SCP 0 0 1 the SCP foundation contains thousands of anomalous creatures, objects and phenomena and this list of SCPs, of course, starts with number 1 newcomers to the site will be perhaps surprised to find that there is no single SCP 0 0 1 But instead there are currently over two dozen proposals outlined for the slot The reason for this structure within the universe is so that no one outside of the o-5 council know which of the proposals is the true SCP 0 0 1 for the sake of security the reason for this out of the universe is because having the 0 0 1 slot was considered special and It was reserved for something worthy of the slot The proposals were then first submitted hoping to earn the spot But at this point it's likely that no single proposal will ever be chosen While a number of the 001 proposals are related to the concept of the fictional starting of the foundation Just as many of them have nothing to do with the early foundation There are far more proposals than I'd like to fit in one video and likely many more to come So this video will go over a number of the most popular proposals The highest-rated proposal was submitted by dr. Clef titled the gate guardian this proposal describes a massive humanoid entity over a thousand feet in height that Stands motionless at a location near the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers This entity is standing in front of a tremendous gate Through which a pastoral Grove can be seen which include two immense fruit trees The entity is seen with its head bowed holding a large sword or knife and with a number of bright wings emerging from its back Any entity living or otherwise that comes within one kilometer of SCP 0 0 1 is attacked and obliterated instantly Additionally any hostile action taken against SCP zero zero one from any distance results in the destruction of the attacker However, those that directly observe the entity from a safe distance are given a telepathic order that they are compelled to obey The most common of these is forget causing the observer to walk away and forget their experience Notably the founder of the foundation was given the directive prepare leading him to start the SCP foundation The foundation has done some minor testing with the entity but nothing so far has passed the 1 kilometer barrier Scp-073 and zero 7 6 known as Cain and Abel Both refused to go near the entity although Cain was ordered to approach Causing some expunged effect and the termination of any further experimentation Finally the proposal ends with the transmission that the foundation received time-stamped a number of years in the future Discussing SCP 0 0 1 leaving its location and an imminent apocalyptic scenario The entity currently has no containment procedures, although it is constantly monitored s Andrew swans proposal titled the database Showcases a simple and yet meta answer for the existence of the foundation and all of the SCP s in a nutshell this proposal outlines the concept that the SCP foundation Attempted to look into a grand unifying theory that connects all of the SCP s in their universe to a single origin in The process they discovered that their records would often change on a whim but also that their reality was changing along with it the reason for this and the reason why they halted all investigation into the origin theory and expunged practically all of the data is That they discovered their universe is subject to the omnipotent wills of a group of horror writers to put it plainly this proposal says the foundation discovered that their reality is Constantly subject to change based on what the authors of the SCP website decide to write To combat this the o-5 council have prepared a series of memetic agents that would affect viewers of the SCP database leading to unconsciousness or death This proposal is one of the more controversial ones due to the extreme meta nature But it does neatly answer the question of where all the anomalous objects come from SD Locke's proposal takes on a unique format titled when day breaks Alternating between the standard technical writing typical of an SCP entry and a somewhat more traditional storytelling format The writing is in the second person starting with detailing how you followed a distress signal into an abandoned foundation facility while being hunted by some sort of monster you Barricade yourself in a room with a computer terminal and turn it on Here we are presented with a proper description of SCP 0 0 1 Which is now the designation that the foundation assigned to the Sun after an inexplicable event This event caused light rays from the Sun to melt any living organism including plants animals and humans into a still living congealed mass of flesh Plants can still photosynthesize animals remain sentient and humans, retain some sapience and memory But when touching these masses can combine and blend together into large bulk organisms that drag themselves around Additionally any anomalous organism loses their anomalous properties when affected by the Sun an Estimated 6.8 billion casualties occurred within 24 hours of this event leaving the earth an apocalyptic wasteland It's implied that eventually all life on Earth will be a part of a single mass of gelatinous flesh as Those affected seemed to desire to bring everything else into the sun's light the rest of the proposal goes over some earlier logs of some foundation personnel attempting to survive the apocalypse and Eventually, the reader you are dragged out of the facility by the mass and taken into the light Dr. Mann's proposal the spiral path is incredibly simple on the surface merely a circular path in a forest that seems to be continuously uphill when walked in a counterclockwise direction a Fence some armed guards and a nearby laboratory make up the basic containment procedures But an attached document available to new members of the secretive o-5 Council provides the full story The document tells the tale of a physicist named Aaron Siegel who discovered the anomalous gravel path in 1891 Rather than ignoring it and moving on Aaron decided to study it finding it to be basically a glitch in our world From his experiments he was able to derive new equations and he began to create inventions based on these new principles The first of which was a key that could open any lock SCP 0 0 5 He brought in other bright minds to study the path with him creating the basis for the foundation But rather than containing the anomalies they hope to use them to better the world One discovery flowed into the next and although they started small They began experimenting with humans and creating more elaborate anomalies mistakes were also made with inadvertent creations also coming out of this period but they kept moving forward gaining funding from governments and militaries around the world as The foundation grew the original group of researchers continue to create new anomalies But created The Masquerade of having other people find their creations Certain individuals from the group split off forming groups such as the Church of the broken God But the o5s continue to create new anomalies to better understand what they've done The document leaves off by stating that they didn't create every SCP held by the foundation Some just appeared in containment and were always in containment Like many 0:01 proposals this one either fits with your head Canon of the foundation or a dozen Jonathan balls proposal sheaf of papers is another simple one that attempts to explain where all the SUVs come from the sheaf of papers is literally that a small stack of papers with confidential report on special items classified written on the cover page when the cover page is turned over a new SCP is described and Sometime after reading the report the SCP described will be discovered somewhere The first SCP described was SCP 0 0 - Followed by 0 0 3 and so on it's unclear whether or not the sheaf of papers is responsible for creating the SCP s in question or merely notifying the reader and the discoverer of their existence Rather than concerning itself at the start of the foundation Jorik and domotics proposal 36 more relates to the end of the foundation 36 describes 36 individuals of varying ages genders and ethnicities When any anomalous item or phenomena is brought within close proximity of one of these individuals The anomalous quality is nullified When multiple members of the 36 are brought together the range and intensity of this nullifying field is increased Additionally when any of the 36 died multiple anomalous events will occur Along with the sudden appearance of varying dangerous entities examples include sudden rainfall containing numerous fatal pathogens massive walking creatures and spontaneous ritualistic cannibalism in a widespread area Civilian casualty after each of these events are generally tremendous reaching into the tens or hundreds of thousands After the death of one of the 36 they are supposedly Reincarnated as newborn babies, although the foundation has yet to prove this It's believed that once all 36 individuals are brought together. Their nullifying field will reach across the cosmos Removing all anomalous properties from existence and making the world young again There are of course many other proposals for the SCP 0 0 1 slot Dr. Gears prototype proposal is simply a dangerous son. Ominous humanoid and is presented as the very first SCP that the foundation decided to report on Kate McTiernan In the SCP 0 0 1 slot becomes true and she apparently uses this ability to become God The broken god proposal from twisted gears and cactus goes over an incident in Mexico in 1942 when members of the Church of the broken God attempted to rebuild their God with a false heart leading to disastrous results brights factory proposals a story of a grim and deeply mysterious factory that continually creates new scps for unknown reasons as Mentioned some of these certainly deal with explaining the origins of the foundation or of SCPs in general and Many others are just immensely powerful or notable scps there's no real guidelines for what constitutes an 0:01 proposal and Sometimes certain scps end up as 0:01 proposals, even though the author originally wrote it for some other purpose The actual first SCP written was 1 7 3 posted on the paranormal board of 4chan and is currently the highest rated article on the SCP wiki The SCP zero zero one slot is indicative of the SCP universe as a whole as so many of them contradict with one another forcing readers to pick and choose what fits their personal headcanon I'd encourage you to read a number of them yourself to decide which one suits you But only the o-5 council know which of them is the truth
