PROTECT. ║\n║ DOCUMENT: SCP-████ ║\n╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝\n```\n\n**Item #:** SCP-4471\n\n**Object Class:** Euclid\n\n**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-4471 is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-19. The cell is to be equipped with a mirror on the north wall, which is to remain uncovered at all times. Any personnel observing SCP-4471 through surveillance equipment must report auditory anomalies to Dr. Halvorsen within six (6) hours.\n\n**Description:** SCP-4471 appears to be a Caucasian male, approximately 34 years of age, formerly employed as a cartographer in Trondheim, Norway. SCP-4471's anomalous properties manifest when the subject attempts to describe a location he has not personally visited. During these episodes, the described location undergoes minor geographical alterations consistent with SCP-4471's description within 72 hours.\n\n```svg\n<svg viewBox=\"0 0 400 200\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\">\n <rect width=\"400\" height=\"200\" fill=\"#0a0a0a\"/>\n <g stroke=\"#00ff00\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\">\n <path d=\"M 20 100 Q 100 40 200 100 T 380 100\"/>\n <path d=\"M 20 110 Q 100 50 200 110 T 380 110\" opacity=\"0.6\"/>\n <path d=\"M 20 120 Q 100 60 200 120 T 380 120\" opacity=\"0.3\"/>\n </g>\n <circle cx=\"200\" cy=\"100\" r=\"4\" fill=\"#ff0033\"/>\n <text x=\"200\" y=\"180\" fill=\"#00ff00\" font-family=\"monospace\" font-size=\"10\" text-anchor=\"middle\">COORDINATE DRIFT: 63.43°N, 10.39°E → UNKNOWN</text>\n <text x=\"10\" y=\"20\" fill=\"#ffff00\" font-family=\"monospace\" font-size=\"9\">SCP-4471 OBSERVATIONAL MAP</text>\n</svg>\n```\n\n**Discovery:** SCP-4471 came to Foundation attention on 14/03/20██ when three (3) separate Norwegian municipalities reported the sudden appearance of a lake not present on any prior survey. SCP-4471 was located at the shore of said lake, holding a notebook containing a sketch of the lake dated six (6) months prior to its manifestation.\n\n```mermaid\ngraph TD\n A[SCP-4471 speaks description] --> B{Location ever visited?}\n B -->|Yes| C[No anomalous effect]\n B -->|No| D[72-hour latency]\n D --> E[Geographical alteration]\n E --> F[Cartographic records self-update]\n F --> G[Population memory alters]\n G --> H[Original state unrecoverable]\n H --> A\n style H fill:#800,color:#fff\n style E fill:#440,color:#fff\n```\n\n**Addendum 4471.1 — Interview Log:**\n\n> **Dr. Halvorsen:** Can you describe the city of Lisbon?\n>\n> **SCP-4471:** I've never been to Lisbon.\n>\n> **Dr. Halvorsen:** I'm aware. Please, describe it.\n>\n> **SCP-4471:** There is a river. The river is the wrong color. The bridge was not there yesterday. I am sorry.\n>\n> **Dr. Halvorsen:** SCP-4471, Lisbon has had a bridge for decades.\n>\n> **SCP-4471:** *(pause)* Yes. Now it does.\n\n**Addendum 4471.2:** Following the interview dated 08/11/20██, the Ponte 25 de Abril in Lisbon, Portugal, was measured to be 14 centimeters longer than all prior architectural records indicate. Foundation cartographic records have been updated. Civilian memory shows no inconsistency.\n\n```\n┌─ FILE INTEGRITY ──────────────────┐\n│ ████████████████████████░░ 94% │\n│ LAST VERIFIED: ██/██/20██ │\n│ DISCREPANCIES: 3 (within normal) │\n└───────────────────────────────────┘\n```"
