Item #: SCP-115-KO
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedure: SCP-115-KO is to be contained in Level 1 Special Sample Storage. Organic objects are not to make contact with SCP-115-KO during containment or an experiment.
All possible experiments on SCP-115-KO have been completed. Experiment conclusions state that the object is nothing more than a metal box, and any subsequent experiments are considered unnecessary. If a researcher wishes to request additional experimentation, please refer to Stats 1-115-77 and report to the quarantine group, then go through Level 2 security approvals in order to ensure that your suggestion is not preceded.
Description: SCP-115-KO is a regular dodecahedral steel box with an edge length of 30cm. SCP-115-KO is completely sealed; judging by its material and size, it can only be assumed that its interior is empty. However, due to unknown reasons, attempts to photograph the interior of SCP-115-KO always fail. Refer to Stats 1-115-77 to see examination results regarding the interior of the object. Efforts to explain how the sample emits electric currents are presently taking the interference hypothesis of external entropy into consideration.
When an organic object makes contact with the object, it emits an electric current of 7A (Amperes). This is from 7 to 10 times the average lethal charge for human subjects, as discovered during the security process following the deaths of three agents. A material hardness test revealed that the object can withstand loads greater than [REDACTED] tonnes.

Case for storing SCP-115-KO
SCP-115-KO changing from a cube to another cube
Item #: SCP-115-KO
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedure: The case for storing SCP-115-KO is made with ultra-light alloy in a dodecahedral shape, in order to give it a visual mystique. An electronic sensor is to be implemented in the case in order to emit an electric current of 7A to organic objects without V-21 Electromagnetic Vaccination.
The case has anti-tampering and visual scrambling measures implemented, so any known scanning equipment is not usable to analyze the object.
It is vital to conceal information regarding SCP-115-KO; this includes use of misinformation that presumes the dodecahedral ultralight alloy case is the object. All publicly known experiments and statistical data are to be manipulated to imply that any further examination of the object is unnecessary. It is currently contained in Site ██.
Be very careful not to make contact with the object during containment procedures.
All experiments using SCP-115-KO are postponed indefinitely.
As soon as the case identifies V-21 Electromagnetic Vaccination in a subject, it will open safely. To see the procedure for V-21 Electromagnetic Vaccination, refer to Document 1-115-1. (Not included in this report)
Except for observation and analysis of Site ██ and SCP-115-KO, all attempts at SCP-115-KO are not permitted.
Description: SCP-115-KO is a compound of an unknown material that changes from a regular polyhedron to another regular polyhedron continuously. Despite the continuous change, its all edge lengths sustains at 10cm and its size doesn't change. SCP-115-KO always floats and remains at 6cm from the floor, and using these characteristics, it can be 'lifted' or moved.
If an intelligent organism touches the SCP-115-KO, the subject immediately bounces off about 50cm, but there is no any other physical harm. There is no data about any phenomena upon a second contact. Other organisms whose thinking, logical, and verbal abilities are significantly below average human appear to lose their athletic and mental abilities immediately after contact with SCP-115-KO. The subjects will not show any movement, but as described above, physical changes won't be present. This process is not reversible. Because the subject will stop breathing, the subject will die soon.
According to the analysis of the little data we do have, if an organism with enough cognitive and verbal abilities (Humans are the only known example) makes contact with SCP-115-KO, the subject (a.k.a. SCP-115-KO-1) will establish their own logic about 'meaninglessness' (or 'nothingness'), and will attempt to execute it. That attempt is known to never fail. Generally SCP-115-KO-1 will limit the scope of the logic to their own, but an instance with enough knowledge in Logic or Philosophy will direct the scope outward. Even if SCP-115-KO-1's logic or concepts have impossibility or incompleteness, as long as the subject wants to execute the logic, it will actually affect the reality.
SCP-115-KO will gradually fade from the memories of the personnel who have encountered SCP-115-KO, and will eventually be forgotten. It seems probable that after a further period of time, they will instinctively detect the location of SCP-115-KO and will trace it to make another contact. The object class had been raised to Keter.
Discussion Record 115-█
Subject: Citizen Ann ██
Interviewer: Agent J.████
Introduction: Ann ██ was a citizen who made contact with SCP-115-KO-1, also a conspirator who broke into the scene to the carelessness of the agents at the time of security.
<Begin recording>
Agent J.████: I want to know a lot about you. I would like you to cooperate.
Citizen Ann ██: Can… can I remain silent?Agent J.████: You cannot. It's up to me whether you will live. So please cooperate. You were just unlucky.
Citizen Ann ██: (Some silence) I……. I doubt there will be any difference regardless whether I cooperate or not. I'm starting to think like that.Agent J.████: You are presumptuous. I have the right to apply a confession drug.
Citizen Ann ██: No, it's not like that. It's that I don't even need to do that now. That is… (Suddenly the subject's body stiffens and stops moving.)Agent J.████: Hey. Hello? (In a hurry) Anomaly symptoms! Security agents! Containment specialists!
Citizen Ann ██: (Breathing, but not moving)<End recording>
Result: No other damages were reported other than the citizen Ann ██. There were no physical harms, but all of the nerves except those for respiration didn't respond to any stimuli. Subsequently, the subject was transferred for research.
Event Record 115-1
Summary: Agent ███ made contact to SCP-115-KO during the containment procedure.
Result: The agent seemed to be in agony, and after about 30 seconds, the agent vanished without a trace. Every effort to find the agent failed. Death benefit is paid to the agent's family.
Discussion Record 115-█
Subject: Agent Mudd
Interviewer: Dr. F████
Introduction: Agent Mudd accidentally make contact with SCP-115-KO while containing SCP-115-KO in a containment chamber in Site ██. After a brief mental checking, he was designated as the subject.
<Begin recording in a discussion room>
Dr. F████: No need to be afraid. Would you state the current status?
Agent Mudd: I'm not afraid. It's just……. I have lots of thoughts.
Dr. F████: Is it an effect from the object?
Agent Mudd: Probably.
Dr. F████: Please tell me.
Agent Mudd: They're being organized in my mind. They fit together piece by piece. Amazing. It feels like someone is stacking Tetris blocks made of the truth into my consciousness. That's a good analogy.
Dr. F████: What kind of thoughts?
Agent Mudd: (The focus of his eyes is shaking.) Amazing…….
Dr. F████: I repeat. What kind of thoughts?
Agent Mudd: (Some silence) They're meaningless.
Dr. F████: What? I don't want to take jokes.
Agent Mudd: Literally, they're about meaninglessness.
Dr. F████: I need an explanation.
Agent Mudd: The citizen who previously made contact with the object aimed to make himself meaningless. The way he thought to do that was to cause brain death by himself. Now I can understand him.
Dr. F████: Understand?
Agent Mudd: In other words, he chose not to be aware of himself. That was the nothingness for him.
Dr. F████: Then why was he so obsessed about meaninglessness?
Agent Mudd: (In a tone like soothing a child) Oh my God, Doctor. You won't understand anything. That happy man weren't aiming for death. To accomplish meaninglessness, the value of life is nothing but a defect part. But there is another way to accomplish that.
Dr. F████: It is impossible to cause brain death by oneself!
Agent Mudd: You were an authority on Neuroscience. But this is the Foundation. So Doctor, it's time to ask a question ignoring such impossibilities.
Dr. F████: What is……. the meaninglessness you think? Is it yourself?
Agent Mudd: It is this very Site.
Dr. F████: What?<End recording>
Subsequences: Agent Mudd, starting from the desk in the discussion room, began to erase all the wares in the Site, including the Site itself, just by touching them. The tactical response officers were called and came to the Site ██, but the Site and the personnel of the Site already had vanished without a trace. As soon as agent Mudd said "Now I am as usual. The meaningless things became meaningless." while walking toward the officers, Mudd was neutralized by 97 gunshots. Agent Mudd died, and was designated as the first instance of SCP-115-KO-1. Dr. F████ and his unarmed researchers, who were not members of Site ██, were the only survivors.
Discussion Record 115-█
Subject: Dr. Dale
Interviewer: Dr. ███
Introduction: Dr. Dale was exposed to SCP-115-KO during the containment process of SCP-115-KO. Immediately 20 armed security personnel were deployed. Discussion began in the Level-6 Alert standby. Dr. Dale was an author of theoretical physics and had written 5 papers on Metaphysics and General Philosophy.
<Begin recording in a special containment chamber>
Dr. ███: Doctor, you have become a very dangerous being. Follow the instructions, and if need be you will be disposed of promptly. It has been 3 minutes since the exposure. You haven't said a single word.
Dr. Dale: Hahaha. Hahahahaha.
Dr. ███: The first reaction after the exposure is laughing? It's creepy.
Dr. Dale: Why couldn't ANYONE know about this? Of course, there were no way to know. It is generally impossible to understand the nothingness. Can you even guess what color the nothingness has? Now I know about such concepts, and understand them.
Dr. ███: You won't be able to erase me. I will fire on you if needed. I will not repeat the mistakes like the previous time.
Dr. Dale: I won't do that. Just write down that information I say.
Dr. ███: It's being recorded.
Dr. Dale: Meaninglessness is the goal of all intelligent beings who made contact with this very 115. Though the goal is the nothingness, their direction differs. Someone applies it to oneself, and someone applies it to something else. But once the direction is set, it becomes the ultimate goal. It is based on the one's own logic, and the knowledge acquired from one's own thinking. The result of the thinking process acquired from the contact with 115 can affect an existing object because that knowledge is complete.
Dr. ███: Continue.
Dr. Dale: In other words, it is possible to transcend the physical laws if wanted. And the one will be satisfied as soon as the desired form of the nothingness is made. So as long as it hasn't been applied to oneself, the one will come back to the normal. Though the one will preserve the one's knowledge.Dr. ███: Is there any reason to trust your words?
Dr. Dale: I don't want you argue, and you don't need to trust it. More experimental data will give you certainty. Are you ready to take it?
Dr. ███ Then, what do you want to erase? Tell me. If it results in a disastrous situation, you will be disposed. And if you don't tell me, you will be disposed. And also if you lie, you will be disposed. You have 2 seconds.
Dr. Dale: It's impossible to lie about it. So I'll tell you. I already erased it.
Dr. ███: Eh? What did you erase?
Dr. Dale: You won't understand even if I say.
Dr. ███: Then there is only the extreme way. I'll apply confession drug.
Dr. Dale: I can say it.
Dr. ███: Then go on.
Dr. Dale: (Incomprehensible)
Dr. ███: What?
Dr. Dale: (Incomprehensible)
Dr. ███: I hear you. Is there something wrong with me?
Dr. Dale: No, I erased (Incomprehensible)ness.
Dr. ███: What the…….
Dr. Dale: I told you that you won't understand even if I say.
Dr. ███: Tell me what the heck you did! Right now!
Dr. Dale: I erased……. (Some silence) a concept.
Dr. ███: What?
Dr. Dale: Rather than oneself or an existing object, it's possible to erase a concept and I did it.
Dr. ███: You, just……. What, the…….
Dr. Dale: You couldn't understand my words because it is already gone from this reality. Can you imagine a color that you have never seen? Not a combination of red, blue and yellow, but some kind of 4th color? It's similar. Because it doesn't exist, it is incomprehensible. Even if I lecture it to you till I die, you won't be able to understand any of it. I am the only one who knows about this erased concept in this reality.
Dr. ███: Then, how are we still alive? How can a universe exist with a conceptual puncture?
Dr. Dale: Do you think that your sibling's death would have a direct impact of your life? What about your friends or parents? It's similar. You're not smart as I expected. Even if your arm is cut out, the scar remains, but someday you'll heal. Though the arm won't come back. Just like that. The puncture will be mended. Though it will stretch, it won't tear apart.
Dr. ███: I don't know what it is, please turn it back on…….
Dr. Dale: You or your friends might've thought briefly about it a minute before I erased this concept. Or you might've thought about it at yesterday's bedtime before you fell asleep. Or you might've thought about it while having a meal some days ago, or you might've taken a time to have a deep look at it at the past. But now……. Now……. Aah……. Haha.
Dr. ███: You are crazy. Completely mad!
Dr. Dale: I'm not crazy. My consciousness is now clearer than ever. Aren't you the ones who have flaws?
Dr. ███: Okay then. End discussion. It's done……. Farewell.
Afterword: The colorless and odorless sleep inducing agent that had been injected into the containment chamber since the beginning of the discussion became intense after the discussion ended, and soon every personnel in the containment chamber fell asleep. Dr. Dale was moved to a humanoid containment chamber and was kept in a continuous coma. Dr. ███ was soon awakened, and except for his █ core researchers, all related personnel are treated Class-B amnestics. The incomprehensible voice of SCP-115-KO-1 who used to be Dr. Dale had been analyzed, but the no result could be found other than that the voice was Dale's.
SCP-115-KO is too dangerous. Judging by the characteristics of the object, if an information of the object or the object itself is exposed to a GOI or civilians, It is my researchers' view that we must always be prepared for at least //-I highlight that it's at least- //TK-Class Scenario. Assuming that he……. Sorry. SCP-115-KO-1 was true, The object erased a 'concept' from this universe. We won't ever be able to know that it is. I consider any subsequent exposure, and even a chance of exposure to be catastrophic. What if a new instance of SCP-115-KO-1 sets the gravity to nothing? Or if it erases every light? Remember, we've already lost something. It may be something you had some time ago. So read the enclosed proposal. Let me conceal the information. Prohibit every experiments. -Director of Site ██
Accepted. -O5-█
Additional Reports 32-SCP-115-KO-1
Summary: Mental manipulations from SCP-115-KO-1 were rediscovered: Mass amnesia.
Description: Mental manipulations by SCP-115-KO was discovered during the disposal of SCP-115-KO-1. After 3 days, the task force who neutralized SCP-115-KO-1 and their director forgot the existence of SCP-115-KO and the SCP-115-KO-1. Of their memories, no anomalies were reported other than those about SCP-115-KO. Dale, the doctor of Theoretical Physics who had been designated as SCP-115-KO-1, were abandoned due to the mass amnesia, and died of nutrition deficiency. The personnel instructed to re-supply nutrition once and their director lost all memories of SCP-115-KO after three days as mentioned above. There has been no subsequent nutritional re-supply.
Additional Reports 33-SCP-115-KO
Summary: Mental manipulations from SCP-115-KO were rediscovered: Mass amnesia.
Description: Large-scale interviews were conducted with all personnel involved in SCP-115-KO. In the memories of all personnel who were instructed to secure and contain SCP-115-KO and their director, those of SCP-115-KO was steadily fading, and in a month the relevant memories disappeared completely. However, the personnel who did not participate in securing and containing and were only in charge of analysis and observation showed no signs of abnormality. All of the personnel involved in the process of conducting large-scale interviews, except for those who were also in charge of observation and analysis, were all affected by the mental manipulation effects and lost all memories of SCP-115-KO after three days.
Retraining considered impossible. Every victim of the amnesia didn't perceive anything with SCP-115-KO.
The O5 Council is to be only accessible for results of the observation and analysis of SCP-115-KO. Direct commands can not be issued. Do not be exposed to SCP-115-KO. In other words, do not approve any suggestions. Nor refuse them. Just ignore them. Please delegate to me the final approval authority for SCP-115-KO. Ignore this suggestion. - Temporal Director of Site ██
Temporal Director of Site ██ have lost every memory of SCP-115-KO. Retraining failed. A new Temporal Director of Site ██ is appointed.

Incident Report 21-SCP-115-KO
Introduction: Civilian invasion continues at Site ██, where SCP-115-KO is contained.
Main Text: In the first civilian invasion of 20██-0█-██, two guards on the border guards of a Site ██-owned site warned the civilians who were not authorized to pass Site ██ three times and fired. Civilians died. Corpses incinerated.
In the third civilian invasion on 20██-0█-██, two guards on the border guards of a Site ██-owned failed to recognize civilians who were not authorized to pass Site-██. They invaded till Site ██ entrance. After that, they were killed by the guards who guarded the doorway. Corpses incinerated.
In the sixth civilian invasion on 20██-0█-██, civilians invades the Site-██ entrance. Guards guarding the gates were not aware of civilians. They were then suppressed at the secondary entrance and treated amnestics. Analysis suggests that the intruder's identity may be SCP-115-KO-1, who had already touched SCP-115-KO once. They returned after the treatment, and were subsequently quarantined. They were then neglected and later died of dehydration. Quarantine of civilians who subsequently invaded Site ██ were prohibited. The memory—of Class █ personnel who ordered the ban—associated with SCP-115-KO has been faded.
In the eleventh civilian invasion on 20██-0█-██, civilians broke into SCP-115-KO's containment cell. They were killed by security personnel. Corpses incinerated. Records leaving █████ one day before their death were checked.
In the twenty-fourth civilian invasion of 20██-0█-██, civilians invade SCP-115-KO's containment cell. They were killed by automatic defense system. Corpse neglected.
In the sixty-second civilian invasion of 20██-0█-██, civilians invade SCP-115-KO's containment cell. They were killed by automatic defense system. Corpse neglected.
The Decision To Close Site ██ Rejected
Of course. Listen carefully. The plan to transfer all SCPs at Site ██ was successful. Except for that damn SCP-115-KO. It is well contained inside the base and containment chamber.
All base personnel died. No one tried to clean up the corpses left in front of the containment cell. The bodies were rotted viciously, so of course, the plague spread over the newly fertile space, and because nothing was cleaned we lost all our valuable personnel to it. I could not intervene in them. Why? Because one of the invaders was an agent who contained SCP-115-KO-1! Whose memory for 115 was wiped out! So he died! Because he ignored the security system warning three times!
So let's leave it alone. It's no longer useful for changing budgets and headcount. I knew it wouldn't end with being put in temporarily and losing memory. If the Site Supervisor orders the cleaning, and it goes down and down thanks to the fucking bureaucracy, all that's left is to forget the memory of 115 as if it were going down. And soon you'll see the site overseer in front of the containment cell.
Because of that, base closure was rejected for similar reasons. All that's left is to watch how the civilians who know and continue to visit the base are slaughtered by the fully automatic firearms, so watch the body build up and repeat the crap to analyze and report it. Until the end. I don't know how many of these people are. But now, when the fully automatic firearms run out of bullets, they will scratch the door of the containment chamber and die of the thirst. Like the civilians and Dale. We can't do anything. If you have more questions, please email. Briefing, finish.
