Threat Level: Green ●
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The area with a radius of ten (10) kilometers around SCP-079-FR must be declared as rare bison species reserve and banned from entering. The area must be fenced and remain under radar surveillance, warning signs must be set up along with security to escort any civilian who would choose to ignore the alerts. The flight over the area is prohibited.
Causing physical harm to residents of SCP-079-FR, whether using firearms or cold weapons, is forbidden.
Description: SCP-079-FR is a small village located in the ██████████ forest, Poland, at ██████°N, ██████°E.
SCP-079-FR includes a number of buildings such as wooden houses, shops, stables, blacksmith shop, laundromat, water wells, etc. Despite their old appearance, they do not match any particular era and are often stylistically similar to various structures around the world.
Furthermore, many architectural anomalies indicate that these buildings are unfit for habitation, craft or trade. Doors can't be shut and are devoid of any locks; windows are unglazed, and chimneys and gutters are closed from the ends. Houses occasionally lack "vital" rooms, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, or kitchens, and there are no signs of habitation (food, leftovers, household items, etc.).
The village and its inhabitants seem to exist independently of each other.
SCP-079-FR is inhabited by thirty-four (34) thirty-five (35) entities, designated by the names SCP-079-FR-1 to SCP-079-FR-34 -35.

Although these entities look like average people, they always remain inert. Neither the weather, threat, nor the pain had yet caused them to react. They do not appear to need food or air, and their immobility does not cause them to have cramps, damage, or a loss of muscle mass, that one would expect from such a condition. However, the analysis of their organic tissues showed that they were alive and are subjects of aging.
The entities show no signs of a heartbeat. Their blood, however, seems to continue to circulate slowly, but continuously.
Electroencephalography research (EEG) showed that their brain activity is close to that of a person in a coma.
In absence of interactions with humans, these entities stand completely static. It looks like no external force is capable to transport them. Towing SCP-079-FR-15 with a 4x4 Hawkai quad bike (with a thrust force greater than 4500 N) did not bring any results.
Nevertheless, entities are susceptible to wounding using firearms or cold weapons. The wound thus inflicted can be infected, which leads to gangrene and to the detachment of the decomposing parts. This, however, does not affect the bodily integrity of the wounded in any way: SCP-079-FR-03, that was accidentally cut in the thigh area by Agent ██████, currently has lost both of its legs and the lower abdomen due to lack of medical attention. Nevertheless, it retains his position in space ("floating" above the ground) and continues to act and speak in the same way as it did before.
In the case of human interaction, the inhabitants of SCP-079-FR will respond by initiating a dialogue and performing pre-determined actions. During the dialogue they seem to know only a limited selection of predefined sentences that will utter if they match the words of the interlocutor. If the interlocutor raises the topics that are unrelated or too complex, the entity declares with a predetermined phrase that it does not understand or will ask to repeat the question.
A detailed diagram of the possible questions and answers that may be asked to an entity can be obtained from Dr. Ambrozy.
Once the dialogue begins, the entities will start proposing objectives to the interlocutor. Currently, only three of these objectives have been completed, the others remain impossible, either the request was too impractical (fetching an object that does not exist or is not present at the specified location) or because [DATA EXPUNGED]. When the objective requires to obtain an object from another instance, it will mimic an act of presenting the object to the interlocutor while keeping its hands empty. It is assumed that the initial object exists only in one copy and has already been given to someone else. Replacing the object with a similar one did not work.
Requestor: SCP-079-FR-03
Objective: Obtain a bottle of "Miracle Elixir" from SCP-079-FR-06.
Realization: Agent ████ approached SCP-079-FR-06, received a bottle from it for free after mentioning SCP-079-FR-03, and then brought it to SCP-079-FR-03.
Result: SCP-079-FR-03 accepted the bottle and extracted ten (10) coins made out of gold and copper alloy from its pocket.
Notes: SCP-079-FR-06 picked the bottle from a shelf containing sixteen (16) identical bottles. This operation was repeated seventeen (17) times: as the result, the objective ended up impossible to complete; the bottles did not reappear. It is unclear why SCP-079-FR-03 required the bottles, each operation, it put the bottle inside a bag, the capacity of which seemed too small for such an item. No one else was capable to open it. Furthermore, SCP-079-FR-03 has been extracting coins from its pocket, which could not contain such amount.
Requestor: SCP-079-FR-09
Objective: SCP-079-FR-09, along with SCP-079-FR-08 and SCP-079-FR-07 makes a bet with the interlocutor that they will win in a game of hopscotch.
Realization: Agent ████ accepts the challenge and wins.
Result: SCP-079-FR-09 provides a "3-6-9-4" number sequence. What it allows to open is unknown to date.
Notes: Agent ████ accepted the challenge once again and lost on purpose. After that, SCP-079-FR-09, 08 and 07 started throwing rocks at the Agent.
Requestor: SCP-079-FR-22
Objective: Solve a series of three (3) mathematical puzzles.
Realization: Dr. Ambrozy, with consulting of other Foundation personnel, has succeeded to solve all the puzzles.
Result: SCP-079-FR-22 congratulates Dr. Ambrozy and declares to hand him "Anathemia, the Medallion of Fate". However, SCP-079-FR-22 only imitates a handover.
Notes: "Anathemia, the Medallion of Fate" seems to represent an object that has already been given to someone else.
Requestor: SCP-079-FR-10
Objective: Bring a piece of wild boar meat from SCP-079-FR-04.
Realization: Agent ████ approached SCP-079-FR-04, but it stated it no longer had a stock of meat and asked to receive a boar carcass from SCP-079-FR-14.
Result: Execution of the next objective.
Notes: "See below.
Requestor: SCP-079-FR-04
Objective: Recieve a boar carcass from SCP-079-FR-14.
Realization: Agent ████ approached SCP-079-FR-14 that invited to hunt in the forest with it in exchange of giving the carcass for free.
Result: Execution of the next objective.
Notes: "See below.
Requestor: SCP-079-FR-14
Objective: Hunt a wild boar.
Realization: Agent ████ entered the woods, being armed with an assault rifle and carrying a walkie-talkie in order to keep the contact, before [DATA EXPUNGED]
Result: Agent's body has not been found.
Notes: However, found blood trails, clothes and a weapon are consistent with the scream heard by walkie-talkie: ████ must have been killed by an undetermined wild animal.
Tasks that involve entering the forest should never be executed. Although entering the forest without obtaining an objective does not represent any risk.
An inspection revealed the forest around the village did not contain any animal life form larger than an insect. However, footprints and excrement have been discovered, indicating the existence of white wolves, wild boars, abnormally large birds, gigantic insects or arachnids as well as [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED].
Addendum: All the inhabitants of SCP-079-FR seem to match the profiles of various people reported missing in Poland or Belarus. Eight (8) of them were employees of a [DATA DELETED] video game publisher. The others were also reported missing in a period of time from the company shut down (in 20██) to the present day.
SCP-079-FR-18 during a dialogue. Note her wrist.
Incident 079-18:
██/██/20██, SCP-079-FR-18 was observed partially regaining control of herself. While her body remained perfectly still and acted as usual during an interaction, her right hand began shaking and scratching her left wrist until it started to bleed. This action lasted one minute and eight seconds (1min 08), after which SCP-079-FR-18's arm returned to its habitual state.
Since this, SCP-079-FR-18 has been constantly scratching her arm, at a rate of approximately one (1) scratch every twenty-four (24) days. It turned out that she was trying to write "pomóż mi" on her wrist, which means "help me" in Polish.
On-site personnel must disinfect self-inflicted scratches on SCP-079-FR-18 to avoid gangrene that can repeat SCP-079-FR-03's incident.
Incident 079-34:
██/██/20██, SCP-079-FR-34 was observed partially regaining control of himself. While his body remained perfectly still and acted as usual during an interaction, he started displaying the signs of intense agitation with one eye, looking around in panic and fixedly staring at the Foundation agents who were trying to make contact with him. In the course of two hours and thirty-six minutes (2h 36), SCP-079-FR-34 was experiencing extreme lacrimation, after which it returned to its habitual state. There have been no similar cases since.
Incident 079-21:
In ██/██/20██, SCP-079-FR-21 partially regained control of his speech during the dialogue with the Agent ████████. The incident lasted two minutes and twenty seconds (2min 20) before SCP-079-FR-21 returned to its habitual state.
Agent ████████: Hello.
SCP-079-FR-21: Greetings, adventurer! I heard you need equipment? I am your man! What do you need?
Agent ████████: Well, what can you offer?
SCP-079-FR-21: What can I offer you? Ahah, I have absolut- Oh my God, my God, help me!
Agent ████████: Excuse me?
SCP-079-FR-21: Didn't you hear that right? I- What's happening to me? I beg you! He did it! Oh my God I didn't believe him when he told me th- various of stuff!
Agent ████████: *calling for reinforcements* Hey! I need help here! At SCP-079-FR-21. Can you hear me? Do you know what's going on?
SCP-079-FR-21: Hey, take it easy! You don't have to tiptoe around m- You have to run, quick! Tell my wife that her h- the value of the- -can do nothing! Nothing at all! All he wants is for the game to continue! He won't -golden coins!
Agent ████████: *gripping his shoulders* Who are you talking about? Pull yourselves together! What's all this? Some kind of game? For whom?
SCP-079-FR-21: Hey, take it- No! There's no game, no player! It's just us! This is our punishment. Our curse! This is all mad -coins!
Agent ████████: Come on! Tell me everything! What happened? There must be a way to save you and everyone else!
SCP-079-FR-21: Hey, take it easy! You don't have to tiptoe- Lord, are there many more? Look, you can't do anything for us, try to find who is responsi -for the modest sum of fifteen golden coins!
Agent ████████: Responsible? Who is responsible? Make it more concise! Who is responsible?
SCP-079-FR-21: …
Agent ████████: I'm talking to you, dammit! Hey! Hello? Uh… Greetings, blacksmith!
SCP-079-FR-21: Greetings, adventurer! I heard you need equipment? I am your man! What do you need?
Agent ████████: Talk to me, for God's sake!
SCP-079-FR-21: Greetings, adventurer! I heard you need equipment? I am your man! What do you need?
Agent ████████: I think we lost him. [EXPLETIVE DELETED]!
Incident 079-00:
The best available photograph of "the man in black."
An individual in a black medieval robe has been seen errant in the forest around the village and observing the troops of the Foundation in ██/██/20██, ██/██/20██, le██/██/20██ and ██/██/20██. This entity has still not been captured and its identity, as well as its nature, remains unknown.
The research continues. Although it may be an external element, it must be considered that this individual can be an integral part of, or even instigator of, SCP-079-FR, and therefore may be particularly dangerous.
In case of an encounter, it should be captured alive.
Incident 079-01:
In ██.██.20██, a graffiti was found on the wall of the village entrance guard post. It reads "0.7.6, poprawione błędy" in Polish, which means "0.7.6, bugs fixed". During the night, numerous of objects appeared all over the village, including "consumables," or items suitable for certain objectives, such as SCP-079-FR-06's twenty (20) bottles of the "Miracle Elixir." The red substance that was applied to the wall has not been identified. The security also did not detect anyone entering the village.
Incident 079-02:
In ██.██.20██, three weeks after the Incident-079-Epsilon-15, a new graffiti was discovered, on the wall of the forge. It reads "1.0.0, Twoja księżniczka jest w innym zamku" in Polish, which means [DATA EXPUNGED].
To all personnel that can to read Polish: I ask you not to interpret this message. Everyone is concerned and there are already pernicious rumors causing our agents to panic. Yes, SCP-079-FR exists in a single exemplar. No, there is no 'contamination' or a reason to worry. The Safe class will remain.
- in ██/██/20██, the Field Agent █████ ███████ proposes to complete the objective "Kill the wolf that threatens the poultry house," given by SCP-079-FR-06 and enters the forest. He was declared missing after thirty-eight (38) hours of absence.
- In ██/██/20██, the Field Agent ████ ██████ made an attempt to find Agent ███████, taking the same objective. He was declared missing when the line went dead five (5) hours after the departure.
- In ██/██/20██, the Field Agent ██████ █████████ ignored the restriction to accept futher objectives, armed himself with two (2) assault rifles in order to complete the "Highways Bandits" objective given by SCP-079-FR-25 and disappeared in the forest. He left a note that reads "guns versus bows, it'll be comical."
- In ██/██/20██, the MTF Epsilon-15 "Knight Squires" entered the forest to find the missing, but came back empty handed.
- In ██/██/20██, following the Agent ██████'s idea, MTF Epsilon-15 entered the forest in search of the missing, split into two teams and preliminary accepted the "Kill the wolf that threatens the poultry house" and the "Highways Bandits" objectives. Both Epsilon-15 subgroups went missing after seven (7) and ten (10) hours respectively.
- In ██/██/20██, the MTF Epsilon-16 "Dragon's Revenge" was sent on place. At about 19h30 the missing commander of Epsilon-15 █████ A████████ was found at the entrance of the village, standing motionless and dressed in a medieval herald costume. The commander ████ J█████, his classmate, tried to enter into dialogue with him.
Dialogue transcription:
Cmdr. J█████: ████? Is that you? Gosh, man, we've been worried sick! Why are you dressed like that?
Cmdr. A████████: The new extension is coming soon! Will you be in the game?
Cmdr. J█████: Uh… Are you sure you're okay? ████, it's me! What happened to your MTF? Don't tell me…
Cmdr. A████████: The new extension is coming soon! Will you be in the game?
Cmdr. J█████: Oh, hell… You're in shock, buddy. All right, we'll just… *J█████ grabs A████████'s forearm and tries to drag him but his body refuses to move*
Cmdr. A████████: The new extension is coming soon! Will you be in the game?
Cmdr. J█████: Dammit, what are you talking about? Don't act like them, ████… Please… Come on, move! Move! *continues to drag his arm, without success*
Cmdr. A████████: The new extension is coming soon! Will you be in the game?
Cmdr. J█████: Stop saying that!
Cmdr. A████████: The new extension is coming soon! Will you be in the game?
Cmdr. J█████: Shut up! Shut up!
Cmdr. A████████: The new extension is coming soon! Will you be in the game?
Cmdr. J█████: *pulling out a gun* Shut up!
Cmdr. A████████: The new extension is coming, you will be in the game.
After that, commander J█████ fired at close range into A████████'s head. Despite the extremely severe damage, the left fragments of A████████'s head remained in place, continuing to articulate speech.
For this act commander J█████ was demoted to Class C personnel and transferred to a monitoring post at the Site-Aleph. His psychological record is currently being reevaluated.
The commander A████████ was officially renamed SCP-079-FR-35.
Dr. █████ requested an expedition, where the Class D personnel would accept the "Kill the wolf that threatens the poultry house" objective and enter the forest, followed closely by a scientific corps that did not accept the said objective.
The request is suspended until the end restriction on accepting new objectives.
