Distinctive sign of an SCP-090-DE-J instance.
Item #: SCP-090-DE-J
Object Class: Uncontained
Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-090-DE-J is impossible due to its properties. However, there is no risk for a broken-masquarade scenario.
Description: SCP-090-DE-J designates a glowing sign lime green in color in accordance with Directive 92/58/EEC1 that appears above doors in Germany in irregular intervals. It depicts a white stick figure following an adjacent arrow and running to a door, which is why all previous victims interpreted it as an "emergency exit". In order to clarify if this is due to an cognitohazardous effect, further research is required. But an impulsive effect could already be verified compelling all persons within the same room as SCP-090-DE-J to use the anomaly during an emergency.2 In most cases, however, SCP-090-DE-J does not lead to the area of the unaffected door, but to another room inadequate for the situation, such as a laboratory or a sewage treatment plant. Furthermore, every object large enough and generally considered as a door can serve as the second nodal point. Still both the persons entering the room as well as those already present within will assume that the situation is entirely normal.
Security Recordings within the Lavatory Area of Site-DE6
Foreword: This is the first recorded incident of an SCP-090-DE-J instance leading into the Foundation from a civil space.
The door to the third toilet cubicle opens and a kindergarten group of seventeen enters, including the two teachers. No one seems to question the circumstances.
Mrs Schwan: Please stay together. The firefighters will arrive in a minute. Tom, I think the gentleman would like to be left alone.
Agent Stroh: That's okay, your rascals must be very nervous. I presume a fire broke out at your place?
Mrs. Lot: Yes, originally we wanted to set off to our excursion to the zoo, but then there was an accident inside the kitchen and when we took note of that, the exit was already jammed. Technically, the smoke detectors should have been serviced and not wrecked. Thank god there are emergency exits.
Sarah: Hey guys, we're already at the zoo! There's a penguin over there!
Mrs. Stroh: Sarah, we told you to stay with the- Hey, come back! Oh, dammit!
All children run to the glass wall, through which an instance of SCP-180-DE-13 is visible interacting with a test subject. Mrs. Stroh and Mrs. Lot run after them.
Mrs. Lot: These aren't toys. To be honest, I have no idea where are exactly.
Dr. Fried: Hey, who are you-
Dr. Fried hesitates as he is entering the area affected by SCP-180-DE-1.
Dr. Fried: I mean we rarely expect visitors. I assume you've lost your way?
Mrs. Stroh: Yes, you're right. We just wanted to take a tour to the zoo and now we are, uh, where are we?
Dr. Fried: I fear I can't tell you that. But I can show you the way to the exit.
Mrs. Stroh: That would be very nice.
Dr. Fried: Okay, then follow me.
As all affected persons are leaving the area afflicted by SCP-180-DE-1, the temper of Dr. Fried also changes.
Dr. Fried: You should know that you can consider yourself lucky to get out of here in one piece. You have already seen too much.
Mrs. Lot: Pardon me? Do you call that a joke? Don't scare the children.
Dr. Fried: (sighs in frustration) Now I've become responsible to prevent this from devolving into a scene. Can you imagine how hard it will be to give everyone a shot, so everyone can forget this entire disaster? As if there aren't bigger problems at hand …
A moment of silence follows, before all children scream.
Tim: We never wanted to visit the zoo, but the doctor! You lied to us!
Laura: Let's get out of here!
All children run away; followed by the teachers and Dr. Fried. Eventually, the group scatters into smaller groups and runs across the entire site.
Mrs. Stroh: I can't believe it!
Mrs. Stroh sits down angrily onto a crate and shortly thereafter is offered a glass of water by SCP-180-DE-1, which was let out by Dr. Fried, she gratefully accepts.
Dr. Fried: Don't worry. They won't be lost for long. I'm not the only one here after all.
Half an hour later, the security personal arrives at the scene with the children.
Agent Molch: We were able to track the children down.
Tom: That was the best zoo trip of all time! I've seen so many animals and then also played catch!
Afterword: All involved civilians were transported to their place of origin within vehicles with opaque dark-tinted side windows. Both teachers and the children were treated with amnestics.
