SCP-████-A/B — “The Ciphered Anchor”
Object Class: Thaumiel/Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-████-A (Bill) and SCP-████-B (Dipper) are to be contained together in a Class-IV Residential Suite at Site-43. The suite is customized to resemble a standard living space, including shared sleeping arrangements, recreational access, and personal effects.
Under no circumstances are SCP-████-A and SCP-████-B to be separated for more than 60 seconds. In the event of separation, reunification must occur immediately. If direct reunification is impossible, live audio transmission of SCP-████-B’s voice may delay destabilization for up to 30 additional seconds.
Interaction with both SCPs is restricted to Level 3 clearance or higher. Personnel must not interfere in their personal relationship. SCP-████-A consistently refers to SCP-████-B by the nickname “PineTree.” Staff are advised not to mock or replicate this name.
Description
SCP-████-A (Bill Cipher): A former interdimensional entity, now inhabiting a permanent human form while retaining a significant fraction of his anomalous power (reality bending, higher-dimensional perception, and localized causality manipulation). Despite appearing as a 19-year-old human male, SCP-████-A’s physiology does not age.
SCP-████-B (Dipper Pines): A human male fixed at age 19, possessing enhanced intellect, precognition, and anomalous resistance to higher-order entities. Subject was granted agelessness by SCP-████-A for reasons of stability and comfort.
Both subjects exhibit a deep romantic bond. This connection functions as a stabilizing anchor for SCP-████-A, preventing dimensional instability, breakdown events, or hostile reality incursions. Foundation analysts classify this bond as a containment-positive phenomenon.
Discovery Log
Initial containment occurred after a cascade event in the forests of ███████, Oregon. Civilians reported a “second Weirdmageddon,” including spontaneous fractal storms, gravity inversions, and symbolic burn-scars manifesting across terrain. Foundation response teams deployed under cover of a seismic event investigation.
SCP-████-A was discovered in human form, actively distorting reality in wide-area pulses, oscillating between coherent humanoid presence and unstable geometric projection. SCP-████-B was found attempting to calm SCP-████-A, speaking directly to him, addressing him as “Bill,” and physically grounding him through touch.
Upon proximity, all environmental anomalies collapsed into stability within ~90 seconds.
Agent transcript notes confirm SCP-████-A visibly relaxed when SCP-████-B clasped his hand, addressing him with the term “PineTree.” Foundation containment was achieved only after personnel allowed SCP-████-B to remain beside SCP-████-A. Attempts at separating them during transfer triggered mass destabilization.
Both were relocated to Site-43 with minimal resistance, provided their bond was preserved.
Housing Situation
SCP-████-A and SCP-████-B cohabit their Class-IV suite. Key housing notes include:
A shared bed; co-sleeping is mandatory for SCP-████-A’s stability.
SCP-████-A demonstrates extreme clinginess and prefers continuous physical contact (hand-holding, cuddling, resting against SCP-████-B).
Mild displays of affection (light kissing, embrace, making out in limited contexts) are tolerated by Foundation staff, as they correlate with reduced anomalous activity.
SCP-████-B mediates SCP-████-A’s volatility, serving as both romantic partner and containment anchor.
Both exhibit psychological wellbeing when given autonomy and treated respectfully by staff.
Containment Analysis
Stability Window Without SCP-████-B: <60 seconds.
Fallback Audio Mitigation: +30 seconds maximum.
Event Threshold if Anchor is Removed: Apollyon-class cascade.
Containment Priority: Maintain SCP-████-B’s trust and preserve the relationship dynamic.
Addendum ████-I: Foundation Personnel Briefing Sheet
Clearance Level: 3+
Distribution: Required reading for all Site-43 staff assigned to SCP-████-A/B.
Overview
Subjects: SCP-████-A (“Bill”), SCP-████-B (“Dipper”).
Class: Thaumiel/Keter.
Containment Principle: Preserve the bond.
Critical Facts
SCP-████-A is a former interdimensional entity of catastrophic power.
SCP-████-B is his sole emotional anchor; separation beyond 60 seconds risks global catastrophe.
Both subjects are biologically ageless (fixed at 19 years old).
Their relationship is romantic and containment-positive. Do not interfere.
Housing Notes
Both are housed in a Class-IV Residential Suite (Site-43).
They share a bed. Physical closeness (cuddling, kissing, co-sleeping) reduces destabilization.
Bill displays clinginess; Dipper mediates effectively.
Do’s
Allow them access to comfort items and personal autonomy.
Permit affectionate contact.
Notify immediately if separation occurs (protocol is instant reunification).
Respect SCP-████-A’s use of the nickname “PineTree” for SCP-████-B.
Don’ts
Do not attempt to separate them except under direct O5 or Director Mercer’s orders.
Do not frame Dipper as a prisoner — treat him as cooperative staff-class personnel.
Do not test SCP-████-A’s destabilization thresholds unnecessarily.
In Event of Separation
Time Limit: 60 seconds.
Response: Immediate return of Dipper to Bill.
Fallback: Audio transmission of Dipper’s voice may extend tolerance window slightly (<30 seconds additional).
Director Mercer’s Summary
“If you forget everything else, remember this: Bill is only contained because of PineTree. Keep them together, keep them safe, and the world keeps turning.”
