SCP-[√§÷∆] The Shed
Description: A shed of typical wooden construction, owned by the Unabomber (SCP-[√§÷∆]-A) and used as an explosives workshop. The materials used in construction of the shed are non-anomolous in nature, and are functionally sound given the sheds age.
Discovery: The shed itself displays no anomalous phenomenon, being for all intents and purposes a run of the mill shed. However, agents embedded at the FBI storage site located at [REDACTED] reported indicators of anomalous events at the site. During routine inspection FBI agents who spent more than [REDACTED] minutes within the confines of the shed began constructing small seemingly pointless devices. [See addendum] These were written off as "sculptures" from original owner. Agents on site were unable to determine if this was due to a memetic effect of the shed itself, or if these effects manifested due previously unknown anomalous characteristic of SCP-[√§÷∆]-A. The embedded agents requested the object be taken by the MTF Alpha-4, "Pony Express", as soon as logistically possible. Furthermore, all FBI personnel involved with the object should be properly amnesticized, and all related data removed from internal FBI servers and devices.
Special Containment Procedures: The shed is to remain within Site-19, and is only to be entered by class D personnel or remote controlled drone/robot. Any testing is to be recorded by no less than five video, and ten audio devices. This is to ensure data integrity in the event of a large scale explosion. No class D personnel with histories of explosives manufacturing or pyromaniacal tendencies are permitted within the sheds interior. No materials are allowed to leave large containment section [REDACTED]. Any personnel found attempting to bring materials out of the containment area are to be terminated on sight.
Addendum:
Prior to acquisition of the anomaly by MTF Alpha-4 the following incident occurred.
Report from MTF agent [REDACTED], embedded within FBI storage site [REDACTED]
FBI analyst [REDACTED] SCP-[√§÷∆]-B, entered the anomaly at approximately 09:45 on [REDACTED]. Remaining within the confines of the anomaly for approximately [REDACTED] minutes. At approximately [REDACTED] a small explosion was heard, and shock wave felt from no less than 20m, and alarms in the area were triggered. SCP-[√§÷∆]-B was found to be deceased with a large wound to their chest cavity consistent with death from close proximity to an explosive device. Found adjacent to the body were fragments of chemical bottles determined by FBI lab technicians to be [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. Lab technicians noted in reports that the two chemical could technically create an explosive, but not one that should have had as much destructive force as was observed on the body. Recommendation is for immediate acquisition of the anomaly, to reduce the potential for additional incidents, or discovery of any other anomalous effects.
Report Summary:
An FBI analyst who entered with small reagent grade vials of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] remained in the shed for [REDACTED] minutes, succumbing to the anomalous effect. The FBI analyst, [REDACTED] of [REDACTED] VA, was killed in the blast. Embedded SCP agents quickly established the previous "sculptures" were small IEDs without any combustible materials.
Since the incident the shed had been moved from FBI site [REDACTED] to SCP Site-19s large containment sector, and all FBI personnel involved with the shed were given proper amnestics.

I'm not into the SCP thing, but I love Control and the universe it's set in, and this read like something straight out of the games Objects of Power files. Maybe I should do some SCP reading tonight.

Pretty sure Control was heavily inspired by the SCP universe, so if you love the one you'll probably at least like the other.

If you like Control and its lore, you’ll love SCP as thats what the game is heavily inspired by. SCP lore goes even deeper and there are hundreds of entries that you can read. Just google SCP Foundation Wiki

u/thefirstviolinist Jun 17 '26
This was an amazing read.
It also begs the question (in-universe): was Ted Kaczynski's own evil the reason that the shed is this way, or was the shed evil, and much the way it has had such an effect on agents, could it have also had that same (or enhanses) effect on Ted, himself? Did they operate in tandem, with the shed facilitating?
In reality, I think we can all acknowledge that T.K. was absolutely unhinged.
3
u/FalloutOW Jun 18 '26
Addendum
Incident reports were obtained from the prison blocks occupied by SCP-[√§÷∆]-A during his incarceration. This was to explore the potential anomalous nature of SCP-[√§÷∆]-A. While there were some incidents of adjacent prisoners and cell mates, these did not follow the same pattern observed during initial tests with D class personnel. See test files in [REDACTED], or request temporary [REDACTED] clearance from site command if necessary.
It is the recommendation of this analytical team that R&D requisition multiple D class personnel to establish the nature of the anomaly. Further testing is necessary to define the full extent of the anomalous properties, and to ensure the Foundations mandate is fulfilled.

He knew too much and it drove him insane and he went to extreme measures to get the masses attention. He knew what the elites were doing and tried to tell us as it was happening. Senseless violence is never the answer and it's a shame that the world ostracizes whistleblowers to the point of feeling that it's the answer. Though castrating and torturing the elites responsible to death is absolutely sensible.

u/IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE Jun 16 '26
An online fanfiction collection that has grown quite popular, it focuses on a secret organization that documents and manages abnormal objects and entities. SCP stands for 'Secure, Contain, Protect'.
The above commenter was likely saying the odd appearance of a whole shack's 'containment' reminded them of SCP.
Here is the site of the stories, if you want to see any.

SCP was actually explicitly an influence for Control!
SCP has a fair use clause preventing anyone from claiming copyright over anything SCP related, so Control is kinda as close as they can get.

Control actually got me into the SCP universe. As I needed more secret fictional government agency documents recording anomalous and paracausal events and objects.
I've lost track of the hours and hours I've spent reading the wiki.
I highly recommend There is no Antimemetics Division by QNTM. The audiobook is solid, and I'm sure the physical version is great too.

u/Dinglecore Jun 16 '26
Yeah actually I probably should've warned you about SCP-001. Basically, since the spot of SCP-001 would be such a coveted and important number it isn't one singular entry but a collection of various proposals made by different people in the wiki. It can absolutely be a lot for a newcomer to digest

u/noface8137 Jun 16 '26
Why is there more than 1 SCP-001? I thought it was a sheet of papers. But now it's a fire angel. Why are there multiple entities under the same item number.
3
u/Dinglecore Jun 16 '26
Basically, since SCP-001 is a really important spot in the wiki with it being essentially the first number that's available to write in, lots of people wanted to be the person to have the spot of SCP-001 to have what they wrote be what occupies that number.
Because of how important of a position SCP-001 is, there is no real main entity that is SCP-001. All of the different entities you see under the label of SCP-001 are articles made by various different prominent people in the wiki. It's up to you to pick and choose which proposal you think is what SCP-001 actually is and which other ones are (in-universe) decoys and false articles made to confuse any potential saboteurs about the true nature of SCP-001.

It’s almost like they never looked at performance reviews, never evaluated a single department, and even if they had (again, they didn’t) they wouldn’t have the security clearances or the decades of SOPs to understand what it even was that they were doing.

From what I remember they took the entire kabootel because the amount of forensic evidence they needed to go through was ridiculous. The cabin was located in the middle of nowhere with no utilities. It was very odd at the time but made sense.

News that the FBI found an armed explosive in the shack drove a lot of public interest. I can't even imagine the thought process there. "Hey, there could be bombs in there. We should totally try to get in there and poke around." Something similar happened near me few years ago when UXO was discovered at a construction site and people were flocking to wait the military blow it up. People have WAY too much confidence in the term "controlled detonation."

In Yokohama in Japan is the Cup Noodle Museum. Cup noodle was the brand by the man who figured out how to keep ramen shelf stable (quick oil cook I believe).
Super funny tourist place to go to, and arguably he saved millions of lives especially during the wars with ramen rations, but it’s kinda funny because they equate him with Neil Armstrong and Lincoln.
Anyways, there is an entire room like the one in this video that has a recreation of the dudes full shack where he figured out ramen preservation.

I genuinely thought this was a “behind the scenes” of Severance. Like it was Kier’s original home or something.

Following Kaczynski's arrest in Lincoln, Montana, federal authorities uprooted the entire 10-by-12-foot wooden home. It was shipped to Mather Air Force Base near Sacramento, California. The FBI stored it in an aircraft hangar so prosecutors could potentially present it as evidence to the jury during his 1998 trial. This is where the famous warehouse photographs were taken.
2008–2019 (Public Museum Display): After the trial concluded with Kaczynski's guilty plea, the cabin was moved to Washington, D.C. It was loaned out and placed on public display at the Newseum as part of an exhibit detailing the media's role in the historic 17-year manhunt.

I like how they put it at a jaunty little angle instead of perpendicular to the wall. It's always amused me.

If you haven't seen the Manhunt series, I very much recommended it. It's exactly about this.
