Special Containment Procedures: Due to the location of the SCP-ES-132-related events, the impossibility of their containment, and their lack of danger to individuals unaffected by SCP-ES-132, a disinformation campaign has been maintained among civilian settlements near Foundation facilities. The selected facilities should have a high flow of new personnel transfers to SCP-ES-132-A facilities.
Staff members suspected of triggering SCP-ES-132-related events will be placed under observation and will be removed from the SCP Foundation if warranted, otherwise, they may not apply for entry to any SCP-ES-132-A facility.
In the event of an information breach, exposed civilians will be amnestied and relocated to the nearest civilian settlement.
Currently, with respect to modifications to the containment of the anomaly, it is delegated to the Site-34 Pataphysics Division.
RAISA NOTICE
The following is an addendum to the Special Containment Procedures detailing new containment methods for the anomaly following approval for Project Testeo.
Nobody who is not a member of Project Testeo will have any knowledge of SCP-ES-132 and the events related to it. Only the SCP Foundation Facility Manager will have access to SCP-ES-132 documentation if they agree to be attached to Project Testeo.
Any mail sent by PoI-ES-3407 must be intercepted, reviewed and subsequently archived.
Any recollections of wall-related anomalies that directly affect personnel will be eliminated and covered up, including recollections before and after the implementation of Project Testeo.
Under the following directive, SCP-ES-132 and everything related to it has been reclassified as Thaumiel and relinquished as a major project of the Site-34 Pataphysics Division.
#@ERROR@# NOTICE
AN INFORMATIVE ANOMALY HAS BEEN RECORDED
The following attachment pertaining to Special Containment Procedures has been deleted due to an unknown informative anomaly. Efforts are underway to restore this page and reinforce the respective computer systems.
PLEASE (DO NOT) INTERACT WITH POI-3407
Description: SCP-ES-132 is a phenomenon that affects new staff members., y which have applied to join a Foundation facility where the predominant language is Spanish (henceforth, SCP-ES-132-A).
SCP-ES-132 first appeared at the beginning of 2018, following the introduction of a tightening of the application requirements for new members for Spanish-speaking installations. This tightening consisted of the replacement of an internal selection system after the completion of personnel training, to a system of internal questions and answers that determine the ability of the individual applying for their job.
To date, it has been determined that SCP-ES-132 events result from a deficiency of the applicants (SCP-ES-132-1). Among these deficiencies, the following can be found:
- Spelling or grammatical errors, use of subjective words, extreme detail of personal skills and/or informal writing in their application.
- Creating humorous material about and/or interpreting a staff member recognized by much of the Foundation.
- Disinformation regarding work performed in SCP-ES-132-A instances.
- Extreme basic knowledge regarding the work of the Foundation.
- Ethical and/or moral lapses shown in previous installations. This includes not reading the basic rules of coexistence within SCP-ES-132-A facilities.
Any one or combination of these deficiencies will trigger SCP-ES-132 events. Despite this, it has been determined that SCP-ES-132 is not triggered by minor deficiencies, namely, some wording flaws in the application; misinformation with respect to moderately known groups of interest; minor ethical and/or moral lapses, such as discussions between personnel.
It is possible to determine that a subject enters an SCP-ES-132 event when, upon applying to enter a SCP-ES-132-A instance, their request is denied. These denial messages are sent by an individual named «Dr. Merlin-VI» (designated as PoI-3407) (See Addendum-ES-132-1), which has been determined to be a pataphysical entity and which signs as a member of the Board of Directors of the SCP-ES-132-A instance to which SCP-ES-132-1 applied. The SCP-ES-132 event will start once SCP-ES-132-1 has read the response and is more than 1 km from the nearest Foundation facility.
SCP-ES-132-B instance. The instance did not present its distinguishable characteristics. It was later learned that the instance had mimicked the wall shown in the image.
SCP-ES-132 events are characterized by the appearance of SCP-ES-132-B, a wall with relative dimensions of 10 x 0.3 x 3 meters, ectoentropically in the vicinity of SCP-ES-132-1, presumably built with brick laid in English masonry and roughly finished. SCP-ES-132-B is not anomalous per se, but presents some anomaly around it, and, although it tends not to present the same anomaly for each occurrence, most of them have been classified as physical, mathematical or cognito-hazardous in nature. The individual's deficiencies will also influence these anomalies, presenting as a misinterpretation of the individual's words in the application, which is reflected in the anomaly. SCP-ES-132-B will disappear within 5-15 seconds after its appearance, reappearing once there is another SCP-ES-132-1 instance.
There is a 40% chance that SCP-ES-132-1 will survive the event, otherwise it will be eliminated by the event.
To date, a total of ████ events related to SCP-ES-132 have been registered. (See Addendum-ES-132-2)
SCP-ES-132-1 subjects who survive an SCP-ES-132 phenomenon will remember the event as a transient occurrence, more of a negative tychenic event than an anomaly. SCP-ES-132 instances will suffer from a mild to medium compulsion that compels them to reapply for admission 1-7 days after their previous application. On this second application, it is possible to witness an improvement in all aspects mentioned in their disapproving response, although it is possible that another SCP-ES-132 event may occur again, starting the cycle of the anomaly all over again.
Currently, an average of 2.4 SCP-ES-132-related events per subject have been recorded, with the highest number of application attempts so far by Researcher José Hernández, with a total of 21 applications. (See Addendum-ES-132-4)
Addendum-ES-132-1: Information gathered from PoI-3407 ("Merlin-VI"), by Archivist Borja Dowell
The current records present several temporal and ontological inconsistencies, as reference is made to several investigators who never existed and to events that occurred, but which have been exaggerated.
Based on this, the current records note that PoI-3407 remained a member of the Site-34 staff since joining in November 2014, well before the start of the SCP-ES-132 events. PoI-3407 had been registered as an expert in physics and mathematics, with no registered degrees. PoI-3407 was assigned as a research assistant to Researcher Marcus Landon. Due to Res. Landon's poor performance, PoI-3407 was placed in his position as a Low Hazard Anomaly Investigator, and he appointed Junior Researcher Cygnus as his research assistant.
Together, PoI-3407 and Junior Res. Cygnus made remarkable advances in materials stable to chrono-displacements and spatial deformations. During this time, he was able to work jointly with Res. Andres Mondragon and Dr. Richard Barnard, developing containment methods for cognito-hazardous and biological anomalies.
It should be noted that during this period (2014-2015) he became romantically involved with Dr. Melisa Blanca. The death of the latter in July 2015 apparently drove PoI-3407 into a deep depression, ceasing his activities until July 2017. Around this date, a breakdown of the local narrative had mobilized several of the top-performing scientists of the Spanish branch of the Foundation to devise appropriate containment procedures. Among them, PoI-3407 had done an exceptional job, devising a method to deflect the effects of this rupture into a lower narrative..
Thanks to this, and a long list of works oriented to particle physics, equation solving methods, unified field theory and thanatological engineering, he was promoted as Vice Director of Site-34 by December 2017. On January 2, 2018, PoI-3407 disappeared without a trace, reappearing once the current login application procedure was implemented.
Although it is currently possible to contact him, he generally responds with a corresponding link to the intSCPF intranet, which redirects to a compilation of guides. During contacts with PoI-3407, he has expressed his discomfort with the tone used by the staff, who said that the subjects seemed to be role-playing. Despite this, the subject takes this in a humorous manner, responding in kind.
As of the writing of this addendum, PoI-3407 is the one who responds to new membership requests and conducts research on his own. He is still in contact with some staff members. PoI-3407 still makes SCPs reports, although they are sent at indeterminate time intervals.
Some interviews have shown that he is still interested in Dr. Melisa Blanca. This is being investigated.
Its detection has not yet been possible.

Professor Edmundo Hernández |
Event summary: SCP-ES-132-B appears in front of Prof. Hernández with a form attached to it. It is currently speculated that, during the event, there were multiple space-time fluctuations that caused a loop within the affected area. This loop was not observable, but measurable, from outside the loop. The subject was seen filling out the form with a black marker on the floor. SCP-ES-132-B disappeared and from the subject emanated a scream that was "Dammit! How do you not know what testeo is!?" measured at, at least, 150 decibels. Despite this, the sound remained self-contained within a 2 meter perimeter around Prof. Hernández, causing the expulsion of multiple internal organs from the mouth, expulsion of the eyes, intestines, and breaking of multiple bones. Although the subject survived, much of his brain was damaged due to this, leading to his elimination.

Event summary: SCP-ES-132-B appears in front of Prof. Rodriguez. At first glance, no noticeable changes were observed in the subject. After 10 seconds, the subject collapsed to the floor and SCP-ES-132-B disappeared. The individuals present began to observe a subject that looked exactly like Prof. Rodriguez. When attempting to photograph him, he did not appear in the images, although it was possible to converse with him. It was later determined that it was a non-self-sustaining memetic entity., causando su degradación memética pocas horas después de su análisis completo.

Junior Researcher Cesar Perez |
Event summary: SCP-ES-132-B appears above Res. Junior Perez and remains there until its disappearance. There is a strong shaking in situ, followed by the emergence of 4 10-meter stone pillars around the subject. The pillars begin to twist together to form a hollow cube with an open bottom face (presumably of the same material as the pillars). The cube falls on the subject and SCP-ES-132-B, leaving it completely isolated from the environment. Attempts to destroy the cube have resulted in a compulsive effect that prevents its destruction and the perception of vocalizations saying "When you were in school they taught you to tie shoelaces like this?"
Addendum-ES-132-3: Interview Log
The following is a record of an interview conducted with the subjects Marianne Ruiz, Alexander Ruiz and Ronaldo Desmanarais. Marianne Ruiz and Alexander Ruiz are brothers-in-law of Ronaldo Desmanarais. They complained about their repeated attempts to apply and alleged that the standards of Site-313, the facility to which they had applied, were too high, even for an organization like the SCP Foundation. Attached below is the interview with Agent Marco Erben.
Interviewer: Agent Marco Erben (designado como ME)
Interviewee: Marianne Ruiz (MR), Alexander Ruiz (AR) y Ronaldo Desmanarais (RD)
ME: All right, how can I help you?
MR: We have a problem with a certain Merlin the sixth. We've all applied to get into Site-313, but none of us could get accepted, for crying out loud! And besides that, a fucking wall threw me a lightning bolt. At least I didn't die… or feel anything. AH!
AR: You see, Mr. Erben, my sister and I are appalled, how is it possible that such high standards are applied to this sort of thing? I mean, we know it's a secret organization, but come on! We've only seen reports of a statue that moves when you don't see it and a reptile that's hard to destroy, this is easy. It's stupid that, seeing how those who contain the giggling slime act, they would treat us this way. We can handle this, even we could do better.
ME: Mmm… Yes, I see. I'll send a notification to Site-313 Management and see what they can do for you. This kind of thing usually happens to new people, just try not to make it worse.
RD: Getting worse? You're talking about our behavior? But we're impeccable! How can you call us teenagers, huh?
ME: Ah, yes, uh… I think, you should check your spelling and grammar. It's funny that you were drafted in the first place.
RD: Are you calling me stupid?…. Look, mmm…, we just came to talk about that Merlin guy and his wall. The guy is a son of a bitch, denying us all… what a guy, thinking he's a big deal and dubbing himself as a barrier to enter Site-313. This is my third application, and other than that I got hit by a train and went into an endless spiral staircase. I got out after an hour, but I'm sick to death of this! Not only do they not accept us, but they play dirty with us! That son of a bitch won't accept me, what the hell am I here for? I have absolutely no idea how to speak English!
AR: Me too, I don't want to go to a place with another language. I wouldn't be able to communicate, English is not something I want to master right now. I just want to work for the Foundation.
ME: By the way, have you tried to send a message to Merlin the sixth?
MR: In fact I sent several messages to that doc, he only responded with an ethical lecture and a link to some rules for newbies. It's stressful that a person like that can exist. He doesn't even pay attention to us, does he think this is a website? I mean, he behaves so unethically, and he says we are like that. Have you seen his posts? Sometimes there is irony in them.
ME: Yes, I was afraid of that. We really don't fully understand who Merlin is, and if I'm not mistaken, I doubt they can apply for any place where Spanish is spoken. It's, like, an anomaly.
MR: An anomaly? Oh, great, now it turns out the son of a bitch is an anomaly! Aren't they supposed to contain those things? What's next, someone riding 682 with a flaming sword?
ME: Uh, that actually happened…
MR: Cool.
ME: As I said, this is all I can do for you. The one who controls who enters is that Merlin the sixth. We can put you in training for a week, if we see improvements, you could apply. In the meantime, you will be prohibited from sending any applications to Spanish-speaking facilities. It is for your safety.
AR: Oh! Perfect! Then we'll just keep wandering around in this shit, you know what? Fuck you, fuck you all. We can't stand such an insult to our persons. Wow, you guys really don't appreciate those who are actually qualified. 2 fucking years as a professor in medical school for this… crap. I quit.
[AR left the interview room in annoyance. MR and RD follow him]
Conclusion: Subjects Marianne Ruiz, Alexander Ruiz and Ronaldo Desmanarais resigned their positions as recruits. They were amnestixed and all their memories about the Foundation were erased. All their records were deleted and they were given a false memory of their resignation.

To: pcs.reesrevo|8_5o#pcs.reesrevo|8_5o
Subject: Project Testeo
My kindest regards, O5-8.
For the past year, we have been investigating an anomaly of an unavoidable nature, something that has been plaguing our staff since mid-2018. The anomaly in question only affects new recruits, it is in fact, a filter of sorts. My team has been investigating anomalous deaths due to walls over the past few months. They are all related.
Bad wording when applying, misbehaviors, toxic personalities, inability to understand the word testeo. It's a filter that works pretty well. Of course, every filter has its flaws, sometimes there are subjects who manage to get in and then show their true face already in the facility.
Since the anomaly has been in place, we have seen an increase in staff performance. And not only that, the researchers are really efficient at what they do, everyone has changed from being obnoxious people to more pleasant subjects, thus making the work environment more pleasant. The world cannot be perfect, we still have subjects that break all the rules of this anomaly, but we have determined that they have been there since before its existence, and therefore, the filter does not work on them.
For all these reasons, I would like to apply for approval of Project Testeo. Yes, the name is indeed an info-hazard, but this project will be reserved only for the high command of all facilities that wish to integrate.
The project consists of using the Spanish-speaking branch facilities as a second filter for new staff members. We know that trainings are not entirely effective, but some days, as an excuse, within our facilities, could serve as a cover for a staff clean-up.
We have seen this in detail. Investigations are still ongoing, nothing has been lost, and we have killed some rats.
If you can trust us and our investigation, rest assured that you will see everyone's dreams here come true. As fanciful as it sounds, maybe this will give us a push to get to them. I am enclosing the entirety of our research below:
I look forward to hearing from you,
Sincerely, Res. Eduardo Mallea, Site-34 Director

To: pcs.rotcerid|aellamodraude#pcs.rotcerid|aellamodraude
Subject: RE:Project Testeo
Director Eduardo Mallea,
the Overseers Council and myself have voted on your project, reaching a vote of 7 in favor, 4 against and 2 abstentions. Since the anomaly does not represent a danger to the triple mission of the Foundation, and its effects represent an information gap, we have concluded that the same anomaly should be submitted for reclassification to Thaumiel.
The Project will be delegated solely to Site Directors attached to the Project and the lead research team, the Site-34 Pataphysics Division.
All events related to the anomaly shall be covered up and/or deleted from the memory of staff members and civilians. Records of subjects eliminated by the anomaly shall be erased and surviving subjects of the anomaly shall be amnestied.
If you meet all of these requirements, you may proceed with Project Testeo.
Sincerely,
O5-8, SCP Foundation Overseer

SCP-ES-132-B again vocalizes other words, "You're just stressing me out, why don't you just die, please!" Hernández replies, "i want to work for the Foundation, and contain SCPs". SCP-ES-132-B vocalizes cries of despair and deploys a memetic kill agent that eliminates Hernández and subjects near him. The records captured the following vocalization coming from SCP-ES-132-B: "Ah bastard, you lasted so long. But at last".
"Professor José Hernández did not die during this event. Neither he nor the other observers. In fact, they went into a state of rest that almost killed them. However, Prof. Hernández has applied again, this time to a so-called Facility-57. It is now known that he was accepted, but was expelled after a few weeks. He has been registered at various Foundation facilities beyond the American and Spanish-speaking ones, namely Greek, Italian, French, German, Polish, among others. Its whereabouts are currently unknown. Reclassified as an anomalous entity due to these events." — Archivist Borja Dowell.

Greetings, Rick,
I will be absent for the next week. I have asked for a break and it has been accepted. I can finally rest from these blessed applications. I am notifying you in this regard to remind you that my research on the M3 Field for your research on the pseudo-psyche of objects will be delegated to my head assistant. Any notifications you wish to make, please send them to my assistant.
See you soon.
Hello Richard,
I will be absent for a week. A break. Recently I've been going crazy with the requests from newbies, they are getting more and more unbearable. For some reason I found an SCP that talks about anomalies in applications. Wow, I hope it's not me, you know? It's funny that the SCP says there's a wall killing them, sometimes I think I'm the wall. You know, sort of a barrier for the fools. Pretty comical (and ironic) that the article says it too…yeah, I always think about killing those bastards, they don't seem to have the least bit of brains.
Anyway, good luck.
Hey Andrés!
Please, I need help, explain me, this is very strange. A while back I had found a file detailing all my actions as an administrator in charge of applications. Is it, am I really killing these people? Me, am I killing them with my hatred? I don't get it.
I have kept myself at bay by trying to research them, I modified an article that I thought was stupid regarding the dates, as it is 2019, and it appears that yes, my suspicions were true. You guys are in an inferior narrative.
I am puzzled. You guys seem, so real. I have no idea how I can interact with an inferior web-hosted narrative without them not being just static text. There has to be some answer, come on! I know you can help me from that side.
I guess now I'm a pataphysical anomaly helping them in your work, wow, and to think that I can remove and modify part of your narrative in the blink of an eye. I don't think it will ever happen.
Anyway, I hope you don't mind the fact that you now know I'm more than just an anomaly. You probably even knew it before I did. Funny how I didn't see while this draft was being created and how these email addendums are filling in as I write in them.
See you.
Hi Blanca,
I know you've been dead for a long time, but… now I know, I can revive you, I can… make you come alive again. I, I can rewrite you.
Yes, I'll do that, for old time's sake! Just this once.
and that's all i wrote.
