item #: scp-026 object class: euclid special containment procedures: scp-026 isto remain securely locked and boarded up at all times when there is no research ongoing.alarms are set to alert the foundation in case of entry by civilians or other agencies. description: scp-026 is a three (3) storypublic school building built in ████. it has two (2) wings connected to a central foyer.it was declared condemned in ████ after it was found the floor plan didn't match upto the building's blueprints (see interview log 026-01). it came to the foundation's attentionafter several disappearances in the area were
linked to visits to the abandoned building. the building demonstrates spatial anomalies.its internal space is much greater than the external surface of the building would allow.hallways display variable length, while stairways have differing numbers of steps going up ordown. the number of rooms off the hallways changes each time they are counted. attemptsto reach the far ends of the hallways have met with failure thus far. entrance throughthe fire escapes located at the ends of the hallways leads to doors approximately midwaydown the length of the halls. edit: see note 026-a there is considerable graffiti on the interiorwalls of the school. most appears typical,
including gang signs, names, and street art.however, the graffiti fades and reappears, changing location. writing on chalkboardsand bulletin boards changes in a similar fashion. subjects typically found range from standardschool subjects (mathematics, literature, biology), to more esoteric subjects, suchas quantum entanglement, ████████, and eugenics. one researcher reported one boarddetailing information about scp-████, but photographic evidence showed only a blankslate (see note 026-b). the phrase "the children used to sing" has appeared multiple timesin various places throughout the building, but there is currently no explanation forits significance. a number of unconscious subjects have beenfound in the building, mostly of high school
age, ranging from twelve to eighteen. theyare dressed in accordance to the school's dress code, circa ████. several havebeen identified as former students or faculty of the school who disappeared after the schoolshut down (in at least one case, more than ten years after the closure). it is currentlyunknown how they were transported back into scp-026. (see note 026-c) all attempts to wake the subjects while insidethe building have failed. on being removed from the grounds of scp-026, the subjectswake abruptly. they experience a period of confusion, before dying from extremely rapiddehydration, followed by advanced decomposition. no useful intelligence has been recoveredfrom the subjects to date.
the inability to wake subjects extends tothose who fall asleep on the grounds of scp-026, though the rapid dehydration only seems toaffect those who have been found on the grounds of the school. see incident report 026-12. note 026-a: robotic exploration and videofeeds have shown that the apparent spatial anomalies are caused by changes in the perceptionsof observers, rather than actual spatial phenomena. for this reason, scp-026 does not requirethe expertise of mobile task force rho-8 "roadside picnickers" at this time. update: further exploration has shown thatsome spatial phenomena do occur. see the exploration logs for more details.
note 026-b: the contents of notepads, books,and pieces of paper have been observed to disappear, only to reappear on surfaces withinscp-026. new writings have appeared, mostly drawn from graffiti or text-books. cautionshould be exercised in bringing documents onto the grounds of scp-026. note 026-c: several class d personnel exposedto scp-026 have disappeared from foundation control, only to reappear inside the anomalousbuilding. the subjects in question had previously complained of dreams identical to those experiencedby agent malek. update: see interview log 026-08. incident report 026-12during a routine security check of scp-026,
agent malek was found unconscious by his partner,agent jones, in the main foyer. initial attempts at rousing agent malek were ineffective, sohe was moved for transportation to site ██. upon leaving the grounds of scp-026, he woke abruptlyin a state of agitation. when questioned, he revealed that he had been dreaming of aclassroom setting. this dream has been consistent throughout all subjects who have fallen asleepwithin the grounds of scp-026. interview log 026-01 interview with ████ █████, formerprincipal at scp-026. agent ██████: thank you for yourtime, mr. █████. █████: not at all. if there's onething i have plenty of these days, it's time.
agent ██████: so, let's get downto business. you were principal of [redacted] back in [redacted], is that correct? █████: yes, that's right. agent ██████: what can you tellus about that? █████: well, you've heard the stories,i'm sure. folks say it was haunted. i don't know about that, but things did seem strangetowards the end. agent ██████: tell me about them. █████: let's see, there were thestairs, of course. you've heard about that, right? people would count fifteen coming upand sixteen coming back down. i'm sure there
was a trick to it, like an optical illusion,but i never could figure it out. and we had a history book that turned up completely blank.[pauses] i suppose these seem rather tame. but you know how it is. little things addup. people tell stories. agent ██████: tell me about thedreams. █████: the dreams? oh, yes. peoplewere complaining about nightmares. mostly students, but a few of the staff as well.it was always about school never ending. we joked about it at first, but more people talkedabout it. i didn't put much credence into it, but, well, when we found the blueprintsdidn't match up with the school, it seemed easier just to move to a new building. theschoolhouse was old, anyway, and we wanted
a fresh start. and, just like that, thingsseemed to settle back to normal. agent ██████: i see. is thereanything else you'd like to add? █████: hmm. [pauses] it's not reallymuch, but maybe it will make a nice footnote in that book you're writing. i still sometimeshave dreams about being in my office, back at the old schoolhouse. sometimes i'm doingpaperwork, sometimes i'm talking to someone, but it's always back behind the desk, justlike old times. but gradually, i notice something's a bit off. the bell's ringing, but i don'thear anyone in the hallway. no students hurrying in or out of the classroom, no chatter, nofootsteps, nothing but the bell. and it doesn't stop. the crazy thing is that i never noticeit's a dream until then. i've been retired
for ten years, but until i notice the bell,i think everything's normal. crazy, isn't it? agent ██████: i think it's veryinteresting. thank you very much. if you think of anything else, don't hesitate to give mea call. █████: any time. scp-026 exploration logs exploration log 026-4exploration conducted by agent ███████ "all right, i'm walking into the lobby. wallsare mostly bare concrete, a little paint here and there. graffiti everywhere. a few beerbottles, some other trash. looks like just
another abandoned building. "okay, i'm making my way up the stairs. moregraffiti on the walls. okay, i'm going into the hallway. the peeling paint is kind ofcreepy. looks like some sort of sheet fungus. reminds me of [redacted]. the doors are kindof weird. some are really close, others are far. really irregular spacing. doesn't matchup with the blueprint you showed me. okay, here's a classroom. pretty empty. some olddesks. real old, like they had in the thirties. the chalkboard's got a few math problems onit. looks like trig. okay, i'm going to check out another room. "back in the hallway. heading to the nextroom. desks look more modern in this room.
made from particle board. more posters here.look to be from the eighties, i'd say. i recognize some of them from when i was a kid. lookslike latin on the chalkboard. yes, i'm taking pictures. "okay, back in the hallway. heading to thenext room. [several minutes of silence] "there's something really screwy with thisplace. i could swear the room was just a few feet away, but it feels like i've been walkingfor hours. anyway, i'm here. "we've got sleepers. three of them, two girlsand a boy. they look to be around fourteen, fifteen. they're all wearing the same uniform.yeah, just like you showed me. hang on a minute
while i take some pictures. at least we canfigure out who they are. "the furniture's pretty old looking, what'sleft of it. lot of broken chairs and desks. nothing on the walls. chalkboard's… thehell? "you're not going to believe this, ████. it'sgot agent █████████'s notes up there. in her handwriting, even. we'regoing to have to be really careful what we bring in here. "yeah, i've got pictures, don't worry. okay,i'm going to check one more room, and then i'm out. "back in the hallway now. heading for thenext room.
"another anomaly. i've been going the samedirection this entire time, but i'm back at the stairs. yeah, i'm just going to head down.i've had enough of this place for one day. i'll meet you at the door." the developed photos revealed [redacted] exploration log 026-12carried out remotely using a robotic drone via video feed. exploring the first floorhallway. the hallway appeared in poor condition, withgraffiti on the walls. comparison with previous videos shows the graffiti has changed. manyof the same signs were present, but in different positions. some seemed new.
doors were uniformly spaced on the wall. somewere intact, while others were cracked or missing entirely. first room in the hallway was the girl's bathroom.more graffiti on the walls. several broken mirrors. a toilet had been removed from thewall entirely and placed in the center of the room. there was a great deal of porcelainand glass on the floor. the next room over was the boy's bathroom.this was skipped in favor of exploring the classrooms. the first classroom had no furniture. thechalkboard was broken in two. on one side of the board, there was a set of lines reading"i will not pass notes during cla (sic)."
the other side had fragments of a lesson on[redacted]. there was one poster on the wall, depicting helen keller. the second classroom was well furnished, withthe largest number of intact desks to date, mostly made from wood and steel in a styleused in the 1950's. there were two sleepers found that had not been reported in previoussweeps of the building. the first was a male teenager in a student's desk. comparison withfile 026-04 revealed him to be ██████ ███, a former student of the school. he was reportedmissing ten years after the school closed down, at age twenty-eight. the other was awoman in her mid-thirties sitting behind the teacher's desk. her identity is still unknown.the chalkboard had a timeline of world war
2, overlaid with an intricate piece of graffiti. the third classroom had fifteen particle-boarddesks in various states of disrepair. a map on the back wall was consistent with the sociopoliticalconditions of 1974. a bookshelf had collapsed, and spilled a set of encyclopedias onto thefloor. the robot was then guided to the end of thehallway and back to the entrance. there was no sign of spatial anomalies at this time. exploration log 026-15exploration conducted by agent █████, accompanied by a robotic drone. "okay, i'm in. lobby looks like it alwaysdoes. probably some graffiti drift. here comes
the robot." the lobby was compared to previous videos.some differences in the graffiti were noted. otherwise, no significant changes. "i'm heading upstairs now. goddamn, the robot'sheavy. how much crap did you load on it? you could've warned me. gonna rest a second onthe second landing. video coming in all right? cool, cool." first set of stairs was navigated withouttrouble. the second floor hallway appeared similar to the first floor hallway, thoughwith less debris. "i've caught my breath. heading up to thethird floor. wish there was a guard rail…
next time, it might be easier to carry therobot and the gear separately, and load it in once it's up. the gear's pretty idiot proof.i think i could probably figure it out. damn thing must weigh over a hundred pounds. there,on the third floor now. i count… twelve doors. weird spacing. that last door's gotto be at least a hundred yards down. this place is pretty messed up." rangefinder showed the hallway was approximatelyforty-five meters long. five doors on each side, evenly spaced, with one more door atthe end of the hall. eleven total. "i'm heading in. there's not as much graffitiup here. a bit of debris. i'm opening one of the doors. janitor's closet, and, hey,we've got a janitor. he's sleeping standing
up. that's new. male, seems to be in his mid-fifties.nametag says "███████." a couple old broomsticks, what's left of a mop… lookslike rats have been nesting in here. they've shredded one of his pantlegs, but looks likethey didn't touch the sleeper himself. what? you want samples? eh, sure. wouldn't be theweirdest thing i've picked up for this job. okay, i think that's it." comparison with file 026-4 revealed the sleeperto be ████ ████████, former janitor in scp-026. later analysis of therat feces revealed [redacted]. recommended future exploration teams wear biohazard gear. "here's a classroom. no, no sleepers. coupleof desks intact, the rest looks pretty bad.
looks like someone took a sledgehammer tothe place. no, wait, i stand corrected. baseball bat. it's leaning against the corner. there'sabout half a case of beer here, full cans. looks like they left in a hurry. hey, getthe robot to face the board. there's something i want you to see. looks like latin to me.could be significant. get someone to translate it, it might be a clue to what's gone downhere." the latin was found to be a series of sentencesshowing different conjugations of the verb vendo, to sell. all were found in ███████'slatin primer, a textbook formerly used by the school. the baseball bat was aluminum,and analysis of the fingerprints was inconclusive. "okay, next classroom. desks look fairly modern.eighties, i'd guess. chalkboard's got a quote
from nicholas nickleby on it. yes, i'm sure.it says right there on the board. 'the sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meetfrowning eyes, depend upon it.' nicholas nickleby, by charles dickens. there's an apple on thedesk. looks fresh. i'm tossing it into the drone. okay, i'm looking out the window. hey,are you guys still out there? because i see kids in the schoolyard. i don't see the van,or any of you. yeah, second classroom on the right. you see me? weird." the apple appeared fresh on the video feed.however, when removed from the samples bin, it was in an advanced state of decomposition.the drone's feed through the window showed the foundation van on the ground, and theresearch team looking up at the window. no
children were seen in the schoolyard. "okay, you want me to head down the hallway?all right. let's see if i actually make it this time. not holding out any hopes. walkingforward. it looks ten feet to the next door, which would actually put it in the last room,but who's counting? "i'm still here. it's just farther than itlooks. feels like i've been walking at least a couple of hours. i'm almost there. i'm justgoing to take a breather. i—okay, this is wrong. i've stopped moving, but now i'm goingbackwards. the hallway's moving past me. shit, i just saw the door move past me. i'm movingforward again. that's better. "okay, i'm almost there. one last dash andi should make it. and i'm back with the robot.
i knew it wasn't going to work. there's noway to get there, i'm telling you." the video feed showed the next door was thirtyfeet away. the total elapsed time from one door to the next was five minutes, in whichtime agent █████ meandered toward the end of the hallway. no anomalous activitywas observed while he was standing still. when he neared the end of the hallway, agent█████ turned around and quickly returned to the beginning of the hallway. "okay, i hear you. i've got my eyes closed.i'm walking forward. left, got it. going straight. correcting left again. correcting right now.okay, this is going a lot faster. okay, correcting right. yes, right, i heard you. goddamnit,i am going right! okay, left. no it is not
the same direction! look, if you think it'sthat easy, just send the robot in." the robot was able to reach the end of thehallway with no problems. agent █████ attempted to follow, but was unable to keep a straightline to the end of the hallway. "just go ahead and send the bot in. i'm notgoing to try again until we have a better idea what's in there. something's keepingme out of there. we should figure out what it is before anything else. look, if you wantto know that badly, go yourself or request some class ds. i'm not going in. deal withit." at this point the robot opened the door andcrossed the threshold into another hallway, running perpendicular to the first, thirtymeters in length. no doors were visible. a
single window was observed but was situatedtoo high for the view outside to be visible. the walls were free of graffiti. the leftwas a dead-end, while the right terminated in a left-hand turn. the robot turned rightinto the new hallway. after ten meters, the unit's gps showed it to be outside the building,though the video feed still showed the hallway. it continued to the end of the hallway, andturned left. agent █████ was just ahead, at the beginning of the original hallway.turning the camera behind the robot showed only the stairwell, with no sign of the secondhallway. the unit's gps showed it by agent █████'s position at this time. "i see another classroom. i don't see therobot, though. i lost track after it went
through the door. what do you mean it's outside?did it go out through the window? look, maybe the gps is screwy. calm down. what do youmean turn around? what the hell am i—oh, fuck! okay, that's enough. i'm calling itoff for the day. we can come back after we get some class ds in here." interview log 026-08 dr. █████: "please have a seat." agent walker: "thank you." dr. █████: "let's get down to business.i understand you're requesting a transfer out of fieldwork. would you like to talk aboutthat?"
agent walker: "i'd rather not." dr. █████: "it's your choice. however,i can't approve a transfer without reason." agent walker: "look, i…" the agent pausedhere. "you've seen my record. you know i worked on twenty-six, right?" dr. █████: "i've read the report." agent walker: "i was there the first timewe took one of the sleepers out. a lot of them were adults when they disappeared, butthey're kids again when we find them. so, i see this sixteen-year-old boy just kindof shrivel away. i had nightmares that night." dr. █████: "you're supposed to reportany unusual dreams after contacting a potentially
mind-altering phenomenon." agent walker: "it hadn't been declared a mindscrewyet. we just thought it was weird space thing. we were just watching it until the picnickersgot there. and it was a shock, you know? we weren't expecting anything like that. anyway,i got over it quick enough. i'd seen worse. i once had a guy melt while i was holdingonto him." dr. █████: "i see. what happenednext?" agent walker: "nothing, for a while. i wentin a couple of times, but didn't see anything too weird. but… look, i know i should havereported it. but one of my buddies had just been disappeared after getting touched bysome weird scip, and i didn't want it to happen
to me." dr. █████: "you've been affectedby an scp?" agent walker: "i… yeah. it was a week later.i was dozing in the back of the van, and i started dreaming." dr. █████: "can you describe thisdream?" agent walker: "just like the others. you'veread the reports, right?" dr. █████: "pretend that i haven't.for the record, agent walker." agent walker: "all right. i'm in a classroom.it's just like one of the ones in 026, but new. not falling apart. i knew the teacher'sname. i knew who was sitting by me, even though
i'd never seen most of them before. the bellstarted ringing, but no one moved. i raised my hand, but the teacher didn't notice. finally,i tried to leave, but the door wouldn't open. then i noticed something strange with my hand.it had color. everything else was black and white. but i felt like i was the one who was…wrong? out of place? that's when i woke up. the van was leaving. no one else noticed i'dbeen asleep." dr. █████: "and you didn't thinkto report this?" agent walker: "like i said, i was scared.and this was before they found malek. i figured it was just another nightmare. nothing weird.and after malek had his dream, well, they didn't do anything with him, so i figuredit wasn't a big deal."
dr. █████: "he was put on observation.you should have been as well, for your own safety and for the safety of others." agent walker: "you paper-pushers think it'sall so easy, don't you? sitting behind a desk all day, you don't know what it's like. well,things aren't so clear out there. not when you're the one hunting talking cats in a sewer,or waiting to see if you're the one who's not going to come back this time." agent walker was visibly distressed. it wasseveral minutes before she calmed down enough to continue the interview. agent walker: "anyway, it wasn't until laterthat we connected the dreams with the sleepers.
not until they found those class ds on thesecond floor. still, i thought i might be okay. i wasn't actually inside of twenty-sixwhen i dreamed. i wasn't sure until the dreams started." dr. █████: "you're having reoccurances?" agent walker: "yeah. they started six monthsago. it's the same dream. but each time, it takes me a little longer to notice it isn'treal. and when i look at my hands, they're a little more gray." end interview 026-31 note: agent walker has since been given aclass a amnesiac and returned to field work.
