Okay, this isn't an actual question but more-so a headcannon question.
It's like 'What do you think SCP-055 looks like and why it's here?' kind of question.
I personally think that SCP-055 looks like a giant icosahedron that's made out of brushed steel. The faces of SCP-055 are like thick panels, covering the inner workings of it. SCP-055 was made by aliens in order to observe the human race around it. It's actually been here long before humans even existed.
Feel free to share what you think.
Someone's butt
I laughed harder than I should have.
"You know, this will be the five hundred and eighth time I've told you all this story, so let's start out with some startling news you won't remember. These defenses are nice, but honestly you probably know as well as I do that they don't do jack. I mean, I can open the door basically any time I want, I keep it propped open just enough to make it look like it's locked, but that's beside the point. Now then, onto origins, I suppose.
I came to you people because I wanted to know what the hell was wrong with me, why nobody could remember me and why I practically don't exist. I mean, sure, it had its advantages, like being able to do practically anything without consequence, but after awhile the need for human contact just became too much. Even with my 'mysterious nature', I'm really surprised I was in the right place at the right time to find you people. I talked to your site director and convinced them of my…what'd they call them? Anomalous properties? Anyway, when I was able to tell your director all about his wife when he didn't even remember talking to me, he got a bit understandably freaked out. I think the fifty inch cement was a bit of overkill, but I still appreciate the gesture.
You probably don't remember how long I've been here. Hell, I don't even remember how long I've been here. I do remember around the twenty year mark I started to get annoyed at how little progress was being made, so I started to leave whenever I got the opportunity. Fooling you all wasn't hard, I could leave a freaking toenail behind and you'd still think you had the mysterious anti-meme on your hands. Despite my annoyance, I was really interested in your organization, picking up weird things off the streets and studying them for science. I liked that.
But then I saw the downsides. I saw how you all couldn't take certain risks for fear of exposure, for fear of media attention that you couldn't control. So that's when I decided to help. I snagged one of your radios and since then I've helped you put away more anomalies than you can count. That's right, I'm your Foundation's 'guardian angel' of sorts. I go out and I take the risks you can't afford to, and I help you bring these things in. Don't worry, I'm not going to go rogue entirely. After all, for what its worth, this cell you've put me in is my home.
No, no, that's fine, you're going to forget this conversation anyway. They always do, and at this point I've stopped caring. It's fine, really. I mean, I'm not all that important. In the end, I'm just a Nobody, after all."
If you posted this as a tale I would upvote it
Cryogenchaos, you're going to have to start collecting these mini-tales somewhere - they're too good to be lost in the depths of the forum.
I can save it if you want me to. I'll just send it to him if he wants to make it a full fledged tale.
Someone get a mop and a bucket of soapy water, because you're going to need to clean up the mess of blood & grey matter from blowing my goddamn mind.
I prefer to think it's Aaron Siegel.
…IiTs OkaYE…
Personally? I don't think SCP-055 actually exists. I think the actual anomaly is its containment chamber, which causes images of it to induce amnesia, making people believe it contains an anomaly.
…
That changes absolutely nothing, really. So the containment chamber is the anomaly. It's still containing itself, and is thus still an SCP.
It's a mirror. All those times they established it wasn't round? Skinny researchers staring into a rectangular mirror, confirming that no, they are not, in fact, round.
My headcanon is that SCP-055 is nothing but a crash test dummy.
When the foundation was first starting, they experimented with a few anomalous means of concealing other anomalies. They found a way to make people forget about all details of an item. So they tested it on a dummy. It was successful to a fault, and within a day everyone had forgot what it was and began believing it was an anomaly and contained it.
Less-serious headcanon: SCP-055 is Kellam from Fire Emblem.
Well, Kellam is my headcanon now. Thank you very much, Harriot.
A Scale model of the universe, that, upon looking AT it it causes a minor brain melt, causing an inability to remember.
Maybe it is actually a human. I do recall seeing a Tale about that being mentioned on TV Tropes a long time ago. Also, I had a dream a while ago that there were people that may have been SCPs in disguise. I had to ask them who or what they were, and one of them did not know, and I assumed that it may have been SCP-055!
