SCP Foundation/SCPs/SCP-RS-018

Item #: SCP-RS-018

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-RS-018 cannot currently be contained by any known means due to its ability to move between dimensions. All attempts at capture, including the use of the anti-teleportation spells, have resulted in failure.

As SCP-RS-018 is already a widely-known phenomenon, efforts to suppress the information are considered counterproductive. Instead, instructions on leaving SCP-RS-018-A and SCP-RS-018-B are to be distributed to the public through Foundation fronts.

Description: SCP-RS-018 appears as a male member of the Felis catus species, or domestic cat. It superficially resembles a normal black cat with the exception of glowing red eyes. The cat wears a pendant representing a human face.

SCP-RS-018 answers to "Bob" and is capable of human speech. It is fluent in British English, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Dutch. Interviews have shown that SCP-RS-018 communicates with humans through its pendant. Upon manifestation, SCP-RS-018 will abduct the nearest human subject and transport him or her to one of two possible locations, designated SCP-RS-018-A and SCP-RS-018-B:


 * SCP-RS-018-A is a large prison cell roughly resembling the Falador Party Room. The cell has been observed to contain the following:


 * Some ██ purple balloon animals, believed to represent cats, dogs, sheep and goats. The balloon animals are all animate, but do not appear to be sentient.
 * One (1) Bank of RuneScape deposit box on the eastern side. Experimentation has shown that it functions as a standard bank deposit.
 * One (1) gate on the south side, determined to be the only egress from the cell. The gate is secured by three (3) locks, only one (1) of which is locked by default.
 * One (1) lever located next to the gate.


 * SCP-RS-018-1 is a humanoid Caucasian male of indeterminate age who answers to "Pete" and is always found within SCP-RS-018-A upon arrival of the subject. "Pete" will explain that he also wishes to escape the cell, and ask the subject to operate the lever for him. Doing so will cause a holographic projection of a balloon animal to manifest. Bursting a balloon of the matching type will reveal a key capable of opening one of the locks. Remains of destroyed balloons do not possess anomalous properties; laboratory testing has shown that they are made of ordinary latex. Other balloons yield keys as well, but those will cause all remaining locks to become locked instead of opening the original one. Keys disappear after being used, regardless of success or failure. Thus far, there are no means of opening the gate other than with the aforementioned keys.


 * Once all three locks are opened, traversing the gate will transport the subject back to his or her original location. All attempts to access the area outside of SCP-RS-018-A have been unsuccessful as there is no known method of crossing the gate without triggering the teleportation mechanism. Any keys on the subject's person will also vanish once the subject returns to Gielinor.


 * "Pete" will follow the subject back to the outside world and thank the subject for his or her help before disappearing. GPS trackers placed on SCP-RS-018-1 cease transmitting at this point. It is not clear whether "Pete" vanishes on his own accord or if he is transported via an external means. SCP-RS-018-1 does not match the profile of any known missing persons.


 * Subjects that remain in SCP-RS-018-A for 15 minutes or longer generally report becoming physically weaker, although this effect is not fatal and will gradually subside once the subject leaves. It should be noted that SCP-RS-018 itself has never been seen in the cell or surrounding area.


 * SCP-RS-018-B is an islet with an approximate land area of ███ m² in an unidentified body of water. SCP-RS-018 is invariably present at this location. The islet itself does not appear to be anomalous, but has been noted to contain:


 * Some ██ to ██ trees matching those found in tropical climates.
 * Four (4) cat statues corresponding to the cardinal directions.
 * Approximately ██ to ██ m of shorline, depending on the tide.
 * Two (2) pots used for preparing food. The pots are anomalous in that they transform cooked food back into an uncooked state. This process is not understood.
 * One (1) portal leading back to Gielinor. The portal only functions when SCP-RS-018 is asleep.


 * SCP-RS-018-2 is a humanoid Caucasian female that resides on the islet. She claims to be a servant of "Bob" and will explain to the subject that the cat desires raw fish. She will then direct the subject towards one of four (4) areas of the shoreline corresponding to the cardinal directions. Fish can be readily caught off the shore in these areas, but do not match any known species found in Gielinor. Caught fish are in an initially cooked state, and must be "uncooked" using the anomalous property of the pots. This process takes between 15 and 25 minutes. Once fed one (1) or two (2) fish, SCP-RS-018 will begin to rest and eventually fall asleep, at which point the portal will function.


 * Subjects entering the portal will be transported to their original location prior to the SCP-RS-018 event. Sleep-inducing agents, such as anesthetic gases and ethers, can render SCP-RS-018 unconscious and provide immediate access to the portal.


 * "Bob" will only be satisfied if the fish is caught in the area indicated by the servant. If given fish from the "wrong" area, SCP-RS-018 will become angry and continue demanding fish. SCP-RS-018-2 appears to have an innate knowledge of the required type of fish despite the lack of apparent of communication. It is speculated that SCP-RS-018 and SCP-RS-018-2 are able to communicate via telepathic means. Research into this is ongoing.


 * Besides her ability to know the "right" type of fish, SCP-RS-018-2 appears to be an otherwise normal human female with no anomalous properties. However, she suffers from Stockholm syndrome and has repeatedly refused to leave the island; a full psychological evaluation of SCP-RS-018-2 is not possible as a result. Attempts to identify SCP-RS-018-2 are ongoing.

It can be inferred from historical data that subjects are far more likely to be transported to SCP-RS-018-A than SCP-RS-018-B. The two locations are believed to be in the same dimension. GPS trackers do not function in either location; however, analysis of the strength of radio transmissions suggests that SCP-RS-018-A and SCP-RS-018-B are approximately ███ km apart.

Note from O5-3: SCP-RS-018 does not appear to be overtly hostile, so an upgrade to Keter classification is declined for the time being.

''Note from O5-6: It goes without saying, but requests to terminate SCP-RS-018 will also be denied. We are the SCP Foundation, not the Global Occult Coalition.''

Addendum RS-018-1: Video log RS-018-█

Researcher John ██████ was transported to SCP-RS-018-B on █ Pentember, Year 16█ of the Fifth Age while studying SCP-RS-███. He was able to record the incident on video.

1:13:02 - Researcher ██████: Listen to me. We can get you back home, but I really need to go soon. If you're going to insist on staying with that crazy cat, then I have no choice but to leave you here.

1:13:40 - SCP-RS-018-2: Then go. I'm happy here.

1:14:13 - [Researcher ██████ and SCP-RS-018-2 stop embracing. The servant can be heard crying in the background as Researcher ██████ enters the portal and returns to Site-███.]

1:17:26 - [recording ends]

Researcher ██████ was able to retain three (3) specimens of the fish, which are kept at Site-██ for research.

Note from Dr. ███ Alder: Good god, that girl is all kinds of [EXPLETIVE EXPUNGED] up.

Addendum RS-018-2: Agent Mike C█████ was able to obtain a DNA sample from SCP-RS-018-2 on ██ Raktuber, Year 16█ of the Fifth Age. She has been tentatively identified as 2█-year-old █████ ██████, who was first reported missing on 9 Septober, Year 16█ of the Fifth Age. Requests to extract her from SCP-RS-018-B have been denied.

''Note from Dr. ███ Alder: If that nutcase of a lady doesn't want to leave her crazy feline lover, then leave her be. Whatever floats her boat is none of our business.''

Addendum RS-018-3: On █ Ire of Phyrrys, Year 1 of the Sixth Age, Agent Barbara S████ was transported to SCP-RS-018-B while working in Ardougne. Agent S████, who describes herself as an animal lover, immediately began petting and stroking SCP-RS-018 upon arrival. Although SCP-RS-018 appeared to enjoy the attention, it nonetheless demanded fish from Agent S████ before allowing her to leave.

Note from Dr. Alison M█████: He is one spoiled brat, just like my cat!
