SCP 001 is an Embla Class anomaly also known as The Spiral Path. SCP-001 is a circular gravel path in a wooded area. When traveled in a counter-clockwise direction on SCP 001, the trail is continuously uphill, even after reaching the original point. When traveled in a clockwise direction on SCP001, the trail shows the same amount of uphill and downhill travel, as expected. Level 5 clearance is required to access SCP-001’s experiment log. New members of Overseer Council are required to read Document 001-O5.

@thespanishinquisition40783 years ago Headcannon explanation for 001: the real scp-001 is actually a set of some of the safest scps out there, like a pencil sharpener that makes pencils longer the reason all these other 001s are apocalyptic or universe altering tales is to misdirect all the other organizations in the scp universe into thinking 001 is the most important scp. Which is also why so many of them are either linked to their beliefs or promise to reveal the deepest secrets of the foundation, which is also why it is used to designate multiple random and perfectly safe anomalies, since that way it has multiple demonstrable storage sites. In essence, it' s only real purpose is to keep every enemy of the foundation focused on these stories going in circles (literally in the case of this path) and running around while headless chickes.
i mean, really. Who would be as obvious as to actively note down what set of files its deepest secret is located within? And even more, do so on the first file, number 1, making it even more obvious it' s somehow the most important file.
you ask me, i' d hide my secrets on the anti-meme. That' s where they' d be really safe. ...Expand 16

@cossakrose3 years ago This has always been my favorite scp-001 proposal. A truth that shakes you to your core and exposes everything you' ve known to be a lie is infinitely just another super monsterthat wants to destroy the world. ...Expand 127

@-dr.rogerarrambide57003 years ago I think that what happened was that first anomalies didn't exist, but after they started testing on scp-001 anomalies started to appear independently from scp-001 like it says in .

@buboniccraig89611 months ago This is by far my favorite one
none of the other 001 proposals sit right with me
001 means its the first one they found or at least thought save the " super mega death gods" for the thousands. This is way more narratively satisfying. This will always be the true 001 to me. ...Expand 2

@windblownleaf64503 years ago I like this scp001 the most. It always felt to me that the foundation achieved too little with all the paranormal knowledge that they had. It makes sense also the part where they fuck up and hide it is pretty realistic for an organization. ...Expand 6
