While both sympathy and empathy have their place, empathy is often considered a more powerful form of emotional connection. When we are showing empathy, we're not only acknowledging someone else's pain, but we are trying to understand it on a deeper level and share that pain. This level of emotional connection can build trust and connection and strength in our relationship.


Raul Vavagweshwala, the Minister of Interior, says the state government are now mandated by law to build and manage correctional facilities. On March 17, 2020, President Mohammad Abouhari signed 16 constitutional amendment bills, including the re-designation of correctional services in concurrent legislative lease. Speaking at a two-day correction management event in Abuja, Raul Vavagweshwala said the constitutional amendment has also empowered states to make provision for the feeding and accommodation of inmates. States are now empowered to first of all enact their own law, establishing correctional services and build, control their facilities, going forward with that law. States that don't have their own facility. You pay for your inmates. Fedagome cannot bear this burden anymore. It's not a possibility to feed everybody.


Welcome to today's event a reminder to media on the line. Please press star one to enter the queue You will be limited to one question and one follow-up with that. I will hand it over to minister Farnworth Good afternoon everyone. I'm Mike Farnworth the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General for the province of British Columbia And I'm honored to be here on the traditional territory of the Laquungen speaking people and the song he's in the squimalt nations Joining me today are Rolly Russell parliamentary secretary for rural development and Jennifer Rice parliamentary secretary for emergency preparedness They are the provincial recovery liaisons liaisons who have been working with the village of Lytton, and I want to thank them for joining me here today I'd like to start by acknowledging how incredibly difficult it's been for the people of Lytton To see their homes and community burned to the ground and to have their lives uprooted and All this while there's so much other uncertainty happening in the world It requires strength and resilience and so today I'd like to also thank the leadership and residents of Lytton for having those qualities and spades For having a strong and inspiring sense of community Now that the weather has warmed up in Lytton and following the fall flooding The roads are clear and we are at the point where we can start to rebuild and accelerate the work of rebuilding Today we are announcing an additional 18.4 million dollars in new provincial funding to support the rebuilding of Lytton This will cover the substantial costs of debris removal Archaeological work and soil remediation for all the uninsured and underinsured properties in the village The debris removal work will start with the municipal property sites tomorrow And expand to residential properties once that work is complete We are taking action to speed up the progress and support the community through the very challenging task of rebuilding ahead This recovery is a partnership and the province continues to have the backs of the people of Lytton To make sure this work moves forward and takes place as quickly and as smoothly as possible We are removing some of the cost obstacles for both the village and residents And we're working closely with insurance providers non-government organizations and the village to coordinate it all First we're financing the immediate removal of debris including ash soot metals bricks and other building materials from more than 200 properties Following this the province is coordinating and funding the costs for the archaeological work This is an area of significant cultural importance and we need to be careful and respectful That said we do not want the cost of archaeological work to be a barrier to the people of Lytton This work will identify and preserve any findings in the area and will further our reconciliation and Collaborative resource management with the Entle Capem Nation The last step to this important work is site remediation Soil remediation will remove any contaminants from the ground and restore the landscape into a safe site for the village and residents to rebuild on To help meet these milestones quickly the province is also funding a work site with temporary housing for up to 30 staff consultants and construction workers Who are going to be doing a lot of this work on the ground? As well we have dedicated An assistant deputy minister to work hand in hand with the village of Lytton and ensuring that things move as they are supposed to Clearly there's a lot of work ahead And we're backing the community to get this done and get it done right The funding announced today will clear the way for the rebuilding of Lytton In closing I'd like to say that the province continues to be there for the community of Lytton And as partners in this recovery. We will continue our support Thank you, and I'll now pass it on to parliamentary secretary russell Thank you. Mr. Farmer earth I'm very pleased to be here today to celebrate this hopeful news for Lytton It has certainly been a difficult road for everyone in the community and we know people are eager to rebuild and get home Today's announcement will help mitigate future delays and will help everyone in the community move forward together faster through this recovery As recovery liaisons for the province parliamentary secretary Jennifer rice and myself have visited Lytton and have been working closely with their mayor and council We've also been attending regular town halls with the community Listening and bringing their feedback back to minister farnworth cabinet and ministry staff We have certainly heard from community and echoed by the mayor that there is a desire for more clarity around what the process will look like To get back to swinging hammers and rebuilding So we want to assure the people of Lytton that we will be continuing to clarify and support that need It's so important that governments at all levels work in partnership in times of great need or struggle And so I'm grateful for Lytton spirit and determination to build back their community I hope that today's announcement will reassure the people of Lytton that despite challenges The province is here to help the support the community wherever and whenever obstacles arise And together we are making progress We look forward to moving into this stage of recovery that will bring us closer to getting those shovels into the ground Thank you, and I'll pass it over to parliamentary secretary Jennifer rice Thank you I want to echo parliamentary secretary russell's As to enthusiasm for this significant milestone We know the community has been through a lot since last summer Including several setbacks along the way We experienced a long difficult wildfire season Followed by unprecedented fall flooding Throughout these past months It's been a privilege to work directly with the community and their leaders in our work as provincial recovery liaisons The work and funding we're announcing today is a huge step in the right direction on the path to rebuilding Lytton This will build on other supports. The province has provided for Lytton's recovery We recently provided 9.3 million dollars in funding to support the village with its ongoing operations and recovery 2.1 million of the funding is supporting the village through three years of core operations So they can focus on planning recovery and rebuilding Rather than on generating revenue And we're directly funding several positions in Lytton's recovery team to provide the community with the personnel needed through the next steps This includes a project manager who is overseeing key work streams on debris removal and water systems This previous funding and getting Lytton the support they require on the ground has gotten to us where we are today And i'm so proud to see that work that work come together With this new announcement which will greatly accelerate the recovery We all want to get Lytton rebuilt as soon as possible And with the work that starts tomorrow, we're on track to do just that Thank you, and i'll now turn it back to minister farnworth We're accepting questions from the media now. I will remind the media to press star one to enter the queue You will be limited to one question and one follow-up. Our first question today comes from less lane times colonist Well, thanks minister 250 days as Is continually raised in the legislature with Not much in the way of any sign of progress there. Is there can you isolate a reason or It seems like an excessive amount of time to get going even if you discount the rainfall over the fall. I mean you BC rebuilt two major highways over that period of time And they can't seem to get anything started on this village in As I said 250 days. What's the reason for that? There's been a significant amount of work done In terms of the rebuilding a lot of it has been work that needs to be done before the actual rebuilding can take place So first off the site was very much a toxic site And so there has to be dealing with the toxic materials that were there There had to be a lot of sifting done for that was done on a By a volunteer basis and organizations to try and recover what personal artifacts remain to For for for for people At the same time working very closely with the village of Lytton in terms of their their capacity to function As a community we put staff resources to them brought in a An acting or a new Administrative officer for the community Working to ensure that they're able to deal with their bylaws And the reality is in terms of the the weather event It had a significant impact on the the timeline in terms of the debris removal Because a lot of the debris removal has to go to specialized locations At the same time on the existing road that was available There are Significant load limits on that particular highway route So there have been many challenges on a community That was completely and totally destroyed That being said we're now at a point where we are able to make Significant progress in terms of the rebuilding of the of the community so that people can return to it Lest you have a follow-up Some people are suggesting that As you said the community is completely and totally destroyed It didn't have a lot of capacity to begin with as a small village And the leadership was just as traumatized as everyone else was should there have been the more direct Provincial control or I don't know Administrative ship or more direct guidance and all those countless decisions that have had to be made over the last several months We've been working very closely with the the village of litten Um, I know that the uh in terms of when you said administrative or trusteeship Um, there's not much of a precedence for that In this province or anywhere for that matter that I am aware of The best way forward is to work with the community on the ground That's why my two colleagues the parliamentary secretaries were tasked with liaising liaisening with the community which they have done Part of the rebuilding process, of course Must involve the residents and how they would like to see their community rebuilt along with the the council In terms of what is their direction and their future that the future that they see for litten All of those things are are are critical if this rebuilding is to take place successfully It's not a case for the province to come in and start dictating. This is how you how your community is going to be rebuilt Uh, what's critical is is that the local people are involved Uh, and being able to deal and address with the concerns that we are dealing with today such as you know, how many, um Buildings are how many individuals there are insured how many are uninsured Uh, the relationship with the first nations band As well, uh, also involving the the federal government All of those things are are critical components. So, uh, the approach Has it taken time? Yes, it has recovery nearly always does But we're on the right track and this announcement today is going to significantly um Allow that that recovery to to Pick up at a very rapid pace Our next question today comes from mandy wen fairchild radio Um, hi minister fan work Um, I have a question regarding the litten chinese history museum Which was also destroyed by the wildfire last year So i'm wondering is the province planning to rebuild the litten chinese history museum Thank you Uh, certainly that's one of the important aspects of litter of litten As i've said in my remarks, this is an important heritage site Not just in terms of first nations heritage, but also the broader community and in particular the the chinese community There was some significant work in trying to recover Artifacts from that site and obviously that's something we want to work with Going forward Mandy, do you have a follow-up? Um, no, i'm good. Thank you. Thank you very much for the next question. We go to joel ballard cbc Yes, hello minister. Thanks for taking my question Um, I am wondering if you can give us a clearer timeline I know in the short term work starts tomorrow But in the long term what we're looking at especially for People who have lost their homes and and are waiting to find out when they will eventually be able to move Back into their community Well this the debris removal is the critical the critical start of that process. So it's starting with the municipal structures and then is being coordinated with the fully insured the and the under and uninsured Residents in terms of that that debris removal and we would like to see that take place as quickly as possible That being said, of course That's one of the reasons why we're picking up the cost the cost of the archaeological work and coordinating that work But we want to see this Move as quickly as possible and that's why the resources are in today's announcement to do just that Joel, do you have a follow-up? Yes, um, do you mind clarifying the amount that the province is providing now? I know you announced the 18.4 million I'm just wondering if all the other announcements you made around funding construction work site Living site is that all included in the 18.4 million or is there a more financially? That's in the 18.4 million At the same time that's over and above the additional 9.3 that we have already announced Which was to assist the the village of Lytton in terms of its recovery It's its recovery as an as an administrative unit But also with some of the other infrastructure that's there Our final question for today comes from Shannon waters bc today They have a question on another issue for the minister back in 2019 when um, British columbians were still learning in bits and pieces sort of what had gone on in terms of alleged Misspending and misappropriation of public funds at the bc legislature by the former clerk whose trial has just wrapped up You said that you were looking at making changes to make the legislature subject to foi Make things more transparent and make it easier for Every day British columbians and journalists to get access to information about what's going on in the bc legislature Whatever happened to that effort? Well, uh, we've actually done that In terms of increased transparency and your ability to get information In fact, you're able to access more information now than ever before So for example all spending uh in the clerk's office all spending, uh in the speaker's office Is now public information and you don't have to file an foi request to get it Shannon do you have a follow-up? Yeah, have you spoken to the independent officers who were calling for very specific sort of amendments to be made to legislation? now some of those um Practices and procedures within the house have changed but the calls from the independent officers remain the same Having spoken to some of them back in january They'd still like you to make the changes that you promised to make back in 2019 Is that something you plan to do? There are still some changes that we would like to make but we also need to make sure that that uh That the changes don't impact the the standing of the legislature So currently for example the independent officers of the legislature are independent officers of the legislature and We if you were to make uh Any additional changes it would be to make sure that that role stays the stays in that way that it does not make them What would be known as independent officers of the legislative assembly? Which would mean that the legislature would be subordinate, uh, and that's not how our system works That being said, um, we're quite open to uh to making additional changes in terms of improving improving transparency and we will continue to do that You know, uh, we have a lot of work as as as governments and that and that work will continue But what we were particularly, um Clear on and given the what we saw back in 2019 with the the results that uh that came In terms of what was happening in the clerk's office, for example We moved very quickly, uh to ensure that there is full transparency in that area And so that now you are able to access receipts And spending uh in the clerk's office and in the speaker's office without having to access freedom of information It it is all online and so, uh, you know, I think that's what the public wanted to wanted to know That uh, that they could, you know, see those things and and you can do just that Thank you very much everyone for your participation. That concludes today's availability


Item No. SCP-1125 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-1125 is kept within its original packing, including styrofoam padding and an isolated room measuring 15m x 15m x 15m at Site-37. SCP-1125 is kept in a lock-stainless steel box on a concrete pestle that is protected from the elements in a 25m x 25m roofless containment area open to the air in at least a 180° arc. On less part of an experiment, no sealed or closed containers are allowed within the containment area, including pockets in clothing and end caps on pens. Personnel should spend no more than 60 minutes per 24-hour period within the containment area. Description SCP-1125 is a spindle-shaped glass ornament, with a small loop at the top allowing it to be hung from a hook. When hung on a tree, bush, or other woody plant, it initiates a process of accelerating decay and aging in any closed containers within 4m of it. The contents of these containers will change so as to reflect the signs of typical wear and tear that the object would acquire over the course of several years. Textiles, clothing, and stuffed plush animals become faded and threadbare, often with ripped seams and missing or broken fasteners. Solid-state metal, plastic, or glass objects will display chips, cracks, scratches, and heavy corrosion similar to acid burns. Electronics display both hardware and software problems, sufficient to cause fatal shutdowns within a few minutes of use. Foodstuffs will become stale or moldy. Dating organisms do not die, but display health problems consistent with age, as well as extended malnourishment, neglect, or abuse. The decay process is rapid, with affected objects displaying approximately one year's worth of aging within the first 24 hours of exposure. However, the rate of decay slows over time, and asymptotically approaches a maximum of approximately 10 years worth of aging over the course of three weeks. Addendum 1225-D Study of SCP-1225's pre-containment circumstances, as well as experimentation regarding the aging effects of long-term exposure to SCP-1225, indicate that SCP-1225 is a secondary effect. Any individuals that spend more than 4 hours per 24-hour period within 10 to 12 meters of SCP-1225 begin to display increased levels of aggression, anger and irritability, decreased patients of frustration tolerance, and exaggeration of negative or annoying personal traits, such as overeating, alcohol consumption, snoring, and unpleasant body odor. This effect persists even when the affected individuals are no longer within range of SCP-1225, but gradually fade over the course of eight days. This increase in aggravating factors typically results in heightened levels of interpersonal conflict, most commonly expressed by severe verbal or physical fights. When more than one individual affected by SCP-1225 interact with each other, the effects are much more severe and escalate much faster. In 27.5% of cases, this results in serious injuries or fatalities. Addendum 1225-H Due to a statistically abnormal amount of equipment failure, structural decay, and interpersonal conflicts requiring administrative action at Site-37, more in-depth studies were performed on SCP-1225. The current prevailing theory is that SCP-1225 still operates, even when not placed on a plant, but much slower and less intensely. It appears to treat enclosed structures or buildings containing it as if they were containers placed beneath it, and will affect them as well. Whether or not the containing structure includes a roof, trellis, or other overhead cover appears to most strongly determine whether or not SCP-1225 will affect the structure. The acquisition of D-Class personnel from SCP-784 is currently under consideration due to the fact that these personnel are less prone to equipment failures caused by SCP-1225. Whatever research is required in order to determine the exact nature of this effect, containment protocols have been updated. Item number SCP-784 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-784 has been disguised as a gated community and is currently surrounded by a 3.5 meter high, 0.8 meter thick concrete wall to deter intrusion. The top of the wall is lined with electrified steel cable, and the gate is to be locked. Any non-foundation personnel attempting to enter SCP-784 are not to be interfered with due to the possibility provoking a violent reaction from the occupants of SCP-784. Non-foundation personnel exiting SCP-784 are to be detained, questioned, and released following administration of a Class B amnesty. Non-foundation personnel entering SCP-784 are to be dressed in traditional Christmas wear prior to entering SCP-784. The area composing SCP-784 is to be monitored remotely by a Foundation-controlled weather balloon. In the event that personnel are required to enter SCP-784, all involved personnel must have memorized the entire contents of the ██████ beginner's guide to Christmas carols. They are to be checked for precision prior to entering SCP-784. Due to SCP-784's proximity to suburban housing developments as well as the ramifications of provoking SCP-784-1, patrols within SCP-784 are to be unarmed except during a Noelle event. In the case of an unexpected Noelle event, members of SCP-784-1 are to be restrained as non-violently as possible, while Foundation personnel prepare procedures 784-C. Description SCP-784 is a neighborhood in the town of ████, Texas. Currently, SCP-784 is made up of 24 houses and two apartment buildings, all of which are decorated with ████ brand Christmas lights at a density of approximately 15 lights per square meter of housing. SCP-784 will always be covered by between 12 and 33 cm of snow, though no unseasable weather will occur above SCP-784. All houses within SCP-784 are occupied by a variable number of instances of SCP-784-1. SCP-784-1 is composed mostly of adult humans, all of whom wear sweaters typically associated with holiday gift-giving. The number of unique instances of SCP-784-1 within SCP-784 has been estimated at ████. Instances of SCP-784-1 have not been observed engaging in reproductive activity, and no instances of SCP-784-1 have ever observably been born within SCP-784. Instances of SCP-784-1 appear to age normally, though the death of an instance of SCP-784-1 has never been observed by Foundation personnel. All instances of SCP-784-1 express traits commonly associated with Christmas spirit throughout the year. These traits include singing of Christmas carols, performance of plays commonly associated with the birth of Christ, and various eggnog related festivities. These activities are engaged in daily, though specific activities will never repeat more than once per week. Within daylight hours, instances of SCP-784-1 will engage in activities such as gift exchanges and home decoration. Post-sunset activities include decorating of foreign objects, as well as vandalism, which is typically holiday-themed. A Foundation supply convoy refueling overnight near SCP-784 attracted an unprecedented response from SCP-784-1, which proceeded to Egg several intransit prefabricated buildings, convert a Humvee into a sleigh, replace a shipment of fragmentation grenades with similar appearing glass ornaments, fill the gas tank of several vehicles with Welled steel antlers onto 156 safety helmets. Any living creature within SCP-784 not viewed as displaying adequate Christmas spirit will become the focus of all instances of SCP-784-1 within approximately 4 meters. In the case of an animal, instances of SCP-784-1 will be called from the nearest house and place a holiday-themed accessory on the focus. Observed decorations have included 15 collars, red with a small bell, 7 reindeer antlers, 5 red Santa hats, one full-body reindeer holiday outfit. Human subjects who do not meet SCP-784's criteria for Christmas spirit will be assaulted by SCP-784-1 incapacitated and forcibly directed into the nearest household. They will not be seen until the following day, when they will exit the household dressed similarly to other instances of SCP-784-1. Attempts to retrieve affected personnel have been met with great resistance on both the part of SCP-784-1 and the affected individual. The criteria which SCP-784 follows for definition of Christmas spirit appears to be extremely broad. See Addendum 784-A, where a complete log of personnel abducted and assumed reasons for abduction. Approximately once per month, SCP-784-1 will attempt to exit SCP-784 and enter the surrounding suburban community. This is referred to by on-site personnel as the Noelle Event. During a Noelle Event, each instance of SCP-784-1 will carry a string of Christmas lights estimated to be 15 meters long. Instances of SCP-784-1 will attach these lights to any nearby house, which will become decoratively and functionally identical to all other houses within SCP-784. Instances of an incoming Noelle Event include increased festivity during the day preceding the event, excessive eggnog consumption by a significant portion of SCP-784-1, and an increase in the number of decorations present within SCP-784. Procedure 784-C is to be executed prior to the occurrence of a Noelle Event. Foundation personnel are to dress themselves in traditional Santa outfits and distribute themselves near the exit of SCP-784. They are to begin singing Good King Wenselus and distributing non-alcoholic eggnog to other personnel. On the arrival of SCP-784-1, personnel are to distribute eggnog mixed with a mild sedative to the crowd. Personnel are to appear friendly and cheerful at all times, as SCP-784-1 is proven capable of abducting personnel while nearly unconscious. Following the distribution of eggnog, personnel are encouraged to sing carols associated with peace and goodwill. Silent night is proven most effective. Instances of SCP-784-1 will begin to sing along, and personnel are to accept their choice of song. SCP-784-1 will begin to fall unconscious as the night progresses. Instances of SCP-784-1 will be removed to nearby houses by other instances, and personnel are not to interfere with this process. Any interference with the actions of SCP-784-1 may trigger a violent response and will wake all instances of SCP-784-1. Instances of SCP-784-1, not affected by Procedure 784-C, are to be silently incapacitated with no longer visible from the gate to the community, and returned after all other instances of SCP-784-1 at re-entered SCP-784. In the event that Procedure 784-C fails, Foundation personnel are to release an aerosolized sleeping gas. Foundation personnel are to restrain instances of SCP-784-1 until the gas takes effect, at which time all instances are to be returned to SCP-784. Standard cover story 139, Drunken Football, is to be used to respond to any concerns expressed by nearby residents. Addendum 784-A, Action Taken by Personnel, Action Taken by SCP-784-1 Agent Paulson, on patrol within SCP-784, wished a nearby instance of SCP-784-1 happy holidays. Approximately eight instances of SCP-784-1 surrounded Paulson, who was unable to escape. Paulson was dragged into a nearby home. Agent Matthew sang the incorrect verse of Silent Night while on night patrol within SCP-784. Several instances of SCP-784-1 incapacitated Matthews non-violently, using a nearby string of decorative lights. Attempted intervention by Agent Sanderson led to the involvement of a large crowd of SCP-784-1, which overwhelmed both agents. Matthews and Sanderson were dragged into a nearby home, after which personnel reported hearing the sound of Christmas carols from within the home for several days. Agent Anderson collided with a lawn ornament, apparently a Santa in the style of a traditional lawn gnome. Anderson proceeded to swear violently for the next fourteen seconds. Three nearby instances of SCP-784-1 held Anderson in place. A fourth emerged from a nearby home with a quarter eggnog, which Anderson was forced to ingest. Anderson collapsed and was dragged into the home from which the eggnog was retrieved. Agent Davis was presented with a gift by a child instance of SCP-784-1. Davis accepted the gift, but apparently failed to react with proper enthusiasm. Davis was incapacitated by a child instance of SCP-784-1 which tackled his legs. Several children emerged from a nearby home before Davis recovered, and then dragged Davis into the home which they had exited. Item number SCP-4666 The Class Keter Special Containment Procedures Web traffic and law enforcement channels worldwide are to be monitored for evidence of SCP-4666 activity, and particularly for cases of stalking or reports of anomalous phenomena involving families with young children. Should a vice-knocked event be suspected to be in progress, the nearest containment task force is to be dispatched to attempt containment of SCP-4666. Standard PDP-7 humanoid first contact protocols apply. Media coverage of family deaths attributed to SCP-4666 is to be suppressed or falsified to make said deaths appear of non-nomous home invasion murders. Forensic evidence and SCP-4666-A instances collected by non-foundation agencies are to be confiscated and witnesses amnesticized. Description SCP-4666 is currently believed to be a single, exceptionally long-lived humanoid entity of unknown origin. Survivors of vice-knocked events typically describe SCP-4666 as a very tall, between 2m and 2.3m elderly male of European descent, with an extremely emaciated appearance. The entity always appears completely naked, even when observed outdoors and freezing weather. Though the nature and extent of its anomalous properties remain uncertain, SCP-4666 appears capable of instantaneous or near-instantaneous travel to any location north of 40°N latitude and possibly to any location on Earth. SCP-4666 activity occurs exclusively within a period of 12 consecutive nights every year, from the 9th of December 21st to the 22nd to the 9th of January 1st to the 2nd. This period is known as SCP-4666's active phase. During this phase and what are termed vice-knocked events, SCP-4666 will appear at dwellings in one or multiple locations north of 40°N latitude. In all known vice-knocked events, these dwellings have shared the following characteristics. Isolated rural location, home to a family with at least one child under the age of 8, and situated in an area with snow cover lasting throughout the duration of the event. Vice-knocked events consist of the following general progression. Nights 1-7, children will report seeing SCP-4666 in the vicinity of their family's dwelling. The entity will typically be observed watching the dwelling from a distance, such as from across a nearby field or from the edge of a neighboring forest. In some cases, children will report waking up at night to find SCP-4666 watching them sleep through a window. Nights 8-11, family members, including the parents, will report sounds of footsteps coming from the roof or the attic. An extremely unpleasant odor will also frequently be noticed inside the dwelling. No cause for these phenomena will be found. As a result, parents will often begin to suspect that their family is being stalked, or even that their dwelling might be haunted. Nights 12, over the course of the night, one of two scenarios will occur. The first and most common is that SCP-4666 will kill all members of the family, saved from one child under the age of 8, whom it will abduct. SCP-4666 will inflict incapacitating injuries to family members while they are sleeping, then herd them into a single room of the dwelling where it will proceed to kill them and view of each other. The method of killing varies with the event, and will typically be preceded by some form of torture, which appears to serve a ritualistic purpose. See Vice-Knocked Events logged below. In the second scenario, which has occurred in roughly 15% of known Vice-Knocked Events, SCP-4666 will not harm the family. Family members will report hearing footsteps inside their dwelling during the night, though no signs of forced entry will be found. In the morning, children will discover presence at the foot of their beds. These will consist of toys crudely crafted from the remains of human children. See SCP-4666-A instances logged below. The criteria, if any, by which SCP-4666 determines the outcome of a Vice-Knocked Event are unknown. SCP-4666-V-30091 Vice-Knocked Events Log Notable Vice-Knocked Events Location Year Description of Vice-Knocked Event Unknown Village, Croatia Circa 1498 Unconfirmed, an entire family was killed with the exception of one of the children, age unknown, who was abducted. Though specific details about the event are not available in recovered documents, it was noted that the killings presented strong paganistic elements and that the family members had been made to suffer greatly prior to death. The Archbishop who oversaw the investigation wrote that he believed the family had been killed as part of a demonic ritual. Unknown Village, Rupert's Land, present day Ontario, Canada 1689 Unconfirmed, an entire family was killed with the exception of two of the children, one of whom was abducted and one of whom, female age unknown, escaped during the killings and was able to reach a nearby village. She told authorities that a naked man had broken into her family's dwelling during the night and proceeded to torture them. Exact methods did not specify in recovered documents. Upon investigation, the bodies of the family members were found inside their dwelling, hanging upside down from the ceiling. All had been exsanguinated.  The bodies of the parents and five other children were found inside a stable adjoining their dwelling. They had been restrained by having knives, pitchforks and other sharp implements forced through the palms of their hands and into the walls of the stable, before having their tongues removed, leading to hemorrhaging and death. Blood from the family members had then been used to paint elaborate patterns of unknown meaning on the hides of the mule, goat and two cows present in the stable. The animals themselves were not harmed. Neighbors told authorities that in the week preceding the killings, the father of the family had mentioned finding tracks in the snow around the family's dwelling, which appeared to have been made by bare human feet.  The bodies of the parents and one other child were found in the living room of their house. They had been restrained, and their feet held over the flames in the fireplace for an extended period of time, calciting the tissues of the feet and exposing the bones. They had then had their heads crushed with an unknown heavy implement. Hundreds of bite marks, believed to have been inflicted post-mortem, were found on each of the bodies. Announces of recovered police photographs have shown that the size, shape, and configuration of SCP-4666's teeth do not match those of a human being or of any known animal. Branches cut from a fir tree outside the house had also been placed over the bodies to unknown purpose. Skudanishaven Norway, 1971 An entire family was killed with the exception of the second youngest child, female age five, who was abducted. The bodies of the parents and two other children were found in the basement of their house. Each had at least one limb pulled off by brute force before being stabbed precisely 39 times with an unknown sharp implement, possibly a piece of bone from one of the removed limbs, resulting in massive blood loss and death. The family members had then been eviscerated and their small and large intestines removed and cut into 30 to 50 centimeter long pieces. These had been arranged in radiating lines around the bodies. Feces from the intestines had been used to trace symbols of unknown meaning on the walls of the basement. A. Instructor Iceland, 1996 An entire family was killed with the exception of the youngest child, female age four, who was abducted. The bodies of the parents and seven other children were found inside their house. All had large pieces of skin removed from their backs, necks and groins prior to death. Removed skin was found to have been partially consumed. They had then been killed by a decapitation with a buck saw that had belonged to the family. Following death, the family members' headless bodies had been carried to the respective rooms and placed on their beds. Each of the removed heads had also been placed upright on a step of the staircase leading from the first to the second floor, with the parents' heads on the top two steps and the children's heads on the lower steps in decreasing order of age. Document 4666B 30985, SCP-4666-A Instances Log Notable SCP-4666-A Instances Recovered Location Year Description of SCP-4666-A Instances Nermi, Spenland, 1811 A small wooden drum with two wooden drumsticks of uneven length.  The other gear wells, 1857. A small knife, 15 cm in length, blade is 6 cm in length, sculpted from a single piece of bone belonging to a human child. Symbols of unknown meaning have been carved into the handle. Mocket Kazakhstan, 1903 A flute made from the hollered up femur of a human child. Holes have been bored at uneven intervals along its length. The femur appears to have been dyed with human blood. Bangor, Michigan, 1960 A wooden box containing 13 miniature human-like figurines, each 4-6 cm in height. Made from the phalangeal bones of human children, tied together with strips of human tendon. The figurines have been decorated with human hair and small pieces of torn clothing. DNA testing revealed that the remains belong to 18 separate children.  Layers of skin are held in place with pine resin. Bard, Netherlands, 2006 A hairbrush. The handle is made of wood and poorly carved. In place of bristles, 43 deciduous human teeth have been set at irregular intervals into the handle. DNA testing revealed that each tooth belongs to a different child. Only two of the teeth could be matched at known abduction victims of SCP-4666. Teeth vary in age from a few days to over 400 years. Discovery SCP-4666's existence and ongoing activity were first detected in 1974 through the Foundation's newly implemented anomalous signature recognition program, when several highly similar home invasion incidents resulting in family deaths were found to have occurred throughout the Northern Hemisphere during the night of January 1st to the 2nd. Also known as ASRP, this program marked the Foundation's first use of algorithms as a means of detecting anomalous phenomena. Extensive research into civilian and law enforcement archives worldwide eventually uncovered evidence of probable Weissnacht events for nearly every preceding year, going back to the late 18th century, average of 3.1 note events per year. Numerous historical documents were also found, which appear to describe SCP-4666 activity occurring prior to this period. In some cases as early as the 2nd century AD in Europe and Russia, and as early as the 1st century BC in Scandinavia. Fingerprints belonging to the same humanoid entity have been discovered at the locations of all Foundation-investigated Weissnacht events. These have been matched to a partial fingerprint found preserved in dried blood on a recovered SCP-4666A instance, dating from 1873. The fingerprints present characteristics not known to occur in human beings. See the image. Human-like white hairs were also recovered from the locations of several Weissnacht events. Several DNA, human or otherwise, could be extracted from them. Addendum 4666-01 On January 2, 2018, several SCP-4666A instances were discovered at a family's residence in Huna, Alaska, following the conclusion of Weissnacht event number 060198. Using these instances with SCP-4666A-0960, which consisted of a crude, life-sized doll made from the emaciated body of a female child, to which the following modifications had been made. A dress made from various pieces of dirty, discolored clothing had been sewn around the body and in several places into the body's skin.  The fingernails of another child had been glued over the body's fingernails with pine resin. These had been painted red with the same human blood-based solution. Three of the body's fingers were missing. The entire scalp had been removed from the head, and the scalp of another child with long, blonde hair sewn onto the head in its place. The hair had been tied into two braids. Both eyes had been removed, and two large round pebbles on which eyes had been crudely painted placed into the empty orbits. Upon examination by the family, the child from whom the doll had been made was found to be still alive, albeit unconscious. Authorities were notified, and the child was airlifted to Bartlett Regional Hospital in Geno, Alaska, where she survived for 18 hours. Two Foundation agents were dispatched, and were able to interview the subject. See interview logged below. Following the subject's death, her body was confiscated by the agents, and all witnesses amnesticized as per standard procedure. DNA testing revealed the subject had been Ekaterina Morozova, age 7, a known abduction victim of SCP-4666, taken from her family's residence in Dubovka, Russia, on January 22, 2016. Autopsy of the subject's body showed she had been severely malnourished during the two years following her abduction, which had resulted in considerable stunting. Weight was only 15 kg, height was only 90 cm. A number of scars and burns were present on her skin, and she had suffered two bone fractures, left tibia and left ulna, that had not been reset and unhealed improperly. Witnesses were heavily calloused. Cause of death was attributed to multiple organ failure, resulting from severe sustained malnourishment. Document 4666-V35814, Interview Log Audio Log 4666-06201 Date? January 2, 2018 Time? 2327 Alaska Standard Time The 2349 Alaska Standard Time Bartlett Regional Hospital, Juneau, Alaska Interviewers, Agent Antoni Kowalczyk, Agent Susan Mewes attending Subject, Ekaterina Morozova, SCP-4666-A-0960, Female, age 7 Notes, the subject regained consciousness for a period of roughly 30 minutes prior to expiring, during which she was interviewed. Several staff had previously removed the thread that had been sewn into her lips, allowing her to speak. Despite having been administered a morphine drip, the subject was largely coherent throughout the interview. The subject did not understand English, and initially spoke only a language that was unfamiliar to Agent Kowalczyk and Mewes. Recordings of this interview are currently being studied by the Department of Linguistics, as the language spoken by the subject would later found to match no known language, living or dead. The only indications are that it might be related to pre-proto-dramatic. Began log. Hello, I'm Antoni. What's your name? Are you going to take me back to him? No, I promise. I'm just here to talk to you. I don't want to go back. You don't have to. You're safe now, Mishka. Can you tell me what happened to you? Do you remember the night he came to your house? I remember. He hurt Mama and Papa and Katia and Juliana for a long time, and they were bleeding. After they stopped screaming, he put me in his bag. His bag? He had a big bag. Other children were in the bag too. I think we go to other houses. I hear people screaming outside the bag during the night. Each house he put another child in the bag. Then after the night, he takes us away. Where did he take you? Underground. Deep. Underground. You mean in a basement? Everything earth and mud and ice bones everywhere. Everything cold. I can't sleep because it's too cold. Were there lots of other children there with you? Lots of children. Lots of tunnels, lots of holes, but I can't see all. I can't see the other. Too dark. My hole is with Renee and Hekla and Saja and Paul. We make the toys together. The toys? If you don't make the toys, you don't eat. Don't stop making the toys. Don't fall asleep or he hurt you. He hurt you? How?  He ate Philippine Sally. What about you? How did this happen to you? Did he do this? Renee and Hekla and Saja and Paul do this. They have to. Why? I get sick.

Game log Item number SCP-1933 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-1933 is to be kept in a standard low-security cell equipped with basic furnishings. It is to be provided with two liters of Irish whiskey, 500 ml of double cream, no less than 48% fat content, 25 grams of powdered sugar, and 20 ml of refined vegetable oil on a daily basis. As SCP-1933 is unwilling to engage in basic hygiene, it is to be forcibly stripped and showered by level 3 personnel on a weekly basis, and its beard shaved and nails clipped on a monthly basis. Its soiled clothing is to be considered highly flammable, and is to be incinerated as a fire hazard. Description SCP-1933 is an obese, middle-aged Caucasian male in a constant state of moderate to severe alcohol intoxication. SCP-1933's bodily fluids, including both intracellular and extracellular fluids, consist entirely of a substance identical in composition to the alcoholic beverage known as Irish cream. This substance adequately fulfills the functions of the fluids it replaces in SCP-1933's tissues. Despite the fact that it renders normal biochemical process essential to life impossible. Foundation scientists have been unable to determine how it manages this. SCP-1933 subsists on a diet of cream, Irish whiskey, sugar, and refined vegetable oil, the basic ingredients of most commercially produced varieties of Irish cream. It prefers to supplement its diet with small amounts of various herbs and flavorings, usually coffee, but these are not essential to its survival. It is incapable of digesting anything that is not a standard ingredient of Irish cream, including Irish cream which has been prepared beforehand. SCP-1933 will display effects consistent with acute malnutrition if its blood alcohol content significantly falls below or exceeds the range of 15-20%, the typical ABV of Irish cream. SCP-1933's bodily fluids are safe for human consumption if intake is limited to 25 milliliter less within 24 hours. If a subject exceeds its limit, there is a significant risk that all of their bodily fluids will be transformed into Irish cream. This substance does not fulfill the function of the fluids it replaces, as it does in SCP-1933. As such, it is instantly fatal. The probability that a subject's bodily fluids will be transformed into Irish cream increases by approximately 5% for each additional milliliter of SCP-1933's bodily fluids consumed. It is not known that the bodily fluids of SCP-1933's victims would have the same anomalous effects as SCP-1933's bodily fluids if they were to be consumed. Prior to containment, SCP-1933 was chronically homeless, sleeping either on the street or in derelict buildings, wearing a Santa Claus suit at all times, stealing money with which to purchase the specific items of food and drink necessary for its survival, and collecting its bodily fluids in bottles. It would attempt to break into people's homes between 2300-24-Christmas Eve and 0500-25-Christmas Day, and place crudely wrapped bottles of its bodily fluids alongside other wrapped presents, with the intention that they would later be unwrapped and subsequently consumed. SCP-1933 claims that this activity was motivated by a benevolent desire to give people presents, and refuses to acknowledge that its bodily fluids are fatal if consumed in large quantities. It has not been determined whether it is genuinely unaware and unwilling to accept that this is the case, or whether it is trying to conceal malicious intentions. However, the general consensus among Foundation staff who have studied SCP-1933 is that the former is more likely. Item number SCP-251 Object Class Euclid Special Container Procedures SCP-251 is to be kept in a locked container at all times. No one is to enter the container alone. If anyone is found to have been left alone in the container for any amount of time, they are to be treated as violently hostile and terminated with extreme prejudice. The container is to be guarded by armed personnel at all times, and guards should never allow anyone, regardless of clearance level, to move the artifact or to be alone with it. Sounds of screaming, gunfire, and fliers will be heard from within the container. This is normal. Description Origin Unknown SCP-251 consistently appears to be a small snow globe. Attached to the series of photographs taken of the same artifact over time, this indicates that the snow globe is at least partially animate. However, when viewed directly by multiple people, there is no apparent movement except by a perpetual blizzard. SCP-251 has not been moved in its arrival at Site-19, but the snowflakes have never ceased falling. The scenes depicted in SCP-251 are all extremely violent or morbid, occasionally depicting something fantastical while mostly depicting more realistic brutality. All those who have been alone with SCP-251 for any amount of time have later displayed extreme violence, xenophobia, and emotional distress. Item number SCP-3799 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures No access to Crozier Island is permitted for either staff or civilians. The Foundation currently enforces a no-fly zone around Crozier Island, and several Foundation craft patrol the perimeter for any unwanted intruders. Any unauthorized personnel, be they civilian or staff attempting to enter are to be issued with the appropriate amnestics to erase any unusual knowledge or interest in SCP-3799. Description SCP-3799 is a perfect spear composed entirely of snow and with a circumference of exactly 6 meters. SCP-3799 is suspended without visible means of support at a height of 500 meters above Crozier Island, Greenland. Crozier Island is the location of Site-799, a site devoted to experimental research. Containment within SCP-3799 is SCP-3799-1, the corpse of an adult male human wearing what appears to be an unknown variant of a Foundation uniform. SCP-3799-1's right arm protrudes out of SCP-3799, and was formally holding a number of documents which have since been recovered. The cause of death of SCP-3799-1 is believed to have been from blood loss. Apparently the result of self-inflicted wounds to the wrists. Scans of SCP-3799 show that it possesses an abnormally low hume field. Attempts to penetrate or harm SCP-3799 or SCP-3799-1 have all resulted in failure. SCP-3799 first appeared on December 24, 1987, during an experiment in Site-799, forming part of Project ██. The following documents are those recovered from SCP-3799-1. They are apparently five iterations of the file for SCP-3799, although no such iterations have ever been found in the Foundation's database. Because of the sensitive information contained in these documents, their contents are restricted to the O5 Council and specifically authorized personnel only. The information contained within these documents has caused Project mid-winter to be immediately discontinued, and the present containment measures to be implemented. Document 3799-1 Item ██, SCP-3799 Object Class, Euclid Special Containment Procedures No access to Crozier Island is permitted for either staff or civilians, with the exception of the research team at Site-799. Several Foundation craft are to patrol the perimeter for any unwanted intruders. Any unauthorized personnel, be they civilian or staff attempting to enter Crozier Island are to be issued with the appropriate amnestics to erase any unusual knowledge or interest in SCP-3799. All members of the research team at Site-799 are to remain within Site-799. All food and other necessary supplies are to be delivered to them remotely. Members of the research team are only to be allowed to remain on site for two months in any one stretch, and must take a holiday of at least one month in an area with low precipitation before being allowed to return to active duty. Any personnel exhibiting cognitive symptoms thought to originate from prolonged exposure to SCP-3799-1 are to be quarantined and removed from Site-799 immediately. Description SCP-3799 is a meteorological phenomenon affecting Crozier Island, Greenland. The island and an area stretching 0.5 km away from it are perpetually undergoing precipitation of a substance identical to snow on a molecular level, but which displays significant anomalous properties. This substance is known as SCP-3799-1. SCP-3799-1 contains a significant cognitive hatter's effect to individuals in the immediate vicinity of large quantities of SCP-3799-1, or who observe SCP-3799-1 for long periods of time. The cognitive hatter causes the affected subjects to develop an obsessive interest in the substance, apparently attributing to it feelings of intense joy, contentment, and enlightenment. There is currently no known way to counteract these effects. The effect does not fade over time, and in some subjects appears to have intensified. Research into a cure is ongoing. SCP-3799 first appeared on December 24, 1987, during an experiment in Site-799, forming part of Project ████████. Fourteen people were affected by SCP-3799-1 before a workable containment procedure for implemented. Currently, Site-799 is to be used only for research on the SCP-3799, as well as possible ways to counter its effects. The current project lead is Dr. Simon Kells, a specialist in cognitive hattertors anomalies. Addendum 3799-1 On February 8, 1991, researchers at Site-799 reported that three personnel had gone missing since the events of December 24, 1987. It should be noted that the area of SCP-3799's effect has increased by three meters since that time. Document 3799-2 Item number SCP-3799 Scientific class Keeter Special Containment Procedures Site-799 is to be evacuated as soon as possible, as there is no known way to prevent SCP-3799 and SCP-3799-1 as apparently impermeable. Effective containment is presently impossible. Foundation vessels are to patrol around SCP-3799's area of effect at a distance of three kilometers. One personnel involved in the evacuation of Site-799, no personnel are to be allowed access to SCP-3799's area of effect. All members of the research team at Site-799 are to remain within Site-799. They are not to leave under any circumstances prior to the evacuation. Food and other necessary supplies are to be delivered to them remotely. Any personnel exhibiting cognitive hattertors symptoms thought to originate from prolonged exposure to SCP-3799-1 are to be quarantined immediately. Several samples of SCP-3799-1 have been taken to Site-3150. Personnel are not to make direct skin contact with SCP-3799-1. All personnel must wear standard-issued hazmat suits if they wish to perform experiments involving SCP-3799-1. Description SCP-3799 is a meteorological phenomenon affecting an area of approximately six kilometers squared centered around Crozier Island, Greenland. This area is perpetually undergoing precipitation of a substance identical to snow on a molecular level but which displays significant anomalous properties. This substance is known as SCP-3799-1. SCP-3799-1 contains a significant cognitive hattertors effect to individuals in the immediate vicinity of large quantities of SCP-3799-1, or who observe SCP-3799-1 for long periods of time. The cognitive hattert causes the affected subjects to develop an obsessive interest in the substance, apparently attributing to it feelings of intense joy, contentment, and enlightenment. This leads to an eventual belief that activating SCP-3799-1's corrosive properties, see below, will result in a form of transcendence, or a destruction of lower functions. The meaning of these statements is rather ambiguous and vague, with affected subjects unwilling to discuss them further. There is currently no known way to counteract these effects. The effect does not fade over time, but rather intensifies in all subjects' overextended period. Research into a cure is ongoing, but it has been found that inflicting extreme pain and or blood loss does have a delaying effect on the intensification of the cognitohazard. SCP-3799-1 possesses a corrosive property if it comes into contact with human cadavers. It gradually converts the cadaver into SCP-3799-1 by altering the subject on a molecular level. Subjects affected by SCP-3799-1's effects will feel compelled to immerse themselves in SCP-3799-1 within 48 hours of first developing symptoms, in order to expire through hypothermia and thus activate its effects. SCP-3799 first appeared on December 24, 1928, prompting the conversion of the long-abandoned Site-799 into a dedicated site for researching SCP-3799. SCP-3799's area of effect initially increased at a rate of 1 meter squared for every individual who expired due to contact with SCP-3799-1, but since 1952 it has been increasing at a rate of 1 kilometer per expiration. Due to discrepancies in the documentation pertaining to Site-799, it is believed that, currently, Site-799 is to be used only for research on the SCP-3799, as well as possible ways to counter its effects. The current project lead is Dr. Simon Kells, a specialist in cognitohazardous anomalies. Addendum 3799-1 As of September 23, 2017, SCP-3799's area of effect appears to be increasing without a need for further human matter. The anomaly has been reclassified as catered. Document 3799-3 Item Number Snow Object Class Peer and Free Special Containment Procedures In the spring there is dew and water and little biting crawlers oozing from the small places to feed and bite and eat. In the summer there is sweat and roots and grass and seething things, the sun burning and melting the living down below, matter drying and dying. In the autumn there is death and rot, the leaves and trees and plants decaying. The trees collapse and the fruits bursting, pustules bleeding their sustenance into the banged starving hordes below. In the winter there is only purity, the world is frozen, its forms filled and made whole. Snow must not contain the others, it must change, it must alter, it must make pure. Description You cannot see the snow, can you? Not really, you just see it as a bunch of frozen ice crystals, crystal and structures made through a combination of molecules on molecules, which settle on the tops of houses and on the tops of trees, but those of us here at Site 799 know better. Site 799 knows that the snow is something more. The snow is pure, the snow is perfect. Look at that blizzard up at the top of the page, examine it, there is no blood on it, no mire, it is a perfect combination of light and crystal, reflections over reflections over reflections. Look at what it does to the buildings, to the pylon, there are differences in failing smooth over, replaced by more whole variants, the world is run by symmetry. Humans are not pure, we are composed of fetid clay and seething blood, born of mire, flowing with mud and grit through our fleshy veins, pieces of frail tissue expanding and contracting and viscous ecstasy, constantly swinging between extremes of pain and pleasure. We are complexities whose beauty is buried under layers of worn matter, frail pieces of impure skin strung together with bone and ligaments. The last of us are holed up in here, we tried to resist, but it was pointless, and I see now that there was no point. We can step into the snow, we can see the light as it should have been. Our higher functions will be given to it, our baser forms will be reused as fuel, substance, matter. We shall be reborn as light and sound, a golden bird upon a bow. The eightfold walls of Timur's tomb, representing perfect cosmic order, not made of sand and stone and cobalt, but of the intangible shapes and color of higher forms. Snow is perfection, snow is a rejection of life and all of its excuses and petty reasoning. Snow is true and objective and unconcerned. It's time now, to walk into the fields of white and into my destiny. I am the last one. I resisted this nirvana, and like a bodhisattva I stay behind to instruct others. Come, all you who labor and are heavy burdened, feed it and remove the need for feeding. I am going outside now, it may be some time. Document 3799-4 Item number SCF-3799 Object Class Blizzard Special Containment Procedures SCF-3799 is currently uncontainable. The primary purpose of the Snow Containment Foundation is to prevent SCF-3799 from expanding further and to find a method of neutralization. To that end, a total of 54 sites spread across all three SCF-administered zones, Tibet, Uyghuristan, and Davistan, have been established to perform research related to SCF-3799. Description SCF-3799 is a blizzard which presently covers 28% of the world's surface. This blizzard is composed of a form of snow known as SCF-3799-1. SCF-3799-1 contains a significant cognitohatterd's effect in individuals exposed to it. Exposure is defined as being in the vicinity of large quantities of SCF-3799-1, or observing SCF-3799-1 for long periods of time. The cognitohatterd causes the affected subjects to develop a religious interest in SCF-3799-1, eventually worshipping it as the violently bestowed matter which will allow the individual to transcend earthly bonds. The only known way to counteract this cognitohatterd's effect is through the infliction of severe pain or extreme blood loss. However, these techniques only cause a delaying effect and can never entirely erase the cognitohatterd. SCF-3799-1 possesses a corrosive property if it comes into contact with human cadavers. It gradually converts the cadaver into SCF-3799-1 by altering the subject on a molecular level. Subjects affected by SCF-3799-1's cognitohatterd's effects, usually within 48 hours of first displaying symptoms of cognitohatterd's infection, feel compelled to immerse themselves in SCF-3799-1, displaying great enthusiasm about expiring from hypothermia and activating SCF-3799-1's effects. The source of SCF-3799 is unknown. The date of SCF-3799's initial manifestation is unknown, but it is believed to have occurred well before the evolution of modern humans. It is believed that the origin of SCF-3799 was located on the World Island, located off the northwestern coast of the Danish colony of Iricsland. Owing to its particular religious significance to cultures across the globe, the World Island is not claimed by any governmental bodyist territory. Until 1950, the SCF-799 was established on the World Island, with the purposes of studying and containing SCF-3799. It is unknown when or why SCF-799 was originally established, but it is believed to have existed well before extant records began in 1802. As is common knowledge, SCF-3799 is the focal point for the vast majority of the world's religions, particularly Aspiratity and the culture of the White Prophet. Knowledge of SCF-3799 is public, and large numbers of religious groups have been sacrificing individuals to SCF-3799 since time immemorial. As is commonly known, virtually all political and economic developments in human history have been centered around SCF-3799 and ways to best provide enough fuel for its continued growth. Despite often contradictory evidence, it is believed that SCF-3799 has significantly altered the timeline of human history. This is due to several unexplained elements of world history, including but not limited to the lack of any cultural exchange between the indigenous peoples of the Americas and those of Afro-Eurasia, despite many centuries of both groups visiting the World Island for religious purposes. The continued existence of the Davite civilization, despite ample documentation describing its downfall, it is believed that SCF-3799's anomalous effects help mitigate the strength of the Davite's potential rivals. The tribes of Croatia in particular are known to have had their manpower depleted many times by sacrifices to SCF-3799. Why Site-799 is named thus, despite it being the oldest SCF-based by many centuries. The existence of the 33 anomalies currently contained by the Snow Containment Foundation, despite the containment of SCF-3799 having always been its sole mission. The existence of the Snow Containment Foundation itself, as there are no records of any individuals opposed to SCF-3799's existence, or who have demonstrated anything other than total devotion to SCF-3799. Several documents refer to an SCP Foundation, despite no such organization ever having existed. The continued existence of the human race, given the number of individuals thought to have expired within SCF-3799 over the last 5,000 years. It is believed that the Snow Containment Foundation's files on SCF-3799 have been tampered with multiple times due to individuals affected by SCF-3799-1. I'd end them 3799-1. On June 14, 2017, Snow Containment Foundation researchers detected a large energy signature from a point exactly 500 meters above the former Site-799. Because of the apparent changes in the timeline caused by SCF-3799, it is theorized that I'd end them 3799-2. Why are we even trying? It's at the 44% now, and it's only been a few weeks. How did this thing start? When did it start? What are we even still doing alive? Maybe we should just give up, walk outside, freeze ourselves. Maybe that is our only purpose, to become fuel. I'd end them 3799-3. I don't think there are many of us left. There's only Site-112 and Site-3150 now. One of those houses is small aircraft, and the other one is where I am, and everyone else here is walked outside. I don't understand what I'm reading. I don't know what any of these people and civilizations are. The human race has been contained within the sites forever. That's all there's ever been, the Snowfall and the Foundation. What does this all mean? Document 3799-5 This was the final document recovered from SCP-3799-1. Based on the contents, it is believed to have been written by SCP-3799-1 herself during the final hours of his life. Item number f**ked if I can remember. Object class, a Polyeon or Blizzard or white. I don't even know anymore. Special Container Procedures. We're trying to stop it, and we think we know how. Description So it won't starting stop. We tried everything. We tried sacrifice and ritual, and setting things on it and they all died. We got nothing left, but we worked it out in the end, and now I am on no way to fix it. There's this point that's miles and miles up, and it's where this comes from. It's got some weird timeshit in it.  It's an idea. An idea that made us eating up the present and the past and everything. Changing it. Changing history.   We made it. They were trying to get rid of all the anomalies that ever were, to stop the world dying a new death every other day. Have some quiet days back, but it didn't work. This is what Kells did. All that time we turned a blind eye to him. They wanted a world where they didn't have to work for their supper. They wanted purity, and they got purity.   All I know is that it didn't work. Because that's not what life is.  The scent of wheat and fields back home. Life. This thing isn't life. This thing is free of our useless imperfections.  It can't write a poem, because it thinks art is all imagery and airy fairy fuckery. Art is life. Shakespeare grew hot for fuck's sakes.  And this thing wants to take all that and chop it up and make it into a bunch of straight lines and calculus.  I'm going into it. Into its source. Where it first came from. I'm going to bleed myself into its belly and stopping from having ever worked.  Blood. Life stuff. Full of fuel and waste. It'll hate that. It hates blood and mire. It won't be able to cope.  This is my last testament. I've got all the copies of this thing. All the iterations gathered up. I reached into the archives, into the places where the snow hadn't done its job properly, and took these ghosts. These voices of what once was, and now never was. I'll take them with me. And if I survive the CK class shit, maybe someone will find them. The world that was. The world of those fuckers created. Remember us. Item number SCP-649 Object Class Safe Special Container Procedures SCP-649 is to be kept closed in a standard containment locker, located within Site-77. It should not be open unless testing is being performed. SCP-649 is not to be moved from its containment chamber unless testing is being performed. In case of containment failure, heating implements should be placed in the cell to inhibit SCP-649's effect. Description SCP-649 is a diamond brand matchbox, containing standard 32 match count. It has a mark on the underside of the box, resembling a snowflake. However SCP-649 is left open for more than 15 minutes, or one of its matches is struck, as anomalous properties will manifest. Note that striking a match does not light it, or appear to alter it in any way. The area SCP-649 is held in will experience a sudden decrease in temperature, followed by strong winds. These winds will still develop as the item is indoors. When the temperature in the area SCP-649 inhabits reaches 0°C, SCP-649 will begin to exude large amounts of snow and sleet in a manner similar to SCP-2082. In addition, SCP-649's area of effect will rapidly increase to a radius of 1 km. The sleet and snow will be continuously produced by SCP-649 until the entire radius is covered by snowfall at least 3 meters deep, with a temperature below negative 30°C. SCP-649's area of effect will expand at a rate of 15 meters an hour continuously. In addition, tundra-like conditions will develop near the epicenter of SCP-649's effect, expanding at the same rate. The temperature within SCP-649's radius will stay at a constant negative 45°C. This effect will continue indefinitely, with the only known means of halting the expansion of the area of effect being to close SCP-649's lid. SCP-649 was discovered on April 19, 1987, from ████ West Virginia. Reports had reached Foundation operatives indicating that the town was experiencing blizzard conditions, which prompted investigation. SCP-649 was found in the center of the town, within a cemetery. These were able to contain SCP-649 on June 16, 1987, classifying it as Euclid. Amnestics were dispersed to local citizens, and a cover story blaming the incident on global warming disseminated. Addendum 649A SCP-649 was left open for approximately 1 hour and 48 minutes. After 1 hour and 45 minutes, children's laughing could be heard, and a snowball hit Dr. Pena. All weds of small forms could be seen through the fog. Three D-Class personnel were sent to investigate. When they did not return after an additional 20 minutes, SCP-649 was closed and containment protocol initiated. The D-Class personnel had not been recovered. When the tape was replayed, one of the D-Class could be seen led by small figures through the walls of the test chamber. Records on the missing personnel indicate all three, one male, two female, had had children who had died before adolescents. All testing with such personnel has been suspended.


Welcome to JSA TV live coming to you today from the floor of data cloud global Congress here in Monte Carlo in Monaco, and I'm Barb Mitchell joining you from JSA and joining me is Kim Gunaile as Managing director newly appointed managing director for verin global welcome. It's great to see you again. Oh Thank you very much. Great to be here Barb Nice to be interviewed on different Locations around the world. Yes, and we always we I think we follow you around the world So it's nice. It's a pleasure. Since last we spoke you've taken on a new role as managing director. Tell us about that That's correct. So I'm now running verin global's operations in Finland So last year we sold Ficcolo, which has now been rebranded to verin global. We have Date centers in Iceland and London as well as the Finnish operations that are now running So congratulations. So you're Responsibly much growing bigger and bigger and you're expanding and there's been you know, so much success that we've been able to watch you with and and so I'm curious just to sort of jump right into one of our topics today I think we wanted to talk about with the increasing adoption of things like AI and Performance computing and people are really wanting to find environmental ways to manage these massive workloads that that come from this Talk about that and you sort of your thoughts on that Sure, that's that's really a hot topic for us now. So first of all the Amounts of the data keep growing. They're really huge and for us in Finland We've had a little bit of success in that area but now with the kind of the bigger group we're able to Access shall we say bigger opportunities? So I think there's these huge cases out there that are looking for where to deploy and when People are thinking about where to put the big workloads the Nordics come to mind because of the good access of the green energy and As well as the climate so you need less power for cooling. So it's a really great place to to take your workloads Yeah, well and on that topic I Think you maybe had another thought there so we can come back to it But I wanted to just made me think of you know, and I think I believe correct myth I'm wrong here, but that Finland by 2030 will represent 10% of the EU's green hydrogen energy. Is that correct? That's a stated target. Yes. Yes, and that's a really ambitious target because it's just getting started and The things that are driving the green hydrogen are The big amounts of wind power coming online So last year was the biggest year yet for wind power increasing in Finland and it's gonna continue to grow and The challenge of course with wind power is that it's intermittent. So it's not It's not always windy So that's where the green hydrogen comes in. So The green hydrogen is able to exploit the power, you know when it's windy and kind of store it The other option would be batteries But green hydrogen is good there and then on the green hydrogen side There's a lot of other stuff happening in the whole ecosystem. So it's really starting to become viable now and Finland is super well positioned to exploit that over time. Yeah, you've You've been ahead of the curve for a while, haven't you? I know that I Like to drop in our conversations how you're a best-selling author that you were part of greener data that launched last year and we're working on round two, I believe but You know, I think sustainability has always been at the core of your message and and what you You know what you stand for and With good reason. Absolutely so We've been certified climate neutral already for several years. So That means that we're we're kind of way ahead of the pack where you've got these other Companies doing packs and thinking about how to get there. We're already there. So what we like to think about is how can you be carbon-negative even and Bring in, you know, work on the ecosystem on being more sustainable Bring in all of the employees to think about what we could do to be more sustainable and things like that and You know from from the perspective of a data center, you can't really find a more sustainable location than the Nordics With with the access to the green power is mentioned, right? So what else what's what's next on the horizon for you? I mean, it's sort of feels like one thing after another but what's next yeah So if we talk about Finland specifically We have been working a lot with three different segments enterprise Hyperscale as well as high-performance computing and now Learning a little bit shall we say from from Iceland where they've got quite a lot of success with high-performance computing and talking to for instance financial sector about those Opportunities that's where I think We're gonna go and what we're gonna do is Look at growth within Finland. So look at look at new sites But very global of course is looking more at becoming a leader in the Nordics. So so Expanding in Finland will be an integral part of that, right? Great. Well, we look forward to to hearing more and you know, I think of we're Still have quite a bit of this week left So for those people that are watching this live and may want to connect with you How can they reach you or if they've missed you, you know this week? How can they they find you after this event is over? Sure. So go to vernglobal.com. There's also a section for Finland Finland dot vernglobal.com. So They can find you there. Yep, and we'll see you again I think in another country in a couple of weeks and we'll probably talk again It's always a pleasure to catch up with you. Thank you and congratulations again And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV live today coming to you from data cloud global Congress in Monaco until next time
