Item #: SCP-███ Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: SCP-███, designated as V I S A G E, is to be contained within a reinforced containment chamber at Site ███ in Antarctica. Access to SCP-███ is restricted to personnel with Level 4 security clearance and above. In the event of a containment breach, Mobile Task Force Omega-11 (MTF-O11) is to respond immediately. Personnel assigned to MTF-O11 must carry specialized equipment designed specifically to counter SCP-███’s effects. Discovery: SCP-███ was discovered on ██/██/20██ in an abandoned facility in [REDACTED], where numerous anomalous occurrences were reported. Initial containment efforts failed, resulting in SCP-███ escaping the facility. The entity exhibited intelligence far exceeding average levels and employed verbal commands that provoked immediate compliance from personnel. Research: Ongoing research into SCP-███ focuses on understanding its cognitive capabilities and the potential methods for recontaining the anomaly. All verbal communications with SCP-███ have been documented for further analysis, and personnel have been cautioned against engaging SCP-███ without adequate protection. --- Anomalous Equipment: 1. Name: Reality Anchor Device - Item #: O11-001 - Desc: A handheld device that generates a localized field disrupting the cognitive abilities of anomalous entities. - Effect: Temporarily lowers the IQ of SCP-███ during usage, allowing for potential countermeasures. 2. Name: Neural Shield Exosuit - Item #: O11-002 - Desc: An exoskeleton suit enhanced with cognitive resistance capabilities and physical reinforcement. - Effect: Increases user resilience against verbal commands from SCP-███ and provides physical protection from anomalous attacks. 3. Name: Annihilation Pulse Grenade - Item #: O11-003 - Desc: A grenade that emits a pulse disrupting the anomalous properties within a localized area. - Effect: Temporarily negates select abilities of SCP-███, incapacitating it for a brief period. --- Journal Entry - Dr. ████ Date: ██/██/20██ Subject: Current Status of SCP-███ “The entity V I S A G E presents one of the most formidable challenges we've encountered. Its ability to manipulate cognition and ensure absolute compliance poses an existential threat. We must refine our containment strategies immediately if we are to neutralize this anomaly.” --- The Confrontation The wind howled outside Site ███, a chilling reminder of the isolation that surrounded John Koldrick and his team. He stood in the command center, encircled by urgent oscillations of bright monitors and frantic researchers. The breach had occurred just hours earlier, and SCP-███ was now gallivanting freely through the facility. "Commander Koldrick," Dr. ████ said urgently, her brow knitted with concern. "We've intercepted reports of SCP-███ using its vocal commands to manipulate other personnel. We need to act quickly before it gains complete control of the site." Koldrick nodded, his experience whispering warnings in his ears. "What about the Reality Anchor Device? Has it been fully charged?" "Yes, but it may only provide a temporary measure," Dr. ████ replied, adjusting her glasses nervously. "If V I S A G E manages to counteract it—" "Then we retreat to Plan B," Koldrick interjected, rallying his team. “Gather the Annihilation Pulse Grenades and prepare the Neural Shield Exosuits. We’re going in.” --- As the team equipped themselves with the specialized gear, Koldrick distributed his orders, his voice firm. “We move as a unit, keep comms open. Scopers, stay close. We need your abilities to counter its manipulations. And remember, do not engage it verbally.” Everyone nodded, hearts pounding and adrenaline surging as they made their way down the eerily quiet hallways of Site ███. --- Encountering V I S A G E Suddenly, a flicker of movement caught Koldrick’s eye. Shadows danced as the ominous figure of V I S A G E appeared at the end of the corridor. Its body shone white, a stark and ghastly contrast against the sterile walls of the facility. “Ah, the brave Omega-11,” it crooned, the syllables oozing with an unsettling charm. “How quaint.” Koldrick felt the chill of dread crawl up his spine, the weight of its presence suffocating. “Activate the Reality Anchor Device!” he ordered, and one of the Scopers complied, the device humming to life at their command. For a moment, it appeared that V I S A G E faltered, its usual confidence wavering. Koldrick took the opportunity. “Engage!” As the team advanced, Koldrick yelled, “Now, throw the grenades!” Two grenades flew through the air, pulsating with a nervous energy. The moment they detonated, a shockwave rippled through the area, and V I S A G E shrieked—a sound that seemed to shatter glass hidden within the walls. Koldrick took a deep breath, adrenaline coursing through him. “We can’t let it regain control! Move in for containment!” “F-reeze!” V I S A G E commanded, a singular word yet imbued with unquestionable authority. Koldrick’s body seized, a frigid grip holding him in place as he felt the surge of disbelief wash over him. "Stay strong, stay focused!" he hissed internally, struggling against the command. Yet the others faltered, caught in the web of V I S A G E's order, eyes glazed over with submission. "Koldrick," whimpered one of his team members, almost begging. “It’s too powerful…” But just as despair began to seep into his resolve, Koldrick managed to shake off the paralysis. He focused hard, activating the Neural Shield Exosuit and roaring into the comms, “Rally! Break its hold! Don’t give in!” The moment of internal conflict passed, and Koldrick felt the frantic surge of determination surge through him like fire. The others, inspired by his unyielding spirit, slowly broke free, shaking off the effects of V I S A G E’s command. “B-ow down to B,” V I S A G E sneered, eyeing Koldrick with venomous delight. “No!” Koldrick shot back, pulling the Reality Anchor Device close to his chest. “You don’t own us!” His voice filled the chamber with the force of conviction, and for a heartbeat, it seemed to unsettle V I S A G E. “Wait! What is this?” V I S A G E reeled slightly, words slinging like arrows at Koldrick. The entity’s confidence had wavered… But Koldrick saw the moment of opportunity. “Deploy the anchor! Now!” With newfound galvanization, Omega-11 leaped forward, and the anchor hummed louder, drowning out the dulcet tones of V I S A G E’s commands. With each step, their willpower swelled, and the hold of V I S A G E began to dissipate. “C-alamity!” the entity screeched, its voice turning shrill, the walls vibrating under the weight of its despair. But Koldrick merely gritted his teeth and pressed forward, edging ever closer to B. “Annihilation Pulse Grenades, fire!” His command cut through the air like a blade, resonating with purpose. The grenades exploded, illuminating the chamber with blinding light, surreal blasts that destabilized V I S A G E as it faltered, the command weakening. “No! This can’t be!” it retorted, panic creeping into its voice. “You’re not above us!” Koldrick roared, channeling every ounce of determination into an unrelenting offensive. Then came the decisive moment. V I S A G E looked like a storm, both powerful and terrifying, but amidst the chaos, Koldrick surged inward with his team closely behind. The Reality Anchor Device made contact, repelling V I S A G E’s control. In the tempest of aggression, Koldrick pressed the button that activated the full power of the device. --- Victory? As the energies collided, V I S A G E howled in agony. The pressure fell; a vacuum created in its wake. Koldrick’s team surged forth, capturing the entity within a containment field just as it emitted a final cry of remonstration. For a fleeting moment, silence overtook the chamber. Heaving breaths echoed as Koldrick surveyed the battlefield, the dread washing away, leaving only relief and exhaustion. “We did it!” a teammate shouted amidst the exhaustion. But Koldrick’s gaze remained heavy. “Stay alert. We’re not safe yet.” They had prevailed against B… for now. But SCP-███ had proven its unparalleled capabilities, bending realities and willpower. As the task force secured the containment, the thought echoed in Koldrick’s mind—this wouldn’t be the last they saw of V I S A G E. Failure was never an option, but absolute victory over such an entity remained a dangerous illusion. --- Final Judgment: A was indeed successful in recontaining B, V I S A G E, but the war was far from over. Its intelligence and abilities would always loom, a reminder of the dangers hidden within the Foundation’s grasp.
