SCP-505 │ Ink Stain │ Keter │ K-Class Scenario SCP
Item #: SCP-505
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-505 is contained in a 50 m x 40 m x 10 m room at Site-██. SCP-505's containment area is to be sealed other than one secure airlock and a series of pipes allowing transport of SCP-505-1 to storage tanks in the event of SCP-505-1 reaching levels in which it poses a danger to containment. Sprayers for 4 M NaOH are to be available through SCP-505's containment area and the rest of Site-██ to combat a containment breach. In the event of a spill of SCP-505-1, the affected area should immediately be covered with an absorbent material (commercial blotting paper is currently standard for this purpose) and doused with alcohol or acetone if NaOH is not immediately available. NaOH immersion is the method of choice for SCP-505-1 containment, followed by incineration of affected material if practicable.

A lot of people are arguing for this to be classified as Euclid, but I believe that a classification of Keter is actually *too* soft. SCP-505 is physically impossible to permanently contain. As described, any container must be repeatedly emptied. Unless the foundation is capable of safely ejecting exuded SCP-505-1 into literal space, which poses a wide range of it's own risks, this should be potentially classified as Apollyon. There is no way with Humanity's current technological capabilities, anomalous or not, that the spread of SCP-505-1 can be permanently halted. Eventually, a large-scale containment breach is garaunteed, and when this occurs, it will almost certainly lead to a K-Class event. It is, by definition, uncontainable, and eventually will produce the end of the world.
I agree after all you don't want to eld up like the universe at the other end of the infinite bag of potatoes
""""Standard ink-removing chemicals are able to partially remove SCP-505-1 and inhibit its spread""""💁♂️
@Joroc “partially remove” =/= “totally remove”. “Inhibit” =/= “prevent”.
Even their best procedures achieve only Partial containment at best. :/
@@joroc they talk several times about how it's about Slowing it down as much as possible, not stop it
@@joroc Key word; partially.
There is no way this is anything less than a keter. if you’re going off the standards of “difficulty to contain”, OR going off the standards of potential risk to human/other life, this is ABSOLUTELY a keter. This essentially a lethal, self replicating disease with a near 100% fatality rate that cannot be permanently contained. Easily one of the most dangerous series 1s
I love how every comment under this video is people frantically trying to justify the Keter classification lmao. By this logic, the Shy Guy should be Keter as well; certainly deserves it more than this bland SCP.
@@KevinJohnson-cv2no a self replicating disease that can contaminate any non-absorbent surface is much more dangerous to global normalcy and life than a single entity that likely has no publicly accessible photos and can be nullified by a bag on it's head. Especially because anyone who has had photo of 096's face in the past probably died before they could leak the photo.
@@KevinJohnson-cv2no What logic are you referring to? Shy Guy doesn't deserve Keter at all.
@@KevinJohnson-cv2no the classifications are related to difficulty to contain the scp mostly. Shy guy is easy to contain just prevent anybody from ever seeing him. Unless there are pictures out there of him. Which will soon be destroyed. Doesnt matter how "bland" this scp is to you. This poses a greater threat to humanity than shy guy because if it's near impossibility to contain. Scp dont get a keter classification because they're exciting
@@logankowalyk2580 i don't think Kevin was using his head
Call me the old fashion boomer that is in me, but _this_ is what i love about SCP. No super dimensional death gods that can end all life in seconds just because "they can" in which you need an hour to explain what tf it's about. This is a creepy unnerving thing the foundation can't explain. It be interesting to see more of the SCP 100~999 that people have yet to cover! (Also I agree with 505 having Keter Class) Awesome content as always Volgun!
YEP I'm in the same boat. Simpler SCPs for me.
I feel like in later SCPs, the authors are constantly trying to one-up each other and make the craziest, most mind-bending stories they can. So instead of just "spooky monster that eats people" or "seemingly harmless but actually dangerous object," you get really wild, elaborate, intentionally confusing and esoteric effortposts. It often feels like the author is doing it not to entertain but purely to impress. It's just... idk, that kind of "no, THIS is the craziest one yet... no, wait, THIS one is!" stuff gets tiresome after a while. Sometimes it's nice to go back to basics.
@@i.l.l.l.l. Well said! And with better grammar! I don't want to discourage writers from telling their vision as they want it to be told but also like you said going back to basics can be a good thing!
@@i.l.l.l.l. "My guy is the strongest and baddest and best at everything!"
"No mine is!"
I think something is scarier when it seems less complicated. Or rather, less is stated about it, so we are left to imagine what the heck is going on.
Everyone saying “505 itself can be contained in a locked box, and 505-1 simply needs a giant box, with backup boxes in case of reaching full capacity; therefore this should be Euclid or Safe” seems to be forgetting that 1:38 says “there are [numerous] secondary contamination site, with variable containment status” and 1:50 says “# sites are unable to be fully contained”.
That alone says that this is Keter, as contamination outside Foundation sites has already happened, and containing such external contamination sites is proving difficult, if not impossible.
^ Indeed. If it was just the pen itself which could *potentially* create infinite amounts of ink if containment failed, I guess that could be open to interpretation? But the fact that there are already numerous contaminated areas (that they’re aware of) and full containment of even one is virtually impossible, and it’s constantly increasing... yeah, that seems pretty straightforward. I mean, even a single thing that is *impossible* to contain- with irreversible effects upon breach- I’m pretty sure that’s already pushing the limit. But multiple instances? If anything, that’s beyond Keter. That’s some full on ‘Shenanigans’ Level nonsense, if you ask me...
Not only that, but it can't really be contained in a sealed container for long, seeing as it will just make it burst like a balloon with a constant influx of air.
I get why people say Euclid, though in SCP 2006 the quotes at the end
"Keter entity, regardless of how innocuous it may seem. No, SCP-2006 is not a rampaging demi-god, nor is it a regenerating super lizard. However, it possesses the same level of danger as any other Keter that the Foundation has contained.
Think of SCP-2006's purpose. It wishes to scare people. Imagine what would happen if SCP-2006 broke containment, and found out what really scared people. Imagine if it saw the horror and fear of war, or the concepts of paranoia or phobias common to each and every human being.
Imagine if it found the true horror of a nuclear holocaust or an XK-Class scenario. Now couple that with an entity that possesses shape-shifting abilities with no known limits, and you'll understand why it's classified as Keter."
So what I'm saying if it gets out of control, it will be dangerous in order to get this liquid contained if they can. This liquid could spread quickly in areas of water, imagine the animals that would be consumed by the liquid, that is what I find this SCP to deserve the Keter class.
The class system isn't for the potential danger an object poses though its ease of containment which would make this Keter cuase it's impossible to do so.
I think 2006 would be a good example of “containment class: Euclid”, “disruption class: highest”, if it were to ever be adapted to the new classification system.
Containing it within a site doesn’t seem to be too difficult. But once containment is broken, all hell will break loose.
@@ravenbadger9108 Keter classes mean that the SCP is highly difficult to contain or almost impossible to contain. SCPs that are impossible to contain should be Apollyon
Box test. If you put it in a suitable box, and don't touch it, does it do anything? If so, Safe.
@@slamshift6927 I think the main issue I have is just... we don't have a suitable box. Sodium hydroxide and intense heat seems to neutralise it. So, make a giant furnace. Fill it with sodium hydroxide gas. The gas reacts with the ink, the intense heat burns the ink.
I thought keter designation was about the difficulty of containment, and it does seem that a better containment procedure would need to be designed before this could be downgraded to Euclid
The ink requires constant storage which will soon run out, theres no actual way to dispose of the stuff
Anything that replicates and cannot be prevented from doing so, especially if it doesn't conserve mass, should be keter.
@@higgsbonbon yeah thats a good way to put it actually
@@higgsbonbon But if cremation of bodies is considered enough to make it safe enough to consider the bodies neutralised, you could just... put it in a forge. Like, permanently keep it in a forge.
pretty sure all rankings are based on box theory, or whatever it was called
I mean, if containment class is defined as "difficulty of containment" then yeah, this is Keter. We literally need to keep getting new vats to contain this stuff in. We WILL run out of material eventually so, this SCP basically has humanity on a death timer. Unless we can eject all of it into space.
Which is what I'm proposing. Shoot all this into space. However, please shoot it in as empty a part of space as possible. Better it not come into contact with any stars/planets/black holes for as long as possible.
Anyway, fun video as always~.
dosnt stop it just makes in completly uncontrolable
It is yet to engulf earth in ink so it would take billions of years until we have a frozen ink planet, launching it to space is indeed the best course of action.
Launch it into the sun
@@theshambler6814 If that goes wrong say bye bye
i mean, the ink would likely freeze once launched into space. what happens then?
How is it not Keter, you have a constantly increasing amount of SCP-505-1, which requires storage and drainage. Which in turns exponentially increases the need for storage, drainage and monitoring of the substance, until the very reasonable point in which the foundation is unable to construct storage space fast enough or the planet simply runs out of space.
This is not accounting for what a single drop could do if it ever reached any water source, ground water etc etc, requiring an inordinate amount of manpower assigned to simply look for new instances of 505-1. Fulfilling every requirement of Keter; Being an absolute bastard to manage.
I would concur.
@@spaceenthusiast4836 mm infinite fire pit. we need another centralia or that one hell hole in whatever former soviet country that's in.
@@spaceenthusiast4836 if burning fully worked to destroy it, it would essentially pass the box test and be safe or euclid. burning reduces the amount that has spread and how do you plan to burn contaminated water? its on the top end of euclid or bottom end of keter. basically there are countermeasures to constantly reduce it; but nothing in the article states that the source can be completely eliminated, leading to the possibility of a global toxic event. the weird part of this old scp is that the pen itself has no unusual properties documented, but is logged as the source. There is no record of there being an attempt at destruction. So for some reason the foundation is going harder on secure and contain rather than protect again on this on.
it's about how hard the hard the item is to contain you'll find newer entries on the wiki will also have an item Class and a threat class too. After all a book that could rewrite reality when blood gets on it's pages is easier to contain than an autonomous ship millions of km away orbiting Jupiter
The classifications like Keter is less about being a bitch to contain, but about the threat it presents to humanity and normalcy, Along with its containment difficulty, and the Potential of its escape from containment. Yes, it would dangerous if it ever did somehow breach containment, but it can be recontained easily. So, unless it was air dropped into a large population center, it only serves as a moderate environmental hazard until it's been recontained and the area decontaminated. It is a pen that produced self-replicating ink. So long as you follow the containment procedures, it will stay contained.
I love listening to your SCP videos, you do a good job on them
based comment
@@guyviewer red pilled
Dr. Millar is a pro voice actor.
The whole mood, the setup, the image presentation. Pure gold standard
I really love SCPs like this, just simple anomalies that can end us all if handled wrong. I love the horror or existential SCPs but these ones just ooze creativity. Literally in this case
Dr. Miller, I believe SCP-294 could be of use in extracting this ink from affected individuals, provided the quantity is small enough. This would of course require containment procedures to be built up around SCP-294 to the same specification as SCP-505. We're interested in further discussing this proposal if you are interested as Site ⬛⬛ is currently low on containment funding. If you're able, we'd like to discuss the possibility of a partnership between operating Sites ⬛⬛ and ⬛. This could prevent SCP-505 from affecting key personnel, and may result in a positive outcome for both parties. Thanks for your time. You know where to reach me. Regards, ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
I imagine this would be a one off use, as using SCP-294 to dispense SCP-505-1 would likely contaminate SCP-294.
That
Is
Fucking
Genius
@@Retalak I concur, plus any non-porus material acts as a catalyst for another SCP-505 outbreak. Plus SCP-294 makes the best damn coffee in this office no way in hell are you putting ink in there.
@@Retalak I believe they were referring to the cups dispensed by the machine, as the paper cups were unaffected by materials that would normally destroy non-anomalous paper cups.
@@duncanmackay1215 But the cups themselves wouldn't stop the rapid growth of SCP-505-1, you'd need about a billion just to contain what we have now let alone what we'll have tomorrow.
My favorite part of the week. Like, literally, I look forward to it every week
I too cannot sleep without the cold embrace of audio from youboob
absolutely I checked like 3x today to see when itd come out
Hoho I’m certainly am glad I discovered this channel!
Same I live for these
it seems to have been created by somebody attempting to create an infinite fountain pen, which is imo a pretty good idea! apparently they weren't very good at it though
No they were good at it, this is just one of those scenarios where you have to be careful what you wish for.
@@nerdlingeeksly5192 so a monkey paw senario
So they made the mistake of instead of making the ink cartridge produce Infinity ink they made the ink produce infinite ink which is obviously not what a person wants out of a fountain-pen because if everything is bleeding together that's not helping anything
People don't realize what infinite means so yeah if that's the case that canon Earth's s doomed, should have worked on some pen that refills only as much as it needs on its cartridge and can be cleaned with alcohol
@@kR-qj7rw not really I just feel like it should be destroyed since there are known ways of decontamination and neutralization. It's an example of an unintelligent object that should likely be just destroyed due to its danger and annoyance with containment
Someone at the post office: "I'm so goddamn tired of these pens running out of ink."
SCP-505 activating/becoming anomalous/coming into existence: "Hold my anomalous beer."
Always been loyal to your channel for SCP story content. Love the telling, vibe, and aesthetics. Always top tier in my mind
Also learn new things and words
a while ago, I mentioned how I was pretty hot/cold on the outros
and I must say you have gotten better at them volgun, I enjoyed this one
keep up the great work man, genuinely
I always forget you upload Sunday.
I always get excited when you do
I saw the notification for this one was absolutely beside myself with excitement! I almost couldnt wait to watch it ❤️ thanks TheVolgun ♥️
Thanks for the upload, Volgun!
Thank you for consistently finding SCPs that I'm not familiar with and are all interesting as well.
This is a hard one; but honestly? It's Keter. It's not something that can be kept in a locked room or standard containment locker, so it's not Safe. If it weren't for the constant generation of the stuff and the elaborate storage and breach protocols, it might have been Euclid. So, yeah. This is a Keter. Its difficulty in containment is just less kinetic and/or esoteric than usual. It's a "Boring Keter", the kind that will often have the worst containment breaches because of complacency.
Glad you're pumping these out on the reg again king
Thanks for always coming through with great work 🙌
Since Keter refers to containment difficulty, a ink substance that continues to grow larger and larger with no means of neutralization definitely deserves Keter
Breaking second law of thermodynamics is always scary.
You really put a lot of effort into these videos, it shows off your skills as a voice actor well and you deserve recognition for it. Keep it up man. 👍
Amen. Great stuff: immersive videos about awesome stories, of reasonable lengths, delivered deadpan by a really cool voice.
Best SCP channel hands down
So I watch your videos at the end of the day and often fall asleep halfway through. I love your content!... just have to watch it a few times to get a full viewing😅... this video? 3rd times a charm! Lol
I just realized something horrifying: if SCP-180 (The Incomplete Chronicle) ever came near SCP-505, then it would have a limitless supply of ink with which to fill its pages and thus rewrite history.
If we're talking infinities ANY of the anomalies are dangerous especially those with interactions.
I.e. the red pool SCP 534 ever came in contact with another dimension related anomaly and combined with it.
Imagine the red pool a gateway to a dimension unbelievably inhospitable to human life and sentience in general and expose it to what amounts to a virally spreading dimensional breach in the form of a fountain pen.
I was thinking of this and the water that does the exact same thing as the ink only exploding people rather than poisoning.
I think you mean SCP-140. SCP-180 is a hat.
Hmm, the only good thing about by my birthday falling on a Sunday this year. New Volgun video!
I gotta og grab myself a coffee, like yo uhave, and catch up on hours worth of videos. Much thanks, Volgy!

I like this type of scp content
Great work
Reminds me of asdf movie where the one guy is like "ah man I spilled my milk" "you fool you've killed us all!" and the milk just keeps rising in height
Being as they have some control over this one might think Euclid. Unfortunately this ink is dangerous and easily get out of hand. There is also mention of areas other then main site. Unless better containment can be developed the object should remain keter.
Addendum: I know the idea of a pen with endless ink sounds useful. Imagine a pen that never ran out! Unfortunately this is what happens if something like this leaks. Worst thing is the ink spreads on its own. Whoever made this really didn’t think this through!
Dr. Z42
Just what I need to listen to while studying
This is definitely a keter. It's not even contained.
This is the Monkey's Paw answer to wishing for a pen that never runs out of ink.
present! and back in class, doc.
Just got off my shift
WOOOO new scp video!!
This may sound rude, but I always use your videos to fall asleep, your voice is really calming 😂
: I think this one is a Keter threat level. The trick is that it’s really slow and not some kind of extra dimensional invasion, planet-busting action-horror adventure.
Keter isn't a threat level, it's a containment level. A button which destroys the world can be put in a box and left on a shelf. It's Safe. A skip that randomly teleports itself to a random person's living room every Wednesday and just says "hi" to them, and nothing can stop the teleportation? That's Keter.
I'm a simple man, TheVolgun uploads I like and comment.
i think this may in fact be a keter threat. the keter assigned class refers tk the dificulties of containment yes? so this is hard to contain and so its keter. further I'd say it is also very dangerous, it has the ability to theoretically kill the entire earth ecosystem.
The Keter classification on this one makes me think of SCP-2006. It's not Keter because it currently is world destroying, but rather it's Keter because of its potential. I think it was an SCP-made definition, but a sort of explanation for what "Safe" is in the Foundation is like how a bomb that's not armed and sitting on its own is safe. Think of this SCP in that manner. SCP-505 is like a nuclear bomb that has a core that's constantly reproducting uranium, perpetually nearing criticality, and constantly needs to be emptied of uranium.Yes, it's sitting on its own, not bothering anybody, but what if we forget about it and leave it for just a little too long?
Safe: You can put it in a box
Euclid: You can build a box to put it in
Keter: You have to keep putting it back in the box
Apollyon: It either can't fit in the box, or it will inevitably eat the box.
I can understand why its considered Keter. Even though it is a simple broken pen with unending ink, sometimes its the tiny things that can just end the world. Not with a sword to your gut but with a pen and its ink omO
That aside awesome job man, fluids are always tricky to get right so well rendered :D
You could say that the pen is mightier than the sword XD
Ah, another favorite 👌💯
Thank god I found someone who's actually good at readings 😁
Man I got so excited when I saw this🙏🏽🙏🏽
Would you ever consider posting these as Podcasts on platforms such as Spotify for listeners on the go? I would love to listen to these on long drives and such without downloading whole videos. Keep up the great work!
Spotify traaaaaaaaash
@@cpt.taselbymc8400 no
He did post a few episodes on Apple podcast but then he stopped. Don’t know why, but probably not enough traffic.
i feel like the origin of this anomaly is that someone tried to make an infinite ink pen but experimented on the ink not the pen and made infinite ink

If I had a quarter for every self replicating scp that can lead to an xk class escenario I’d have lime three quarters which isn’t much but it’s still weird
Love the videos on the 001-999 series of SCPs
i remember this! omg i love his one
Yeah, the purpose of Object Class is how manageable is containment. Keter: It can't be contained (Imagine a single song on the radio that will play no matter what happens, changing the station does nothing, and it can happen anywhere in the world. Automatic Keter.) Euclid: Through decent effort, it can be contained. Safe: It practically contains itself or has no spreading features. Thaumiel: It helps you contain other things. (Which is why I think that man made time travel device you did a while back shouldn't necessarily be classes as thaumiel, but that's for another day.)
By that logic, this is keter. It is continually expanding and can contaminate a location which requires special resources to remove or maintain.
That's not really Keter. The document lists tons of ways they neutralise this ink. One of them is just "mop it up, then burn the mop."
@@TheHazelnootBut the ink is unending
"NK-class end-of-the-world scenario"... "NK"... which you'd probably pronounce almost identically to "ink". nice subtle humor, scp author.
Qell darn I was writing a scp about a coffee cup that when knocked over spills the Atlantic Ocean worth of coffee but after listening to this one I feel like the idea was done better and is way more terrifying
If it was just the pen itself which could *potentially* create infinite amounts of ink, I guess that could be open to interpretation? But the fact that there are already numerous contaminated areas (that they’re aware of) and full containment of even one is ‘impossible’... that seems pretty straightforward. I mean, even a single thing that is *impossible* to contain, I’m pretty sure that’s already pushing the limit. But multiple instances? If anything, that’s beyond Keter. That’s some full on ‘Shenanigans’ Level nonsense, if you ask me... but that’s just my opinion, man...
this SCP seems to sum up the phrase the pen is mightier than the sword
Proposition: Put SCP-184 in a box, strongest metal we can make it out of, opens only from the top, place SPC-5051 in box after about a year, along with all contaminated material known. Lower box deep into the very center, the open area, of SCP-087. Seal door permanently.
I thought I remembered its containment procedures being hung above The Hungry Bag© so it basically just ripped into extra dimensional space monster thingy. Because the foundation uses that dispose of toxic waste anyway.
Scp 505’s classification is best at KETER. This is because while there is a “death timer” for the foundation, last resort options like dumping the ink into other realms like SCP-860, 024, 106, and much more. It is not Apollyon, there is options to the foundation. But that doesn’t change just how insanely difficult this anomaly is to keep in its box.
This explains alot. So i had 505 in school as pen. It always leaked. Always.
Dr. Miller, as it stands, SCP-505 should stay Keter due to its XK scenario capacities. It's no different from why SCP-2006 is labeled a Keter. No matter how harmless or straightforward an anomaly seems to be, it can still bring about the world's end. However, if you have any containment ideas you wish to share with the containment specialists, please send a detailed letter of your thoughts to [REDACTED] at Site-[REDACTED].
Sincerely, Dr. [REDACTED]; Head of Pens.
You forgot what keter means
@@fazehank5311 Well, this is why I’m only the head of pens
@@organchaos1039 I respect it
Well it IS Keter, since you can't just put in in a box and expect nothing to happen. An object doesn't have to be a murdermonster or a malicious god-like entity to be Keter.
It meets the closed box test for Euclid, it CAN be contained, but not without maintenance. Its not as difficult to contain as keter.
i love these older SCP's
This is absolutely a Keter class anomaly no matter how you slice it. Difficult to contain (which is really all Keter class is), AND presents a fundamental threat to life as we know it (some sort of K class scenario, which is a separate scale).
"If it's a 7-hour flight or a 45-minute drive..."
Special containment procedures: supplies of SCP 505-1 and appropriate pens will be sent to several hundred thousand freelance magazine writers , bureaucrats, paperback writers, political columnists and public relations people with the instruction that they produce their written materials using only the pens and the ink in them. It is estimated that the written bloviations created by these individuals will in fact use up SCP 505-1 fast enough that, despite its self-regeneration capabilities, it will be consumed in a matter of a few years. The writing paper used to contain SCP 505-1 then can either be incinerated to generate electricity or recycled into new paper.
Yes, well it's obviously a Euclid, except for all the ways it's absolutely a Keter
It’s like an artificers shoddy first successful attempt at making a “never ending magical pen!” I mean, yeah, TECHNICALLY. That or something you’d get from a monkey paw wish.
Finally, this plus SCP-4246 is the answer to what caused the evolution of Inklings in my Splatoon x SCP crossover fanfiction
I like the idea of a Euclid K-Class world ender. I wonder: are there any "safe" or "explained" K-Classes out there?
Has anyone seen a recent tech-horror Netflix film called "Choose Or Die"? The SCPF was not referenced in any way, but the film felt very much like it was inspired by the SCP mythos. Would be interested to hear others' opinions on this.
SCP-505
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-505 is contained in a 50 m x 40 m x 10 m room at Site-██. SCP-505's containment area is to be sealed other than one secure airlock and a series of pipes allowing transport of SCP-505-1 to storage tanks in the event of SCP-505-1 reaching levels in which it poses a danger to containment. Sprayers for 4 M NaOH are to be available through SCP-505's containment area and the rest of Site-██ to combat a containment breach. In the event of a spill of SCP-505-1, the affected area should immediately be covered with an absorbent material (commercial blotting paper is currently standard for this purpose) and doused with alcohol or acetone if NaOH is not immediately available. NaOH immersion is the method of choice for SCP-505-1 containment, followed by incineration of affected material if practicable.
There are currently ██ instances of SCP-505-1 points of secondary contamination outside SCP-505's primary containment area. Containment in these areas is variable but efforts have been made to make procedures as similar to those of the primary site if possible. Of these secondary contamination zones, █ are unable to be fully contained at this time resulting in the spread of SCP-505-1 throughout the environment. These sites are to be monitored at all times and countermeasure development is of the highest priority. For a complete list of SCP-505-1 secondary containment sites, see Document 505-14A-███.
Description: SCP-505 is a Model ████ Faber-Castell fountain pen, produced in 2001. For documentation of its acquisition by the Foundation, see Addendum 505-2. It is identical in all respects to a standard fountain pen apart from its association with SCP-505-1. SCP-505-1 is the black ink produced by SCP-505, which exhibits the property of self-replication. SCP-505-1 spreads at a variable rate, affected by the substance it comes into contact with and the amount of SCP-505-1 present. Quantities of SCP-505-1 have been shown to increase at rates between 0.5 and 540 mL per second. Standard ink-removing chemicals are able to partially remove SCP-505-1 and inhibit its spread; however, sodium hydroxide is necessary to remove SCP-505-1 contamination completely, and has shown to be ineffective in environments with particularly high SCP-505-1 concentrations. Fortunately, the growth rate of SCP-505-1 appears to be inversely proportional to its quantity at high concentrations. Whilst the observed effects of this are negligible in most cases, this inverse growth phenomenon provides the only explanation for the partial containment of SCP-505-1 despite a number of cases of large-scale environmental contamination which were projected to otherwise lead to an NK-class end-of-the-world scenario.
Whilst SCP-505-1 exhibits no unusual properties other than its constant spread and partial resistance to removal, it nonetheless poses serious difficulties for control. SCP-505-1 will flow across non-absorbent surfaces and pass through porous surfaces in an identical fashion to normal ink. All liquid or solid objects or beings in contact with SCP-505-1 will be contaminated. SCP-505-1 will still adhere to non-porous surfaces such as metals, but newly produced SCP-505-1 will constantly flow off. Non-porous materials are thus catalysts for SCP-505-1 spread and all SCP-505-1 contamination should be covered in porous materials such as blotting paper for this reason. It is not possible to permanently contain SCP-505-1 in a non-porous container as said container's contents will gradually increase in quantity, leading to increased pressure and subsequent rupture. All containers being used to contain SCP-505-1 must therefore be drained periodically to prevent a containment breach.
SCP-505-1's effects on its environment are identical to those of an equivalent quantity of standard fountain pen ink. SCP-505-1 exposure will inevitably lead to the death of living organisms; plant matter will be killed due to inhibition of photosynthesis, whereas animals will be killed due to chemical poisoning. In humans and other mammals, SCP-505-1 contact will most likely be via the skin, where it will spread until it reaches an orifice or a break in the skin and subsequently enter the vascular system through mucous membranes. SCP-505-1 will spread through the vasculature and have catastrophic effects on all organ systems it reaches, as it continuously replicates and is unable to be excreted by the urinary system. Cause of death is generally multiple organ failure, although in most cases affected individuals will be terminated and decontaminated prior to this. For containment procedures in these instances, see Addendum 505-1.
SCP-505-1 also has an increased rate of spread through non-viscous fluids such as water, as would be expected of normal ink. Any contamination of the water table with SCP-505-1 must be prevented at all costs, due to the potential for an NK-class end-of-the-world scenario. It is unknown whether SCP-505-1's aforementioned property of an inversely proportional rate of spread will manifest in fluids, as experimentation with such high quantities of SCP-505-1 is strictly forbidden. Thus, any environmental SCP-505-1 contamination in water sources must be met with immediate damming and drainage into storage tanks of all affected areas.
Addendum 505-1: Procedures for dealing with SCP-505-1 contamination in humans
Administration of multiple-dose activated charcoal has been shown to slow the progress of SCP-505-1 contamination in humans but is unable to halt the process. The only known methods of treatment for SCP-505-1 contamination in humans are by immediate excision of the affected area or continuous application of ethanol to an affected skin region. Topical ethanol treatment will not prevent the affected individual from transmitting SCP-505-1 to other surfaces and is thus highly discouraged except in the cases of essential personnel, in which case containment procedures must be observed as in all other sites of secondary SCP-505-1 contamination. In theory excision or amputation of affected areas would be the gold standard for treatment but contamination of surgical instruments and personnel remains a problem. Therefore, all cases of SCP-505-1 contamination in humans other than essential personnel should be dealt with by termination followed by standard procedure of 4 M NaOH immersion and incineration of the remains.
Addendum 505-2: SCP-505 retrieval history
SCP-505 was acquired by the Foundation from the town of ██████ in Oman, when the town in question was quarantined by the Omani government due to reports of a black fluid beginning to seep out from the town's post office and causing the deaths of a number of its inhabitants. Fortuitously the arid and remote location of the incident prevented wide-scale environmental contamination of SCP-505-1. The Foundation retrieved SCP-505-1 with ██ casualties. No other anomalous properties of the town's post office or the town itself were detected. It was deemed necessary to terminate ████ civilian inhabitants of ██████ who were deemed likely to be contaminated. The incident was reported as a non-extranormal chemical spill.
Nah this is as Keter as it comes. Really can't be contained just...kinda...dealt with. Keter's appropriate.
the volgun scp video
There are so many of these object and entities that I don't understand why we wouldn't just shoot into space.
It would be interesting to know
what happens when the ink is
frozen. This could give potential
insight into how it reproduces too.
If it is toxic and you can't turn it off then yes it is possibly world ending. I would suggest reaching out to the wanders library perhaps they would know how do undo the is back joke of Jinn wish. (I wish my pen would stop running out of Ink)
It should definitely stay Keter. Imagine a single drop finds its way into the ocean. There are many, many ways it could happen, and it would be an absolute disaster.
Or even worse, it seeps into the ground water
Yeah, but assuming you put it in a room with no access to water, that suddenly isn't even a problem. The SCP itself is dangerous, but the neutralisation method is just "mop it up and slather it in Sodium Hydroxide" or even just burning it if the method used for corpses is any indicator.
Dr. As a fellow man of science as well as a man of results it is my professional opinion that SCP-662 could likely be used as a more efficient means of containment. The SCP in question has an uncanny ability to remove any and all contaminants with marked efficiency as well as the ability to recover from injury though it is hard to say what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object
yeah an update on the classes is due
do you have like a spotify podcast because i would love to listen to them on something like that. i just find it easier than youtube.
