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.

[jaredprovost]

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

[UGNAvalon]

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.

[XenBaker]

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.

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!

[basimaziz]

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~.

[Sgtdoc]

I love listening to your SCP videos, you do a good job on them

[DarthCalculus]

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

[l.francesca]

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."

[harmen]

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.

[DecisiveZoom]

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

[Pocgamer]

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.

[OhhCrapGuy]

My favorite part of the week. Like, literally, I look forward to it every week

[TheRealPixoCore]

Since Keter refers to containment difficulty, a ink substance that continues to grow larger and larger with no means of neutralization definitely deserves Keter

[tokiWren]

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

[MCCanaryVideos]

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

[whatwouldyoudoif]

Always been loyal to your channel for SCP story content. Love the telling, vibe, and aesthetics. Always top tier in my mind

[TheAero]

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 always forget you upload Sunday.
