《SCP : Chaos Theory》 ENTRY I : ENIGMA LOG DATE : 7/15/[REDACTED] [BEGIN LOG] E : Greetings. My name is Dr. [REDACTED]. Hm, good to know. This thing automatically redacts sensitive information. I¡¯ll simply go by the nickname I¡¯ve been given by my peers, ¡°Enigma¡±. I¡¯m a researcher at the SCP Foundation working at Site-[REDACTED]. I¡¯ve been asked by Site Director Klaus to begin logging my thoughts and activities starting today, using a device that¡¯s similar in appearance to a smartphone, but instead of making calls or having apps, it simply records my voice and translates it into text form. It also allows me to manually type text, if speech-to-text doesn¡¯t function properly for some reason. Site Director Klaus wanted me to begin these logs so that I can be reviewed easily, due to my ¡°odd¡± behavior. I¡¯m known for possessing no fear or anxiety when it comes to interacting with the ¡°SCPs¡± contained at the facility. Prior to the date 1/13/[REDACTED], I regularly requested to be part of a team monitoring Keter-Class anomalies, until Site Director Klaus told me he¡¯d revoke my Euclid-Class privileges if I asked again. I¡¯ve also been asked to give a description of my physical appearance, in the event that one of the higher-ups needs to get ahold of me and knows who to look for. Pretty sure they already know everything about me, but I guess orders are orders. I suppose it¡¯d be best to start with my heritage, though what I know is limited. I never knew my parents, having grown up as an Orphan before being adopted by Dr. [REDACTED]. However, analysis of my DNA revealed the following ancestry : 80% Caucasian, 10% Asian, 10% Unrevealed Always found that last part strange. My only guess is that I have relations to some sort of well-known individual, and they don¡¯t want me to know for whatever reason. Or maybe I¡¯m related to someone in the Foundation and they don¡¯t want Drama. I¡¯m not sure, but the 10% Asian is convenient, seeing as how it matches Dr. [REDACTED]¡¯s ethnicity. Continuing with my notable physical features : The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. White & unruly Hair (Colour is due to Albinism), Light Violet eyes (Colour is due to Albinism), 5¡¯10¡± (1.5 Meters), 180 lbs (81.6 Kilograms), Scar running horizontally under Left Eye (From an Injury during Childhood), Late 20s (Exact Age would be Redacted) As for my medical details, my regular checkups have confirmed I¡¯m of good health. A Mental evaluation given upon officially joining the SCP Foundation revealed that I have signs of ADHD, though no other conditions were identified. Due to my nature of not only having no fear regarding SCPs and Anomalies (And actually showing abnormal interest in both), I¡¯ve undergone regular Mental Evaluations in addition to my regular Checkups, though there¡¯s still been no major signs of mental instability. I¡¯ll finish by giving details regarding my occupation at Site-[REDACTED] : Level 2 Security Clearance (Currently undergoing approval for Level 3), Class C, Researcher That¡¯s all the relevant personal information, leaving only my¡­unique residential situation. Following incident [REDACTED], which caused the death of Dr. [REDACTED] and the destruction of his properties, Site Director Klaus (with permission granted) authorized for modifications to my Office, such as a Bed and shower. I currently live at Site-[REDACTED], and it¡¯s planned for me to continue living here in the near future. As for my current assignments, I typically only observe Safe (rarely Euclid) Class SCPs at Site-[REDACTED]. Though, I have some minor personal experiments that have been authorized by the Site Director. These experiments are typically just hypothetical studies which are reviewed by fellow Researchers. I¡¯ve also been allowed to review any reports regarding Safe-Class SCPs, so long as they don¡¯t include any anomalies of a higher Object Class. Despite my eccentricities, Site Director Klaus considers me a reliable member of the Research team, though he still gives me a hard time if I¡¯m being too much, and he does his best to keep me in line. Honestly, back in my early days I was harder to reign in than a Keter-Class SCP, so props to him for managing to mellow me out a little over the years. As per my instructions, this Log and all future Logs will be submitted to Site Director Klaus, and will be turned over to Higher-Ranking members of the Foundation if deemed necessary in the future. [END LOG] Dboopu Gfbs ENTRY II : The Statues LOG DATE : 7/17/[REDACTED] [BEGIN LOG] E : I¡¯m making this Log two days after my first one, following one of my rare interactions with a Euclid-Class SCP. Particularly, one of the first and most well-known Anomalous Objects the Foundation has come across, or so I¡¯ve heard. SCP 173. One of my side projects involves studying samples of 173¡¯s Excrement, as I¡¯ve taken interest in its acidic and anomalous properties. Granted, I have to subconsciously block the knowledge that it¡¯s basically statue [REDACTED] out of my mind when I do experiments on the samples. However, that wasn¡¯t necessarily the purpose of the recent experiment. We had recently been authorized to test a new model of Camera that the engineers believe may be more resistant to damage from SCP 173¡¯s excrement, as many systems and devices have been in the past. To perform the experiment, we had a few D-Class personnel keep their eyes on it while the camera was installed. We also made sure to have the testing chamber perfectly clean. Afterwards, I personally monitored SCP 173 through the camera, along with a fellow member of the Research Staff, Dr. Lynn Griffin. We took turns monitoring SCP 173 over a period of about 3 weeks, finding that the Camera¡¯s visual quality had degraded by the 15th Day, and was practically useless by the 20th, no longer able to serve the purpose it was installed for. Still, this experiment showed promise, as the Camera lasted significantly longer than previous camera models that were used in its containment chamber. Further refinement of the model and experimentation with the excrement itself could help develop surveillance equipment capable of keeping SCP 173 stationary for long periods of time. However, the purpose of this Log was not only to detail the results of the test, but to also discuss a recent incident involving an anomalous Object that was transferred to Site-[REDACTED] during the aforementioned test with SCP 173. During this time, SCP 689, nicknamed ¡°The Haunter in the Dark¡±, was transferred here for testing and containment. I don¡¯t know the details, but I heard its previous chamber was damaged during a containment breach, requiring it to be moved. What I do know is that it¡¯s already caused an incident. About 5 Days ago, it was discovered that the containment chamber had been tampered with, the door no longer able to close. Needless to say, given the nature of SCP 689, this presents a major problem and security risk. We¡¯re already looking into who tampered with the door, following the event informally known as the ¡°689 Office Occupation¡±, where a chain reaction with the statue¡¯s effect lead to several members of Staff dying, and SCP 689 being temporarily confined within Dr. Griffin¡¯s Office. Something Lynn¡¯s very upset about, mind you. We¡¯re awaiting orders on what to do, and there¡¯s already been a request to transfer SCP 689 to a more secure facility. My personal guess? I think one of the members of Staff could¡¯ve been the one to tamper with it to incite chaos. Lynn says it¡¯s a ridiculous theory, but then again I¡¯ve always been a fan of Chaos Theory in my hypotheses. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. [END LONG] LOG DATE : 7/20/[REDACTED] [BEGIN LOG] E : SCP 689 was retrieved just yesterday. Along with it, one of the newer camera models I mentioned before was taken to another Site for further testing. Things are certainly looking up in that department. Now, to address my previous comment about someone potentially tampering with the containment chamber intentionally, I¡¯m aware that I¡¯ve no evidence of this, and that I shouldn¡¯t overstep my boundaries. My intentions were not to incite suspicion or panic, but to offer my own opinion on the matter. I¡¯ll refrain from commenting on it further, as were the instructions from Site Director Klaus, though I¡¯ll still be keeping my eyes open and investigating as much as my clearance allows. In related news, Dr. Griffin¡¯s Office was left in tact, though she didn¡¯t seem to appreciate my joke about keeping it as an ¡°Attention-Grabbing Decoration¡±, as she proceeded to put a realistic Cardboard Cutout of SCP 173 in my Office while I was sleeping and damn near gave me a heart attack. All in good fun, though I¡¯m definitely getting her back at some point. I¡¯m keeping the cutout by the way, it¡¯s cool. [END LOG] Dboopu Mjf ENTRY III : ORANGE BLOB OF JOY LOG DATE : 7/25/[REDACTED] [BEGIN LOG] E : I got called into a Testing Chamber today. They didn¡¯t give any details other than I¡¯d be interacting with a ¡°Special SCP¡±. Got my hopes up thinking it¡¯d be some really interesting Euclid or Keter SCP, turns out it was a Safe Class SCP named SCP 999. I¡¯d heard of it before, but I¡¯d never heard anything about it being contained at this Site. According to Site Director Klaus, they wanted SCP 999 to visit more Sites and meet different members of the Foundation, so one of the Sites they sent it to temporarily was our¡¯s. Guess they wanted to see how SCP 999 and I interact with each other. As SCP 999 was released its Relocation Chamber, basically a mid-sized box that relatively smaller SCPs can be safely transported within, it looked around curiously for a few seconds, before immediately locking onto the Site Director and practically attacking his legs with a ¡°hug¡±. Honestly with how grouchy he can be, I¡¯m not surprised he was SCP 999¡¯s first target. It was making cute gurgling noises as it cuddled with the other Researchers. As for me, well¡­while I¡¯m usually up for interacting with SCPs, I¡¯m not a big fan of actual Physical Contact, so I was admittedly keeping my distance on the other side of the room, which seemed to amuse the other researchers almost as much as 999¡¯s tickle attacks. Particularly Dr. Griffin, who was petting SCP 999¡¯s head¡­or ¡°head¡±. I guess a glob of slime doesn¡¯t really have a Head. Dr. Griffin, with her sick sense of humor, suddenly set SCP 999 down and guided it directly towards me. SCP 999 approached me and clung to my leg, making me fall over onto my [REDACTED]. As SCP 999 crawled up my leg, I felt a sense of euphoria spread throughout my body, and as much as I hate to admit, I started to enjoy the little blob a bit. Although, despite it still making contact with me, those feelings started to dull. I was still happier than my ¡°usual¡±, but not as much as before. This seemed to confuse both the other researchers and SCP 999 itself. After a moment, SCP 999 backed away, letting me stand up. At that point, the anomalous effects of SCP 999 seemed to largely vanish from me. I left the room, pretty annoyed at that little stunt Dr. Griffin pulled, and was eager to get back to my Work. However, as I made my way out, I realized that SCP 999 was still following me. And it¡¯s still keeping close to me now. According to the document I was given, it has a tendency to follow around people who are generally moody or unhappy. Perfect for the ¡°grumpy introvert¡±, huh. I¡¯m not worried about it for now, though. [END LOG] LOG DATE : 7/26/[REDACTED] [BEGIN LOG] E : Well, SCP 999¡¯s still been following me around. In fact, it seemed to get upset when I locked it out of my Office so I could sleep, and wouldn¡¯t stop making noise until I let it back in, at which point it slept on top of me like I was a mattress. Admittedly, it gave me a more peaceful sleep than I¡¯ve had in a long time, and having a 120lbs ball of semi-solid Slime laying on top of me was like a weighted blanket. It followed me around during my morning routine, and continued throughout the workday. I swear I heard the other Researchers gossipping about it. SCP 999 periodically cling to my leg or attempt to tickle me, seemingly trying to cheer me up a lot more than it was. Thankfully, my workload today wasn¡¯t very intensive, so the little guy wasn¡¯t exactly disruptive. It was mostly just reviewing some files, discussing some theories regarding some less complex SCPs, etc. Although, SCP 999 seemed to be interested when one of the Researchers offhandedly mentioned SCP 682. I heard the two of them had some kind of history, though it¡¯s currently classified. I don¡¯t even know much about SCP 682 in general, so that¡¯s not very surprising. I¡¯ve only heard it¡¯s an extremely dangerous Keter-Class SCP. Stolen novel; please report. Once the workday was done, I turned in for the night in my Room, though I ended up being caught up in one of my side-projects examining Safe-Class SCP Files. It ended up getting pretty late, and SCP 999 practically dragged me from my desk to my bed, seemingly not wanting me to stay up very late. Couldn¡¯t really argue, so I figured I¡¯d just go to bed and it¡¯d be fine tomorrow. After all, SCP 999¡¯s only planned to be here for three days, so he¡¯ll be going to another Site tomorrow. [END LOG] TRANSCRIPT DATE : 7/27/[REDACTED] [BEGIN TRANSCRIPT] [Automatic Audio Recording from 9:17 AM] (The sound of equipment falling over, and a faint sizzling noise) E : MOTHER [REDACTED]! My freaking samples! They¡¯re all over the stupid desk! I swear to- [Enigma went on a short rant in his foster language of Japanese, but the Device was unable to record what he said, currently not supporting non-english language] 999 : [SCP 999 made a gurgling noise similar to a whimper in the background] E : O-oh, no no no, I¡¯m not mad at you! I¡¯m just¡­I¡¯m just mad, y¡¯know! 999 : [SCP 999 cooed and gurgled happily] E : H-hey, that wasn¡¯t an invitation for a tickle fight! [At this point, Enigma realized the Logging Device was recording, and deactivated it] [END TRANSCRIPT] LOG DATE : 7/27/[REDACTED] [BEGIN LOG] E : After the Incident this morning, which resulted in my samples of SCP 173¡¯s acidic excrement ruining my desk, and some of the research inside mind you, a cleanup crew came in and got rid of the desk. Luckily, at least 65% of my papers inside weren¡¯t severely damaged, and some of the damaged papers were recoverable. Later that day, the whole Site got together and threw SCP 999 a small goodbye party. Nothing big, just everyone telling the little guy goodbye. Dr. Griffin gave him a small plush of himself that she knitted herself. SCP 999 seemed to really like it. I¡¯m not much for festivities or goodbyes, but¡­admittedly I let SCP 999 keep a small clay model I made of SCP 914. And with one more goodbye hug, SCP 999 got into its Relocation Chamber and made the journey to the next Site. Hope he has as much fun there as he did here. In other news, the other Researchers have been interested in how SCP 999 didn¡¯t seem to have as much of an effect on me as it does with others. They did some blood and Skin Cell tests, which were sent to a lab off-site, but for some reason the Results are being withheld. The reason given was they think the results were messed up because of some outside factor in the lab. Guess we¡¯ll see when we see.
