SCP-4004: “A Dream Come True”

Item number SCP-four zero zero four.

Object class, Thaumiel.

Classified level five, top secret.

Special containment procedures.

The number of personnel with knowledge of SCP-four zero zero four should be kept at an absolute minimum.

SCP-four zero zero four is accessible via one point eight kilometer long tunnel connected to Site zero two.

It is contained twenty-five meters beneath Arlington National Cemetery in a maximum security containment chamber measuring one hundred and fifty meters by ninety-five meters by six meters.

Any chamber used to contain SCP-four zero zero four must be built to withstand sustained assault from both conventional and esoteric weaponry, as well as natural disasters.

Details regarding SCP-four zero zero four's containment chamber are available to level five/four zero zero four engineers and maintenance technicians only.

Any disruption of SCP-four zero zero four constitutes a potential breach of the Veil Protocol and must be addressed immediately.

Additionally, once per month, the SCP-four zero zero four research group will assess trends in SCP-four zero zero four's functionality and propose alterations as necessary to maximize long-term stability and efficacy.

Any materials or anomalies deemed necessary for either of these goals must be given level five transfer priority and be delivered to Site zero two within no more than one day.

Repair, maintenance, and modification of SCP-four zero zero four may be accomplished by introducing the necessary materials to the containment chamber.

No interaction with SCP-four zero zero four itself is required or permitted.

Personnel should take care not to look directly at SCP-four zero zero four or acknowledge any speech it produces.

Doing so will result in disciplinary action, amnesticization, and reassignment.

Maintenance of SCP-four zero zero four requires daily delivery of the following materials: one hundred and fifty kilograms of wet clay, twenty kilograms of pure gold bullion, three liters of human blood, three kilograms of soil from Washington, D.C., one hundred milliliters of cerulean paint, forty milliliters of blood from the sitting president of the United States, a hand-carved jack-o-lantern, the most recent issue of The New York Times, three feathers of a male Indian peafowl.

Description.

SCP-four zero zero four is a device constructed by the American Secure Containment Initiative, a foundation precursor, to serve the interests of the United States of America.

SCP-four zero zero four consists of a variety of mechanical, electronic, biological, and thaumaturgic mechanisms that connect and regulate approximately one hundred and fifty anomalous objects acquired by the ASCI over the course of the organization's existence.

No full schematic of SCP-four zero zero four exists, and most detailed information regarding its exact functionality has been lost or destroyed.

Several components of the anomaly are detailed in addendum four zero zero four dash A. SCP-four zero zero four directly influences consensus reality by way of noosphere alteration.

Specifically, SCP-four zero zero four alters the ease with which particular ideas regarding the United States and its activities can be recalled, expressed, or contextualized.

No transmission of information is involved in this process, thus no conventional form of shielding blocks the effect.

Ideas such as the United States is destined to expand into North America, any American can prosper if they work hard, the United States won the space race, and the United States champions human rights are much more widely accepted than they would be otherwise.
