Item #: SCP-███
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to SCP-███ has been bricked up. SCP-███ is to be repaired if it becomes so weathered that entry or sight of the interior is possible. Only 'Pataphysics Department personnel of Level 3 and above are to know of SCP-███'s existence.
Description: SCP-███ is a large mausoleum located in Site-██'s on-site cemetery. The building is constructed from severely weathered stone and bears no external distinguishing features. Its only access point is a rusted iron gate at the center of one wall. When the object was first discovered, a tarnished brass plaque emblazoned with the words "Department of Abnormalities" was affixed to this gate.
It is not known when SCP-███ was constructed, or by whom.
Beyond the entrance gate, a hallway extends for approximately 10 meters before opening into a larger room. There are six small burial chambers along each side of the hallway, each behind a stone door. Some of these chambers contain an undecorated stone sarcophagus, roughly 2 meters long and .75 meters wide and high.
Each door is engraved with a name or other moniker that presumably describes the contents of the room behind it or the sarcophagus within. These labels and the contents of the associated rooms are as follows:
Door Engraving | Contents | Notes |
---|---|---|
“The Curse” | An overturned rowboat made from an unidentified black wood. A large spike of electrum penetrates the hull near its center. | The name "Vampyre" is painted on both sides of the prow in faded red paint. |
“Hell” | A sinkhole has seemingly opened beneath this chamber. Its horizontal dimensions are approximately those of the burial chamber, but its depth is unknown. | An inscription is visible on the interior wall of the sinkhole several meters down, but it is illegible at that distance and angle. |
[illegible due to damage] | Room is entirely empty. | Area smells faintly of fish. |
“The Devil Machine” | A sarcophagus containing a complex, heavily rusted clockwork device of unknown function. | Rust has rendered all components immobile. |
“Promethean Alloy” | A stack of 120 ingots of an unidentified gray-green metal. | Ingots were heavily tarnished. |
“Lilith” | Sarcophagus containing the desiccated remains of an adult human female wearing the standard uniform for humanoid SCP objects. Bone growths resembling vestigial wings extend from the shoulder blades. | Tongue was removed before death. |
“Jack” | Sarcophagus containing the desiccated remains of an adult human male wearing casual clothing. Individual was castrated before death. | A heart shape surrounding the letter "J" has been carved on the outside of the sarcophagus's lid. |
“Epon” | Sarcophagus containing the desiccated remains of an adolescent human female. Length of corpse's hair nearly exceeded its height. Nude. | A rosary is clutched in one of the corpse's hands. |
“PSR B0531+21”1 | unknown | Door cannot be opened. |
“Mr. Brass” | Sarcophagus containing a large assortment of mechanical parts, consisting mostly of brass. Parts appear to be the components of a humanoid automaton. | Reassembly is impossible due to extensive damage and degradation. |
“Job 10:10”2 | Empty sarcophagus. | The crypt door and sarcophagus were both open when discovered. |
“Things Lost” | Room is empty. | There is a small hole in the rear wall. It has been plugged with concrete. |
The room at the end of the hallway is square, roughly 7 meters on each side. A large stone tomb stands at the center of the room. On the top of the tomb, the following has been engraved:
A memorial for the remembered
atop a grave of the forgotten.
All attempts to access or view the tomb's interior have failed.
