Item #: SCP-BREED

Object Class: Yggdrasil

Special Containment Procedures: All entrances to SCP-BREED are to be sealed to the public, under the guise of environment testing or mining operation. New entrances to SCP-BREED are to be fully explored for any extra connections or escaped SCP-BREED-1 instances.

Any SCP-BREED-1 instance that scores higher than a 1.42:6 on the [Reasonable Plausibility] test are to be selectively bred until they number at least 1000 in population. Any such instances are to be removed from SCP-BREED and introduced to the appropriate local ecosystem on Earth.

Description: SCP-BREED refers to a massive extradimensional space accessible via a series of spatially tessellated caves located within a variety of environments throughout the world. These caves are all internally connected to one another, and originate in every known ecosystem and world region. To date, entrances to these caves have been discovered in the Amazon Rainforest, The Himalayan Mountains, various parts of Australia, several major faults along the bottom of all six oceans, Antarctica, the Sahara Desert, several volcanos in both Hawaii and the Philippines, and various cave systems within Yellowstone National Park.

SCP-BREED's primary anomaly manifests in the form of any two living entities being able to binarily reproduce with one another, regardless of species or reproductive method, within SCP-BREED. Creatures that primarily reproduce asexually are still capable of doing so, but are additionally capable of binary reproduction with any other organisms. How this is accomplished in unknown, as no biological anomalies or inconsistencies have been detected in any creatures before, during, or after copulation. All creatures within SCP-BREED are in and of themselves completely non-anomalous.

All offspring born in this way display traits from both of their parent creatures, despite biological redundancies or impossibilities. All of these offspring are completely fertile, and are capable of breeding with others without consequence. All entities within SCP-BREED appear to be aware of this effect. Given the choice, creatures within SCP-BREED choose to reproduce with creatures outside their species in 99.98% of cases. Whether or not this is a result of SCP-BREED increasing a creature's sapience is unknown.

SCP-BREED-1 instances remain fertile even when removed from SCP-BREED. Such instances are capable of reproducing with any creature that was present within 2-3 generations of their previous ancestry. Any offspring created during this process will resemble the non-anomalous parent significantly more than the parent SCP-BREED-1 instance. Any biological components not present in the non-anomalous counterpart will disappear entirely within two generations, regardless of any other residual SCP-BREED-1 traits, and they are at this point biologically identical to members of their non-anomalous species.

Addendum XXXX-1: Geography of SCP-BREED

SCP-BREED contains a single, supermassive mountain at what has been designated the center. The height of this central mountain is unknown, but it measures at least 75km in height, significantly taller than any mountains on Earth. Surrounding this central mountain is a large mountain range containing in excess of 100 distinguishable mountains, each of which is perfectly equidistant from the central mountain. This ring of mountains repeats as one travels away from the central mountain, each concentric disk being between 75-100 kilometers apart. After six iterations, these rings devolve into small clusters of 5-10 mountains that continue to repeat as distance from the central mountain increases.

All outlets into SCP-BREED are located atop a single mountain roughly 80 kilometers south of the central mountain. These caves are all interconnected internally, and separate into various thresholds that continue to aforementioned locations on Earth. Each mountain contains its own set of tunnels, none of which exit to Earth or any known exoplanet. These worlds are as of yet unexplored. All of the cave entrances directly face the central mountain.

These mountains additionally serve as walls between significantly different ecosystems. All known environments are present within SCP-BREED, and make up approximately 32% of the explored areas. The rest of SCP-BREED is comprised of environments and ecosystems not present on earth, with atmospheric conditions¹ varying greatly between them. These external ecosystems increase in frequency as one travels farther from the central mountain. Similar ecosystems are often directly intermingled, despite varying significantly in traditional location, arrangement, and vicinity to differing ecosystems.

SCP-BREED has a day/night cycle of approximately 26 hours. Despite a lack of a sun or any other major light source, SCP-BREED is well lit during the day, with light emanating uniformly from the sky. During the night a number of moons emerge spontaneously, randomly appearing in the sky at various intervals. These moons typically number between 2-17 on any given night, with a innumerable amount of smaller bodies orbiting between them. These moons additionally vary in size significantly, ranging from 1000 to 25000 kilometers in diameter. Each of these moons appears to emit their own light rather than reflecting it. To date, the same moon has not manifested twice.

Addendum XXXX-2: Discovery and first explorations

Initial Discovery Video Transcript

Date: 06/21/2012
Exploration Team: M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4 (Drone Pilot)
Subject: Unknown Spatial Anomaly, Designation: AU7-47665
Forward: On 06/20/2012, Foundation sensors detected the appearance of a spatial anomaly roughly 400 meters underground in a network of caves in the northern Amazon Rainforest. Following a seismographic search, the entrance to the caves was found and a small team was sent in to locate and explore the anomaly.

[BEGIN LOG]

Command: Begin preliminary equipment checks.

M-1: Mic is good.

M-2: Check

M-3: Check

M-4: Check. Drone is powered up and ready.

M-1: All clear, Command.

Command: Understood, you may begin.

The team enters the cave and begins to make their way down towards the spatial disturbance.

Several minutes of silence.

M-1: Command this is M-1 checking in.

Command: M-1 report, have you found anything yet.

M-1: We're about halfway to the site of the anomaly, according to the maps. But parts of the maps seem to be off. There are several offshoots displayed here that don't actually exist.

M-2: It's more than just that, these tunnels seem a bit too clean. No stalactites or stalagmites or anything. The walls are almost completely smooth.

Command: Understood, continue onward.

Several more minutes of silence.

M-1: Command, we've reached the area of the anomaly. It's just around the corner up ahead.

Command: We've confirmed your location on the sensors, M-4, deploy the drone.

M-4: Already two steps ahead of you on that one. Drone is deployed and mobile.

The drone rounds the corner of the cave and begins to head toward the anomaly. The surfaces of the cave appear to be covered in some kind of moss. The drone crosses the threshold of the anomaly.

M-4: Shit, I've lost the feed. Drone is down.

Command: Understood. Proceed with caution team.

M-1: Understood.

The team cautiously makes it's way around the corner and begins to approach the anomaly. The sides of the tunnel are glowing brightly around AU7-47665. No other anomalous properties are visible, with the tunnel appearing to continue on uninterrupted beyond the spatial disturbance.

M-3: I can see the drone, it looks undamaged. Still can't reach it M-4?

M-4: Still not receiving any signal, odd.

M-1 motions for the team to stop in front of the anomaly. M-1 picks up a rock and tosses it through the anomaly. The rock passes through without incident.

M-1: As far as I can tell no adverse effects due to passage. The rest of you hang back, I'm going to go through.

M-1 slowly walks forward, crossing the threshold of the spatial disturbance. M-1 looks around for a minute, then motions for the others to come through. The other members of the team cross the threshold and walk over to M-1.

M-4: I've got drone signal again, weird. Running diagnostics now. Yea, everything's working perfectly. No reason it should have cut out.

M-1: Command, we've passed through the anomaly, nothing unusual to report on the other side so far.

Silence.

M-1: Command?

M-1 crosses back over the threshold.

M-1: Command?

Command: What's the situation M-1? We lost contact with you for a minute. Is the rest of the team ok?

M-1: Everyone is fine. We crossed the anomaly, no adverse effects as far as we could tell. The area beyond seems to be just a continuation of the cave. You said you couldn't get any signal from us?

Command: Correct, seems we're dealing with a Type 3 Spatial Wormhole,² either Class B or C according to the current information we have.

M-1: Understood, how do you want us to proceed?

Command: Proceed however you see fit, but keep at least two of you at the anomaly to act as a relay.

M-1: Understood. M-3 and M-4, the two of you continue down the cave for a bit, see if it leads anywhere special or if it's just more cave for a while.

M-3 and M-4 nod and begin to proceed further into the cave. They round the corner and disappear from sight.

M-2: What do you suppose this moss is? I've never seen red moss before. It feels almost scaly to touch. And some of these stems sticking out are pretty weird.

M-1: Collect some samples for analysis back at the lab. It could tell us what's on the other side of this place.

M-2 nods and proceedes to scrape some of the moss off of the wall.

Several minutes pass.

M-3: We've reached an exit, I think. There's light at least.

M-1: Understood, stay where you are and send the drone out first.

M-4: You read my mind.

The drone moves forward towards the light. It exits the cave into a bright forest, apparently situated partway up a mountain. The drone drives up to a small drop a few meters in front of the exit and looks out. A massive mountain is situated several kilometers in front of the drone, the top of which is not visible. Surrounding the mountain is several hundred more square kilometers of forest in all directions. Flying above the forest several kilometers away is a large creature, appearing to be a multi-legged beluga whale with two pairs of massive butterfly wings. M-4 relays this information to M-1.

M-1: Damn, that's big. Return for now, we don't have the resources to mount a large scale exploration. Command, we're going to return to the surface, anything specific you want us to do down here first?

Command: We'll send a couple of you down later to set up a relay station across the entrance for future explorations. Hurry back for now.

M-1: Understood.

M-3 and M-4 rejoin M-1 and M-2. The team proceeds to make their way back up to the surface.

[END LOG]

Afterward: A small relay station was set up across the spatial barrier in order to allow above ground communications to contact the other side of the barrier and facilitate deeper explorations into SCP-BREED. The preliminary team returned to the surface and a team specializing in extradimensional explorations was brought in to further survey the area beyond the cave exit.

The samples of moss taken by M-2 were found to be very biologically similar to various mosses of the families Oedipodiaceae and Leucobryaceae. These samples additionally contained small strands of DNA belonging to Coccinellidae,³ Guaruba guarouba,⁴ and Cervus canadensis.⁵

First Major Exploration of SCP-BREED Video Transcript

Date: 06/27/2012
Exploration Team: MTF-Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats") members Z-4, Z-5, and Z-7, exploration specialist D-11424, D-49978, and D-32599
Subject: SCP-BREED
Forward: Following the discovery of the space on other end of AU7-47665, a team specializing in unexplored extradimensional location was dispatched to survey the environment on the other end of the cave, now designated SCP-BREED. The team consisted of three members of MTF Zeta-9 and three D-Class personnel who have experience with large scale exploration. The team was given three days of rations and supplies, in case they could not return within the allotted time of one day. Three small "Gardener" autonomous environmental sample collection drones and one arial surveillance drone were sent with them to be deployed once they reached SCP-BREED.

[BEGIN LOG]

Command: Begin preliminary equipment checks.

Z-4: Mic is good, drone battery is at full.

Z-5: Same as Z-4.

Z-6: All good to go.

D-11424: I think mine's on? This stuff is fancier than the stuff you gave me last time. Why can't a camera just have a single button that says On/Off, dammit. There are three lights, three lights I tell you.

Command: Oh for… Yes, we're receiving your feed 11424, you're good. Same for you too, 49978 and 32599.

D-49978 and D-32599 nod.

D-11424: Nice.

Z-4: Alright, move out.

The team heads into the cave and begins to make their way down to the entrance to SCP-BREED.

D-32599: So uh, what exactly is it we're exploring. All I was told is that there's a forest. I get the whole "Don't tell the D-Class things they don't need to know" schtick you guys got going but like, am I gonna die? If I'm just here to die I don't… I don't want it to be a surprise, ya know.

Z-5: This is the first exploration, so that's pretty much all we know. The first team just stopped at the entrance and peeked in, but as far as we know nothing dangerous is in there. Nothing but trees and some red moss.

D-32559: Wait you're telling me this is an entirely first time exploration‽ I've never been someone that literally no one else has been.

D-11424: Isn't it exciting? We get to be the first ones to see everything! We can claim ownership over all of it, and then charge the Foundy boys millions for it.

Z-4: That's not how it works.

D-11424: Bah, fine. But I get to claim any trees I piss on for myself. Those are gonna be my trees and I'm going to build a treehouse. Declare myself Emperor of SCP-whichever one this is at this point. You people have too many numbers.

Z-6: Are you always like this?

D-11424: What can I say, I'm hyped. I've seen some weird shit in my time with you people but every time I get sent out it just gets weirder again. I look forward to it every time.

The team turns a corner and enters the tunnel containing the threshold to SCP-BREED.

D-11424: See, like that. Magic glowing tunnel walls, that's cool as hell man. I wish I had a camera.

Z-5: You do.

D-11424: Oh shit right. Think they'll let me keep some screenshots from the recording?

Z-4: You can ask when we get back. For now just focus on the mission.

The team crosses the threshold into SCP-BREED.

Z-4: Command, this is Z-4 confirming the relay is functioning. Do you read me?

Command: We hear you loud and clear Z-4, no interference. Proceed as planned.

Z-4: Roger.

The team continues down the tunnel towards the entrance to SCP-BREED. They exit the cave and step out into a small ledge overlooking the forest below.

D-32559: Damn, that's big. Please tell me we aren't going to have to map that whole thing.

Z-6: Of course not, this is just a simple expedition. We're only supposed to be here for a day at most.

Z-4: Command, we've reached SCP-BREED, we're going to deploy the drones now. Confirm you're receiving their signal?

Command: Signal is confirmed, drones are active. Let them do their thing and you can collect them on your way back.

Z-4: Understood, where do you want us to head first?

Command: Try to find a way down the mountain, see what's at the bottom. Try to confirm any hostile lifeforms, but do not engage unless necessary.

Z-6: There's a rough path here, seems to head down. I'm no expert but it definitely doesn't look man made.

Z-4: We'll follow it down, it'll make it easier to find our way back without setting up too many beacons.

The team begins to follow the path down the mountain. Several minutes pass without incident. The team enters a small grove of multicoloured trees, the majority appearing to be covered in a variety of feathers instead of leaves. The branches of the trees sway around each other, despite a lack of wind.

D-32559: Oh damn, that's pretty.

Z-4: We aren't here to talk about pretty. Keep an eye on them while we move through, we'll try to grab a couple samples on our way back.

They continue down the path. More feathered trees begin to appear as they advance, several of which appear to be covered in glossy scales instead of traditional bark. A number of small insects can be seen to be congregating around these trees, apparently working together to remove sections of the feathers and carry them back to their nests. The team continues moving forward, stopping as the path begins to circle around a small pond.

Image from Z-6's body camera. Note the avian plant entity on the right, believed to be drinking from the pond.

Z-4: We'll take a break here for now. Do whatever you need to, we'll continue on in half an hour.

D-11424: Oh thank hell. I need to whizz something fierce. Nobody follow me I'm going over there.

D-32559: What happened to pissing on a tree to claim it as your own? I thought you were gonna be Emperor of this place, where'd the dreams go?

D-11424: Shut up, I'm not pissing on the magic feather trees. You saw how they were moving, they might retaliate.

D-32559: Heh, if you say so.

Z-5: Whatever you're doing, stay close.

The team breaks to rest, the majority of them staying in the small clearing. D-11424 travels a slight distance into the forest and Z-6 begins to circle the pond.

Z-4: There's no sun, but according to the shadows it's a little bit after noon. We'll continue onward for another couple hours and then start heading back. See if we can find anything notable.

D-32559: Y'know, when we came in here I thought it was going to be all horrors and nightmares. But nah, this place is nice. Sure it's weird, but it's really pretty. The weather's great, there's plenty of water. I honestly wouldn't mind coming here ag—[shouting] what the fuck‽

D-32559 scrambles away as the tree she was leaning on uproots itself. The tree turns, revealing a large eagle-like head formed entirely of wood. The rest of the tree shudders, and the branches spread apart into two massive pairs of wings. Z-4 and Z-5 draw their weapons, and the tree-bird entity screeches at D-32559 before turning and flying away.

D-32559: I take that back, I never want to come here ever again.

Z-4: Z-5, help me check the other trees for similar creatures. We'll keep moving once we know we're clear here, don't want anymore surprises like that.

Z-4 and Z-5 survey the area for any other tree-bird entities. D-11424 and Z-6 return, and the teem continues to travel down the path, circling the pond. The plant life along the path continues to change sporadically. D-49978 picks several flowers and holds them up to the camera to inspect them. The petals are made of a veiny translucent material resembling insect wings. The center of the flowers contain a singular compound eye, around which are three concentric rings of traditional flower stamens. These stamens sporadically wave over the central eye, giving the illusion of blinking. The team continues down the path uninterrupted for several minutes.

Z-6: Stop, do you guys smell that?

Z-4: Yea I can smell it.

D-11424: Oh wow that's horrid. Seriously, what the hell is that?

Z-4: Whatever it is, we're checking it out. Proceed with caution. Z-5, remain here to mark the path.

Z-5 nods, and the rest of the team heads left off the path into the forest. They walk for a couple minutes before locating the source of the smell, an unidentifiable corpse propped up against a tree. Several large mushroom-like growths are sprouting out of the carcass. A number of openings on the bottom of these growths constantly suck air into the plant, which is then expelled from a small collection of spouts on the top of their caps. Above each of the plants floats a large spore covered in dozens of root like structures that extend outward into the air around it, suspended by the air exhaled from the lower mushrooms.

Z-6: Anyone recognize that? Doesn't look like any mushroom I've ever seen.

Z-4: Given the precedent with this place, it probably doesn't exist outside. Damn, we should've brought a couple of the brains in here, they might be able to at least partially identify it.

D-11424: Yea that would've been a smart idea. Given that we didn't do that though, what the hell do you think the floating thing is?

Z-4: Some kind of spore, probably. Although given what we've seen elsewhere it might be a different plant entirely.

D-11424: I'm gonna touch it.

Z-6: That is a terrible idea.

D-11424: Terrible ideas are the best ideas.

D-11424 moves forward and reaches to prod the spore. As soon as his hand makes contact the roots whip around, wrapping around his arm and holding the spore in place. Z-4 and Z-6 spring forward and peel the spore off him, at which point it begins to slowly crawl over to the carcass.

D-11424: Ok, that was disgusting. Ugh, now my arm is all moist, what the hell is this stuff? Some kind of mucus?

Z-6: I did warn you. Wash it off and then we'll head back, we don't know if it's toxic or not.

D-11424: It doesn't feel poisonous, but then again, what the hell do I know about being poisoned?

D-11424 uses a water bottle to clean his arm as they head back to Z-5. The team continues down the path without further incident, encountering several small creatures resembling horned rabbits with six eyes and a large hexapedal bear with a gastropodic shell and a small entourage of identical babies with a small set of antlers and green fur, neither of which were hostile. After pausing for a while to take another break, the team turns around and begins to head back. The team has no more notable encounters, but several of the feathered trees seen on their way down were noticably relocated.

After arriving back at the entrance to SCP-BREED, Zeta-9 collects the drones and they proceed to make their way back to the surface.

[END LOG]

Afterword: Over the following two weeks the team was sent in a total of five more times, with relatively the same outcome. No major threats were found within SCP-BREED. A complete map of the area within 2 kilometers from the entrance was able to be compiled from the data collected by the arial drones.

The samples collected by the Gardeners revealed that the soil within SCP-BREED was unusually rich and fertile, capable of growing almost any type of plant regardless of specific nutrient needs. Plant samples contained DNA belonging to at least a dozen other plants and animals, and several small insects that were brought along displayed similar traits. The feather samples from the trees recorded during the expedition contained thick stalks of chloroplasts within their rachis, as well as a small coating of translucent scales along their base.

A small provisional research site has been set up outside the entrance to SCP-BREED.

I have to thank you again for this job, everything about it is amazing. I've gone into SCP-BREED twice now, and every time I do there's something new. It feels like the place is expanding. We've sent in several more expeditions, and have yet to encounter anything really dangerous.

We're currently making preparations to drill down to the entrance to make access easier, get some vehicles and larger drones in there. That should significantly speed up research once it's done. I'm not sure how the threshold itself works, if it's just connected to the tunnel walls and we can expand it or not, but we'll leave it alone for now.

We've collected a couple more samples from SCP-BREED, I've attached the details below. Nothing we didn't know before, seems our hypothesis was correct. Any two things can crossbreed, without regard for species, or even kingdom. We're waiting a bit before we run any hardcore testing, get a bit more of a foothold inside so we don't have to bring any animals out. I have no idea what they'd do to the ecosystem if anything were to escape.

We've got a small team of scientists working on naming everything, but deciding how to classify things is proving difficult. Currently we're just including a family named based on appearance and then just making it up as we go, but I suspect that once we get a firmer hold and start finding more samples we'll have to create a whole new classification system for what's in there.

Close Attachment

Sample Designation: XXXX-00001
Scientific Name: Leucobryaceae Ignallius Scerctia
Given Name: Red Featherhorned Moss
Appearance: Sample most closely resembles pin cushion moss, but is red in color. Each of the plant's stems is covered in a micro-coating of small feathers, with the leaves being comprised of two larger interlocking feathers. The base of the plant contains several small pairs of mandibles just above their roots, which the plant uses to consume any aphids or other small insect life that it can reach. The species appears to use a combination of photosynthesis and insect consumption to grow.

Sample Designation: XXXX-00002
Scientific Name: Podocarpaceae Clarapenna Veridicor
Given Name: Bright Feathered Spruce
Primary DNA Components: Pseudotsuga menziesii,⁶ Pinus sylvestris⁷
Trace DNA Components: Lophochroa leadbeateri,⁸ Turdus migratorius,⁹ Parus major,¹⁰ Xestobium rufovillosum,¹¹, and Varanus komodoensis¹²
Appearance: Specimens most closely resemble a Douglas Fir, but with vast amount of their leaves being replaced by dozens of small, multicolored feathers. These feathers contain stalks of chloroplasts along their central veins, and are capable of photosynthesizing over twice as quickly as non-anomalous plants. Specimens lack traditional roots, instead possessing a large beak like structure that digs itself into the ground, consuming insect life and water from the soil. The majority of samples additionally possess a coating of translucent, brown scales on top of their bark, the purpose of which is unknown.

Sample Designation: XXXX-00003
Scientific Name: Leporidae Cornitant Aranebus
Given Name: Western Spider Jackalope
Primary DNA Components: Sylvilagus floridanus,¹³ Tragelaphus strepsiceros¹⁴
Trace DNA Components: Argiope aurantia,¹⁵ Peucetia viridans¹⁶
Appearance: Sample bears the appearance of a rabbit, but is over twice as large as a traditional rabbit and possesses three large, slightly curved horns on the top of it's head, two of which sprout from just behind its ears. Each specimen has between six to eight compound eyes, with two being located on the back of their head and the remaining centered around their normal eyes. The entities possess a series of small hooves on the back of their hind legs, which they appear to use to bludgeon potential prey. Specimens are additionally capable of rapidly excreting small amounts of spider silk from an organ just above their mouths.

I'm pleased to hear you're enjoying yourself, but don't get too carried away. This is a large scale anomaly, and we need all the information we can get. Don't worry about collecting too many samples for the time being, focus on exploration and mapping. The sooner we can get a layout of the entire area the better.

There is no need to send me the information for every creature you come across, just upload it to the database. See if you can find a common factor, a singular ancestor, natural environment, or anything else. We'll worry about specifics once you've secured a greater hold within SCP-BREED.

You're competent, but don't overestimate yourself. Your current team is small, but I expect it to grow greatly in the coming months, be sure not to overexert.

I'm expecting great things from you.

The preliminary drilling is finished, we have a direct tunnel down to the threshold. I suspect that we'll be able to widen both the entrance and exit in the next month, probably enough to ship a helicopter or two in there. It's proving difficult to map the area with drones, something about the curvature is throwing them off. Or lack of curvature, I should say, as far as our calculations can tell it's just completely flat.

There's no sun in there, but it's still bright. Seems like the light just appears in the sky. It follows a day/night cycle of roughly 26 hours, but that seems to vary every time we go in. The moons are strange as well, I don't think I've seen the same one twice. They don't rise either, they just appear, when no one is looking. The night sky will be perfectly empty and then two minutes later there are six moons, or seven, or twelve, it changes every night. They seem to emit their own light rather than reflecting it, but still occasionally go through phases.

There's something watching us here, we can feel it. Every time we look at the massive mountain in the middle we can tell. Everything gets quiet. It's surreal. Once we get a base set up inside we're going to send a team up. Only problem is we don't know how tall it is, easily taller than any mountain on Earth. I'll have more information once we get the choppers through.

Still absolutely loving this job, there's something new to discover every day. If you're looking for long term deployment here I'd be glad to stay once everything is settled.

It's good to hear that operations are proceeding smoothly. Notify me once you've completed construction of the pathways so that we can begin explorations en mass. Once we get the gateways finished we can begin mining within SCP-BREED. I understand that it contains a plethora of natural resources. If we can utilize them that would prove greatly beneficial.

We've located two more entrances to SCP-BREED, one in the Himalayan Mountains and one approximately 8 kilometers underwater in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. We're sending a team into each of them, so don't be surprised when they come out into your operations. Send them back through your entrance when they're done, it's easier for everyone involved. While you're at it, send a couple more teams into the caves. It will be easier to locate entrances by finding where they exit then vice versa.

Keep up the good work.

Construction of the tunnels is done, we now have a fully outfitted route into SCP-BREED. We've gotten two helicopters in so far, and I think this is going to be a lot bigger than we originally thought it was. Over the last month we've surveyed an area of over 500,000 square kilometers, and there's still no signs that it stops anywhere soon. I know we originally just planned for a small scale mining facility with a couple provisional research stations, but I think that this has a lot more potential than that.

I've enclosed a number of documents regarding materials found within SCP-BREED, as well as records of various creatures that we believe are not of terrestrial ancestry. The other mountains, they all have their own sets of tunnels. I've only sent a couple small survey teams in, but so far we've determined that at least seven of the mountains around our outlet grant access to planets that are most definitely not Earth. I wanted to talk to you before I started large scale explorations, because we're going to need significantly more personnel before even considering it.

Given all of this, I think we're in need of a large scale facility. Either within SCP-BREED or somewhere very close to the entrance.

Addendum XXXX-4: Project Proposal Regarding SCP-BREED Facility Δ-Φ

Snippet From Quarterly O5 Meeting Transcript, Date 03/31/2013

Timestamp: 04:27:38-04:41:04
Subject: Construction plans with regards to SCP-BREED Site Δ-Φ

[PREVIOUS RECORDS REDACTED]
[BEGIN LOG]

O5-5: With the interdimensionally exploding walrus carcass dealt with, I'd like to move to the next item on the list. I'm assuming all of you are up to speed on the specifics of SCP-BREED?

O5-7: I've read over your proposal Five, and I can't believe you actually want us to consider this.

O5-5: I am well aware of you're reservations, Seven.

O5-7: You want us to spend millions of dollars building this facility, the size of which is only matched by two currently existing facilities. And you want us to do in inside a large scale anomaly, the majority of which remains unexplored. This is beyond foolish.

O5-2: Seven is right, this is unprecedented.

O5-9: Change is necessary. We cannot simply continue as we have been, it's not sustainable. I've read over the proposal and I support it, provided minor alterations.

O5-11: I agree with Nine, major changes need to be made if we want to continue as we have been. This is, all things considered, a small change. The facility might be large, but we don't need to hide it. That, paired with both the material and biological gains, significantly outweigh any potential losses. I would like it if we had more of the region explored, but at this point we have more than enough information for this to pass.

O5-7: This council was created in order to prevent things like this from happening. I might not have been here when you were founded, but do not intend to go against everything my predecessor stood for. We do not exploit anomalies. The second we start we become the very thing we have worked so hard to prevent.

O5-4: This is not an attempt to overturn everything your predecessor worked towards. She was one of the most vocal when it came to accepting change, but she never compromised her core beliefs of, and that was what killed her.

O5-7: She died saving people from a reality breach, if I can go out the same way I would gladly throw my life away. This facility will not do nearly as much as you say it will, and I fear it will only lead to worse abuse of the many aberrations we have locked away. I repeat, this is madness.

O5-13: Enough, Seven, this is going nowhere. Five, continue.

O5-5: Thanks you, Thirteen. Given that Seven is so adamantly against this, allow me to outline several of the major benefits we stand to gain from this proposal. First of all, raw material. SCP-BREED is home to massive deposits of minerals. Every element we know of has been located in at least trace amounts, and there are dozens more that are not present on Earth in the slightest, wether natural or man made. The potential these metals have for containment efforts is tremendous, and even if we can't fully recreate them, the alloys we can theoretically create would be tremendously useful in containing various Keter and Euclid class objects. This facility will more than pay for itself.

I'm sure you're all aware of the many caves within SCP-BREED. While mostly unexplored, we have done enough preliminary surveillance to confirm that each mountain leads to a location outside of Earth. SCP-BREED is a massive nexus of interconnected planets and universes. This alone should be more than enough cause to construct a facility. Transporting exploration vessels in and out of the small entrances we have is inefficient. We need a base of operations inside SCP-BREED, if only to use as a relay into the potentially hundreds of thousands of extrasolar environments. This is the best approach.

O5-1: Thank you, Five. We will vote on the proposal at the end of the meeting. On to the next subject.

Addendum XXXX-5: Overseer Inspection of SCP-BREED Facility Δ-Φ

O5-5 Inspection Of Newly Completed SCP-BREED Site Δ-Φ

Date: 05/22/2014
Forward: Video log of O5-5's first visit to SCP-BREED Facility Δ-Φ, escorted by Site Directors Ambridge Hightower and Maya Villarreal. Facility Logs are recovered from Δ-Φ's cameras.

[BEGIN LOG]

Hightower: Good afternoon, sir. I'm glad you could make it.

O5-5: Good afternoon to the two of you as well. I trust there were no complications during construction?

Villarreal: Nothing significant. We had a couple difficulties with some of the foundation placements, but after revising the plans a bit everything worked out.

O5-5: Excellent. I knew trusting this to the two of you was a good idea.

Hightower/Villarreal: Thank you, sir.

Hightower: Where would you like to begin, sir?

O5-5: No need to be so tense, Ambridge. I saw the plans. This is a mandatory formal inspection, nothing more. I'm only here to make sure nothing went horribly off-script.

Hightower: Got it.

The three of them enter the main building. The entrance is large, and mostly empty. Three large hallways split off from the entrance.

Villarreal: Since commuting would be impossible at this stage, there was no need for a main reception area. All workers are housed on site just to the left. To the right is the garage, all other hallways lead into the main part of the facility. Which would you like to see first?

O5-5: I'm assuming most people on site are currently working?

Villarreal: Most of them.

O5-5: Then let's start with employee housing, so as not to disturb them.

Villarreal: Got it, right this way.

They travel down the leftmost hallway, entering a secondary large building. A few employees are seen in the hallway and common area.

Hightower: Housing is separated into two parts. Researchers, MTF, technicians and the like are on the right, and D-Class are to the left. We currently have space for three thousand personnel and five hundred D-Class, but I don't think we'll need more than a couple hundred or so employees for a while.

Villarreal: The bottom floor here contains a cafeteria, laundry area, and a gymnasium. Each floor also has their own small rec area. Cameras in the hallways and all community areas.

O5-5: How about rooms?

Villarreal: Each room houses between four to six people. Two bathrooms, a fridge, and a small meeting area. D-Class are pretty much the same, but with heightened security, and a camera in the room.

O5-5: Any problems with supplies?

Hightower: All water is pumped in from a nearby lake, and we've started clearing an area for a couple of fields and greenhouses a couple kilometers away. Apart from the standard reactor the facility is solar powered. A year from now we'll be entirely self sustaining.

O5-5: Impressive. I had assumed it would take at least five years to reach that point. This place clearly has significantly more potential than we originally estimated.

The three of them travel back through the hallway into the main facility. Two minutes of unrelated dialogue has been removed.

Villarreal: Garage next?

O5-5: Unnecessary, I took a look on my way here.

Villarreal: On to the main facility then.

O5-5 nods and Hightower begins to lead them down the center hallway.

NEEDS FINISHING

Addendum XXXX-6: Nexus Node Exploration Outline and Investigation Reports

Addendum XXXX-7: Advanced Organism Analyses

Due to the impossibility of determining the standard classifications of creatures within SCP-BREED, as well as the ability of organisms with the same genetics to bear significantly differing appearances and traits, the following classification system has been created by the Parazoology Division for use within SCP-BREED.

Key
SCP-BREED-1	Standard anomaly identification. Not used within document.
ABH	Primary Characteristics - Based predominantly upon outside appearance and function.
LIGD	Secondary Characteristics - Characteristics not easily spotted upon first viewing, but that can clearly seen upon inspection and/or basic dissection. Both secondary and tertiary designations are non-mandatory.
FSR	Tertiary Characteristics - Characteristics that are not clearly identifiable without in depth dissection or extensive testing. Behavioral traits also fall under tertiary designation.
14124	Numerical Designation - Organisms are numbed based on order of discovery and shared designations, distinct samples may share the same number.

A - Organism is avian or displays avian traits.

B - Organism displays traits common to bacteria and other similar organisms.

C - Organism is crustaceous or displays traits common to crustaceans.

D - Organism displays traits common to viruses.¹⁷

organism template

Designation:
Primary DNA Components: Falco peregrinus,¹⁸ Rafflesia arnoldii,¹⁹ Equus ferus caballus,²⁰
Trace DNA Components: Thelenota ananas,²¹ Canis lupus familiaris²²

Appearance:

Designation: OG+X+B-17
Primary DNA Components: Carcharodon carcharias,²³ Melopsittacus undulatus,²⁴ Scolopendra polymorpha,²⁵ Archispirostreptus gigas²⁶
Trace DNA Components: Echinococcus granulosus,²⁷ Milnesium tardigradum²⁸

Appearance: Specimens range between 12 and 23 centimeters in length and are metameric apart from their heads, which resemble a miniaturized shark head containing dozens of maxilla instead of traditional teeth and a pair of antennae instead of eyes. Each segment possesses two pairs of legs, with the front pair being roughly twice as large as the back pair and ending in small feathered talons. Instances are extremely resilient to damage, requiring high powered drills in order to penetrate their exoskeletons, and have proven capable of surviving in extreme temperatures and pressure.

Specimens are primarily aquatic and highly parasitic. After locating a potential host nearby via smell, the instance will charge them, running at speeds upwards of 1.3 meters per second. Once they reach the host creature, they will latch on via their larger leg segments and begin to use the smaller legs to burrow a tunnel into the host. After they are fully burrowed they will shed their larger legs, and will spend the rest of their lives holding on to the inside of the host creature, leeching nutrients and laying eggs.

Designation:
Primary DNA Components: Panthera uncia,²⁹ Gallus gallus domesticus,³⁰ Dichotomyctere nigroviridis³¹
Trace DNA Components: Mirounga angustirostris,³²Ophiocordyceps unilateralis,³³ Rabies lyssavirus³⁴

Appearance: Specimen is mostly quadrupedal, possessing two short pairs of legs on the front half of it's body with a singular hindlimb taking up the entirety of the back half of the creature. Instead of a traditional mouth the creature has a toothed beak, with three pairs of fangs, one at the tip and two at the back. When threatened, the creature is capable of inflating it's head and torso up to 20 times their original size, at which point it will roll around violently and attempt to quell the threat by smacking it with its tail.

Specimen possesses two types of venom. The first type is injected by the hind fangs while hunting, and causes the prey creature to lose control of various parts of it's body, making it easier to capture and consume. The second type of venom is injected by the front two fangs, and overwrites the majority of the target creatures mental features. Once injected, the prey creature will begin to work alongside the specimen, hunting and foraging without food or sleep for them until they are unable to move, at which point the venom will begin to slowly mutate them into an incubator for eggs, which will fill the creature until it bursts.

Designation:
Primary DNA Components: Loxodonta africana,³⁵ Sabal causiarum,³⁶ carabidae brachinini,³⁷ Zebrilus undulatus,³⁸ Pandinus imperator³⁹
Trace DNA Components: Agaricus bisporus,⁴⁰ Americamysis bahia⁴¹

Appearance: Adult specimens are roughly three meters in height, and posses between two to five large palm growths on their back which can extend up to another six meters. These growths end in a large ball of feathers and tusks, which the creature is capable ejecting at high speeds in order to bludgeon and take down flying prey. Specimens are primarily hexapedal, with an additional two pair of legs situated just behind the mouth and just before the tail. Instances are capable of asexual reproduction by emitting spores from various cavities on their bodies.

Specimens posses a pair a clawed appendages on either side of their mouths, which they use to grab and rip apart prey before chewing it with a tunnel of teeth inside their trunks and then depositing the chewed up paste into their mouth. Adult instances also posses a large segmented tail ending in a stinger, with three small openings present on the second to last segment. When threatened, these openings can spray a boiling caustic fluid at up to 15,000 PSI.

They are omnivorous and docile, and prefer to forage for food rather than avidly hunting for it.
