SCP-8967 at recovery
Item #: SCP-8967
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8967 is to be kept in a secure vault at Vehicular Site 132. Testing is indefinitely suspended per order of Site Director Jason Michael.
SCP-8967-A is to be monitored through a Rieux Unreality Accelerator, modified to be capable of locomotion. Further interaction with the inhabitants of SCP-8967-A necessitates authorization from at least one Level Three researcher.
Under no circumstances are personnel allowed to operate SCP-8967.
Description:
SCP-8967 is a white 2003 Toyota Camry, identical in appearance and composition to a non-anomalous car of the same make and model. SCP-8967 has Michigan license plates and minor damage to the rear window. The message found inside SCP-8967's trunk is available for viewing in Addendum 8967-2.
SCP-8967's anomalous properties manifest when a driver1 makes any change in lane or position without activating the proper turn signal. The subject will instantaneously disappear, and SCP-8967 will drive autonomously to an available parking space before shutting off. The requirements to trigger SCP-8967's effect are based on United States federal law and do not change state-per-state.
SCP-8967's effect will not trigger if the driver is:
- A minor
- Not legally able to drive due to drunkenness/disability/lack of a driver's license
- Currently enrolled in any driving safety course
Subjects affected by SCP-8967 will reappear in an extradimensional location designated SCP-8967-A. This displacement is accompanied by a feeling of vertigo and a sensation of rapid acceleration. SCP-8967-A is a space resembling the inside of a large, dimly-lit warehouse, covering an area of about 3km2. No indications have been found regarding the external geography of SCP-8967-A, and the walls have resisted all attempts to breach them.
SCP-8967-A is populated by 34 humans, identified as victims of a series of disappearances, the news of which led to the discovery and containment of SCP-8967. The subjects appear to be under the effects of a localized ΩK-Class End of Death Scenario, and are unable to age. It is believed that these humans triggered the effects of SCP-8967 before the Foundation discovered it.
The humans inhabiting SCP-8967-A do not require sustenance and act under a compulsion to roam their surroundings. Collective rest periods have been observed, occurring every 16 hours and lasting an indeterminate amount of time; wandering will resume immediately after the rest period has concluded.
Inhabitants of SCP-8967-A appear not to be aware of the presence of others until physical contact is made. Subjects tend to gravitate toward one another over the course of their wandering period, generally colliding and expressing displeasure. After these encounters, both subjects will wander in opposite directions and lose memory of the incident.
Several persons inside SCP-8967-A have developed severe injuries as a result of constant collisions with others, including concussions, broken bones, and lacerations. Subjects appear distressed by these injuries, but in all cases have not acknowledged the causes for them.
Recovery:
SCP-8967 was recovered in O█████, Michigan, after a series of disappearances involving the drivers of a Toyota Camry. Surveillance footage of the disappearance of █████ Frink alerted Foundation personnel to the anomalous nature of SCP-8967. SCP-8967 had initially been sold by a car dealership, which, on debrief, had no records of possessing any such vehicle. SCP-8967 had been sold 13 times prior to its recovery.
Experiments 2025-9 - 25
Attending Researcher: Dr. Jack Hart
Subjects: D-4983, D-3721, D-2234Test 1: While driving SCP-8967 on Site 132's testing course, D-4983 was instructed to make a turn without using a signal. No effect was produced. Later analysis discovered that D-4983 had his driver's license revoked due to outstanding unpaid fines while incarcerated.
Test 2: D-3721 was equipped with a standard tracker and clothing-embedded video camera. D-3721 was then instructed to make a turn without using a signal. The subject disappeared and could not be located through the tracker. No camera footage was received.
Log 3: The previous experiment was repeated, with D-2234 being equipped with a modified Rieux Unreality Accelerator capable of transmitting information superliminally and interspacially. D-2234 disappeared, and successful contact was made from within SCP-8967-A. The following exploration and interview log is available under Addendum 8967-1.
Addendum 8967-1: Exploration Log
The heavily damaged entity was determined to be ███████ Hendricks, who was acquitted of vehicular manslaughter charges involving two children in █/█/2021. Investigation into the possible purgatorial nature of SCP-8967-A is underway.
