Item #: SCP-022-PT

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-022-PT must be patrolled by personnel in the sector who carry GPS signal emitters, uniformed as agents of OSCIP or of the environmental police forces, to deal with the local rural population. The access route to SCP-022-PT must be blocked with the installation of an outpost, camouflaged with the flags of the ecological station and reserve present in the region. Personnel with academic involvement in the area of law should not be allocated to the containment area. Legal authorities in nearby towns must be kept even farther away, increasing by up to two kilometers the site's fencing, and redirected to alternative routes.

Description: SCP-022-PT is an unpaved road with no understood purpose. It is located in Pontal do Paranapanema, and its length is 3.6 kilometers. It is about three to five meters wide and its anomalous properties can only be activated if they are used by prosecutors or practicing lawyers.

After entering SCP-022-PT, regardless of the means of locomotion used, the individual goes through a phenomenon where the day gets dark, and when traveling along the way, they come across SCP-022-1-PT, registered as an inert wooden log fallen to the ground. The words “Guilty” and “Innocent” are carved inside a 10x15 cm concave, present in the middle of its structure. Below “innocent” there is a caricature of a fairy, and below “guilty” something unidentified, similar to a species of scarab containing an old parchment. Subjects also record the loss of eye contact with the entire team outside the trail. Personnel located on the outside of the trail claim not to witness any of the phenomena narrated by the user, but it is possible to maintain visual contact with those who are experiencing the anomalous effects within the route normally.

It is possible to view SCP-022-1-PT at night time, where it appears approximately 1.8 kilometers after the start of the path. This instance does not have a compartment or parchment, which suggests a study to confirm the authenticity of the nocturnal trunk, with the trunk visualized during the preposterous effects experienced by those who use SCP-022-PT.

Some unusual effects suggest that the user should always move on, an increase in episodic paroxysmal anxiety, fear, pupil dilation, excessive sweating and tachycardia were recorded. Upon arriving at SCP-022-1-PT, the subject, after a few minutes, disappears, and in some cases after an average of 24 to 36 hours, returns dead or unconscious by the trunk the following night. Medical forensics during the autopsy reveal that in cases of death, the death is caused by suffocation, and rope marks are identified on the victim's neck. Survivors report having no memory of the missing moment and no sequels were identified.

Addendum I/3 Manuscript

Manuscript

During one of the experiments, the subject copied most of the manuscript into a notebook before disappearing, leaving their notes behind. The material was retrieved from the site and taken to the Foundation for analysis. Attached is the prescribed content.

Peri was fisherman. During the day, performed his work masterfully, and his comrades said that his love for his children and the tribe was the main factor in the quality of his good work. All was quite prosperous, until the arrival of the white man, who carried with them the title of colonizers, but they were better known among our brothers as destroyers of nature and for their atrocities towards our people.

After the disappearance of several sisters, the chief of the tribe stipulated a sacred manuscript which forbade any cooperation or interaction of members of the tribe with these people. The chief feared to respond with violence, and that much blood would be spilled on mother earth's robes. He hoped the gaps in time would drive the white man away. Peri, as exemplary Indian, spied and studied the habits of the white man, knew where they ate, where they slept, set up schemes and schedules so that the tribe's hunters would not have direct contact with the invaders.

If there are gods, they were probably curious to see the knots these bonds would make, and during a rainy day Peri's youngest son fell victim to evil spirits. And not even the most powerful shaman could remove his illness. Peri was downcast, death visited him several times and Peri knew she was enticed to his son. No one in the world could judge Peri for what he did. During one night, Peri sought help from the colonizing sorcerers, and was given an [REDACTED] with instructions on how to use it on his son. Peri did not know that magic, how the sorcerer acted without using words or gestures? Even suspicious of the results, Peri thanked the invader and returned to the tribe, applying [REDACTED] on his son and going through the biggest and most difficult night of his life.

After four moons, Peri's wife found the [REDACTED] stored, hidden in the walls of her oca. She knew what that meant, breaking the law. Proud to be part of the tribe, she reported her husband to the chief of the tribe, who, even at a certain age, managed to control his feelings and called Peri to testify about what had happened. But Peri was nowhere to be found and his son had disappeared too. After a long sun, Peri appeared with a white man at the gates of the tribe, with his son walking, hand in hand, already in good health. No one is quite sure why, but perhaps the ire of the tribal chief was such that he ordered that a spear be thrown, seeking to take Peri's life. The hunter for some reason, despite his skillful ability, missed his target, hitting Peri's son in the chest, launching him into the arms of death almost instantly.

Peri then fell in tears at the feet of mother earth, and the white man followed him, doing a duet of great lamentation. The chief was touched by the tragic event, and gave Peri and the invader a chance for judgment. Peri, disconsolate, could no longer think of a reason to desire forgiveness and freedom. The white man who was with him worried, as he seemed to feel some affection for Peri. In light of his heart, the white man was given the opportunity to defend Peri. When he was informed that Peri's penalty, if guilty, was death and that according to the tribal laws the same penalty would be applied to the defender, the white man was taken by fear. But an incredible determination came into his eyes, for there he knew he would have to fight for his life, and for his supposed new friend.

We are in full contact with nature - so began the chief - as well as the fairies and forest spirits. We are in nature and nature is in us. But the Indian was given the gift of forgiveness through reasoning. The law applied to animals is not applied in the same way to those who hunt with both feet to the ground and produce tools with their hands. So begins here, the exercise of this treat.

It is estimated that at this point, the abduction phenomenon had begun, the letter in the subject's document became undecipherable, in a way that it appears that they didn't even attempt to write something readable. The document follows in scribbles for 52 lines, before becoming legible again only a few words into the footer.

Were present here, fairies, spirits, the white man who called himself “lawyer”, chief Teçá, and the crimes that weighed on the defendant at the mercy of the law of the tribe.

Addendum II/3 Manuscript Analysis

Analysis of the collected facts

Dr. Egret analyzed for three months the material collected during the experiment with the notebook. The search for historical records of a tribe so culturally advanced, with its own judicial system, was never identified. The lack of the colonists' names in the registry made the search for information even more difficult. But some analytical facts were highlighted during the studies:

• It is possible to deduce that the colonizers were already in the region for a considerable amount of time and in deep contact with the culture of the natives there, since, according to the manuscript, communication between them was possible during the narrated impasse;
• The use of [REDACTED] and the subject who declared himself a lawyer, makes it deductible that it was a large caravan, since it was carrying law enforcement agents and doctors.
• The linguistic norm used in the document calls into question: Would the narrator be an indigenous person or a converted colonizer?

Dr. Egret deduced that the event narrated in the manuscript created a Schrodinger paradox, where the accused was both declared guilty and innocent at the same time. A temporal anomaly then occurred where the abductee takes on the role of defense, and depending on the outcome of the trial, the consequences are seen on the day of the return of the SCP-022-PT user. As his theory failed to be supplemented with scientific evidence, the Foundation did not accept it as a high-profile record, and just left it on record to serve as a basis for future experiments.
