| ITEM: SCP-5275 |
LEVEL 2/5275 |
| CLASS: keter |
restricted |
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5275 is to be contained in a Cost-Effective, Minimal Security (or CEMS) containment cell. In the event that IT breaches containment, a single security officer is adequate in ensuring a safe recontainment.
The Ethics Committee has granted Site-53 Command permission to prioritize cost reduction when rebuilding SCP-5275's containment cell after it breaches containment. In the event that a containment breach damages the containment cell of other anomalies, this is to be overridden by standard recontainment protocols.
Description: SCP-5275 is New York state resident Stanley Yoshiro, (at time of first documentation) a 17-year-old human male that exhibits unconscious control over locomotive teleportation. Train manifestation occurs on a long-range (≥10-kilometer) basis. Manifestation typically consists of the translocation of at least a single train car across that distance, from a randomized vector, in the direction of SCP-5275's line of sight.
Most translocated trains come from the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (or MTA) rapid transit network. This network contains upwards of 6,500 train cars across 400 kilometers of above- and below-ground railway tracks. Over a period of 18 months, the MTA (in co-operation with Foundation staff from Sites-16, -22, and -53) claim that SCP-5275 was accountable for 31 separate incidents costing over $52.7 million in repairs.
Across extended psychoclinical and anomalospatial study of SCP-5275, research staff note that the expression of its anomalous ability corresponds primarily with its present emotional state. This ability does not appear to be restricted by its physical location. For instance, SCP-5275 exhibited a level of irregular control over its ability six months after its family moved away from New York City, ~97 kilometers due north.
The Site-53 Psychology Department is of the opinion that SCP-5275's anomalous ability emerged from a place of psycho-social trauma in its lifetime, directly correspondent with the New York City Subway.
MTA police enforcement officials currently have a warrant out for the arrest of Stanley Yoshiro. Foundation personnel are concerned that further co-operation with the MTA on this matter is likely to exacerbate SCP-5275's condition.
Addenda Materials
I. Recovery
Site-58 Foundation officials respond to the spontaneous appearance of a train crashing in downtown New York City. Personnel discovered a concurrent theft, and determined that it was related to the manifestation of SCP-5275's anomaly. After apprehending the perpetrator and SCP-5275, mass amnestics were administered.
II. Timeline of Incidents
YYYY/MM/DD:
5275 struggles and refuses to attend interviews, lashing out. Trains destroy the first, second, and third containment units during this period.
YYYY/MM/DD:
5275 is sedated and relocated to Site-53, a low risk containment site in order to prevent damages to containment cells of Euclid and Keter anomalies. Site personnel decide to postpone interview sessions indefinitely.
YYYY/MM/DD:
5275 experiences a nightmare and lashes out unconsciously, causing its first recorded incident since relocation to Site-53. This is the first incident where 5275 manifests more than one locomotive. After the incident, site personnel note that 5275 was not breathing, and the anomaly was placed on life support. 5275's manifestations are assumed to be linked to its emotional state and a proposal for psychological evaluation of the anomaly is approved
YYYY/MM/DD:
5275 regains consciousness. The anomaly is significantly more cooperative, agreeing to an interview session with the site psychiatrist.
III. Interview
This is a collab between Lt Flops and n_aepic_fael does not match any existing user name.
9:24 PM <Lt_Flops> naepicfael: i was busy with something but im here now
9:24 PM anything you had in mind, collab-wise?
9:25 PM <•naepicfael> Lt_Flops: depends. are there any topics you prefer or would rather avoid?
9:26 PM <Lt_Flops> really personal topics, i would prefer to avoid. i think i'm pretty flexible with stuff though
9:27 PM <•naepicfael> mmm
9:27 PM would you be fine with collabing about "the insufferable prick who can summon a train"
9:27 PM <Lt_Flops> like. he just gets really angry and a train appears?
9:28 PM <•naepicfael> it's a humanoid that can summon a random train out of thin air at the direction he's pointing at
9:28 PM but the sheer effort it takes to move something like that causes him to pass out almost immediately afterwards
9:28 PM and instead of using it for crime or against crime, he uses it for the stuff that doesn't require that much force, like fighting off a mugger by attacking him with a train
9:28 PM and part of the addendum would be complaints by the head of the project that the humanoid is deliberately breaking down walls just to fuck with them, with no intention of actually leaving
9:28 PM <Lt_Flops> lmaoooo
9:29 PM that's hilarious. i dig it so much
9:29 PM <•naepicfael> awesome!
9:35 PM <Lt_Flops> naepicfael: wonder where the trains come from. "SCP-XXXX, have you noticed any… Rifts, by chance? Shimmers in the air? Heard anyone talk like a snake in your vicinity?" "… What do you mean?" "My research team has expressed… Concern… Over the source of these trains." "What the fuck?"
9:37 PM <Lt_Flops> "SCP-XXXX, please co-operate. We don't want to have another train excursion incident." "I'm not even mad; just, like, stop crimping my style."
9:38 PM <•naepicfael> Lt_Flops: the original idea was that he just points at a direction and a subway just barrels at that direction out of his shadow. it's then a fiasco because it turned out that his source was the MTA and stealing subways fucked with people's commute, especially when people are inside. when the train doors are open, it's revealed everyone is unconscious but unharmed
9:38 PM but i'm open to changes if you have any other idea as to how this could work out. And yeah, that dialogue sounded fantastic
9:38 PM <Lt_Flops> omg that is so wild
9:39 PM does he have something against the MTA? i mean, that makes sense, it's the MTA
9:40 PM <Lt_Flops> i want to think that he has some code of honour. such as, he only manifests trains at night when they're not in operation. and only rarely, he does it when people are commuting
9:40 PM <•naepicfael> mmm, that could work
9:41 PM there was this wild scene i had in mind where someone attempts to mug him, and he panics and decides the best way to defend himself is to shoot a train at the attacker, but misses completely
9:41 PM he passes out, the mugger collapses in sheer shock, and a bystander robs the both of them while they're out cold
9:42 PM <Lt_Flops> god, are there any parts of new york that are that bad? that this guy has to resort to redirecting MTA trains every few days
9:42 PM i like that scene tho
9:42 PM <•naepicfael> Lt_Flops: probably not
9:42 PM he might not even be in new york, it's just that his powers are inexplicably linked to the mta subway
9:42 PM <Lt_Flops> oh lol
9:43 PM <•naepicfael> it could be the reason why there's always a fucking delay in nyc metro
9:43 PM cause when i took the subway back home from high school, my subway was always delayed
9:43 PM cause there would always be a train missing from the intended station
9:43 PM <Lt_Flops> maybe he was mugged under the MTA's nose one time and they didn't help him or investigate or anything, and now he just has an anger at ne'er-do-wells taking his stuff
9:43 PM lmao… yeah we could expand on that too
9:44 PM <•naepicfael> dope
9:44 PM <Lt_Flops> like, the high frequency of train delays, signal problems, derailments, etc. on the metro in recent times
9:44 PM <•naepicfael> that could work
9:47 PM <Lt_Flops> maybe we could set this in a place of high crime, but not in NYC (impossible to do veil control there)
9:47 PM <Lt_Flops> tbh i do like this being in new york state though
9:47 PM <•naepicfael> sure that could work
9:47 PM <Lt_Flops> alright
9:47 PM <•naepicfael> new york would be interesting
9:48 PM "Train crashes into local deli, residents angry that it means delayed subway commute yet again"
