealed containment chamber constructed of reinforced stainless steel with a minimum thickness of 50 cm. Surveillance systems equipped with thermal imaging must be in place and monitored at all times. Personnel are advised against entering SCP-106’s containment chamber unless absolutely necessary, and all interactions are to be conducted via remote means. Testing of SCP-106 must occur under strict supervision, utilizing D-Class personnel to mitigate risks. Overview: SCP-106 manifests as an elderly humanoid with black, mucous skin, characterized by an unsettling aura of cruelty and sadism. SCP-106 possesses the ability to corrode solid matter and phase through barriers, allowing it to escape containment. Once free, SCP-106 selects prey based on psychological profiling and is known to incapacitate individuals before pulling them into its pocket dimension; a realm of torture and madness. Reason for Object Class: SCP-106 is classified as Keter due to its capability to escape containment, its predatory behavior, and the psychological effects it exerts on personnel and prey alike. The danger presented by SCP-106 demands maximum containment procedures and resources from the Foundation. Discovery: SCP-106 was discovered following reports of a series of abductions throughout rural locales, with survivors relaying a shared experience of encountering an elderly figure prior to the events. Investigative teams were dispatched, and SCP-106 was contained after a protracted engagement that required extensive use of tranquilizers to subdue the entity. Research: Research into SCP-106 has largely revolved around the understanding of its abilities and nature. Several tests have been conducted, focusing on its corrosion ability and possible means of neutralization; however, results have shown SCP-106's unpredictability poses significant risks, often leading to containment breaches. Addendums: Following notable incidents involving SCP-106 escaping containment, specialized protocols for interaction and testing have been implemented. Addendum SCP-106-07 details the incident on ██/██/████ when SCP-106 orchestrated a successful escape via utilizing its pocket dimension. Response teams are currently evaluating the potential for more robust containment measures utilizing an unknown individual SCP. --- Incident Report: SCP-001 vs. SCP-106 DATE: ██/██/████ LOCATION: Site-██ Incident Summary: During a scheduled containment breach drill aimed at securing SCP-106, anomalous solar activity caused a blackout and inadvertently exposed the facility to direct sunlight. As a result, the manifestation of SCP-001 began negatively impacting the containment protocols, engaging SCP-106 through the anomalies created within Site-██. Eye Witness Accounts: Civilian POV: “I didn’t know what was happening at first. I remember feeling the heat earlier that day, hotter than any summer I had experienced. Then I saw them. People melting into these… blobs of flesh. I ran, but it was like something was pulling me back. It wasn’t until I saw them begin chasing others that I realized it wasn’t safe… the sunlight, it took them… took them all…” - [REDACTED], local civilian SCP Agent POV: “We almost had a handle on SCP-106. Luring it to a more isolated area was simple enough, and containment should have gone smoothly. Until SCP-001 intervened, that is. The moment the blinding light filtered through the facility, everything changed. We lost landscape awareness. Members were converting into those SCP-001-A instances, and suddenly all our tactical rigor was erased in that horrifying flash of light.” - Agent [REDACTED] --- Found Footage: Incident Citrus [BEGIN FOOTAGE] The footage opens with a panoramic view of Site-██ under the yellow tint of sunlight. Agents can be heard administering containment procedures for SCP-106. As SCP-106's chamber doors slide open, an intense brightness floods the camera feed. AGENT #1: “Emergency protocol activation! Secure the containment breach!” The camera abruptly shakes as SCP-106 becomes visible, standing in the doorway, oozing black mucus with phosphorescent eyes razor-focused on the agents. An agent lunges at SCP-106, but the creature merely sidesteps. [SCP-001 manifesting in the background. Bright light, screaming echoes immediately cloaked in darkness.] SCP-106: (cackles) “So bright! Come closer!” Suddenly, SCP-001-A instances rush through the door, clumping into a chaotic mass, stretching limbs as they lunge toward the agents. The footage ends with static feedback, sounds of chaos and horror blending until everything trails off into darkness. [END FOOTAGE] --- Conclusion: The containment scenario representative of SCP-001 and SCP-106 culminated in a catastrophic failure. SCP-106’s containment protocols were compromised irreversibly due to the appearance of SCP-001. The implications of this incident suggest the beginning of a profound crisis wherein both SCP-001 and SCP-106 actively engaged in a newly established anomalous relationship, leading to unmatched existential threats to humanity. Containment is classified as a failure, leading the SCP Foundation to reevaluate strategic responses to global anomalous events effectively—response protocol reformation is underway, with the need for comprehensive harsh sunlight safety tactics a pressing matter. The ongoing threat of SCP-001 cannot be understated; alternatives for relocating personnel from sunlight continue to be images of priority for remaining unaffected operations. Final Note: In the wake of SCP-001 and SCP-106's intersection, the Foundation has positioned a reevaluation and alteration of precursor containment strategies. The ramifications of these events underline an urgent appeal to the global community and mushrooming miasma of despair and dread across our world. Winner: SCP-001
