SCP-EQ-014 - Afterschool Special
Item #: SCP-EQ-014
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-EQ-014 is to be kept in three separate sealed chambers protected by armed guards at all times, as well as constant magical surveillance. When not in use, each component is to be kept one per chamber. Under no circumstance are any creature other than the Head Researcher and their team to enter any of the chambers for any reason.
The floor of SCP-EQ-014-2's chamber is to be fitted with a pressure sensor connected to an alarm system. Should any unaccounted for weight be detected, powerful sleeping drugs shall spray the entire chamber from sprinklers embedded in the ceiling. Should the breach not be contained by this measure, shaped explosive charges shall be used to render SCP-EQ-014-3 inoperable. These defenses are only to be disabled if prior notification is acquired through SCP-EQ-014-1. Destruction of SCP-EQ-014-2 is to be used only as a last resort.
SCP-EQ-014-1 is to be monitored constantly for changes. Should activity be noted, its handler and the Head Researcher are to be notified immediately regardless of time of day.
Description: SCP-EQ-014 consists of three components: a leather bound volume (SCP-EQ-014-1), a crystal mirror set into a silver frame (SCP-EQ-014-2), and a mechanical contraption of eclectic design (SCP-EQ-014-3). When all three components are assembled correctly, they create a stable portal which leads to another dimension.
SCP-EQ-014-1 has the appearance of a normal book, with 214 pages and a golden sun embossed upon the cover. It appears to have been at some point the subject of a linking spell on a magnitude never before seen. Unlike normal communication spell books, SCP-EQ-014-1 is capable of reconnecting to other tomes once its original partner runs out of space. When this occurs SCP-EQ-014-1's pages erase themselves of any previous entries. Testing with linking it to multiple books or books that have more that 214 pages have failed. How SCP-EQ-014-1 manages to maintain its link when its twin is on another plane of existence is unknown.
SCP-EQ-014-2 is a freestanding mirror set into a 0.6 m high circular base. Chemical analysis of the mirror's surface reveals it to be ordinary glass, nor is there anything unusual in the makeup of the stand or frame. Once every thirty moons the surface of the mirror takes on a photon-like quality and becomes a steady portal to another dimension. The mirror retains this property for seventy-two hours before returning to its dormant state. At present there is no known method for preventing this portal from opening beyond destroying the mirror.
The dimension on the other side of the mirror, hereafter referred to as EQ-G, is parallel to our own in many ways. It is mainly populated by ape-like creatures called [REDACTED] that are alternate versions of creatures in our dimension. These duplicates retain much the same personalities as their equivalents, and even occupy similar lifestyles and social status, but are not bound to mimic their Equestian counterparts exactly. Creatures transported through either side of the portal are transformed into the species of their counterpart, which is only reversible by transferring through the portal again. Items carried or worn transform into local equivalents when taken through the portal, and items such as clothing are generated when traveling to the EQ-G side.
There seems to be a lack of magic and knowledge of such in EQ-G, but magic does still exist in minute quantities. The other side of the portal opens out from a stone statue's base in front of an institute of learning and most explorations to date have been confined to this school and its immediate vicinity.
Time appears to move slower in EQ-G compared to our reality, elapsing at a rate of 1:3. Time maintains a 1:1 ratio in a ten meter radius of the portal when it is active, allowing uninterrupted conversation with the other side when in this vicinity.
The components of SCP-EQ-014-3 are comprised of a variety of materials which seem to serve no understandable function. The whole is primarily wood and metal, with tubes, bulbs, and wires jutting out in symmetric yet seemingly random placements. The bottom is crescent shaped and spaced perfectly to fit around the base of SCP-EQ-014-2. A metal tray suspended at the apex of the device cradles SCP-EQ-014-1.
When activated, SCP-EQ-014-3 somehow draws magical energy from within SCP-EQ-014-1 and funnels it downward through its system, filtering through its various components before injecting it into SCP-EQ-014-2. This somehow stabilized SCP-EQ-014-2's nature enough to open the portal outside of its normal cycle and maintain it for as long as the device is operational.
All three components of SCP-EQ-014 were donated to Foundation custody by [REDACTED]. She built SCP-EQ-014-3 herself in a "fit of scientific inspiration" and does not remember the actual creation process. Attempts to duplicate her work have failed. Prior to SCP-EQ-014-3's creation, SP-EQ-014-1 and SCP-EQ-014-2 did not have any connection to each other.
Shortly following Foundation acquisition, SCP-EQ-014-1 was noted to be suffused in a pink glow and vibrating. Upon opening it, writing was discovered appearing on its pages, revealing the fact that its current counterpart was in use. The writing was in some strange flowing script wherein each letter connected to the one before it, but it was quickly deciphered enough for conversation to take place. In spite of standing protocol, the Head Researcher made the call to initiate contact.
Princess Twilight? Are you there? I need to talk to you.
Who is this?
Who am I? Who are you? Where's Twilight?
...The Princess is otherwise occupied right now. I'm Dr. T___ T_____.
A doctor? Is Twilight alright?! Did something happen to her?!
Please don't be alarmed. I'm not that kind of a doctor.
So... a psychiatrist then? Can I talk to you instead? I really need to tell my thoughts to someone.
...Sure. You can tell me whatever you wish.
Ah good. You see, in math class today...
Repeated contact with this entity has revealed her identity to be S_____ S______, a former citizen of our dimension. She appears to be in close contact with several PoIs in universe EQ-G and it has been decided to keep in close contact with her to discover potential threats that might cross through the portal. She has been supplied with a cover story that the Princess's duties have made her too busy for casual contact, and Assistant Researcher D____ D__ has been assigned to her care. She has established and maintains an acceptable rapport with the asset.
Expeditions: While there have been many forays into EQ-G, only the first one is included in this report. For a full list of transcripts, see accompanying file.
Due to inability to enforce containment, Assistant Researcher B_________ P___ volunteered for the excursion instead of a D-Class. B_________ P___'s mission pack includes:
One (1) headset magically connected to a speaker in control.
One (1) rope twenty (2) m in length secured to researcher's waist and tied to a secured structure on the Equestrian side.
One (1) standard camera with a roll capable of creating twenty-four (24) prints and additional rolls for extended use.
Two (2) 0.5 L bottles of water.
Two (2) high calorie apple fritters.
Two (2) notebooks.
Five (5) simple black markers.
SCP-EQ-014 Expedition 1
Testing, testing. You guys hearing me all right?
We're reading you, BP.
Good. No idea how that works, considering what I just went through. My head is still spinning...
Can you describe the process?
Just... colors. Lots of wild colors and spinning and twisting and... urg, I'm getting nauseous again...
Get a hold of yourself. Can you describe the immediate area?
Yeah... yeah. Just give me a moment... I'm still freaking out a bit about having these HORRIBLE DIGITS ON THE ENDS OF MY-
(Several minutes redacted due to irrelevance.)
OK. OK, I'm better. Rope's severed, not sure exactly when that happened. Still got my pouch, though the camera has become some square thing with buttons on it. And the markers are now pens, I guess. Hey, I see the building [REDACTED] described. Do you want me to proceed?
Go ahead, BP. Make sure to record anything odd you find.
There's plenty odd here... uh, Control? I'm here.
Alright, see if you can gain entry-
No, Control! I'm here! I mean, it's me! I just ran into me!
...Please describe the situation more clearly.
There's a guy who looks just like me and he's... look just give me a second, he's telling me something.
This is vital, BP. Gather what information you can.
(Several minutes of muted conversation too muffled to be picked up.)
Control? The other me's told me they've got a Foundation over here too. And, uh, it's not as... well, I don't think you're going to like this.
Please clarify, BP.
Well, they're not nearly as well funded as ours is. And uh, he's got some stuff in boxes he wants us to hold onto?
[REMAINDER OF LOG REDACTED]
Addendum: Several unconfirmed reports have been received concerning wild portals opening up to EQ-G in random places in Equestria. All portals have closed before Foundation assets could arrive on the scene. Connection to extensive use of SCP-EQ-014 has been proposed and use of SCP-EQ-014 has been temporarily suspended.

Random Portals?
Wouldnt that be harmonic sideband bleeds with range and intereference limitations, unless being Harmony linked, it might be only limited, or maybe even not then, by local Sun and Moon, as well asusual planet surface?
Either Twilight is lying or someone or something gave her the idea to built a "doorknob" for the portal and erase itself from her memory

The reports of random portals were probably because of Sci-Twi.
Classic Foundation tactic where they can't deal with the problem themselves they throw in another universe to randle the consequences.
Although the founding problem may indicate this univers is the one with the GOC puppet Foundation.
05-1: This emergency meeting of the 05 Council is now in session. At 0900 yesterday, Foundation agents were dispatched to study a newly discovered anomaly. Official classification still pending. The object is a statue of a horse which appears to function as a portal to another dimension and is likely linked to several anomalous events that have occurred in the area. During the investigation, one of our agents encountered what appeared to be an alternate version of himself. The doppelganger claimed to be from an alternate version of the Foundation which, if his word can be trusted, serves the precise same function as ours. For now they have been lead to believe that our universe's Foundation is nothing more than an after school club. However, given the aforementioned anomalous events, I believe we should establish formal ties with this "Equestrian" Foundation in order to coordinate our containment efforts. All in favor?
10693448
Wonder if Gummy is the dual of 682?
10693448
05-8: I believe that contact may be beneficial to contain the large numbers of anomalous portal that have been appearing that seem to originate from the other side of the portal and have led to [REDACTED] incidents. We need to find a way to prevent them before the veil is broken.
10693589
Well he wouldn't exactly be, the EQG 682 is likely a more friendly creature that the SCP Universe one, so Gummy would be the parallel of a parallel.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Foundation kept constant surveillance on The Main 6. With so many SCPs they've had contact with and even created one (possibly more) one have to wnder if they don't have some SCP magnetic properties. So far they've met 87% of the shown ones. Or some higher entity manipulates the World and Fate so they could deal with them. Looking at you, Harmony
10693589
Now I image that Gummy is like Gunter/Orgalorg from Adventure Time. Though taking the form on his own free will.
Same with Boulder. I'm telling you guys, that little pebble is more threatening than it let you to see. Don't let it fool you.
10692968
I'm aware. I just thought it could be added as a type of scp. Either for fun or for the creativity of the author
Bet that Twilight is wondering where this is.
10694227
I don't think she is on the O-5 council, definitely a POI and likely knows about some of the anomalies they contain, but not working for the Foundation itself. I just don't see her having the heart to steal from the Dragon Lands, especially since mearly finding out Smolder was missing was enough for them to declare war, when they find out the forgery Equestria would burn and there would be nothing they could do to appease them.
Aside from the fact that she doesn't have the heart for the job, there wouldn't really be much of a counsel in the first place as everypony would just go along with what she wants. She is, after all, a beloved figure in Equestria.
10694122
You want downright terrifying?
Go the full Xanth, cross Parasprites with That Tree.
10694327
Have to remember she been ruling for millenia, never question what one would need to do to stay in power for such a long time, even the benevolent ones.
10694474
I think it would be Euclid since is too unknow and it sounds like the map can't move from it's position that is easy to at least protect from ill intent. It would at least make sense if some cleaning staff are field agents tasked to keep watch from instance 1 and 2 (castle and map).
Still the Foundation probably would look to research it's connection with the cutie marks (pretty sure there is a scientific term), how much intellinge possess.
Also the Treehouse need a file too, Celestia did say it meant way more than a hangout for a bunch of students afterschool. If anything it would be nice that serve as refugee that food and water always restock in the nect day, books that were never written along with ones that exist, mostly books are about wilderness survival and social isolation and guidebooks about several dangerours anomalies both know and unknow to the Foundation.
I get the impression this other Foundation is more like the UIU in the main SCP canon. I.e, underfunded and forced to rely on other groups to contain the things they are supposed to be containing but can't. But they could be trying to be deceitful and offload some of their anomalies onto another foundation. That actually does give some interesting options, like maybe having the Sirens sent back though to Equestria for the Foundation to handle along with their potentially restored necklaces.
10694474
You know what, you're right. I was thinking that the Map only selects from a group of qualified candidates, but with your comment I realize that the Foundation does not know who can be chosen, if not everyone. By my own words, it passes the Keter test, even if it is so far a good Keter.
10694563
They seem to be mostly stuck working in Equestria and under equestria's rulers so- yeah Equestrian Foundation is the UIU.
All three components of SCP-EQ-014 were donated to Foundation custody by [REDACTED].
I'm just going under the assumption that this was written in to make Spike not worry, there is no reason for Twilight to donate the mirror, at least not without telling Sunset in the book, plus she'd be loosing complete contact with Sunset who a dear friend of hers. My guess? She found them trying to move the mirror and told them to stop, they knock her out and take her with it to figure out how to remake the portal.... door? she tells them all she knows except for the journal in the hopes they give it back, they wipe her memories and add in new ones of the cover story so that Spike doesn't get worried and go rogue on them.
Hopefully twilight gets that mirror or book back… Sunset at least works for them now which is better then being cut off
Sunset: ...so thats why...
Heh
